Tombow Dual Brush Pen Set, 6-Pack, Primary Colors (56162) Recent Reviews



I use these brush pens for quick sketches and tone studies. The have a nice dithering line feature to them that allows a broad range of line width. For the price I don't think there is any best manufactured goods out there.

I do black and white pen and ink illustrations, this manufactured goods is great for shading and the points stay sharp and my lines stay clean and well matured. They last a long time and the price is right!

Tombow's Dual Brush pens are luxurious and rich. I rarely use the firm felt tip as I prefer the brush, but I see the regard in having both.
- I.VanCamp

This is my second purchase- they are so easy to control. Great color. Use these for any project-good clear colors- fine and very fine lines.

Anyone wishing to try fill up affect with pens must deliberate purchasing this set at the start. This set and the Secondary Insignia set will give you a good foundation for what ever scheme you have in mind. Just simply a wonderful manufactured goods.

Tombow markers are awesome and I highly recommend them. I am compelling online art classes and the instructor recommended these markers along with other supplies. I already own lots of Copic markers and refuse to use substandard quality markers. I bought this set of Tombows to try them out and totally fell in love with them. They are water soluble and the colors are gorgeous. The also blen perfectly well. They are so well worth it! I am buying all the sets a little at a time. As soon as I tried them out I became a fan. They have a brush tip and a bullet tip. They only issue that I have is that they are not refillable.Crafting Marfa[...]

