Tombow 56179 Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, 108 Color Set with Marker Case. Blendable, Brush and Fine Tip Markers with Marker Case

6/25/20 Update: After getting tired of reassembling the rack and chasing down and returning the scattered pens to their holes after every cat encounter (and there are a lot of cat encounters on my desk), I superglued the rack together about a year ago. Pens, rack, cats, and I have all been happy since. 6/10/15 Original review: This is a very nice pen set for crafting or coloring. It has a nice range of colors without duplicating any of them. The stand is surprisingly sturdy and holds the pens nicely, ready for use. The stand just pushes together without any sort of fasteners, but I haven't had any problem with it falling apart. If you had to move it about often, you might want to glue it together for your peace of mind. While this set is quite expensive, it is a quality product and you can order replacement pens individually, as needed, if you use up some of the more frequently used colors. The individual pens are $3.19 each on Tombow's website vs. $1.45 each in this set, but that beats having to buy a whole new set when a few of the pens run out of ink, as you have to with some of the less expensive pen sets. Also, Tombow has a chart on their website showing all of the colors. If you click on each color, it will give you the color name and number. I did have a problem with the first set that I ordered. Firstly, the box was coming apart and some of the pens were sticking out of the damaged bottom. I was concerned that some might have fallen out of the carton at the warehouse, so I counted them. Fortunately, all 96 were there. Secondly, the caps on half or more of the pens were loose; a couple were off in the box and others came off in my hand when I tried to pick the pens out of the box. Thirdly, the ink in some of the pens was dried out (possibly due to the loose caps? I can't say, as I went through and tightened all of the caps before I went back through and tried out all of the pens.). I contacted Amazon immediately and they shipped another set to me along with providing a return UPS shipping label. I received the replacement shipment very promptly. The new box was in good shape, all of the caps were on tight and the ink in all of the pens came out nicely. Overall, I'm very happy with both the pen set and with Amazon's handling of the problem I encountered. I wouldn't hesitate to order another set of these pens if I needed them.

These water-based coloring art markers are good for all of your coloring needs! I use them for my coloring books. These are professional-grade artist dual tip pens. I have a friend who is a professional artist in San Francisco, and he sent me two packages of ten markers each (20 pens) to try. I was so in love with these pens that I immediately ordered this set of 96 markers (with desk stand)! As I stated in the headline, these brush tips do NOT wear out with normal use! I wish that they had made the back with a 1mm tip, but the brush tip works just fine in all of your tight spaces and corners. These markers are all blendable. The set comes with a neutral blending brush specificly for blending colors. I have not tried to blend colors. But, from what I have read, you don't need to wash the blending pen after you use it. These pens are definitely worth the extra cost! There is so much that you can create with these! This set comes with bright colors, pastels, and landscaping colors. Knock yourself out!!

is a great art markers, a brush and and a smaller and for delicate areas. The colors are great. No bleeding. Love them highly recommend.

Excellent. Use with water for watercolor washes, blends beautifully. Very happy with purchase. Take note, before you put all the pens in the stand, SUPERGLUE THE STAND TOGETHER AND LET DRY. Otherwise, you'll be putting the stand together, and having to take those 96 pens in and out a gazillion times. Really. Pens are great. Stand needs to be superglued, and it's very frustrating dealing with all those pens and that crappy stand. ETA: This 96 pen set doesn't ship with a color chart, or mine didn't. My pens came in a box, and once I took them out, I was on my own for organizing. I am not an obsessive freak about organizing my art supplies, but in a set with 96 pens, it does help to have a flow to the colors, as opposed to having them all willy-nilly. And any order that many have existed before unpacking them was gone when the stand fell apart, before super-gluing it. The chart for these colors can be found in the Tombow Blending Kit for Dual Brush Pens, includes Blending Palette, Colorless Blender, Spray Mister and Blending Instructional Guide (56180) . The laminated card has the every Tombow pen listed, and you can get the order from that. It's not a straightforward numerical ordering, but if you group and guess the ordering, you'll be pretty close and can fine tune the ordering with the chart on the laminated card. I believe that set was worth the extra money, and worth the extra time to organize the colors, because the pen caps aren't a necessarily a true measure and this is a large configuration. However, Tombow really should ship a little chart with the 96 pen set, no question.

Whilst this product arrived very promptly, the packaging came opened. This could have been an honest mistake, but quite unlikely, seeing as it was opened neatly along all 3 of the tear lines. One would also not know for sure if any of the pens had been used and put back, simply because there would be no way of verifying. As this was meant to be a gift, I will now have to look at something else to purchase.

描き心地もいいし、薄い紙に描いても裏に滲んでうつらないので、とても気に入っています!!

Je les ai reçu récemment et je les adore déjà ! Les couleurs sont belles et lumineuses, la pointe pinceau (la seule que j'utilise) glisse toute seule sur le papier, c'est vraiment très agréable à utiliser ! Je les utilise pour du coloriage anti stress, j'avais besoin de beaucoup de couleurs et là je peux dire que je suis servie ! J'ai également des Faber Castell Pitt mais je préfère largement les Tombow !!! Je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat :)

Worth the money

Absolutely love these! Yes, they're pricey, but they are so worth it. They blend beautifully and I'm only very amateur! I'm sure if I was actually good at art then these pens would come out even better! But they make me look more like an artist, there are so many colours and none the same, they're beautiful to colour with - a soft brush which can take various pressure and a thin end which is perfect for any intricate bits. I had the pastel 18 set before this, so I knew what I was getting. Definitely not a disappointment, although a month waiting for them was painful once I'd made the decision! Still, more than worth it and I would definitely recommend anyone to get these. Youtube videos for many tips and advice :)
