The everyday set you will reach for first. Arrtx 30B Acrylic Paint Markers give you 30 bold, opaque acrylic colours, lemon yellow, orange, red, brown and friends, plus metallic gold and silver, all with a soft nylon brush tip that does 1mm lines and 6mm strokes from the same pen.
Like every Arrtx brush tip marker, there is no shaking and no pumping. Take the cap off and the paint is there. That makes the 30B a brilliant first set for illustration, rock painting, lettering, card making and colouring, and a fast grab and go set when ideas strike.
Why the Arrtx 30B Set Is So Easy to Love
Bright colours only stay bright if they are opaque, and acrylic paint is as opaque as markers get. The 30B covers on white paper, black card, wood, stone, glass and plastic, and because it dries permanent you can layer over the top without dragging the colour underneath.
The brush tip makes it more than a colouring marker. Light pressure gives you thin, tapered lines for faces, hair and lettering, more pressure gives you broad, smooth strokes for fills, skies and backgrounds. It is painting without the clean up.
Built for Anime, Comics, Fan Art and Con Season
Bold primaries and clean brights are the language of anime, manga covers, comics and cartoon art, and this is the set that speaks it. Use it for bright anime hair and eyes, flat cel shaded character colour, speech bubble pops, action lines over finished colour and sketch covers. At an artist alley table it is quick enough for live commissions, with gold and silver ready for that last bit of shine.
The 30B shares only black and white with the Arrtx 30A Soft & Muted set, so the two together give you 58 different colours.
How to Use Your Arrtx Acrylic Markers
- Uncap and go. No shaking, no pumping and no pressing the nib down to prime it. The ink is ready the moment the cap comes off.
- Swatch first. Colours can look a little different on different surfaces, so make a quick swatch card on the paper or surface you are using. When you first open the box, stick the colour card stickers on in order so every pen goes back in the right spot.
- Tip for lines, belly for fills. Touch just the point of the brush for fine lines and lettering. Lay the side of the brush down and drag for broad strokes and flat colour.
- Let it dry, then layer. The water based acrylic ink dries fast. Once it is dry to the touch you can go straight over it, light over dark, without the colours turning to mud.
- Seal anything that gets handled. Paper and canvas are fine as they are. Shoes, phone cases, props and gifts last longer under a clear varnish.
- Cap it, store it flat. Click the cap on firmly and store the markers lying down so the ink stays evenly spread.

The 30 Colours in the Arrtx 30B Set
Arrtx numbers its colours rather than naming them, so each swatch shows its Arrtx colour number. Swatches are an approximate colour reference, screen calibration may vary, and colours can look slightly different on different surfaces.

Tips for Your Arrtx 30B Set
Work light to dark on white paper, and dark to light on black card. Either way, let each layer dry before the next one goes on, and the colours stay clean.
For painted rocks and gifts, finish with a clear varnish so the colour survives handling and weather. On paper and canvas, the dry ink is permanent on its own.

Questions About the Arrtx 30B Set
Are Arrtx 30B markers good for anime and manga art?
Yes. The 30B is built for bright, clean colour, which is exactly what anime hair, eyes, uniforms and magical effects need. Lay a flat base colour, let it dry, then add a darker shadow shape on top for crisp cel shading, and finish with black outlines and a white eye highlight. Gold and silver are there for jewellery, armour and sparkle.
Does the Arrtx 30B set include metallic colours?
Yes. Alongside the everyday brights, the 30B includes metallic gold and silver. If you want a whole set of metallics, look at the Arrtx 30F Metallic, which has 30 shimmering shades.
How fine a line can the Arrtx brush tip draw?
Arrtx rates the soft nylon brush tip at roughly 1mm to 6mm. Use just the point for lines, lettering and hair strands, and lay the brush on its side for broad fills. It is a brush, not a needle, so for hair fine detail or tiny text pair it with a fine liner or an extra fine paint marker such as the Kent Urban 1mm Super Fine.
Are Arrtx acrylic markers waterproof?
Once dry, Arrtx acrylic ink is water resistant and permanent on most surfaces. Give it a few minutes to dry fully before you touch it or go over it. For anything that will be washed, handled a lot or left outdoors, add a clear varnish over the top for extra protection.
Are Arrtx acrylic markers good for beginners?
Yes. There is nothing to set up, the brush tip is forgiving, and mistakes can be painted over once dry because the colour is opaque. A 30 colour set is the friendliest way to start, and you can add another 30 set later to grow your palette without doubling up.
Can you use Arrtx acrylic markers on fabric and shoes?
Arrtx lists fabric as a suitable surface, and plenty of people use these markers on canvas shoes, tote bags and jackets. Arrtx does not publish heat setting or wash instructions, so test on a hidden spot first, treat it as decorative rather than heavy wash wear, and seal painted shoes with a fabric or shoe safe sealer.
How are Arrtx markers different from Posca?
The big difference is the tip and the start up. Arrtx acrylic markers have a soft brush tip and need no shaking or pumping, so they feel closer to painting with a brush. Posca pens use firm valve tips that you shake and prime, which give crisp, even lines and a huge choice of tip sizes. Lots of illustrators use both: Arrtx for colour and strokes, a fine Posca for linework.
How should I store Arrtx acrylic markers?
Lying flat, with the caps clicked on firmly. Flat storage keeps the ink evenly spread through the brush, and a tight cap stops the tip drying out. The box they come in is the perfect home, and the colour card stickers help you put every pen back in order.
What if my Arrtx marker dries out or the colour looks patchy?
It usually means the cap was not fully closed, or the pen has sat unused for a long time and the pigment has settled in the tip. Arrtx's fix: click the cap on firmly, stand the marker tip down for 24 hours, then draw the ink through on scrap paper until the colour runs true. If it still will not flow, gently pull the brush nib out, turn it around and use the other end. To prevent it, always cap until you hear the click and store the markers tip down or lying flat. If the colour fades mid stroke when you fill big areas fast, give the tip a moment to recharge, as the ink feeds from a fibre core.
How do I remove Arrtx acrylic marker stains?
Arrtx suggests three methods. Try the gentlest first and test on a hidden spot: a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol, a cloth dampened with white vinegar, or a little toothpaste scrubbed gently with a toothbrush. Wet ink lifts far more easily than dry, so tackle spills straight away.
