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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
