I feel like I have started to see markers gain increasing popularity among urban sketchers on platforms such as Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markers tend to be used predominantly by animators, comic book and manga artists, product designers, fashion designers and many other professions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they have become far more widely used in recent years for things such as crafting (my mum uses Pro Markers in her card making) and for use in adult colouring books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s interesting to see more and more artists using markers for urban sketches. I love the graphic bold style that can be achieved with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are pros and cons to markers and while I see many \u201curban sketches\u201d on Instagram produced with markers, I do wonder if most of them have been done at home from a photo. There is no judgement in this statement, I just wonder at the portability and convenience of sketching on location with a large set of markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Dean a.k.a Shoreditch Sketcher<\/strong> tends to do a line drawing on location and sometimes adds colour at a later date with markers at home (although not always).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
