While shopping at the mall the other day, I came across a $7 set of 24 Pepco artist markers, and I got curious to try them out and review them for anyone who might want to buy them in the future. For reference, I am currently living in the Czech Republic, and I shopped these markers in store. So if you are reading my blog from the USA or any other country, you can still find them online for half the price probably. But lets see if they are worth buying in the first place.

Cheap Pepco artist markers first impression

My first impression of the markers is that although they are really cheap, they don’t actually feel like it. I mean they come in a box, they are double ended and there were 24 colors in the set that I picked up. The markers feel sturdy and well made.

The firs thing I did was to swatch the markers and see their color payoff. All the swatches are one swipe of both the broad and the fine tip and I made sure to add the reference of each marker to make it easier for you.

So, what were my first impressions of the swatches?

As you can already tell from the picture, when swatching the pepco artist markers, some of them were far more pigmented than the others, and by the look of it, I know well that some of them will be more streaky in term of color payoff. However, we can only decide after testing them out in an actual drawing.
