KINGARTChisel & Fine, Travel/Storage Case Dual Tip Markers, Assorted 36 Piece (408-36)

Just what I was looking for to journal and doodle!

I loved the Kingart watercolor brush markers, but skip these! They feel like cheap kids markers. They are dry, and the marker tips are hard! The color selection is nice, and mirrors the watercolor tips - but purchase those instead!

To be honest, I've never thought of markers as really an art supply. They're something you use when you need to make a poster for your kid's science fair project or a protest. But maybe that's just my bias. I did a quick Mondrian-style piece to try out all the different colors and how well they do with lines and coloring in large areas.With the exception of the dual ends, I don't see these markers as significantly different than any other markers available. One end is a chisel-edge (like a highlighter) and the other is a standard "fine" tip point. The fine tip isn't all that fine - frankly, you're better off using the thin edge of the chisel side if you need a really fine line, although the fine point is probably fine enough for most areas in an adult coloring book.The markers do allow for a variety of widths of line, so that's good, but they are no better than any other markers for filling in large areas - if anything, you may be better off with children's fat-tipped markers. Like nearly all markers, they show the direction of your strokes and where you have gone over the same area twice (or more). The markers wet the paper enough to warp it and with just a few repeated strokes in the same area can wet it enough to tear.There are a large variety of colors (36 different markers), all of them nice and bold. They each have their place in the case and they clip in tightly (in fact it can be difficult to pry them out), so they travel neatly. The caps fit tightly so the markers will not dry out. However, the caps do not fit over each other, so you cannot use the end of the marker to store the cap while you're using it.Overall, this is a fine set of markers, but there is nothing remarkable about them besides the dual edges. For 36 markers, the price is decent, so if you need a chisel edge, this could be the set for you.

I like these markers a lot !If you are one who likes writing diary/journals, and taking notes, you will love this set.I loved twin tips of the pen, and the way they write on the paper since I don't like the tips that are too soft.Less than 70cents per pen is a good value in my opinion as well ~Overall, quite satisfied with these, and didn't get dried out too quickly either (I still have many left after about 5 months) !

Very good quality markers. I really like that it comes in this storage container. The markers are easy to use. Go on smoothly and are very comfortable to hold.
