Review on Enhance Your Creativity with Sakura XBR-12SA 12-Piece Koi Assorted Coloring Brush Pen Set by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like them better than Tombow (sigh!)

Listen to me I bought a 12 piece set because they are sold at a significantly lower price. Otherwise, these pens are slightly more expensive than Tombow given the number of retailers, and you can use Michael's coupons to discount prices on Tombow and buy a specific color at a time. BUT: PROS: The colors are rich and beautiful. Paper, brush tip glides easily. The tip stays strong and you can make thin and thick strokes with ease (especially compared to other brands). CONS: It's been about a few weeks since I first got these pens and started using them. I've used them a little but not excessively. I'm right-handed and have medium abs, especially when I need thicker strokes for larger projects. Still, some of the handles have started to wear out and I'm so sad about that! WHY Another downside is the red color: it's more like a burgundy brown than a bright red, so that's disappointing. not light enough for dark paper, so in mint condition at the moment.

Pros
  • Odorless water based thinner makes it easier to mix and apply paint
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
