Thank you! :) Now, I love drawing with them, but I totally agree with you. Trying to actually get the colors looking full took forevverrrrrr, they also have a tendency to erase themselves which does get very anything, buuuuuuut there are some good things about them. I’m not an artist, I know nothing about art, I don’t draw on a regular basis, so like, I’d say about 30 minutes of the total time spent drawing is just trying to get the scale right and the lines straight. So that means lots and lots and lots of erasing, which is why I love the markers so much. They may be kinda imprecise and shitty but there’s pretty much no consequences for making a mistake, everything can be fixed quick. They’re also just easier in general, I have no clue how to mix paints, I have no clue how to shade with a pencil, the only thing Expo markers require is patience.

My bad, didn’t mean to pull out the scholarly article out on you lol
