OhuhuAlcohol Markers Extra Wide Broad Tip - Refillable Ink- 6 Colors of Halcyon Oasis - 1-19mm Nib Calligraphy Markers for Background Poster Design Renderings Large Areas Coloring Molokai

Great alternative to copic markers and they work so well!

These are nice colors and the wideness makes it so much easier to color large background spaces.

Excellent ink capacity and they are refillable.

Great coverage and flow, I really like these markers. My only complaint is minor: it can be very hard to pull the caps off and it would be good if there was a color indicator on the end of the pen

Love these markers. They’re a great value.

I am always up for trying out new art products, so when I got the chance to test these extra-wide Ohuhu alcohol markers, I jumped at the opportunity. I had no idea how nice these markers would be! Before I even get to their performance, let me talk about the box they come in, which closes with a magnet—great for storage. When using the markers, you can flip the box over and bend the lid backward to form a triangle that works as a little stand (similar to many iPad covers), making it easy to reach for the markers. I LOVE thoughtful design! The markers themselves are fantastic, and I particularly like the chiseled tip, which allows the user to make many different kinds of marks, from smooth-and-broad to textured-edge to medium-width to fine-point, just by shifting the edge or flipping the marker over (see the photo of my doodling where I played around with the various kinds of marks—I cannot wait to practice and gain expertise). I also love the way the inks blend and layer. If I could give these markers a rating higher than five stars, I would—they are that good! In fact, I'm so impressed that I am going to order the other color sets, PLUS I am going to get a set of Ohuhu markers with brush tips (i.e. I may have gotten this first set for free, but I am gong to shell out my own $$ for more products from this company.) Color me —pun intended—a big fan of these Ohuhu markers! (Where have they been all my life?)

I love the entire line Ohuhu has to offer when it comes to all of their markers, pens, paper, etc. They are an exceptional brand that is inexpensive and great quality. Ever since diving into the world of Ohuhu, I have purchased several of their alcohol marker sets, as well as their paper, watercolor paper, watercolor paint set, brushes, and several sketchbooks. These markers were another addition to my growing collection. I was super excited to receive them.These are definitely not your typical marker or pen shape. The flat head design makes it easy to cover a larger area without compromising the marker, and the other side gives you smaller, more detailed lines.The colors are great, and the ink dries quickly, so you're able to go over it with a gel pen or add in other details much faster. There are 4 sets of colors to choose from, but I can't choose just one, so I'll definitely be coming back for the other 3.Overall, these are great markers for a great price that last a long time and provide excellent coverage for larger areas, or you can create smaller, more detailed lines.

Updated Review:Okay, I think I spoke too soon. These are really starting to grow on me. I can get a variety of fun textures with them, and they work really well for loose, sketchy drawings. I’ve needed help loosening up, and these do the trick! I am the type to admit when I’m wrong, and I think I was wrong about these before! I’m going to have to order the rest of the sets now.Previous Review:Let me start by saying I normally LOVE Ohuhu products. I’ve spent a LOT of money on their alcohol markers, fineliners, and sketchbooks through the years. They’re my favorite budget art supply brand by far. However, these aren’t that great. I have a very hard time getting a smooth lay down of color. When you put the nib flat and draw straight across, it often drags across the paper and causes “skips”, where the mark is significantly darker. You can see this in the pictures I uploaded, especially in the swatch card and the oval stickers used to label the lids. Those dark streaks are where the marker caught on the paper and got stuck briefly, causing more ink to lay down there. It doesn’t happen as much on very smooth paper, but if there’s any texture at all, they snag pretty often.The image I uploaded with just blue shows how hard it is to get a flat wash without building up a lot of color. The top left was making individual strokes from left to right across the page. You’ll notice the second and third stroke from the top are cut off at the bottom, because I struggled to keep the nib perfectly flat on the paper, and I was actively trying to do so. The bottom area was a rapid scribble, which looked quite streaky and somehow ended up squirting ink out that ran down the page? No idea how that happened. The area on the right was a slow, steady, circular motion, which was the flattest color I was able to achieve, but still wasn’t perfect. The darker colors lay down a bit smoother. I’ve noticed it gets smoother as you build a lot of layers, but the trouble is that it makes the color much darker than you expect. If these came in much, much lighter shades, I feel they’d be more useful. The light blue I used looks like a wonderful sky color with one layer, but it’s impossible to cover a large area with one layer because it’s so streaky unless you use several layers, which darkens the color too much.That said, I DO like these. I don’t love them, but I like them. They are fun to scribble with and make cool textures, but I’m not impressed with them for making large, flat areas of color, which was the entire selling point. I will probably just use these to make rapid, scribbly “fun” drawings until they run out, but I likely won’t buy them again unless I’m able to experiment more with them and figure out a better technique. Maybe if the nib was a little wider it would help, but I suppose that would make it tougher to draw with them in addition to just covering large areas.
