Different disadvantages: oil-based markers have poor color saturation, water-based markers Markers cannot be superimposed for coloring; 4. Different suitable drawing papers: oil-based markers are suitable for sulfuric acid paper, and water-based markers are suitable for cardboard.


Which is better, oily or water-based markers?


1. Different medium

      Oil-based markers are insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohol. If the pen is dry, you can absorb a small amount of alcohol before using it; water-based markers are soluble in water, and add water when dry.


2, the effect is different

      Oil-based markers are soft in color and volatilize quickly, and the color will fade after the coloring dries; water-based markers have bright colors, clear strokes, and are not easy to change color after drying.


3. The disadvantages are different

      The disadvantage of oil-based markers is that the color saturation is poor; the disadvantage of water-based markers is that they cannot be superimposed and colored, which can easily make the picture dirty.


4. Applicable to different drawing paper

      Oil-based markers have relatively strong penetration and are more suitable for painting with sulfuric acid paper; water-based markers are usually used for painting on tight cardboard or coated paper.
