Shuttle Art Dual Brush Marker Pens, 56 Colors Water-based Ink, Dual Tip Calligraphy Pens Fineliner and Brush Tip perfect for Kids Adult Artist, Hand Lettering, Journal, Doodling, Writing

I’m very impressed by the quality of these pens. The brush tip has the perfect amount of flexibility. I love the assortment of colors & none of them came dried out or unusable. As you can see, they only bleed through when layered (but my paper quality isn’t the best so maybe with thicker paper it wouldn’t b an issue). My only complaint is that the caps definitely don’t match many of the colors so I will have to find a solution for that, but the colors are so nice & vivid that I can’t even complain or take away a star. These pens are a great value & when I need to, I will be repurchasing.

These have lasted through a 12 week group that meets once per week with several people coloring with them. Still going strong. They don’t bleed and I highly recommend them. The colors are nice and vibrant!

I'm absolutely thrilled with these Shuttle Art Dual Tip Brush Pens! The colors are incredibly vibrant and blend beautifully. The brush tip is flexible and allows for a wide range of strokes, from thin lines to bold expressions. I also love the fine tip, which is great for detail work and precise lettering. The pens are comfortable to hold and the ink flows smoothly. I've been using them for everything from hand lettering and doodling to watercolor painting and even light calligraphy.

Even if you have no talent whatsoever like me - you can still have a lot of creative fun using these markers. You don't have to be a pro to enjoy this set. These markers feature tons of vibrant colors that really pop on the page. There are even a few neon colors. With Brush pens there is a little bit of a learning curve for beginners, but they're fun to experiment with. Keep your sense of play about you as you experience what these markers can do. These pens cap nice & tight to preserve their ink so they won't dry out.I absolutely love the Adult Coloring Book that accompanies this set. It features appealing designs that offer something for everyone (mandalas, animals, seascapes, floral designs) & have plenty of detailed areas to fill in that will make the best of your markers.The biggest problem with this marker set is that the colors are not labeled or numbered & if you put them back in the case you may forget which color you used for what & where, or mix them up. Also some of the markers are kind of gushy & too much color comes out on the page. They say they don't bleed, but they do. Any surface residue can be cleaned up with isopropyl alcohol. Some reviews complain about duplicated colors, but I haven't found any exact matches. One fine tip got mistakenly duplicated, but that's it. The purpose of a large set like this is to give you a wide variety of subtly different colors. Put them together, add a little water, & they create a really cool & amazing watercolor effect. There are however a lot of marker caps that randomly misrepresent the actual color. The dark deeply saturated pastels can really throw off the effect you are trying to create if you're really looking for the cap color. One peach tone marker has a dry fine tip that differs from the actual brush color. For all these reasons together, I took off one Star.Keep in mind when the seller tells you that this set is good for doodling, journaling, and lettering - they mean it. If you really are a pro & you really want pens that will take your art to the next level, a more professional set of Brush Pens may better meet your needs. But if you are a beginner looking to experiment, explore, & unleash your creative side, this set is a good place to start. And for the price you get loads of vibrant colors to keep you engaged in your arts. Once you swatch them out, you'll see the difference between the colors.I have never used water-based Brush Pens before, & I was unaware of the watercolor effect. Just for fun I used a tiny paint brush & added a little water to a few doodles. The watercolor effect was unearthly & ethereal. The teals unexpectedly broke down into mellifluous blues & greens that reminded me of tie dyes. So use those "barely different shades" to layer colors in your water colors & move them around on the page. That's what they're made for. The less hard I "try to do art" & the less talent I display...the cooler & more groovy the watercolor effects have been. If you long for talent, but you love art supplies, like I do - you may create some really amazing things with this set.I recommended this Shuttle Arts set for beginners who want to experience Brush Pens just to experiment & see what they can do on the page. The fun factor is worth the price of the set. For less than the cost of a pizza delivery, you can create beauty & feel Like God The Day The Earth Was Made...

Vibrant colors with dual tips. Loved the convenient carrying bag for portability.

Great markers for a cheap price. The color of the markers look different in every different type of paper though

I really like Shuttle Art pens and this particular product was a great buy at less than $10 (on sale). I purchased this one to replace the "most-used" colors for my larger set.However, I would recommend AGAINST buying this this particular Shuttle Art product for one reason: the caps on these are very difficult to get on and off. I actually sprained my thumb! I see that some customers complained about the pens drying out quickly and have to wonder if it is because it is so hard to get the caps completely on. I have to press the pen hard on the table to get caps to snap completely on.Also, a more minor point, the box that these come in is useless for storing pens. Shuttle offers other pens that come in really nice boxes (like their 56 Pastel Dual Tip Brush Pens which, unfortunately, have the same difficult caps).Shuttle Art makes other Dual Tip Brush Pens with caps that are easy to get on/off. (In case you want to look - The cap is a bit longer and doesn't have the grooves that this product has.) Highly recommend that you look for those pens and skip this product until they fix it.

These are great! I got them for myself and My grandchildren ages 5 & 6 use them too! They love them. They are nice because they are wide on one side and narrow on the other! It really helps to stay in the lines! Just bought another set for my son. I’ve had many styles of markers.. these are my all time favorite!
