I see some influencers bragging about why you'd need quality markers like posca to improve your drawing skills. My bros fell for it and beg me to buy some for them.

It's like thoses ads telling you you need product to do thing better. Even if it's quality, it doesn't work this way.

I bought a $25 set of 8 for them. They used it 2 times then stopped because they couldn't make what they wanted. They are now asking for a light tablet to "draw better". They will have to buy it themselves if they really want it. I was fine with the window light when i was their age.

People somehow always find a way to make the simplest thing expensive with half-useless material.
