Ironlak Striker Alcohol Marker Review - Worth It?

Thanks for watching guys!
Have you ever used Ironlak Markers? What was your experience with them? I’ve definitely heard from people who have enjoyed using them a lot more than I did!

STALK ME ELSEWHERE ON THE INTERNETS:

I’m thinking about trying one of the markers you were gifted because $9 each? Owwwch. Even though I would be using it for something pretty different, mark making on collage prints, your thorough review suggests that, like the Ironlak alcohol ink, the company’s commitment to excellent is, um, spotty. Thanks.

I love their spray paint, the smell gives me this nostalgic feeling lol

These are great markers and well worth the bargin! People focus too much on the brand of the tool rather than their talent and passions. Copic users are much like Apple fanatics--they tend to find whatever reason(s) to justify the insane costs of that brand's products and drag other brands down. I've tried many brands and none are perfect, including Copic. And Strikers blend just as well as Copics if you take the same time to hone your craft. Both brands are for beginners and advanced, it just comes down to your logic and what you deem worth your while. Give most brands a go and make your own judgment. Remember, more expensive does not equal more talent. What is art about anymore?

I also went to SupaNova and saw these. Sadly, I was too broke to buy them since I spent my money on a nendoroid. :p

Those markers don't blend well because of the paper. Some alcohol markers tend to be inconsistent when they are used on ordinary paper. Also, your coloring technique seem sketchy... i mean, why do you do retouches on a obliviously dried part of your artwork!?

Geez, why does it seem like a bunch of angry marketing people got together and decided to lambast anyone who said something bad about their brand? Like, am I wrong, doesn't it seem like that?? Lol, you don't have to answer that, but I'm just saying... I thought it was a very fair review, even considering that they shouted you out and gave you free goodies. Honestly, that would make most people want to go softer on them (and for a moment, I thought you might, which kind of made me sad, but glad you didnt!) so it was refreshing to see that you stuck to your guns and gave your honest opinion on it. Sorry for all the butthurtedness in the comments, maybe they need to work on their product a bit more if they're trying to branch out to a larger audience, or maybe they just have an insanely dedicated fan base that doesn't allow for free thought (apple ring a bell anyone? Anyone? TheCoffeeAddictedWriter, perhaps?) Lol, okay sorry! Loved the review, thanks for your honestly and all that jazz. Have a good one!

TouchLiit or TouchFive aren’t too bad if you don’t want to spend a fortune first starting out, you should check them out. I got an 80 marker set of brush tips of the TouchLiit for $39.99 this year and they helped me develop my marker skills and confidence, but I’d like to know your opinion and see how it compares to the Ironlak markers :P

Ironlak Strikers are graffiti markers. I own both these and Copics. I blend very well with Ironlaks. They work amazing. You dont know how to use them so i dont think you should really be doing a review with them especially since you dont know how to use them.

The Union Heights store on Chapel St Windsor in Melbourne has a bunch and can take online orders.

Ironlak has always made insanely good shades of green

Ironlak will do fine selling spray paint.

It’s a graff marker though. Your basically towing a car with a scooter. More meant for tags then big pictures.
