LOVE LOVE LOVE these markers!

What can I say other than I LOVE her?! I can even use them for heavy adult coloring books, so win win! They are similar to my Tombow markers in that they don't have an actual brush tip, but the ink applies smoothly and easily - very good markers! The 48 color set has a wide variety of colors including my favorite teals! I tested them on a Peter Pauper Press coloring book and the paper on them is fantastic for these markers. They don't bleed and only seem to warp the paper if you use real water to mix or a mixer handle that seems to curl the paper a bit. They can be blended - you just need to be careful with the blender handle and get minimal pellets. I tried them in Joanna Basford's book The Enchanted Forest and this paper lays flat even on multiple uses of the same color. Since it's double-sided, I wouldn't use them there either. My Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Pens performed slightly better in the Enchanted Forest book for just applying up to 3 strokes in an area and blending the lighter color with the darker, but you really can't get along with the koi makers in this one mix book . general. But I like both sets, especially the colors in this set are very nice. There's a decent range of lighter colors instead of all the darker or duller tones! I love these new markers! For your information, please be careful and check the package you received to make sure it is new. The first set I received was not sealed with tape, the color card was full and 8 colors were missing! Revain was great as always and sent another set right away. It even arrived a day earlier than planned!
