Sakura Pigma Sensei Manga Drawing Kit - Archival Black Ink Pens with Pencil & Eraser - Pens for Drawing Manga, Cartoon, & More - Assorted Nib Sizes - 6 Pack

I don't often use markers nor draw anime or comic related material, but I've been using these Sakura markers for other things and they're still some of my favorite tools. These six piece set is truly excellent and versatile; if you need a variety of black markers in a piece, this one gives you four different options in tip sizes!Here's the deal:1. The pencil that is provided in the set is excellent and the lead is neither too hard nor soft. For the pencil alone, I love this set. The eraser is of good quality and has the right texture to avoid shredding delicate paper if you get a bit too energetic with it.2. The different sized tips are for specific jobs in creating comics (lettering, tracing, detailing, etc.) and I've found uses for all of the in my work when I want to add splashes or bits of true-black to my pen drawings. The extra detail and good quality ink makes a world of difference.3. The pens aren't to thick when holding them, they're light weight, and they are very fluid, so you don't have to press hard to get what you want. Comfort is an underrated quality with art supplies, and these markers have it.These markers aren't overly expensive and very few, if any, drawbacks compared to more expensive markers. I'll be buying more and you should too.

I find this to be one of the best drawing kits for starting off artists. I got this a few years back when I started to draw, I really wanted to get some inking pens. Plus it came with a pencil and an eraser which I loved.The pencil is wonderful!! It's one of the best pencils I have ever used, sadly since I lost it I no longer have one, although I have bought the kit more than once to stock up on markers and the eraser is really nice! It's not kneaded and it gives off only a small amount of the flakes which is always a bonus. The only way to get that pencil is to buy this kit or another like it, but I was able to find a pencil like it, it was from Pentel I think... same company makes some great, smooth lead refiller, since regular, cheap lead isn't as good even with such a nice pencil.The markers are also quite nice!! Very smooth, it's a great kit for beginners to start off with. It has the basics needed to start, I don't really use them anymore since I mostly do digital art or I need a kit of pens with a larger variety of sizes, (even small than than the sizing of these pens).I highly recommend this kit, most of all to starting artists! I bought this as a Christmas gift to a friend who's a newer artist since I know how helpful it can be, I may buy another just to use these markers again, back when I used them I pressed too hard and wore out the ink, just trace along gently and you'll be fine.

Very smooth pens, great product

This drawing kit gives you the tools you need to draw anything from manga, cartoon, or anything else you can think of.The pens are smooth and dark and dry quickly on paper and the various sizes allow you to lay down thick links or very small details. However you do have to be a bit gentle with the smaller (0.3 & 0.4) pens as you can wear them down although I haven't had the same issues with the larger 0.6 and 1.0 pens.I personally really like the included pencil which can be used to sketch up whatever you want to draw first as well as the included eraser.Overall a rather high quality set and is definitely worth the price if you're looking to try them out.

These were purchased as a gift for my daughter who is very into drawing manga, and enrolled in a drawing class at the time.Because I am not much of an artist, I wanted to play with them a little compared to a few other sets she has to see the difference and write an accurate review.We then collaborated and came up with this review together, agreeing upon most of the principles.The set is definitely not just for manga, and has been used in our household by all, to draw cartoons, artwork, lettering, scrapbooking, doodling and more.They dry quickly, which we all love because it means NO smearing, which is essentially when you are drawing. In addition, the various size tips, allow you to choose better for detailing.There is an included pencil and eraser which is awesome for pre-sketching. Because of the quick drying nature of the pens, this means you can erase the lines as you go with not a single smear mark or trace of the pencil remaining.We bought these in December and it's now August and they are still going strong. She uses them several times a week, in addition to us using them too. They were a GREAT value for the quality and amazon's price was FAR better than any store we found them at.

Stellar quality inks in this pack. I was looking for something quick on a bit of a tight budget and these beauties fit the bill nicely. I have to admit I used this pack for helping with an image I had sketched out and needed some quality inks in a hurry.These arrived quickly and I was able to get the image done as I wanted. There is a nice depth to the lines given by these pens, and I was especially happy with the brush pen, when I needed to get a bit more 'fancy' with some thicker lines. Overall, I am very happy with this pack and would gladly recommend it to others to give it a shot, or as a great gift / "stocking stuffer" type-deal for a friend around Christmas time.

The quality is magnificent. I've been using these for years, but the mechanical pencil is my personal favorite from the set. I was never a fan of using mechanical pencils for drawing before I got a hold of one of these bad boys. These particular pencils are also sold separately. Don't get me wrong, the markers are great as well. This set is great for beginners and veterans alike. You will not be disappointed!
