Long time ago I discovered the joy of the Sharpie - the black saturated ink scrawled on my Peechee...I have been through them all, even the ballpoints which are fantastic by the way BUT these pens were my particular holy grail and I got them - the colors are fantastic and they don't bleed. They come in thin and thick editions - I find the brush tip is amazingly versatile especially when you want to lather on all that color.. Now the thin ones are good but the brush tips cover a lot more ground and you can push right up to the edge with a steady hand. So many blues - and you can tell the difference. Earth tones is a simplistic title and doesn't do these justice. They are easily my favorite pens. You can write, do caligraphy, color and the caps are all secure and stay on - just incredibly easy to use. If you buy them on Amazon you pay like $1 a pen which is still less than the price of a conventional sharpie. So you have to know while not inexpensive I found these pens were more value for my money, and the medium of this ink was more satisfactory than those other pens that start with a P and end with a SCA. You won't be disappointed and you will definitely use them on so many different projects - to label, to color...to create a sunset with some dramatic color melding. Oh and the caps keep these dry and secure - they are always ready to use - you don't have to keep them horizontal like the coping ones...they function like a regular pen but the color payoff is worth the price of admission. You will love them.

These are the best thing ever. I reach for these over my Posca pens and all of my other acrylic markers. I have every color made and I hope more colors become available. They are vibrant, easy to control and they don’t puddle like pump pens can. These are ready to go right out of the package. Some colors are not as good on dark paper and if multiple coats are used, paper can pill. If used on wood, you cannot seal with a brush, they will smear. You can seal use a spray sealer.

These pens are magic. My 5 year old grand daughter is obsessed and so am I. Colors just like they say with no bleeding. My teenagers also used for memory boxes. They painted wooden boxes and used these markers over the paint and it covered flawlessly. The tip was perfect when needing to outline or precise details. Warning: You will never use other markers once you try them!

Hands down the best most fun markers on the market. I am a marker lover and have so many types of markers but these are amazing. They are like paint markers and sharpies combined. They don't bleed through the paper and have taken over as the favorite marker of the kids. We bought both sets of the marker colors and they are so vibrant and fun to write with. The tips are great and honestly you could get rid of all the markers and use these all the time and wouldn't be sad about it. They dry super quick so there is no smudging. We have had them for six months and they haven't dried out even a little.

These have become my favorite markers! The Earth tone colors are so nice! I love the subdued hues. Perfect for those who like to doodle, color, and draw.The variety in the earth tone colors is just what you’d want! Subdued but nice and bold colors. True “earth tones”.I love how these dry so quickly. I haven’t had any smearing or running!Quality of the markers is A+! I love the smoothness of each stroke! So much fun to use!

Coverage = pretty good. Ease of use = excellent! Color range = okay. Flow = great! Only one tip thickness available. Some surfaces require multiple coats. Dries fast. Biggest problem? Length of use. Even if you take good care of them, they run out quickly. Jury's out, for me, on whether they're worth the price. A promising new product that needs some improvement.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love these markers. I ordered the standard color set and the earth tone set. I’ve used them in coloring books (just chilling & killing + creepy cutie- they don’t bleed through the pages) and on the bears you can draw on. I’ve gotten the marker on my hands/fingers, and it comes off easily with rubbing alcohol. I wish the package was a resealable ziploc type bag instead of the plastic/cardboard as that doesn’t seal back up once opened. I put them in regular ziplock bags though. I would reorder!

They color on so many surfaces! My daughters colored wooden bird houses and they still look and use like new. Very durable and the colors are beautiful.
