Avery CNKC-2200N/6VPA Fine Art Marker Set 12 Colors

Manga Illustration Starter Set

This 12-piece marker set combines alcohol-based twin-tipped pens with a water-based fine liner for manga and illustration work. The dual tips on each marker provide both brush and fine points for varied line weights. Made in Japan by Kuretake under the Zig brand, the set targets beginners and hobbyists who want a complete starter kit for character art.

Upgrade From Basic Pens

The set replaces single-tip markers or basic fineliners by adding brush flexibility and alcohol-based blending capability. The jump is worth it when you need smooth colour transitions and variable stroke widths in a single tool. The included MANGAKA black pen handles waterproof linework that will not bleed when coloured over with the alcohol markers.

Check Your Paper And Workflow

Verify that your paper handles alcohol-based ink without excessive feathering or bleed-through. The markers use xylene-free dye ink that dries quickly, but very thin paper may still show ghosting. Ensure you want permanent alcohol-based colour rather than water-soluble media, and confirm the 12-colour pastel range suits your palette before ordering.
