Marker Sakura CRAYON red — alcohol-based marker, model SKGHY19

Sakura CRAYON red — alcohol-based marker, model SKGHY19 is an alcohol-based colouring marker supplied in a single vivid red shade. Engineered for illustration, sketching and graphic work, this marker delivers steady pigment flow and consistent coverage on marker-friendly paper. Its formula is suitable for layering and blending, enabling controlled transitions and detail work in concept sketches, illustrations and colour studies.

Advantages

The Sakura CRAYON red marker provides uniform colour laydown and good blending properties typical of alcohol-based inks. Its ink dries quickly to reduce smudging while allowing short working time for feathering and gradient effects. The marker is convenient for both fine detail and broader strokes depending on the nib used, and it maintains consistent performance for repeated use during a single session.

Suitable for

• Illustrations and character design
• Concept sketches and colour studies
• Graphic work and layout mock-ups
• Hobby and craft projects on compatible paper

Key specifications

• Ink type: alcohol-based
• Colour: red (single shade)
• Application: marker-friendly paper and illustration media
• Drying behavior: fast-drying with short blending window
• Suitable techniques: layering, blending, detail work

How to use

Work on marker-compatible paper to avoid excessive bleeding and to preserve colour behaviour. Begin with light strokes to establish base tones, then layer additional passes for deeper saturation and smoother gradients. Use a light touch when blending to maintain control over transitions; allow thin layers to dry briefly before applying subsequent layers to prevent over-saturation. For fine lines and details, use the marker tip at a shallow angle and for broader coverage use the side of the nib where applicable.

Usage recommendations

Store the marker horizontally when not in use to help maintain even ink distribution. Test the marker on a scrap piece of the same paper before working on a final piece to check colour intensity and blending behaviour. Work in a well-ventilated area when using alcohol-based markers.
