Some tussupiirtäjät focus on fine art, producing standalone drawings that are exhibited in galleries. Others may use markers in the realm of graphic design, urban sketching, or even fashion illustration. The accessibility and versatility of markers make them a popular choice for artists at different stages of their careers. The term highlights the specific material choice of the artist, emphasizing their dedication to the medium of felt-tip pens.
