I had been using colored pencils but told DH I was interested in trying markers because they are finer and I can do more intricate designs. For my birthday he got me a small set of super fine markers (I am blanking on the brand and am too lazy to get up right now lol). I used them for the very first time yesterday--didn't do even 1/4 of a page and most of them are already drying out.
I think one issue is that I need a variety of points--not all fine tip--so I can use a broader tip for larger sections of coloring. But it still seems not good that they would dry out so quickly.
