Sharpie Portrait 12 Markers

I have some very exciting news today! Sharpie has come out with Portrait Colors markers in 2022. Ohuhu came out with a portrait set this year and Crayola came out with Colors of the World a few years ago. The Sharpie Portrait colors set contains 12 shades of markers to represent various skin tones. Many Sharpie fans have been waiting for years for skin tone markers. These will help artists be able to represent skin tone colors in their drawing so much easier. These colors also make Sharpie better able to compete with Ohuhu lines and Copic lines of markers. Now if all their markers were made in brush.

This box of Sharpies was sent as a sample from Sharpie. This blog post contains affiliate links.


Here are the colors of the Portrait color Sharpies: Americano, Marzipan, Classic Brown, Butterscotch, Salted Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon Latte, Creme Brulee, Toasted Gingerbread, Peanut Brittle, Black Forest Gateau and Dulce De Leche. This is the order the colors come in the packaging. Make sure to label them before taking them out! This makes the total color count of Sharpie markers 87 now!




I decided to color a Manga page because now I could color skin tones! And yes I know some the colors are outside the lines, need to practice more. I used the Portrait markers and the brush markers.


Here are all the colors arranged in color order from light to dark.



Here is the back of the Portrait color box.

Sharpie 36 S-Note Creative Marker

Earlier this year 2021 I wrote a post about the 24 S-Note Markers from Sharpie. At that time I knew there were 12 new colors coming, but it was not out yet. It is finally out and I am so happy that I got my hands on a box. I found mine on Amazon. They may be available other places later. What is so special about these new colors? The new colors are a lot lighter than the previous colors. That was one of the biggest criticism I saw of the other set of markers. Now there is a super broad palette of markers.

65 Sharpie Markers The Ultimate Collection Swatches and Review

As you may know I am somewhat of a Sharpie Nerd. Last year I made it my mission to find out every Sharpie color out there. Since then I have identified 76 unique colors including the neon, metallic and core colors. The neon and metallic Sharpies are made with different ink types. This year I attended Creativation and I was SUPER excited to meet with Newell brands, ie they are the company that makes Sharpie, Prismacolor, Elmer's, Paper Mate products etc. At Creativation I learned that Sharpie would be releasing a 65 count Fine Line Marker with all the Core Colors, i.e. the ones that have the alcohol as an ink base.

Alcohol based markers can be used in so many ways! The colors can be blended by touching the tips and blending on the paper. They can also be used to make gradients. Now with all the colors this box of Sharpies will be so versatile for so many artists.

This blog post contains affiliate links and was sent in exchange for an honest review.

And I am so lucky that I finally got my hands on this box. As soon as I got this box I put away every marker from my makeshift Ultimate Collection box back where they belonged and am now displaying this one.

Here are all the colors in the box.

Color Information 

Boxes: Sharpie Ultimate Collection 65 Core Colors
What's inside the box: 

  • The colors for the Sharpie 65 Ultimate Collection box with all the core colors are:  valley girl violet, ultra violet, boysenberry, magenta, power pink, electric pink, berry, rocket fuel red, jellie pink, pink, jupiter red, solar flare red, red, racey red, pink lemonade, peach, orion orange, optic orange, leg warmer orange, tangerine, banana clip yellow, yellow, almond, supersonic yellow, martian green, venus green, lime, galaxy green, green, mint, argyle green, aqua, jetset jade, nano blue, turquoise, blue ice, neon blue, brilliant blue, surf, techno blue, blue, navy, sky, intergalactic indigo, purple, lilac, brown, black, dark matter gray, slate gray, celestial gray, purple fluorite, tanzanite, peacock blue, teal tiger's eye, jasper green, amber, cabochon coral, rose quartz, citrine, aquamarine, geode, violet chalcedony, light blue topaz, and lavender mica.

What Did I Think?

This box is truly amazing! The packaging is not quite as nice at the other Ultimate Collection boxes, but the price point is right on. It is going for around $51 on Blick Art Supplies. I guess if they did the same box as the other Ultimate Collection boxes the colors would not be able to be displayed the same. I am so excited to display the colors like this and am going to keep it in this color order because it is so pretty. 

The one thing I did wish they had done is put the names of the colors on the markers. I feel like this would take the Sharpies to a whole new level. The people using Fine Tip Sharpies and wanting every color will probably be artists. And artists like to know the name of the color of the marker. I hope this box sells really well, that Sharpie comes out with more and more marker colors especially brown tones. I would love to see a skin tone set at some point. This is my favorite box of Sharpie Markers to date. I also hope they come out with a Ultra Fine Ultimate Collection box also.

This box is also a great deal for getting all the Sharpies. Before this multiple sets would have to be acquired costing over $130 depending on which sets were bought. (I spent more than that.) There would be duplicate markers from some of the sets from having to buy so many different sets. And it was hard to store them all in one place. This set is great because it offers all the colors in one place. 

Collecting Information

This is the first time that Sharpie has EVER released every single marker in one set. It is definitely collectible.

How to Get Every Sharpie Marker Color

Do want to get every Sharpie marker color out there? I have been searching for months for just that.  I have complied this list complete list of Sharpie marker colors and what box they all come in. What did I learn? The color surf and sky blue are extremely rare. I also learned after all my searching that Sharpie needs to release a box with all of their colors in it with the names on the markers. It is so painful, expensive and frustrating having to look for each color. But I have done it and hopefully it will help make it less painful for you.

Check out this post to see all the hex colors and what each box colors look like.

This blog post contains affiliate links.

The best way to get every color would be to pick up the 115 Ultimate Collection, Metallic pack, Mystic Gems 24, Color Burst 24 and Cosmic Color 24. There are some specialty packs that contain some rare colors, but these are only available for a short time and not consistent. If one of those is picked up use this chart to see what is still needed.

The chart along with a swatch chart can be downloaded here.

This is the swatch chart that comes with this list. Once this is filled out you will have every Sharpie color out there!  I decided not to pick up the sky blue color because I have a stinking suspicion it is the same as sky. But I could be wrong. 

Good luck finding them all!

Sharpie 24 S-Note Creative Marker

If you have followed me at all you know that I love Sharpie markers. Sharpie has been making their markers for a number of years and have branched out from the alcohol marker line over the years. This branch off is the Sharpie S-Note Creative Marker. What does it compare to? It can be compared to Zebra Mildliner and Crayola Super Tips.

I heard about these at Creativation/Art Marterials World this year and had to pick them up! They are so pretty. I also have the Mildliners and did the swatch charts at the same time. If I was going to get one I would get the Mildliners because I felt the ink came out a little easier, aka not as dry as the S-Note, but these colors are super pretty.

Click here to find the markers on Blick.   The paper I used is Hahnemuhle Nostalgie white paper and DCWV cardstock. Click here to find the paper I used on Blick.

Another advantage to the Mildliners over the Sharpie S-Notes are the Mildliners have the color names on them. There are names for the S-Notes. I found them by going on Sharpie.com and clicking on all the S-Note colors. I was able to match up all the names and now there is a chart here for reference. The Mildliner has two tips, the Sharpie S-Note has one, but honestly this was not a deal breaker for me because both are chisel tip and it is super easy to write thin lines by turning the marker point. The Mildliners also have one more color.

The colors for the Sharpie S-Note creative markers are: gray, light gray, plum, raspberry, orchid, brick red, guava, papaya, cinnamon, mango, honey, salted caramel, lemonade, olive, pear, limeade, sea green, jade, surf's up, scuba blue, perwinkle, indigo, lavender, and grape.
