56171 Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, Grayscale, 10-Pack. Blendable, Brush and Fine Tip Markers

Tombow makes great duel tipped markers, and have done so for years. This bright set of 10 markers should be no different. Their markers (though now they call them pens) are versatile, come in a number of colors and sets, and the ink lasts a long long time, which is what makes Tombow such a popular choice for markers in general - and when they combine a brush tip pen with a regular tipped pen - you end up with two great markers in one. This set comes with two different pinks. one yellow, one orange two light greens, a greenish blue, a turquoise blue and a light and dark purple. Each marker does come with two caps - the large color cap you see in the photo fits the brush end of the marker, and a regular type cap covers the regular end. The caps stack one on top (or over) the other when using the marker. The ink used is also water based, and also acid free, which is important if you want to help preserve what you are doing with the marker. The inks are bendable as well, These markers take a long time to dry out if you accidentally lose the cap for the marker, which is why I purchased this set. While I only wanted to replace the single marker I had lost the cap on because I had not stacked the cap while I was using it, it was almost the same cost to purchase this set of 10 markers, one of which is very similar in color to the marker I had wanted to replace than it was to purchase the single marker of the same color. For reference, I lost the marker cap 8 weeks ago, and has sat uncapped since then. It was not new either, and only now is the marker really starting to write like a dried out marker. This is definitely a 5 star marker because you will get your money's worth with these markers if you are relatively careful with them. I took two stars off in the rating for being a good marker set for beginners, and in this regard, I am considering beginners as children mostly, but adults too that either may be hard on markers or slightly more likely to lose caps, only because there are similar dual tipped markers out there that do the same essentially the same thing but are cheaper to purchase (unless Tombow markers are on sale). They will likely have less ink, and less color choices, and not quite as good a pen tip, but they are still perfectly good as markers.

This is a very nice set, the colors are beautiful and vibrant. I use it every day in my journal. The paper has to be a little ticker than regular paper because the ink bleeds to the other side of the page. My journal has thick paper so is not an issue for me.

I like these pens and use them regularly. They perform well and do what I need - value sketches, add tones to my urban art and all around useful.

These are my favorite pens for my fine artwork. Great quality.

I bought this set because none of my other dye based markers have a range of skin tones and thought this would be a good starter set for me as I haven't used this brand before but heard great things about it. I really love the quality of these markers. The brush nib is a dream to work with, it lays down color with a full even coverage using brush to paper without any water. There are two browns, a black and caramel color for blending color hair. The flesh tone color is very beautiful as is the blush color. The set also come with a colorless blender which was a bonus. There is a yellow color in the set, which doesn't seem to be a true skin tone but if you layer it with the peach color, it does give realistic skin tones, especially if you lay down the color with water. From the photo, it looks like the yellow was used to create shadows underneath the woman's neck which looks warm and natural in the photo. If you look at the image in the photo on the packaging, I think it gives an unrealistic example of what these markers can do, but for all I know that image was made using these markers by a highly trained and skillful artist. To me it looks airbrushed but don't know for sure. The one thing you need to know is that the colors are highly pigmented so the skin tone colors are too dark to look natural for skin tones. They are more subtle using the blender pen, but look the best when used with water. After I did a test with water I was really happy with the results and the colors do resemble the colors in the photo. I think it would be fun to use these with colored pencils and other media. There is also a "flesh" color from the Zig Real Color Brush Tip Marker line that you can buy individually to add to this set, I think the two brands would work together as they are both dye based markers. I have tried both and think the Tombow is a better quality marker. I found with the Zig that the color does not disperse as well no matter how you use it (with colorless blender, with water, or direct marker to paper.)

These are hands down my go-to planner pens. I love the dual-ended design.....one side for bold color and the other for finer details, which makes everything look so put together. The colors blend beautifully, and the biggest win? No bleed-through on my planner pages 🙌 Perfect for adding color without ruining the next page!

Love these pens! The dual tip is my fav. Never had any problems with dryness, bleeding or smearing. Amazing color variety

With many different types of brush pens available, it can be difficult to figure out which ones to buy when thinking of their quality and value. The ‘Tombow Dual Brush Pens’ can be used in a variety of ways and are durable making them are worth buying. Due to the recent popularity of calligraphy, many customers buy these pens. The flexible tip on the brush side of the pens is good for practicing both basic calligraphy and for watercolor-like coloring. These pens are also easy to be mixed and make new colors. The other side of these pens is much thinner and can be used for regular writing. You can also use the thinner side with your calligraphy by bordering letters and make your calligraphy more unique proving that these pens have a variety of uses. In addition to the versatility of the pens, the Tombow Pens are very durable. I have had these pens for seven months and use them quite often. Many other pens and markers that I have used dry out in this amount of time, and don’t have as much vibrancy as when I first started using them. However, these markers still retain a lot of their color even after their frequent usage. My experience isn’t uncommon as many of my friends have owned these markers for a year and still use them weekly due to their durability. Even with many positive attributes, one point often complained about is people finding it difficult to quickly learn calligraphy with these pens. The truth is that it takes a lot of time to master the art. It is necessary to practice all the letters and get used to writing in this new way before blaming everything on the pens. It is recommended for beginners to use tutorials to learn more about the pens, and not expect to be perfect on your first try. I recommend these pens for people who are looking for thin and precise markers as well as thicker brush pens. This pack of ten pens produces beautiful and effective results due to them having many different uses and them lasting a very long time.

まだ開封はしていませんが パッケージの表面が細かい擦れ傷だらけと 四隅の一部が割れていました。 神経質な方だと嫌かもしれません。
