Review on Prismacolor Premier Illustration Marker Assorted by Shantel Griffin

Crisp, vibrant fine lines

I needed fine-tipped colored pencils for the small art projects I do to stay sane. I have a spiral drawing that looks a bit like an old spirograph toy (yes, I have a spirograph too, but I only use ballpoint pens). I also like mandala coloring pages. These pens are perfect for what I do. They're not great for painting more than a small area, but I mostly sketch or draw thin lines with them and then use a different set of pens to color in that area. Next time I might use double tip pens. These pens don't bleed but can smear if you touch them straight away, they dry very quickly and then no longer smear. The tip is large for a zentangle, but it suits me as I love color and work on paper, not tiny tiles (I'm just learning how to draw balls). They are also good for those who like to take notes in different colors. Colors are black, red, blue, green, yellow (if you can call it that), orange, brown, and purple. Based on the colors provided and the dark tone of the ink, I think it was intended as a writing tool rather than an artistic pen. The red is a little pink, the yellow is dark, more of a light brown, and the brown is not much darker than yellow. However, for what I wanted to use them for, they work great and flow onto the paper, so my doodles look almost intentional. They are also good for those who like to take notes in different colors.
