Colouring Pens 320 Colours Permanent Marker Pens Dual Tip Brush & Chisel Sketch Marker for Artist, Students, Brush Markers for Sketching, Adult Coloring Calligraphy Drawing Illustration

I was incredibly excited to receive these and they do not disappoint! Beautiful markers with stunning vibrant colours. They blend well, and the brush style is fantastic for fine detail. The ink flows extremely well so you don’t get any streaks. Small circle strokes help with this too. Do be mindful that these will likely bleed through the paper (unless you’re using a bleedproof option) but the pack does supply a plastic protector to go behind the page you’re working on. Good quality colour swatches are also provided and are 100% worth doing to help you pick colours quickly without testing them every time you use them. If you’re looking for affordable markers that work as well as more expensive brands you can’t go wrong with Ohuhu.

I’ve had two sets of these markers now, as Ohuhu were kind enough to send me a replacement for my first set. I contacted them through Amazon and they sent me a new pack without asking for me to send the original item back to them, to avoid P&P and inconvenience. I thought that was great. I’ve included some unbiased notes for potential buyers below. The markers are going to get messy. There are two reasons for this, 1. It’s near impossible to remove a cap from the brush end without touching the inside of the cap. Most of the time you’ll end up with a little blob near the rim of the cap. The caps are white, the markers are white, everything ends up covered in ink. I suggest carefully pulling until you hear a “click” and then removing the rest of the way with the precision of a robot, being careful not to touch anything with the brush ever. 2. Some markers pool ink in the deepest part of the cap. I don’t know if this is because they are overfilled, or if there is a moulding or vacuum issue with some markers. As you can imagine this makes removing the cap a nightmare, and ink splashes everywhere. It’s because of the second issue that I contacted Ohuhu for a replacement. Most of the marker caps I initially received were filled with big pools of ink. They were messy when I first opened them and after having them a few days I realised the markers were continuously emptying themselves into the caps. The replacement pack had 10 which were only pooling moderately and the rest are perfect. I can only assume from my experience and from that of other Amazon reviews that Ohuhu is collecting their B-Grade markers together during their QA process and selling them as a batch, hoping that someone will purchase that pack of mostly leaky markers and then not contact Ohuhu for a replacement. Many of the markers splash when taking the lid off even if the ink hasn’t been pooling - be careful and don’t take the cap off over your artwork. Don’t wear a white shirt either. For these reasons I’d suggest storing the brushes upright, with the brush at the top. I haven’t noticed any leaking from the chisel ends or had issues with the brushes drying out so this is the safest end for gravity to send the ink. I suspect that if stored horizontally as recommended with other markers, you would end up with a real mess. The skin tones in this 48 pack are terrible. Nothing in the pack is good at depicting mid to light skin tones, or lighter areas of darker skin. Most of your figures are going to be very dark or various shades of orange. That said, these markers are AMAZING, hence the five star review. My comments above are meant as constructively as possible, as I think Ohuhu has really nailed it for the price point. The brushes are soft and absolutely joyous to use (although for some reason the green and yellow nibs are much harder). The colours are vibrant, consistent, and blend well. I have had a lot of fun with these. Their customer service is attentive and generous. I think the trade-off of leakiness for price isn’t perfect, and I’d suggest maybe getting rid of the piece of plastic inside the marker bag and spending the savings on more careful QA. Ohuhu, keep doing what you’re doing, but please try to improve where you can :)

As an artist and designer working with children and adults with complex needs, I need reliable good quality materials. I took a risk purchasing a brand I did not know, just to see how they performed compared to my long standing favourites. These did not disappoint. Excellent coverage, consistency of colour and highly blend-able. The dual-sided design was especially welcome; the broad tip for coverage and the brush for highlight and fine detail . I feel very confident to buy this brand again. Excellent results.

