Tombow 56169 Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, Landscape, 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.

Nice set and beautiful colors

It got the job done.

I stumbled onto Tombow brush pens while looking through Amazon's coupons, and I thought I'd give them a shot. These are a super cool super fun, and super blendable medium! The colors are so pretty and well pigmented, and you can easily produce a variety of colors with different blending techniques. Here's a quick list of other things I like about these watercolor markers: -There is absolutely no odor -I've noticed very little to no bleeding, but I'm guessing that varies based on the paper you use, since this is a wet medium -They dry quickly and I've had no problem with smudging -They're durable and so far I've had no fraying -They fine tip nib is a good size -The ink inside is pressurized, so you can store them upright or sideways with no worries about the ink collecting more in one end then the other -I am terrible with watercolor paints and colored pencils, but these are much easier for me and dry much, much quicker, which is good for my needs! -The cost is significantly lower here than from art retailers or Tombow. Normally the ten packs are around $40 These markers are super fun, and I'm always learning about new techniques! In my experience, these work better on thicker paper, and I think a lot of people recommend watercolor paper. Regular paper tends to peel up a bit if you go over it too much, but if you just want to try these out and you don't have watercolor paper, they still do blend on sketchbook paper! I might upload some pictures after I pick up watercolor paper to compare the difference, but all in all this is a great purchase! Update- Watercolor paper definitely makes a big difference! The colors blend better, the paper holds up better, and you can create a lot of nice watercolor effects, like the background for the octopus. I got some of the colors by blending on another surface and then picking it up with a marker, but the colors you see were made only using the markers in the pack. For reference, I made the frog on a blank index card, which was much harder. It didn't blend as well and the paper peeled up a lot. I really, really love these markers! I hope this helps!

These markers were okay, maybe it's the fact that they're water-based that I don't care for them that much. I bought them to add quick gray-tones to my sketches, but they pill up the paper very quick in my sketchbook. I thought maybe it was the paper, so I also tried a marker sketchbook. They don't pill as much with marker paper, but then they don't absorb quickly either, which can lead to even more streaky lines. I didn't expect them to work as well as my alcohol markers in the first place, but they are just slightly disappointing. As long as you follow the explanation in the packaging they come with, they actually are blendable despite being water-based, which I was surprised. The pilling effect sort of deters me from doing this, however. I didn't intend to use them for that anyway, so it's not that big of a deal to me. I do like the lighter colors, as they don't seem as overpowering as the dark. I also like the fine tipped side, which I didn't expect to use much. Over all, they're fine if it's not serious art. They're not my favorite, but I will use them if I'm just doing something quick.

These pens are perfect for my storyboards.

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。

Esse é meu terceiro kit de brush pen da Tombow. As cores são de tons de outono.

Anche se ci è voluto un po’ di tempo - ma non è stata una sorpresa, mi avevano avvertito - alla fine questi meravigliosi pennarelli sono arrivati. Confezione perfetta e subito la voglia di comperarli tutti. Li userò per creare delle illustrazioni calde come facevo tanto tempo fa.

C'est le deuxième lot de Duals Brush Tombow que je me prendre, les lots ne sont pas donner niveau prix, mais la qualité est vraiment là ! ils sont très agréable à utiliser et j'ai déjà envie d'en reprendre !!!

I love Tombows. This set has beautiful colours.
