Ohuhu 72 Colour Art Markers Set, Dual Tip, Brush & Chisel Sketch Marker for Artist, Students, Brush Markers for Sketching, Adult Coloring, Calligraphy, Drawing and Illustration Markers

Really great set of markers, amazing value for money. I'm a traditional artist and work with markers a lot so I've tried a lot of different brands - in terms of quality these are honestly second only to Copics and considering most sets (including this one) are <£1 a marker that cost point has absolutely made them my favourite. They work well for layering and blending, and cooperate with other marker formulas (see picture - 90% Ohuhu markers with one copic marker used as a base). The caps are labelled with a large, easy to read code and a supplementary colour name, which makes them easy to identify from a distance. The carry case can be stored in any orientation and has reinforcement that keeps the shape of the edges even when empty. There's also three pockets in the side that hold swatch cards & plastic mats, which is useful! The case is split into 4 sections which is super helpful for organising & making it easier to find the colour you're looking for, and has a little extra room for additional markers - though not a full supplement set (36-48 markers), alas.I've used them on a couple of illustrations already and the colours are incredibly vibrant, very easy to blend (which is something I've previously struggled a lot with) and dry with a good texture across all colours (this can sometimes be a problem with dark markers, but I have not noticed this at all!). As such I'd really recommend either this pack or a smaller starter set to anyone looking to try out alcohol markers - I've never seen markers this cheap that are this good and easy to work with before.The only recommendation I have for potential buyers is to consider the 168 marker set which includes the 48 pastel Ohuhu set. The colour range in this set is great, but definitely favours mid-to-dark tones. Images attached show the colour swatches and a colour spectrum I made using the 120 set + 36 skin tone set, for reference. I purchased the 36 skin tone pack at the same time which has some overlap with the 120 marker set, but contains a lot of unique tones & the overlapping colours are ones that you will likely use a lot.I would also caution the use of the plastic mats - this is a universal flaw of non-absorbent "catching" sheets in general and not specific to this product: when you use a non-absorbent mat you run the risk of additional pen-bleed, and also colour pick-up from the mat itself. Ink on a plastic mat will remain solvent in alcohol and so can be picked up by a wet page above it and into the paper itself - especially with a light marker on a dark stain. I'd recommend using the plastic mat under a layer of paper if you use it at all!

Love these pens, they’ve been used daily since they arrived. First time ever using alcohol pens (I’m not artist, but I’ve been into colouring lately as a new hobby) I love the way these pens blend and I the variety of colours you get, for those gradients in shades that I was after to make blended skies (for example)I have found that most paper in colouring books don’t contain the ink within the lines, the ink spreads and frays. It’s a learning process to control them properly, but it will come in time I suppose, picking up tricks along the way. They do bleed through paper too, so the little plastic sheet is perfect to prevent bleeds. I have attached some of the pages I have done recently (you can see where the pens have expanded over the lines in the photos. I also attached a photo of how well they blend as a test run)

Firstly, the color that comes from these markers is amazing. The markers deliver a bold, saturated hue that looks amazing on any type of paper. The ink flows smoothly and blends easily allowing for easy shading and blending.The markers come in a bag that holds them, along with a test sheet for you to swatch the color before diving in to your artwork, and a page protector which aids you when using thinner pieces of paper. The attention to what artists may need is amazing.If I was to say anything about these markers, it would be that they are a must have. With their exceptional color quality and variety, leak proof design, size, page protector and tester sheet, they are a must have for professional and beginner artists.

Love these. Very expensive but worth it.bought these to replace my spectrum noir pens.This set has 320 colours so you are spoilt for choice. On the top and bottom of each pen is a number with a colour name.but even with this information some people might find it difficult to find the exact colour they need because there is no way to keep the pens in place.they are supplied in a large bag with six pockets so the pens do move around. Not a problem for me but some might find this annoying.Oh yes they bleed. I coloured in a stamped image on card and the back was almost the same as the front. Again, not bothered because I usually then affix the image to a card blank.Coverage is fine,they are ergonomic to hold quick drying. Would I recommend? It rather depends what you want. A huge array of colours that are quick drying and give very good coverage then yes.I think it would be good to point out a few inconsistencies. Firstly some of the labels are in white and some in black,, the font and font size varies and some of the colours bear no relation to what is written on the label. Eg brown grey is (in my set at least) pink.
