STATIONERY ISLAND Cool Grey Sketch Markers - Set of 11 - Carry Case - Alcohol Based Blendable Dual Tip Colouring Pens - for Drawing, Graphic Design, Illustration, Comic, Anime and Manga Art

nice smooth pens, good quality

Smooth and easy to use!

Pens look good and give good coverage.Only issue was the darkest marker tip is broken- it seems to have got stuck in the lid somehow. So am unable to use that one. Hopefully the range of other greys will be enoughNot sure as the impact of the blender pen- didn't seem to do anything when I tried blending two colours together. Maybe I use it wrong?Work lovely on this new Canson Bristol board I've just bought

Great markers

These are the first markers I've ever used. I wanted something cheap that I could practice with and I wouldn't cry about if things went south (I had read a lot about some very expensive ones, and I didn't want to spend anything similar). Well, for now they are behaving beautifully.They have 2 tips, one thinner than the other. I use the softer tones for making sketches under pen drawings, and the darker ones for shadows and textures. They look beautiful on brown paper.They do smell of alcohol when shading, but I find that endearing to the drawing process.I haven't tried the blending marker though!

No problems, as described.

Dry out very very quickly

I was worried that these would of turned up dry but was happily surprised, they are juicy and are nice to hold.They also work well with my other brand of markers, although sometimes it separates the colours so that the grey shows up more. Unsure if this is a thing THESE markers just do, if this a fault of me or if its the fault of my other branded markers.I don't use the blender, I don't see the need in it.They layer well with one another. The alcohol smell isn't strong which is pleasant.The only negative is that the cool grey 7 and 8 are very similar, its hard to tell the difference when put onto paper.
