Shuttle Art 280 Colors Dual Tip Alcohol Based Art Markers, 279 Colors Permanent Marker Plus Colorless Blender, Micro-tip Pens, White Highlighter Pens, Marker Bag with Holders for Kids Adult Coloring

I've been a long time user of alcohol markers, but I've tended to stick pretty exclusively to Prismacolor. These markers aren't professional quality, but for the price, they are significantly higher quality than they have any business being.The color range is fantastic, with so many subtle variations of shades that I feel like I always have the perfect marker available for whatever I'm coloring. They also include swatch charts, made of a higher quality paper so I have a constant visual guide to reference before selecting my marker. The marker paper pad included is also really cool- I use it as my backing paper for bleed through between pages, and I'm so impressed that one sheet totally protects the page behind it.Some of the darker shades have a bit higher fluidity, particularly in the chisel end, and take a little extra attention to keep the pigment from bleeding beyond the intended section of paper, (harder to stay in the lines,) but nothing too difficult to work around. Of the 310 markers in the set, the only one I'm noticing starting to dry out after a month of regular use, is my black marker so one that 8 expect to replace frequently with any brand.

I was surprised at the quality of these markers for the price. Lots of colors and NONE of them arrived dry, all worked well when I watched them a few days after receiving the set. While I wouldn't say they are of the same quality as Copic or Prismacolor, they are of a quality much better than what is needed for casual art, sketching and coloring. With the excellent price, you will NOT be unhappy with these. I haven't tried their blendability so I can't speak to that, but they seem to layer well and are vibrant when layered. I didn't notice a terrible smell from the markers, but I have been using markers for so long that the smell of alcohol markers doesn't really bother me at all in most cases. 5 stars for value. Now are these BETTER than Ohuhu or Bianyo? I feel that Bianyo and Ohuhu markers are better--but not by a whole lot.

I love these markers so much! I never had any dried ones on arrival, and they’ve lasted me a while! Once you know how long it takes before they dry it makes it easier, they’re good with blending too! I recommend getting fine art markers for smaller details as the fine point is still big, but I love these markers and it’s a cheaper alternative to ohuhu.

I bought them to go with my adult coloring books! I am soooo excited to have every color!!! If you’re OCD you’ll have fun putting them in numerical order :) My granddaughters also love them!! I also take them on trips and woman’s retreats and all my friends love to use them!! However on cheap coloring books they do bleed. I stay away from the edges so it can bleed to the lines! However, on quality books that say “no bleeding “ they work much better!

My second set of these. My 13 year old absolutely loves the way these color with the fine point and the angle point on the other end. They do not bleed and the color range is amazing. A must have on a rainy day.

This is the perfect starter kit for a young artist, great quality set and a nice zip tote bag to store them in, very nice gift or set for your artsy friend or relative. i will be getting more to add to the collection!

Okay! So here is my take on this product! While I like how many different colors there are and the highlight markers and pens it comes with... it is lacking in the actual quality of the product. The colors don't seem as vibrant as portrayed. A little dull. A lot of the names do not match the color at all! So if you want a specific color, I highly recommend you do the patch test with the papers they give you. Also, there are several colors that look the same. There may be slight differences, but some colors don't look different at all. I received 2 of the same colors, causing me to not have a color in the batch. For example, I received 2 tiger Lilly colors. But one of them should have been the Dark Neo Pink color. Some colors went on smoothly, others struggled a bit. I find it a bit difficult to use the chiseled side of the marker (honestly that part might be user error on me). I think it's an okay product though. Though for the pricing, I would have expected better quality.

I love them so much they all work really good !!!
