Caliart101 Colors Brush & Chisel Alcohol Markers for Adult Coloring Book, Dual Tip Artist Sketch Art Markers, Aesthetic Cute Preppy Stuff School Supplies, Pens for Lettering Drawing Cards Planner

I got it as a gift for my girlfriend and she is Loving the different colors and bright vibrant shades. It’s fun for drawing therapy and they seem durable, but the heavy usage is starting to dry the markers after two weeks. It functions as expected and easy to use. I would gift it again but get the larger pack with more marked counts. Great start gift for the price!

These are awesome! Very vibrant colors. I got the smallest pack since I have to carry them around with my other things for work and it’s the perfect variety of colors while also being able to fit in my backpack.

Markers work but come without a usable color reference page. There is a glossed notecard you’re supposed to be able to color test but again, it’s glossed so doesn’t work well. There’s also no space to write the marker’s number code so it is pointless again. The container the markers come in has no structure, so once you unzip it the markers fall over. Cheaper markers I’ve gotten have come with both a reference card and a grid like structure in the packaging so each marker has its own individual spot.

Love these so much better quality than ohuhu ❤️

This were perfect for what I want then for. I will definitely buy them again. I can’t wait to add lire to my collection.

I am kinda picky when it comes to buying things, I want a good deal if I spend my money. These are definitely the way to go!! This was my first time buying "adult markers," and I was not disappointed. I was hesitatint at first because the colors they show in the picture look TOO pastel for what I was looking for. But I thought the PRICE was good, so why not. When they arrived and I tried then out. I LOVE THESE MARKERS!!!!I included pictures. So you can see the intensity, brightness and how they kinda of stain certain areas of you press hard... These ARE alcohol markers..they WILL bleed through the paper!!! So use a secondary sheet behind the one your coloring etc.In the pictures you can see where I was coloring and then stopped at one point and had to walk away and it almost stained that certain area. I don't know if that's because I pressed hard or what.The only issue I have with these markers is that the brighter green color is already running out. Not sure why.

I got these markers as a splurge since I have started to create more advanced art…and let me say they did NOT disappoint. I have Ohuhu markers and these are just about the same I would say in quality and pigment! There is quite a bit more greens and blues than anything but this works out for me best in the type of art I make. I have had them for a few weeks and none of them have dried out or came dried out. They do bleed through, but I haven’t found a marker that doesn’t and it does not bother me. The only CON is that the color swatch paper it comes with is glossy and does not accurately represent the color on normal marker paper. I did create my own color palette but that did not bother me.

I wanted to love these markers. I don't hate them, but I don't love them.One of my biggest gripes is that the colorless blender is already dried up after less than 2 weeks of use. This might be a deal breaker for me because I haven't used it enough for it to dry up already and it concerns me that the colors will also start drying up as quickly. I have ten year old Copics and year old Mai Moi's and Ohuhu's and the colorless blenders are still juicy or working well so this is super disappointing. They should consider providing 2 blenders and they should certainly last longer than 2 weeks.The other cons: The bag is useless. These markers should be stored horizontally yet they come in a bag stored vertically. Easy solution is to turn the bag on its side during storage. While you're using the markers and the bag sits upright, there's no support whatsoever to keep the markers from sliding around and falling under the others which is annoying. Even my cheap alcohol markers have support/slots to keep them in place. I would prefer a cardboard box to this bag.Another con is the color selection. While 168 sounds like a lot of options, some of the colors are so similar that you literally can't tell them apart. It would have been more beneficial to add some pastels or florescents instead of such similar shades. So. Much. Green. So few pink and purple.Another really annoying thing is that when removing a cap, very often the entire marker container comes apart so instead of the nib, you're seeing the entire core and and once that happens, it will continue to happen with that particular color which is beyond frustrating, especially when you're trying to work fast. Now you've got to snap the marker back together and carefully try to remove the cap only and not the entire core.It would have been nice if they included a swatch sheet that listed color names and numbers like shown in the product images, but instead they give you a chintzy, blank "color test page" with no color names or numbers which I didn't bother using. Instead, I had to sort & order the colors before creating my own swatch sheet and then figure out which color was missing, which I thankfully found had slipped under the others.Lastly, for the cons is the cap color verses the actual color. While this seems to be a thing with many alcohol markers, it's especially a thing with these Caliarts. You MUST create a swatch sheet which I generally do with all my coloring media anyway, but do not rely on the cap color without referencing your swatches because you will be sadly mistaken until you use them enough to be familiar with the colors. Not a deal breaker, just an annoyance.Ok, on to the pros. The ink is JUICY, beautiful and streak free even when coloring large areas. There are many gorgeous colors and they blend nicely.The little tabs on the caps do help to keep the markers from rolling off your surface.The chisel tip provides a fine and broad stroke depending on the angle and the brush tips are reversible which helps extend the life of your markers, provided the ink doesn't dry up first.Since the colorless blender dried up so quickly, I was able to remove the brush tip and add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to give it a little more life, but the actual solution is not strictly alcohol so it doesn't work nearly as well as I'd hoped. I think the blender solution contains water and glycerine which I have on hand and might try, but I still haven't decided if I'm going to keep these markers or send them back yet.If you're a beginner and wanting a large set to practice with, this is a decent set at a decent price. If you're more experienced and color frequently, this is still a good backup set for trying new techniques and patterns or for filling in large spaces when you don't want to use up your more expensive markers.
