I am a bit overwhelmed with the amount of markers I have now. I started with the 120 set, and basically expanded until I had all of the available colors. As of now, I've been keeping them in the bags they came in, just tipped on their side. Eventually, I want to get the fancy wooden storage shelves. But, regardless of how I store them, I would like to organize them by color. Has anyone else done this? Did you just do it by eye, or does a list exist online that organizes them by color? It just seems like it would take forever to do it by eye. I will take any and all suggestions, thank you!!! :-)

I officially have a problem with buying markers, lol. I created a spreadsheet to track which markers I own/still need. I started with the Honolulu B 120 Set, then got both the pastel sets (Sweetness & Blossoming). Then I got the 48 Mid-tones set, then the 12 Portrait Set, the 104 Set, and the 36 Skin Tones Set. I also bought some single markers from The Marker Monster website, before I committed to getting the 104 set so now I have a total of 458 markers, and a little over 100 of those are duplicates. Oops! BUT, I think I'm going to take some of my overflow markers and make custom color palettes with them to give away as Christmas gifts with a cute coloring book. I know my niece and sister would love that as a gift so it's not a total loss. Plus, there are a few duplicates of colors I think I'll use often so also good to have a few extras. The 120 set was certainly a gateway to my obsession, lol!

What is everyone using for acrylic paint pens? Particulary to go over the black lines on your coloring pages? I have a set with a brush tip that are great, but don't have the level of control I'm looking for to outline things. I also have some with a fine bullet tip that you have to shake and press down to make the paint run into the tip. I think the tip is a little too fine for my needs. I've looked at the Sharpie Creative Markers, but not sure they'd have the required opacity. Any advice? Posca is another popular option, but wanted to get everyone's feedback first. Thanks in advance!
