Editor's Summary
I recently discovered Fix Price's new double-sided markers in their stationery section, and I'm hooked. The 24-color palette in a transparent case is seriously heavy, and the dual tips on each marker are a game-changer. They're perfect for precise lines and bold strokes. I've been using them to create some color gradations on watercolor paper, and the colors are bright and vibrant. They're not ideal for professional use, but I think they're a great deal for the price.

Hello there!
I recently stumbled upon Fix Price's new double-sided markers in their stationery section and just had to grab a pack.
What caught my eye was the 24-color palette in a transparent case - it's actually pretty heavy. Each marker has a dual tip: a fine tip on one side and a chisel tip on the other.
The color palette is well-chosen for a limited number of colors, but I personally missed a dark yellow shade.
There's no unpleasant smell when drawing, and they feel super comfortable in your hand. The caps fit snugly and don't come off easily.
I tried using them to create color gradations on watercolor paper 'Rybachka' - I don't have any special paper for markers, and I'm not planning to buy any. As you can see, smooth transitions are hard to achieve, but the price definitely shows. However, the colors are bright and vibrant, and I didn't get any dry ones. They're definitely better than regular felt-tip pens.
I'll attach a color gradient to give you a better understanding of the color palette.
And here's a quick sketch I did in 15 minutes. Drawing with them is a real pleasure, but you'll need to place another sheet of paper underneath to avoid staining your table, as the ink seeps through.
I'd recommend these markers for quick sketches, coloring books, stress-relief art, and kids' artwork. I think they'll last a long time.However, for more professional work, you'll want to invest in something better.
Thanks for reading!
