Tombow 56169 Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, Landscape, 10-Pack. Blendable, Brush and Fine Tip Markers

I would 100% recommend these. I picked up two gray tone markers along with some muted primaries at Michael's a few months ago to add some depth to my sketches. I liked them a lot, so I purchased the Portrait pack, Landscape pack, and the Secondary pack two weeks ago and have been using them since.I use these mainly for sketching, as you can layer the opacity very nicely. With that being said, as any marker, there is only so much give to sketchbook paper before it starts to chew through it, but that does not bother me too much as I mainly use these for ideas of where i want colors/tones/shadows etc placed. (I would recommend bristol paper, or a hot-press watercolor paper for final pieces. I use mostly a mix media sketchbook and it works well enough.)The variety of colors is what drew me to them mostly; although I do wish there were more pastel skin tones available, with different undertones. As of now they are mostly pink based. (Again, you can only get away with layering them so much before the paper gives out.)The spectrum ranges from pastel, to highly opaque colors and they are extremely blendable being water based, so you can get away with purchasing a few, and mixing your own colors.Application is very smooth as well. The brush tip makes it very easy to get soft lines and fill in large areas, while the fine tip is good for placing color in specific areas etc. As well, you can put some of the ink on a plastic sheet, and you can pick it up on a brush/water brush and you can get beautiful washes of color. (Will not dry nearly as fast as anything alcohol based.)Pros:-Easy to work with-Variety of color-PortableCons:-Lacking different undertones of color (Although as stated, you are able to mix colors. I am just lazy.)-Some darker colors don't layer as well-Brush nib is very soft and after awhile it will start to have a little more give, so you will have to be more careful when you are placing specific color.I would not compare them to Prisma or Copic markers performance wise as they are alcohol based, but the price point of Tombow's is obviously much better, and water-based markers are MUCH more forgiving than alcohol based markers. (Just as watercolor paint is easier to work with than say acrylic in my opinion.) I have used Arteza markers as well, and I prefer the Tombow.If you are looking for quality art supplies that won't break the bank, offers a wide variety of color and easy to work with, definitely give these a try!

Tombow markers are by far the highest quality markers I’ve come across as an artist. They blend well with other colors, and have a particular brightness that is unrivaled. These markers rarely bleed through, provided you are using high quality paper. I’m continually impressed by the wide range of colors available. You absolutely pay for what you get!

They are fine tip for small print.

Great quality, they last ages! Loved them

For those of us who get a bit overwhelmed when choosing from a huge assortment of whatever, this is a fabulous grouping of colors. The blues, the greens, the browns! All that are in this set of ten are such worthy colors. Have you ever gone to the TombowUSA website and browsed through all 90+ colors in this line? Yeah, well, I have done that, and I wanted them all.....No can do! This set brings me back down to earth--in a beautiful and economical way. And the set contains a blender (N00) too.All I need now is to augment with some yellows, oranges, reds, and a few more greens. And, wouldn't it be grand if Tombow made up a "Sunset" set?I love Tombow products. They have never, ever disappointed. The brush heads on these pens are wonderful to work with. They react to pressure and the angle with great precision. Just playing around with them is a pleasant joyful experience. Pigment in each color is superb, too. Can't go wrong with anything Tombow.

Perfect water-color markers as usual. I like Tombow's brush pens, because they're great for all kinds of purposes. Bullet nib for solid lines, brush tip for calligraphy and coloring. They lay down color great and will last you a long time even if you don't use them frequently.With that said, the set I received holds different colors that is shown on Amazon. The product page shows earthy tones, as well as some greens and blues. However, the pack I received has mostly yellow-ish green to darker green tints, a couple blues, and a single lavender/lilac shade. I confirmed on Tombow's website that I received the right Landscape Palette, but I wonder why Amazon shows a completely different palette on their website.

If I could have every pack I would! I love these markers.

I like how the dual tip brush pens make me feel like I am a part of something very cool - the Tombow community. They are very nice. I like that all the pens come numbered. This set is a few blues and a few grays/blacks, one very very light yellow-green and a lavender, and maybe also some more greens. The lavender is probably the prettiest color in the set in my opinion. I like the fine tip end, and both ends are very fun to use. Wonderful, high-quality product. The pens are also pretty long.
