Tombow56187 Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, Pastel, 10-Pack. Blendable, Brush and Fine Tip Markers

I love these markers! They are super cute and last a long time. They are fairly smooth, not super easy to use as calligraphy pens but manageable. They are water based so they dont bleed much if you use them properly

Tombow markers are always worth buying. It's unusual to get pale colors in a marker set, so I was happy to add this set to my existing markers. These markers produce smooth colors, the tips stay sharp, and the caps fit well.

These are beautiful brushpens of good quality and nice, sleek designs. I bought them to take notes but can imagine them good for lettering as well. I like the pastel colors that are easy on the eyes. I use the bigger brush for lettering or highlighting, then use the fine tip for underlining or write down subtitles.As you can see from my photo, some pastel colors are hard to see with bare eyes if you use only them. such as the bottom sky blue.The blender works okay but the moisture can lift up paper if you try to smudge it, so you have to use heavy watercolor paper if you want a nice smooth blend. The paper in the photo is canson XL mix media paper, 98lb. The paper bunch up a bit due to the moisture.

Beginner-friendly and super easy to use! The ink lasts a long time and doesn’t run out quickly, which is a big plus. My only complaint is that it’s a bit pricey for what you get. Still, if you’re just getting started, it’s a solid pick. I also really like the variety of the colours.

I don't use my markers for super artistic endeavors. I use these mostly for coloring books, but they're amazing quality for a decent price. Absolutely would recommend.

Tombow has produced one of the few pastel marker sets available today. I have bought dozens of marker sets, that showed pastels in the mix, just to find that the ink was way too intense to be a true pastel.The markers are dual tip with a brush-like fiber tip on one end and a small fiber tip on the other end. The brush-like tip allows you to cover areas quickly while still being able to do detail work. The small fiber tip produces a fine line but it isn't as easy to use as a fineline marker as it is harder to line up the point of the tip with the area you need to color.The colors are true pastels of pale lemon yellow, pale golden yellow, pale spring green, pale turquoise, pale blue, pale lilac, lilac, and pink. There is also a blending brush which allows you to blend the colors together.The inks are water based and have no odor. They lay down well, without streaking, and blend easily on marker paper. The tips self-clean as does the blender brush.I love this set of markers for coloring in coloring books. They should work well on most coloring book paper but you should always use a blotter sheet under the page you are working on. You should also check all the colors to make sure they don't bleed though the paper if the coloring book has double-sided pages.I think this set would also be good for journaling if your journal has non-bleed-through paper or you only color on one side of your journal paper. Both tips are a great size for working in journals.If this set had a different fine tip I would give it 5 stars but I find the finer tip to be less reliable than regular fineliners in the width of the stroke and the laydown. Fortunately, I can use the larger tip for virtually everything I color but I've seen coloring books with extremely fine detail work and I can't imagine these markers would be suitable for that.Other than that nit-picking deficit, I think Tombow has produced an excellent product that will be useful to everyone who loves to color in coloring books, journal, or who does artwork that will be protected with anti-UV glass.

I love this product because they are easy to use and have many different color variations. I use this product for my note-taking at university, and they glide on paper easily. I highly recommend this product for artsy people and for people who like to make their notes pop.

These markers are sooooo satisfying. I already want to buy more. I just got into coloring and I’m hooked. I can see why it’s addicting.
