Review on πŸ–‹οΈ Optimized Speedball Sketching Pen Set - 2 Penholders with 6 Pen Tips by Karla Richter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad for $7, but definitely far from perfect.

I didn't have high hopes for them to begin with. When I received this set I was definitely surprised. Aside from the spiky sharp feathers, I found it worked well. I tried using the smallest quill (I think it's called the Crow Quill but I'm not sure) and when I was done I took it off to clean it and put it away but it broke. Well, that might have been user error and all my fault, but on closer inspection I noticed something. This tip is made from a very cheap material. He wouldn't have been broken like he was if he had any quality. Now for pen holders. The big black (AI size I think) is unique in design but not in a good way. The hole (if you can even call it that) has a shape that doesn't fit most springs from other manufacturers. The smaller brown holder holds the tips in such a way that they are difficult to remove. I believe this is also a factor in the crow's feather breaking. Overall it's not terrible, but you should definitely consider something better.

Pros
  • Arts, painting and craft supplies
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
