Using markers for coloring is a lot of fun. They lay down rich, vivid colors faster and easier than colored pencils. They also cover a larger area with each stroke than gel pens or pencils. The result is a very crisp, professional look in a shorter amount of time (after some practice).
There’s definitely a learning curve to coloring with markers, especially if you are used to colored pencils or gel pens. Overlapping strokes are more noticeable with markers, for example. Still, I know most of the finished pages I see online that really blow me away are the result of coloring with high-quality markers.

However, you should be able to find some of the most popular options and get an idea of how others feel about them.
