Buying markers as an architecture student is tough. Everyone on the internet is pressuring you to buy the $100+ pack of Copic markers, but odds are, you've never really sketched with markers much before. Our team of architecture graduates agree: it's best to start with a small investment, and if you enjoy using them, upgrade later.
That said, it's still important that you don't waste money on a cheap set of markers that suck. A lot of cheap sets dry out quickly, don't render color very well, or come in unsophisticated colors that make your sketches look less complex than your childhood scribble your mom still has up on her fridge.
These markers' excellent price kicks in the "too good to be true" syndrome while you're waiting for them to be delivered to your door. This is followed by a great sigh of relief when you open these markers and use them for the first time. They are everything they say they are.
The colors blend like a dream. The ink dries fast without smudging. The markers are dual-tipped for both fine and broad strokes and the broad stroke end is indicated with a gray ring so you can tell which side it is with the cap on. Color-coded caps ensure organization and easy-of-use, plus it comes with a case to keep them in one place.
The set comes with 41 colors, and the colors included are perfect for architectural sketches. Dark, middle, and light shades of green for sketching summertime plants. Browns, oranges, and tans for rendering different types of wood, and different shades of red for rendering brick. A light gray, dark gray, and black for black and white sketches and showing concrete. Many different shades of blue so you can render sky and water in the same drawing without them looking the same. There are pinks and yellows for flowers and sunset skies.
Don't just take our word for it. Take into account the 7,500+ Reviews that gave these an average of 4.7 Stars. These come with prime delivery and can typically be at your door in 48 hours. These markers are yours, all you have to do is tell Amazon you want them and we've made it easy for you:
