Last August 8, my cousin told me that online shopping platform is having sale for specific products price 18¢ or they just give it for free and at first I didn't believe him so he ask me to try and we only live once so I did it and yeah the news is true I pay only 18¢ for 48 piece Acrylic Marker I do the research and the original price of the marker is about $3.
I asked him maybe they're going to send me the damaged one, but they proved me wrong, so yesterday my order got delivered. Imagine I set the payment method to "Cash on Delivery" for only 18¢ LOL just to see what reaction the delivery man looks. But I am too shy to do that, so I pay it online.

Unboxing Time!
My order was delivered safely and the markers are thin and small, it what I expected. And I like the plastic case of it, the minimalistic look, and it has a lot of color. I am pretty confused LOL.
Swatching The Acrylic Marker
Swatching The Acrylic Marker
I started with yellow shades. I used one of my watercolor papers, and this is what the pen tip looks like. It reminds me of the usual marker that can be bought at a store.
Some of the shades of the marker are pretty transparent when I swatch them, perfect for the first layer.
Next, I swatched the shades of orange, red, and brown. They're almost opaque when I swatched them.
For the next swatch, I do the green shades. They're opaque too, which is great. I like the swatch of 3rd color.
Next is I swatch the blue shades of the marker. My cousin saw my swatches and he liked the 6th shade of blue. They're pretty opaque, too. I like to use them for shadows.
For this part, there are different kinds of shades that I missed adding to the right group of shades. Some of the shades are pink, purple ones, some of them are transparent, and some of them are opaque.
For the final swatch, there are shades of earth tones and black and white shades. I am expecting the white to be completely opaque, but I got a little bit disappointed. Overall all they're good.
These are all the colors and the swatches of the markers. I was supposed to swatch it bigger, but I got scared that I would run out of it without trying it in real real-time situation.
Let's Try The Acrylic Marker!
Let's Try The Acrylic Marker!
At first, I didn't know what to do, so I just tried it with my artist instinct, and I thought I would mess this drawing up, but I guess the ugly phase is just from the start. I just trust the process here. I drew the peach I saw on Pinterest.
I just layer and layer each color every time. At first, I didn't know what the heck I was doing, as the progress I am getting used to it.
At this part, the drawing is pretty muddy, but as I add the shadow, which I use the shades of blue, I get better. And I swatch the blue color I am going to use for the background.
The time I fill the background with color, I can see the part that I needed to fix and add something to it.
I am pretty stressed about the process, so I only took a photo when I remembered I needed to document it LOL, so yeah, this is the final art using the acrylic marker.
Close-up shot, I like the texture of the drawing, and the filling of the background makes it look better. I didn't add details to it because it is making me stress, LOL.
