Review on Kuretake Zig Clean Color Real Brush: 90 Colors Set | AP-Certified | Professional Quality | Made in Japan by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Kuretake fan!

*Note* The illustrated photos of all colors offered in Set 90 are quickly scribbled on cheap Xerox paper. Colors on watercolor paper are more vibrant. I'm still playing with them and learning how to work with them, but they're great. The colors are strong and harmonize very well. I also have single color II markers and the colors are similar. The brush tip really is where it is though, it allows you to get into some very tight spots and makes for a pretty sexy line. I've also included a photo of the Kuretake pure colors alongside the Tombow dual brush pens as they are comparable. I don't know if that translates to photography, but Kuretake's palate looks much more alive in person, less like a marker and more like a watercolor. I hope this makes sense and is not an obvious statement. *Update* for those looking to save money, you will NOT feel let down by buying a set of 80 colors. I'm not sure which 10 colors aren't included in this set, but the colors are so concentrated that you can get such a variety of shades and shades from a single pen that I doubt you'll actually notice the loss or will feel.
