Ohuhu Brush 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 :)

Great markers, very vibrant colours and very easy to blend. Only issue I had with them was unwanted spotting on the paper caused by taking the lids off (these are my first decent markers so unsure if this is a common thing) but just be cautious to take the lids off away from your drawing. The quality of the markers feels great and like they are worth a lot more than I paid.

I'm not a marker girl, my main artistic focus is polymer clay models but I used to colour with coloured pencils. I find coloured pencils stressful, painful and not vibrant enough and using these markers was a great experience this evening/night.They're juicy, there's a great range of colours though lacking in skin colours. Though there is bleeding I think they're actually less "bleedy" than say Crayola or other cheaper marker brands. The brush side is easy to use and very controllable. The broad side I haven't used to colour this picture but did use to fill the swatches on the cards and it takes a couple tries to get used to but I haven't used proper markers before.They're very comfortable in the hand and I'm someone who suffers chronic pain and cramping when doing tactile things. The set comes in a nice bag, with a leaflet displaying their range of products and swatch cards. The best thing in this kit, besides the markers, is the plastic sheet you can use to put behind your project to prevent bleeding onto your surface or other pages in a colouring book. With these markers I do not recommend getting double page colouring books and although the bleeding seemed contained to one page always use that bleed protection behind your works to prevent accidental damage to surfaces and other artwork.5/5 stars for colour pigment5/5 for juiciness4/5 for range (more nude colours from peach to beige to browns would have been good)5/5 for control4/5 for bleed5/5 for accessories.I plan on buying the bigger or biggest set in the future to get that full range of colours I'm looking for. Great for beginners and I highly recommend.
