posca acrylic markers

i recently got into using acrylic markers for coloring and i like them a lot, but i only have a couple colors and theyre not that good quality wise. the only other brand physically available in my city is posca, and im wondering if i should buy that or invest and order some more expensive markers from another brand. any advise?

i've only ever used micron myself, but what i've learned is that the best tool to use is the one you're most comfortable with. objectively speaking, what would more expensive markers get you in the long run?

I looove my poscas! i dont use them super often so ive had them for about two years? None have run out yet but it really depends on how often you use them :) for me it was worth it but my pack of 6 cost about 35CAD..so youre paying quite a bit for not much variation colour wise. If you have access to amazon i recommend checking out some of the paint markers on there- ive used these in my art class and they worked super well ^_^!

i find posca pens tend to tear up the paper, but theyre probably the most accessible. they work just find, bt make sure to have thick paper and work slowly, waiting for everything to dry between colours
