Ohuhu Alcohol Markers Extra Wide Broad Tip - Refillable Ink- 6 Colors of Halcyon Oasis - 1-19mm Nib Calligraphy Markers for Background Poster Design Renderings Large Areas Coloring Molokai

Verwende erstmals Stifte mit dieser Breite und was soll ich sagen, eine absolut tolle, beste Anschaffung. Es tun sich viele Anwendungsmöglichkeiten auf. Tolle, satte Farben. Schnelle Lieferung. Gerne wieder.

This is my first set of Ohuhu markers. I was afraid to purchase since some reviewers complained about the smell and headache. I have asthma and fragrance allergies and these were no problem at all. (Some of y'all didn’t whiff Prisma markers back in the day. Ha ha). That aside: wowza! Gorgeous juicy color. And the packaging, design of the markers, and the swatch inserts are peak customer experience. I am now addicted to this brand. I. Need. More.

Interesting to use

My kid loved these. Great colors.

Updated Review: Okay, I think I spoke too soon. These are really starting to grow on me. I can get a variety of fun textures with them, and they work really well for loose, sketchy drawings. I’ve needed help loosening up, and these do the trick! I am the type to admit when I’m wrong, and I think I was wrong about these before! I’m going to have to order the rest of the sets now. Previous Review: Let me start by saying I normally LOVE Ohuhu products. I’ve spent a LOT of money on their alcohol markers, fineliners, and sketchbooks through the years. They’re my favorite budget art supply brand by far. However, these aren’t that great. I have a very hard time getting a smooth lay down of color. When you put the nib flat and draw straight across, it often drags across the paper and causes “skips”, where the mark is significantly darker. You can see this in the pictures I uploaded, especially in the swatch card and the oval stickers used to label the lids. Those dark streaks are where the marker caught on the paper and got stuck briefly, causing more ink to lay down there. It doesn’t happen as much on very smooth paper, but if there’s any texture at all, they snag pretty often. The image I uploaded with just blue shows how hard it is to get a flat wash without building up a lot of color. The top left was making individual strokes from left to right across the page. You’ll notice the second and third stroke from the top are cut off at the bottom, because I struggled to keep the nib perfectly flat on the paper, and I was actively trying to do so. The bottom area was a rapid scribble, which looked quite streaky and somehow ended up squirting ink out that ran down the page? No idea how that happened. The area on the right was a slow, steady, circular motion, which was the flattest color I was able to achieve, but still wasn’t perfect. The darker colors lay down a bit smoother. I’ve noticed it gets smoother as you build a lot of layers, but the trouble is that it makes the color much darker than you expect. If these came in much, much lighter shades, I feel they’d be more useful. The light blue I used looks like a wonderful sky color with one layer, but it’s impossible to cover a large area with one layer because it’s so streaky unless you use several layers, which darkens the color too much. That said, I DO like these. I don’t love them, but I like them. They are fun to scribble with and make cool textures, but I’m not impressed with them for making large, flat areas of color, which was the entire selling point. I will probably just use these to make rapid, scribbly “fun” drawings until they run out, but I likely won’t buy them again unless I’m able to experiment more with them and figure out a better technique. Maybe if the nib was a little wider it would help, but I suppose that would make it tougher to draw with them in addition to just covering large areas.
