It’s like the secret weapon for all your writing and artistic needs, giving your projects that extra “wow” factor, without breaking a sweat.Pros:• Opaque White Ink: First off, the ink is impressively opaque. It’s not like the white-out you used in school (remember the fumes? Yikes!). This ink shows up bold and bright on both dark and light paper. You’ll see crisp lines, no matter if you’re writing on black cardstock or scribbling over your last-minute to-do list in a notebook. It’s like the mic drop of gel pens.• Smooth Writing: These pens glide across the page like they’re on roller skates, giving you that satisfying feeling as you write. No clumping, no smearing, just smooth, creamy gel ink that feels like it’s working with you, not against you. Who knew writing could be this satisfying? It’s like ASMR for your hands.• Versatile Uses: Whether you’re into scrapbooking, bullet journaling, or just want to jazz up your doodles with a little pizzazz, these pens will be your new best friend. Need to add highlights to your doodles or make your invitations pop? These pens got you. Plus, they can even work well on dark surfaces, which is like having a superpower in the pen world.• Three-Pen Set: If you’re like me and lose pens faster than you can buy them, this 3-pack gives you a little cushion before your panic sets in. You can either use them all up or, you know, hoard them in a drawer for that “just in case” scenario.Cons:• Can Get Clumpy if Left Unused for Too Long: Let’s be real, every pen has its quirks, and these aren’t immune. If you leave these babies lying around unused for too long, you might find them getting a bit clumpy. But don’t worry! A little scribble action and they’re back to full-on smooth mode. Just keep the cap on tight!• Not a Super-Heavy Duty Pen: If you’re trying to write on super-textured surfaces or really thick paper, these might not be your best bet. These pens love smooth, standard paper, so if you’re working with something wild, don’t be surprised if they need a bit of encouragement.• White Ink May Take a Minute to Dry: White ink is a bit slow on the drying front. If you’re impatient and tend to drag your hand across the page while writing, you might end up smearing it like a true artist… or, you know, a person who really likes to mess things up.Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a gel pen that goes above and beyond your standard ink experience, the SAKURA - Gelly Basic White Gel Pens are your new best friends. They write smooth, bold, and bright, and they’ll make everything you create look just a little more magical. Sure, they can be a little temperamental, but hey...what’s life without a little challenge? Plus, they’re a great excuse to break out your artistic side and start doodling like you’re Picasso, but with better hand cramps.

I got these pens mainly for the purpose of adding highlights on drawings. I'm trying to go back to traditional.. I was never good at blending with coloured pencils or markers so it's not good looking but that's not the point. The pens did the job of adding some highlights to his black leather parts of his outfit and hair. I usually don't use white for hair highlights but I felt it would look okay. The pens worked well over the markers and even came out decent over coloured pencil! I didnt pay attention to if it smears or smudges, being white ink, I probably wouldn't have noticed the smearing/smudging anyways. But I don't think it smeared? I felt like it actually dried pretty quickly. As for the price, I think it's decent and worth it. It's a 3 pack with 3 different sizes (is that the word? Size seems incorrect? Width of the ink? I dunno anyways). You pay what, 2 bucks extra compared to the price of a single Sakura white pen, so yeah worth the price for 3. For the pics I used the 1.0 one. I used it for both the coloured pencil version of his hair and marker version. The pen was easy to use, didn't need to shake it or anything. Glides relatively smoothly as well. So all on all, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I've always wanted white pens, and now that I got them I'll try and use them more often.

At first glance, the pen’s appearance feels a bit cheap—but don’t let that fool you. The performance is absolutely top-notch. These gel pens write stark white on black paper with no skipping or fading, and the ink flows smoothly every time. For bold, bright white lines, they deliver exactly what I was hoping for. Can’t ask for more.

This is a really good pen honestly. So far, these are the good pens I used overall. But there's one drawback, when u use it, it smudges. So, you probably have to wait for 2 or 3 min. There was no rips or damage from the item.

It's such a good deal for all three sizes. I bought this same set at the art store and paid 3 times the amount. You really can't go wrong with these pens. They glide on smoothly and consistently in a buildable opaque ink.

Seems dried out. Lots of ink “boogers” as you use it. I have to constantly remove on another piece of paper. Size is ok with the 3 different ball sizes. Quality is lacking

These gel pens are very nice. I like the different sizes it is really helpful. They are bright and slide easily. Will definitely buy them again. The price is also affordable

(Picture is zoomed in on a spot where I used the gel pens on a drawing to imitate shiny, sheer fabric.)I've used these gel pens for years and only just recently had to buy some new ones once my old ones dried up.I love using these for small white highlights in art or lettering on darker paper. The white gel comes out easily, it's not shy. The varying sizes helps get a lot of detail.In my opinion, they're just as good as paint if not better. Paint pens could likely do about the same, but these are just so convenient to use and you get a lot more control as to where the color goes.Also, it does decently well at hiding ink mistakes. Sometimes it takes a couple layers. Also, make sure that the ink is dry before you try to put gel over it or it'll blend together and leave a bigger colored splotch than before (learned the hard way).
