Alcoholbased markers are used by Manga artists and cartoonists, not by Fine Art artists. Yes, because those markers are not lightfast. You cannot and you should not hang art which is done with them on your wall because they will fade. But: you can turn your marker art into prints. That is what I do - I scan my marker pieces and use the digital files for greeting cards or even small prints. The other thing is you do not want to go too big with markers. I prefer A5 which is half the size of a copy paper. Nevertheless I am still spending more time with the painting process than I would do if I would use acrylic paints. You have to be a patient person or you have to learn to be patient!
