Shuttle ArtDual Brush Marker Pens, 56 Colors Water-based Ink, Dual Tip Calligraphy Pens Fineliner and Brush Tip perfect for Kids Adult Artist, Hand Lettering, Journal, Doodling, Writing

These are amazing. My grandson hates crayons, and these are beautiful, and because they are organized, he keeps them organized and in the right place all the time. It’s a wonderful learning tool not only for the color and the dual sides but it teaches him how to be orderly. I love them.

These are great! I got them for myself and My grandchildren ages 5 & 6 use them too! They love them. They are nice because they are wide on one side and narrow on the other! It really helps to stay in the lines! Just bought another set for my son. I’ve had many styles of markers.. these are my all time favorite!

Great markers for a cheap price. The color of the markers look different in every different type of paper though

Even if you have no talent whatsoever like me - you can still have a lot of creative fun using these markers. You don't have to be a pro to enjoy this set. These markers feature tons of vibrant colors that really pop on the page. There are even a few neon colors. With Brush pens there is a little bit of a learning curve for beginners, but they're fun to experiment with. Keep your sense of play about you as you experience what these markers can do. These pens cap nice & tight to preserve their ink so they won't dry out.I absolutely love the Adult Coloring Book that accompanies this set. It features appealing designs that offer something for everyone (mandalas, animals, seascapes, floral designs) & have plenty of detailed areas to fill in that will make the best of your markers.The biggest problem with this marker set is that the colors are not labeled or numbered & if you put them back in the case you may forget which color you used for what & where, or mix them up. Also some of the markers are kind of gushy & too much color comes out on the page. They say they don't bleed, but they do. Any surface residue can be cleaned up with isopropyl alcohol. Some reviews complain about duplicated colors, but I haven't found any exact matches. One fine tip got mistakenly duplicated, but that's it. The purpose of a large set like this is to give you a wide variety of subtly different colors. Put them together, add a little water, & they create a really cool & amazing watercolor effect. There are however a lot of marker caps that randomly misrepresent the actual color. The dark deeply saturated pastels can really throw off the effect you are trying to create if you're really looking for the cap color. One peach tone marker has a dry fine tip that differs from the actual brush color. For all these reasons together, I took off one Star.Keep in mind when the seller tells you that this set is good for doodling, journaling, and lettering - they mean it. If you really are a pro & you really want pens that will take your art to the next level, a more professional set of Brush Pens may better meet your needs. But if you are a beginner looking to experiment, explore, & unleash your creative side, this set is a good place to start. And for the price you get loads of vibrant colors to keep you engaged in your arts. Once you swatch them out, you'll see the difference between the colors.I have never used water-based Brush Pens before, & I was unaware of the watercolor effect. Just for fun I used a tiny paint brush & added a little water to a few doodles. The watercolor effect was unearthly & ethereal. The teals unexpectedly broke down into mellifluous blues & greens that reminded me of tie dyes. So use those "barely different shades" to layer colors in your water colors & move them around on the page. That's what they're made for. The less hard I "try to do art" & the less talent I display...the cooler & more groovy the watercolor effects have been. If you long for talent, but you love art supplies, like I do - you may create some really amazing things with this set.I recommended this Shuttle Arts set for beginners who want to experience Brush Pens just to experiment & see what they can do on the page. The fun factor is worth the price of the set. For less than the cost of a pizza delivery, you can create beauty & feel Like God The Day The Earth Was Made...

These have lasted through a 12 week group that meets once per week with several people coloring with them. Still going strong. They don’t bleed and I highly recommend them. The colors are nice and vibrant!

Vibrant colors with dual tips. Loved the convenient carrying bag for portability.

I am really disappointed that my markers came so unorganized! I love buying new markers because they are perfectly organized. My markers came today and some markers are facing the wrong way and the colors are all over the place!!! It looks like someone used them and randomly put them back. Now, I'm going to have to check the markers to make sure they're not used and take them all out to put the colors in proper order. I have terrible OCD when it comes to my art supplies being orderly and I almost want to return these and buy something else. Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! I will not buy them again because of this.

They work well for adult coloring books
