Amazon Basics Dual Tip Brush Pens - Blendable, Nylon Brush and Fine Tip, 24-Pack, Assorted

I have been practicing my hand lettering a lot lately and have been on a search for the greatest brush pens. Stabillo 68 brush pens and marvy color-in are some of my faves.Tombow has never been that great for me. You have to really focus to get line variation and they are over $2 a pen. I haven't heard much about these Amazon Basic markers, I was hesitant to buy them because there are just so many bad 'brush markers' on Amazon, but the price is so good on these, I figured I'd give em a shot. They look just like Tombows and average about 66 cents each. Dirt cheap for brush markers!My expectations were low. Dont get me wrong, practice is the only thing that will make your lettering great, but a good pen makes the process easier and more enjoyable.I am AMAZED at how good these markers are! You can get nice fat down strokes, and razor thin upstrokes with minimal effort. They are actually easier to use than Tombow, especially for a beginner imo. I'm just really impressed with these! For as cheap as they are is doesn't even matter if they don't last years, but they will definitely last long enough to get your moneys worth! They bounce back a little better than tombow and are a little more flexible. I love them! The colors are unique and beautiful. I had to leave this review,even before I finished swatching all the colors in my set of 24( wishing I would have gotten the larger set) . Buy them before they raise the price, these are amazing! And the price makes them even more better! You're welcome :)

I am being real here amazon. There is a hand lettering trend taking crafters by storm and with this nylon nib pen, blendable colors and some pretty nice color varieties and fairly rich color (not as pigmented as stabilo-but what is) this is a product I will save up to buy all 50+. I hand letter as a business so I need something that won't eat in to my profits, my main pen is fibralo. As in the pictures I can achieve my flourishes without missing a beat. Also my main method of lettering does involve flourishes so the amazing thin up strokes is essential. TWO DOWNSIDES: 1. there is some lag in bounce back after pressure is applied to the tip. 2 Amazon should sell the big pack with a blender kit.The 52 pack has the same consistency as the 12 pack of brush pens. As you can see by the attached picture there are alot of greens, very few blues. But what is a plus is that the sheer colors blend with the more opaque colors. I have used these for hand lettering on 7projects and there is plenty of color left. Important: I would use smooth printer paper, not smooth water color paper, they will fray on watercolor paper.

Just got these, I like them, it's a good price for the variety of colors you get and the ink is not streaky. I also found some colors have better pigmentation than their Tombow counterparts. Out of 52 pens only 1 came out dry, which I found strange since it was closed well and not broken; it was a dark red so I was kinda sad it was wasted. The pen stand is hard to set up, I had to use a hammer and it still didn't snap in completely. The reason I don't consider this a Tombow Slayer is because of the brush nib, it is incredibly stiff, it has no bend to it. This is because the brush nib seems to be 25% thinner and shorter than the Tombow pens. I had to tip the pen to almost a 90 degree angle to make a thicker line. The point is extremely thin and allows for thinner lines that the Tombows can't make, but because of the shorter and smaller brush don't expect to make lines thicker than a 1/4 inch, and even that's a stretch.

I ordered these not expecting much. I figured they might be good for adding color to initial sketches of designs (I do hand lettering) and would work for figuring out basic color schemes when I’m showing people options before moving on to the final design. I wanted something cheaper to use instead so my tombows last longer. I really didn’t expect much at all for the price… but these are amazingly good! They get thicker downstrokes and thinner upstrokes than the tombows with minimal effort. They blend well with each other, but I couldn’t get them to play well with Tombow’s colorless blender…. That was kinda sad because these don’t come with one, but seriously, for the price, who cares! The brush tips seem pretty durable so far. I have no idea how long they’ll last. But if I don’t come back and update this review, assume they last a decent amount of time. I’ll probably buy these again. I’ll also still buy tombows. This is just another awesome option. Totally worth it!

I was lucky enough to get unbelievable deal on these. No clue I just really bought $30 markers! They're so phenomenal, I'm glad bought on deal bc even at regular price, I know they are worth every penny! Long lasting, colors brilliant, super cool plastic stand to fit each marker in; I was able to give nephew (6yrs) ALL other dual tip markers (3 diff brands!) These are ONLY markers that I've ever done that! I use to color w/! If I COULD draw, I can't imagine how fabulous an artist would love these! Don't miss the best! WHO knew?!

Did not like these compared to other brands

Ive loved tombows for years and have been on a hunt for a more affordable alternative. The most positively reccommended ones were the Arteza twimarkers which were great the first couple times I used them and then the nibs completely frayed and now only the fine ends are usable. I was skeptical when ordering these but THEY ARE FANTASTIC! the nibs are very flexible but also sturdy almost feeling similar to copic rubbery nibs but with a very fine point!The stand they come with could be better, these markers should be stored horizontally not standing but the stand is too short to support them horizontally so i keep a jar on it to weigh the end down.

We have purchased many… MANY… art pens, paints, tools, ect for my daughter who is a never ending artist and creator. These paint pens are by far her favorite thing! She can draw with them, paint, use for fine detail… I purchased two sets and will purchase more! Don’t hesitate. They are not messy and are perfect for all kinds of projects.
