One of the standout packs by the brand is its 'Sketch Set' in Skin Tone colors, driven to be inclusive and deliver a stronger sense of diversity. The colors allow for a broader range of representation of different cultures around the world. Additional features of the markers include its replaceable nibs so that the transfer remains fresh, it also has a COPIC airbrush system for compatibility. The ink dries acid-free and smoothly glides across different mediums -- the markers can also seamlessly layer on top of one another and blend to new shades to find the right color for creative purposes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Diversity-centric Sketch Materials:** Opportunity to create more inclusive art and design by offering refillable and diverse skin-tonal markers that boost longevity. - **Replaceable Nib System:** Innovation opportunity for art tools with replaceable nibs to keep transfer fresh and minimize waste. - **Seamless Layering and Blending Markers:** Opportunity to develop seamless layering and blending markers to create new colors for a user's creative purpose. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Arts and Crafts Supplies:** Innovative refillable and diverse skin-tonal markers can open market opportunities for emerging art materials in a broader and more inclusive market. - **Graphic Design and Advertising:** Opportunity for customizable design and strategic color representation in media portraits, brand logos, advertising materials, and social campaigns - **Education and Academic Arts:** Developing innovative refillable and diverse skin-tonal markers can strengthen inclusivity and representation and motivate creativity by teaching values like fairness and impartiality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Ink Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorpik-pen.md) - [Waterproof Acrylic Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-acrylic-pens.md) - [Metallic Ink Marker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krink-1.md) - [Pattern-Drawing Dual-Tip Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-curve-pens.md) - [Multipurpose Beauty Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-color-crayon.md) - [Comic Book Coloring Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-by-me-manga-artist-set.md) - [Industrial Kobalt Ink Markers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-3.md) - [Lightly Textured Lip Tints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-darling-marker-tint.md) - [Graffiti-Inspired Marker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffitiinspired-marker-set.md)
