In this video I am cleaning up and sharing a deep dive into how I organize my pens and markers. I'm also swatching the ones I have to get a better idea of everything I have and show you how they work.
ORGANIZATION
I store everything in an Alex Drawer from IKEA in iDesign organizers from Amazon. The organizers I purchased & use are:
1 4x8 organizer: amzn.to/3QjCV9L This one is good for one set of markers or longer markers like the zig dot markers.
4 4x12 organizers: amzn.to/39rQrrh These allow you to store two rows of shorter pens + markers.
1 8x12 organizer: amzn.to/39rQuTZ This holds all of my Tombow dual brush markers. I have the 96 color set and it fits perfectly.
All organizers are 2 inches deep, fit perfectly in the shallower Alex drawers, and are extremely high quality. I love them and would highly recommend!
MARKERS & PENS
Tombow Dual Tip Brush Pens: amzn.to/3Hn68fZ
I have the 96 set and love these for calligraphy, bullet journaling, art journaling & scrapbooking. They are really easy to work with if you want to start out with calligraphy but I will warn that the tips produce larger letters. They are great for titles & a lot of the colors work well as highlighters. The other tip is great for thinner marker writing.
Tombow Twin Tone Markers: amzn.to/3NRVala
I have this rainbow set and really love these markers for bullet journaling, note taking, art journaling & scrapbooking. I love the marker tip, it's very similar to the marker tip on the brush pens. The other side is thin enough to be a pen, but in fun colors.
Posca Paint Pens: amzn.to/3xMo80d
I love these for art journaling & scrapbooking. I have most of the colors of these, including some metallics + sparkly ones. My most used are the white, black + dark blue (it's just a gorgeous color). They write super smooth + opaque and are great for drawing on photos, vellum, transparency + paper.
Zebra Mildliners: amzn.to/3mP5HS5
I love these for planning, note taking, art journaling, bullet journaling & scrapbooking. They are my absolute favorite highlighters & I use them daily. I love the highlight tip and use it both to highlight and draw. I don't use the marker tip as often because it's not as fine as I would like, but these are still my absolute favorites and I use them all the time.
ZIG Clean Color Dot Markers: amzn.to/3aR7VxJ
These markers have a fine tip + a dot tip and it's the dot tip that makes them special. I love these for planning, note taking, bullet journaling, art journaling & scrapbooking. Basically, the dot tip makes a perfect bullet point. I highly recommend these if you like to make lists!
Archer & Olive Acrylographs: www.archerandolive.com/collec...
I have a few collections of these & have picked up some in subscription boxes. These are a great quality paint pen and write well on various surfaces. Personally, I prefer the Posca pens, but these have some benefits. First, they come in a wide range of colors and second they are a finer tip for more precise drawing.