First impression: I bought these markers under recommendation of YouTuber after YouTuber, hearing them hailed as the best quality budget alcohol brush marker on the market. And as someone who can't afford Copics, I figured I'd try them. I've tried a few other brands, from ProMarkers to TouchNew to Azure or Artiste DoCrafts, and I think these are probably the best I've used for the price. They're juicy, with firm brush tips that feel like they're going to last. Colour does down lovely and flat, and you can blend between even contrasting colours, with a little bit of work. They fit nicely in my hand and feel very ergonomic to use, and overall I'd say they're really high quality. I do wish there were more skin colours. I would say there's only about 6, and one of them is meant to be a grey. The colour sheet nor colour on the caps isn't accurate, but that's to be expected. What I am disappointed about it is how colours like Salmon Pink and Rose Beige are far too bright and vibrant to be reasonable skin colours. Which means I'm left with Warm Grey as a light skin colour, really. I would love to see a much wider range of skin colours that's included within this pack, because while they sell a separate skin colour pack, it's £30. I was able to draw two realistically coloured characters so I can't complain too much and this should be more than enough for beginners, but I'm a little frustrated that I now have to look at buying a seperate pack of skin colours. I think especially when I look at how wide the range of green is and the fact that Grass Green, Vivid Green, Pale Green, Glass Green and Bud Green are all essentially the same colour, I would be more than happy to sacrifice a few greens in order to get some more skin colours, if that's the reade off we had to make. Something of note is that the firmness of the brush tips isn't consistent. Some are softer than others. For example, the yellows are lovely and flexible while the greens are a little too firm. This doesn't affect how usable they are though, I just thought it was something worth mentioning. Aside from those two small cons, I think these are a really good cheaper marker that would be perfect for beginners. I definitely recommend them! I just think they would be EVEN better if they included more skin colours and worked on keeping the pastel colours actually pastel (e.g. "pastel" pink is actually highlighter bright 😂). But yeah, overall I am super pleased, especially since it is so, so hard to find cheap brush markers that are decent! I will try to remember to come back and update this review after using them for a long time. 😊 TL;DR: these markers are really really good, but could do with having more skin tones, and some of the colours are a little too vibrant and highlighter like. The brush tips are fantastic quality, but the cap and colour sheet colours aren't accurate, so make sure to swatch them first. Overall, 4/5 and would recommend, they're definitely good for beginners!

The only problem with these is now the fact I want more... The blending on them is incredible! They mix SO well! I have used loads of markers in the past from promarkers to copic. All of which are expensive and don't blend as well as these. Obviously copic are good but you do have that price tag. These are fantastic price for how many you get AND the quality. Depending on the paper, they do bleed, but don't worry about it! They come with a plastic sheet to put behind your paper to stop your work from ruining!!! The brush is perfect thickness, its a but stiff at the moment but that's only because they're new. The pens do dry quickly. This could be a problem for some people as I do seek for a smooth finish. Just by the feel, and the amount of ink is put out. I feel that they will last a long time.

After trying other pens with a similar style these ones are definitely the ones to pick! Strong colour, dry fast, easy to work with plus they dont have that weird overlapping effect you get with the cheaper brands, with these you can achieve a full block colour which is very satisfying. You will need some strong paper as it can bleed through however they supply you with a sheet of plastic to put under your page to protect the page beneath, other than the bleeding it doesn't abrase the paper like other markers do and the paper remained smooth and strong even after multiple layers of marker were applied. The image attached is my first drawing using them (an Uruk-hai from the Lord of the rings). They also arrived 2 days earlier than I expected, in perfect condition.

Ohuhu are the best alcohol-based markers I’ve ever used. They’re fantastic for coloring and blending colors on papet the hues are really vibrant as well. Buying the 120-piece set gives you an amazing range of shades, and they’re definitely worth recommending. I have no complaints, and they’re also well-made with a really nice storage case, so it’s all positive.

Really great set of markers, amazing value for money. I'm a traditional artist and work with markers a lot so I've tried a lot of different brands - in terms of quality these are honestly second only to Copics and considering most sets (including this one) are <£1 a marker that cost point has absolutely made them my favourite. They work well for layering and blending, and cooperate with other marker formulas (see picture - 90% Ohuhu markers with one copic marker used as a base). The caps are labelled with a large, easy to read code and a supplementary colour name, which makes them easy to identify from a distance. The carry case can be stored in any orientation and has reinforcement that keeps the shape of the edges even when empty. There's also three pockets in the side that hold swatch cards & plastic mats, which is useful! The case is split into 4 sections which is super helpful for organising & making it easier to find the colour you're looking for, and has a little extra room for additional markers - though not a full supplement set (36-48 markers), alas. I've used them on a couple of illustrations already and the colours are incredibly vibrant, very easy to blend (which is something I've previously struggled a lot with) and dry with a good texture across all colours (this can sometimes be a problem with dark markers, but I have not noticed this at all!). As such I'd really recommend either this pack or a smaller starter set to anyone looking to try out alcohol markers - I've never seen markers this cheap that are this good and easy to work with before. The only recommendation I have for potential buyers is to consider the 168 marker set which includes the 48 pastel Ohuhu set. The colour range in this set is great, but definitely favours mid-to-dark tones. Images attached show the colour swatches and a colour spectrum I made using the 120 set + 36 skin tone set, for reference. I purchased the 36 skin tone pack at the same time which has some overlap with the 120 marker set, but contains a lot of unique tones & the overlapping colours are ones that you will likely use a lot. I would also caution the use of the plastic mats - this is a universal flaw of non-absorbent "catching" sheets in general and not specific to this product: when you use a non-absorbent mat you run the risk of additional pen-bleed, and also colour pick-up from the mat itself. Ink on a plastic mat will remain solvent in alcohol and so can be picked up by a wet page above it and into the paper itself - especially with a light marker on a dark stain. I'd recommend using the plastic mat under a layer of paper if you use it at all!