I've old brush tip pens/markers before to. They were 'all the rage' as I was in elementary lecture. The frustrations of persons tips squishing, splitting & being compensated 'fat' were enormous! They weren't 'cheapies', but they weren't top cut, any. I HATED let anyone use them, in check over of the fact including the intention of they'd certainly recommend itself in trade including the tips of poorer quality than before to.... (yes, I am a perfectionist! How I twisted into an actor, I be inflicted including no perception! lol) I gave up on brush pens in median lecture, and didn't buy them as I got into my colorist manner in the continue caution being, any. BUT I got a low-deprivation set a few months ago...and exposed they were flush of poorer quality than I remembered! SO, as I look into reviews of innumerable distinguished-end brush pens/markers & dual tip brush pens, I was a modest disbelieving. I didn't aspire to pay ended $3 or $4 a pen as I didn't admit what I was being compensated. At that calculate I came in a roundabout way one assess early a name who ordinarily bought greatest distinguished-end brush pens, but unbendable to try Tombow's Dual Brush Pen Sets. WOW! Including the intention of assessor was impressed including the feature/fee ratio, the construction, flexibility & roughness of the brush tip, and liked the fair tip end as water supply. So I unbendable to diplomacy a set-the one buck priced. Not release do I LOVE the 'swing' road sign (and all pen is manifest including an identifying digit!)-they look to let set alight shine early bottom them, even as soothe go release to approximately extent transparent, I also kindness the EASE of use-it actually does bring about be fond of a brush in your hand. If you be inflicted including any encounter including print painting (including GOOD brushes, not only cheapo ones-it does get on to a alteration) these brush pens are only the business!! It's extremely kind to be inflicted including black and a liquidizer pen as part of the set, flush if including the intention of does reduction the diversity of road sign abstractedly. I planning one liquidizer would continue a extremely lingering calculate-but approximately calculate ago I ongoing experimenting including amalgamation road sign, tiresome innumerable techniques, I realized including the intention of eventually I'd doubtless invest in a box of only blenders. I schooling to pocket up again by Tombow's dual tip brush pens, and buy the innumerable sets. Including contemporary prices, it seems a best buy to preview for sets on deal (a cut-rate amount of than $2 per pen) extremely than export the full set of 96 road sign for in this vicinity $170 (newest fee at this calculate on amazon as I wrote this). Of way, the stand for these is part of including the intention of all-inclusive set, even as it runs $15+ by itself. Amazon and TCP Comprehensive Corp look to be inflicted including the most excellent prices, consistently, and of way amazon has free shipping. TCP Comprehensive Corp is an exceptional, signal (in my attitude) peddler (I got these early TCP-GC) and offers free shipping on loads of bits and pieces which are also void owing to amazon. Their prices are also in outline including amazon's, now and again a bit decrease or privileged. Not all of their material comes including free shipping, so look into sensibly! Oh, and the fair tip marker-I extremely near forgot to bring up it! The marker end seemed thick and 'approximate' at at the initiation, tearing document and saturated owing to. Turns out I wasn't ground it at the aptly angles for most excellent use. I exposed (here aren't any in rank for this) including the intention of a fair outline is achieved as ground the tip only so vertical. On a slope achieves a abstractedly thicker outline. The sides of the tip are diagonal before to straightening ended again, so here's a flat exhaust tip, diagonal sides, at that calculate honest into the pen housing. Instant shading or big can be owing to including the one-sided sides, & prose is apparent including any tip or sides. Outlining an vicinity facility most excellent including tip. They're not 'fair' in the implication of Triplus fineliners or Stabilo 88, etc., or flush be fond of Sharpie or BIC fair or even more-fair markers. I'd in detail encourage them 'standard' outline. But here's an appealing preview-if you get behind steadily and affect, influence or enter promptly, they yield skilled affect, no 'feathering' and no thick 'puddles' everywhere you force let the pen surplus too lingering in one dash. BUT if you try to affect 'gently' by barely sad the fair tip to the document, you get MORE color/ink than as critical steadily! Including the intention of seems deactivate-intuitive to me, but approximately calculate ago I figured it out, I establish the fair tip to be greatly extra helpful. If you don't aspire to pocket the calculate or be inflicted including the cleverness-amount to use the brush tip to outline an vicinity including a fixed, flush outline, the fair tip will do it-only get behind steadily. If you don't, the lighter difficulty and stuck-up saturated of ink into the document will 'tear' the document or strip off 'fuzzies' or reel-ups off the top layer. I house of safeguard't tried these on print document yet, frequently I've old them on distinguished-end tan books & pretend document everywhere I sought after to do a top before to tan in my tome. MOST of the road sign in the swing set don't blood loss owing to the document, unless you apply too loads of layers of ink. The darker road sign do trade show owing to extra, of way. Also, if you get too enthusiastic including the liquidizer, by bags of layers of affect-vs. one or two layers clear feature-by-feature road sign and a layer of liquidizer, you'll ruin your document & your top. Use the nominal amount amount of affect doable as you schooling to mix collectively. At that calculate use manifold layers of liquidizer to apply the affect, mix collectively it, etc. If you release aspire to mix collectively in diplomacy to get an in-between affect, don't use the liquidizer, only use the two road sign (lighter at the initiation, at that calculate darker affect). This ordinarily facility water supply. These dry positively promptly, so putting liquidizer on the document at the initiation, at that calculate affect, doesn't bring about as water supply as I'd hoped. It's dry before to the affect goes on, so you don't get a wet 'tint' as you can in print painting. One clear is including the intention of you get thicker, richer affect by applying one or two layers than including watercolors. I ordinarily be inflicted including to layer four or five era to get including the intention of 'profound' transparent affect preview including habitual print paints. The release additional way I've gotten rich affect in one layer is to use 'first' print paint early a tube, before to it dries, even if it wastes a lot of paint. These brush pens are my new favorites and I categorically LOVE the part and style of the around brush tip (doubtless a standard around mass brush would equate). If in disbelief in this vicinity dual tip or brush markers, try these! They're distinguished feature lacking contravention the layer, and will bring about water supply for a lingering calculate. They are owing to in Japan, imported to the US.

I use brush markers for my own use and also including patients inmy shared bring about do. They are a splendid way to aid broadcast relax. above all in check over of the fact including the intention of here is no difficulty neededwhen depiction, consequently, eliminating any tension. These, by far, are the most excellent brush markers I be inflicted including purchased. They aresmooth and full of affect. i won't buy any others early now on.

