OhuhuBrush Marker Pens 48 Colours, Dual Tip Brush & Chisel Sketch Art Pens for Artist, Students, Brush Markers for Sketching, Adult Coloring, Calligraphy, Drawing and Illustration Markers

I’ve had two sets of these markers now, as Ohuhu were kind enough to send me a replacement for my first set. I contacted them through Amazon and they sent me a new pack without asking for me to send the original item back to them, to avoid P&P and inconvenience. I thought that was great.I’ve included some unbiased notes for potential buyers below.The markers are going to get messy. There are two reasons for this,1. It’s near impossible to remove a cap from the brush end without touching the inside of the cap. Most of the time you’ll end up with a little blob near the rim of the cap. The caps are white, the markers are white, everything ends up covered in ink. I suggest carefully pulling until you hear a “click” and then removing the rest of the way with the precision of a robot, being careful not to touch anything with the brush ever.2. Some markers pool ink in the deepest part of the cap. I don’t know if this is because they are overfilled, or if there is a moulding or vacuum issue with some markers. As you can imagine this makes removing the cap a nightmare, and ink splashes everywhere.It’s because of the second issue that I contacted Ohuhu for a replacement. Most of the marker caps I initially received were filled with big pools of ink. They were messy when I first opened them and after having them a few days I realised the markers were continuously emptying themselves into the caps.The replacement pack had 10 which were only pooling moderately and the rest are perfect. I can only assume from my experience and from that of other Amazon reviews that Ohuhu is collecting their B-Grade markers together during their QA process and selling them as a batch, hoping that someone will purchase that pack of mostly leaky markers and then not contact Ohuhu for a replacement.Many of the markers splash when taking the lid off even if the ink hasn’t been pooling - be careful and don’t take the cap off over your artwork. Don’t wear a white shirt either.For these reasons I’d suggest storing the brushes upright, with the brush at the top. I haven’t noticed any leaking from the chisel ends or had issues with the brushes drying out so this is the safest end for gravity to send the ink. I suspect that if stored horizontally as recommended with other markers, you would end up with a real mess.The skin tones in this 48 pack are terrible. Nothing in the pack is good at depicting mid to light skin tones, or lighter areas of darker skin. Most of your figures are going to be very dark or various shades of orange.That said, these markers are AMAZING, hence the five star review. My comments above are meant as constructively as possible, as I think Ohuhu has really nailed it for the price point. The brushes are soft and absolutely joyous to use (although for some reason the green and yellow nibs are much harder). The colours are vibrant, consistent, and blend well. I have had a lot of fun with these.Their customer service is attentive and generous. I think the trade-off of leakiness for price isn’t perfect, and I’d suggest maybe getting rid of the piece of plastic inside the marker bag and spending the savings on more careful QA.Ohuhu, keep doing what you’re doing, but please try to improve where you can :)

I haven't used alcohol markers for a few years and was shocked at the prices, but didn't want to risk those extra cheap varying brand deals, so went for the best value of the trusted names: Ohuhu.I have to say I am impressed. They lay down colour exactly as required, and the colours are vibrant, and usable. But the real shocker was the brush nib. I have long been a fan of brush nibs, and my favourite was always the Spectrum Noir Illustrator brush nib. I didn't think it could be beaten.But the Ohuhu brush nib is actually a little better in my opinion.I can't comment on longevity as I have only had the pens a day, but I can say they are good quality and I would buy these over a certain more expensive brand beginning with C any day of the week.Fantastic quality and not too expensive: what else could I want?And they play well with my Spectrum Noir Classique and Illustrator pens, so I am a very happy chap.

My daughter recently got a how to draw Cute Kawaii Food book and wanted to start colouring her drawings. We looked around for brush pens, and first bought some normal brush pens but the nibs were too long. After some further research we were recommended a premium brand but on Amazon it was costing a similar price for far fewer pens than this set. This one came up as an alternative on Amazon with great reviews so we decided to take a punt with it.The set arrived next day in a black case with all the pens safely secured inside. Each pen has a broad and fine tip. My daughter tried both and was amazed by smoothly the ink flowed and filled her drawings, allowing her to use the fine tip for edges and small areas and the broad tip for the larger areas. Had no problems with any of the colours so far, although it's worth doing a test on some scrap paper first as some of the colours are much brighter than the colour shown on the cap.Would definitely recommended and will likely consider the set with even more pens next time.
