I actually use a bunch or random markers i find around the house (crayola, some hilighters, etc.), but i have done some research and found some options.

Caliart: An alcohol based marker. That means that you can layer them on lot of each other to make new colors. They are double sided: one side chisel tip and one side small tip. They are a bit streaky, and do bleed through paper that isn't thick enough. I have heard some people say that when you buy a pack, you sometimes get multiple markers of the same color, because they just throw them in randomly when you get large sets. I have used these before, and I liked them.

Ohuhu: Also an alcohol based marker, also has two sides. These markers are a bit bigger, and thus contain more ink, but i have heard that they tend to be a bit dry.

Copic: This is like the queen of all markers. They blend super well, are double sided, but they have a chisel tip and a brush tip, which is very useful, and they last a long time, and dont leave streaks in your art. The catch? Each individual marker costs 7-10  U.S. dollars. That means that if you wanted at least one of each basic color, (Red, yellow, orange, green, blue purple, black), it would cost $49-$70. And that's just for seven markers (crazy, right?)

Anyway, I hope this was helpful, and good luck on your marker quest!