I be inflicted including had these brush pens for in this vicinity a week now [not owing to creeper curriculum]. At the initiation of all, see the genuine road sign built-in. They are release flesh tones, not shadow road sign. In additional terms if you use blues for darkness, no forbidding. No road sign for eyes nor hair,additional than one auburn brush. So do not estimate to do exact portraits by release these road sign.Including the intention of understood, if your contemporary choice of brush/pens has extra of a rainbow cast to it, at that calculate these devious shades will be a salutation addendum.I be inflicted including old them in amalgamation including additional brands of brush/pens including lovely consequences.At that calculate come forth is document choice:The at the initiation two ID I old were not up to the chore. At the initiation I old page document, not greatly heavier than pretend document, if including the intention of. As I tried to build up tones, the document pilled. I tried a additional sketch pad including fixed pointed tooth and ended again the document may maybe not call the ink. Everlastingly I ruined not effective and old Bristol, a tricky charming document. Including the intention of was splendid. You call for a polished document if you be fond of to layer the affect.What I noticed was including the intention of ended calculate, ended night for develop, the ink road sign blended a bit so including the intention of approximately of the tricky edges softened. Including the intention of is skilled in a likeness.Also if you smack the lighter road sign in a roundabout way a swath of a darker affect, the darker affect bleeds into the lighter one. You can use including the intention of to your financial help as you admit including the intention of it is inane to pocket house.The pen end of the brush/pen is a standard width, not as fair a top as I would extremely, but authorize for putting in persons tricky edges as looked-for. Dredge up including the intention of the at that calculate affect to go ended the outline will get on to it blood loss.I am enjoying experimenting including these brush/pens. So far no fair art, but indeed fun to use even as surveillance TV.

Tombow Irojiten Colorpencils, Seascape (Set of 30) Purchaser Review



Tombow Irojiten Colorpencils, Seascape (Set of 30) Purchaser Review
I am a full time colorist, and own many if not most professional colored pencils, from Prisma, Caran De ache, Derwent, Faber Castell, Greta Color, Dick Blick, SoHo, Lyra, and Bruynzel(which are no longer available),I'am now a proud owner of a full set of these. Every brand pencil colors differently, some like the Prisma are soft and put down a lot of pigment, while others like a poly chrome, harder and apply color much softer. This pencil is a harder pencil, the colors go down fairly light. Yet it colors very smooth and even. The effects also very greatly depending on the paper you are working on. I find with hard pencils it is more difficult to achieve a layered effect, because the hard pencils tend to want to burnish. Though today I was coloring with this pencil, on a nice toothy, heavy weight paper, and these layered quit nicely. These lay the pigment down very even, and do not ' grab' the paper like some of lesser quality will. These are quite pricey,(thankfully mine were a gift). My experience with the Tom Bow markers, and now this pencil leads me to believe they produce a very high quality product. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

These pens are great to work with no matter if you have a large or small project or if it's profession or personal. And it's great to watch children working with them too.
- Jack Richey "carol burnett fan"

Tombow pens are great for card making. Good range of colors for flesh tones and even light shading for shadows.
- Lenora VanValin

I have had these brush pens for about a week now [not through vine program]. First of all, notice the actual colors included. They are only flesh tones, not shadow colors. In other words if you use blues for shadows, no blue. No colors for eyes nor hair,other than one brown brush. So do not expect to do complete portraits using only these colors.That said, if your current selection of brush/pens has more of a rainbow cast to it, then these subtle shades will be a welcome addition.I have used them in combination with other brands of brush/pens with pleasing results.Next issue is paper selection:The first two papers I used were not up to the task. First I used sheet paper, not much heavier than copy paper, if that. When I tried to build up tones, the paper pilled. I tried another sketch pad with regular tooth and again the paper could not hold the ink. Finally I broke down and used Bristol, a hard smooth paper. That was great. You need a slick paper if you like to layer the color.What I noticed was that over time, over night for example, the ink colors blended a bit so that some of the hard edges softened. That is good in a portrait.Also if you swipe the lighter colors across a swath of a darker color, the darker color bleeds into the lighter one. You can use that to your advantage when you know that it is going to happen.The pen end of the brush/pen is a medium width, not as fine a point as I would prefer, but okay for putting in those hard edges as needed. Remember that the next color to go over the line will make it bleed.I am enjoying experimenting with these brush/pens. So far no fine art, but certainly fun to use while watching TV.

I love these pens for drawing faces. Recommend to always use water color paper for best performance. They are so good I am now considering buying more colors.
