Product description
If you’re trying to nail consistent colouring across sketches, alcohol markers can feel a bit like guesswork at first. This AEDAGA set leans into the common pain points: picking the right shade quickly, spotting the right marker from the cap, and blending colours without your results looking mismatched.
On paper, it’s built around two things: a large 80-colour alcohol marker range and a companion app that helps you find and match colours more confidently. There’s also a mix of chisel and fine tips, so you’re not locked into either broad fills or ultra-fine linework.
The essentials
This is a set of alcohol-based markers designed for colouring, sketching and drawing, with an audience that includes both beginners and more experienced users. The key promise is that the alcohol solvent dries quickly, which helps when you’re working through layers or moving on to the next area.
It’s also positioned as a practical learning-and-making kit rather than just a stack of pens. The included app is meant to make colour selection easier, especially when you’re facing similar-looking colours or you’ve previously run into issues where cap colours don’t match what you end up with on paper.
What you’ll notice day to day
The most usable parts of this set, from a buyer’s perspective, are the basics that affect your workflow:
- Marker tips for different jobs: the chisel tip (1–6mm) suits both sharper edging and broader strokes, while the fine tip (1mm) is aimed at details and more controlled lines.
- Fast drying alcohol ink: alcohol-based markers typically behave well for blending, and the quick-dry angle matters if you don’t want to wait around between passes.
- A “find the shade” app idea: if you’ve ever had a drawer full of similar markers, this is trying to reduce the friction of choosing the right one.
To picture how you’d use it: imagine colouring an anime-style character’s hair in small sections. You pick a mid-tone colour using the app guidance, lay down a smooth base, then switch to the fine tip to tighten outlines or add small highlights. Because the ink dries quickly, you can build up without everything smudging together as easily.

Where it shines (and where it may fall short)
Where it shines: if you want a single set that covers both colouring and more precise work, the two-tip design is genuinely helpful. The alcohol-based approach also supports colour saturation and blending, which is usually what people look for when moving beyond basic colouring pens.
The app angle is a standout concept too. Even if your results depend on paper choice and your own blending technique, having a way to identify and match shades can reduce wasted time when you’re deciding between similar colours.
Ten seconds of realism: it’s hard to judge how accurate the app colour matching will be across different paper types without seeing it in action. And while 80 colours is a lot for a starter-friendly set, it may still feel like “mid-to-range” coverage rather than a fully specialised collection if you’re expecting ultra-specific tonal ranges for professional workflows.
Who it’s for, and who should skip it
It makes sense if you’re:
- getting into alcohol markers for anime/manga-style colouring and sketching
- after versatility (fills + lines) thanks to chisel and fine tips
- the kind of person who wants the selection process to be quicker, especially with lots of similar shades
You may want to skip it if you’re:
- already very confident in your colour system and don’t care about app-based guidance
- mainly doing large-scale colouring where tip control matters less than sheer output (you might already have a more suitable format in mind)
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a beginner-to-intermediate friendly alcohol marker set where the colour-picking and marker identification challenge is addressed via a free app, plus you get both broad and detailed tip options in the same kit.
It might not be the best match if you expect perfect shade accuracy without experimenting, or if you’re the type who already has a tightly set palette and doesn’t benefit from tools that help you choose between similar colours.
Before buying, it’s worth checking that the app experience appeals to you (because that’s the differentiator here), and bearing in mind that your final look will still depend on your paper and blending habits.
