I have these markers too, and have noticed the same flaws, but also I love them for what they are good at. Since the ink flow is a lot slower than other markers, and they have such a fine tip, I'm able to color tiny areas without ink seeping outside the lines.They are bad for coloring large areas like you said, totally true, although it is slightly better if you tip the brush completely on its side. The other sets of 5 have the same quirky mix of warms and cools, and since there are only 5 colors, it makes it hard to use on their own without other markers. I grabbed the sets because I was interested in the particular colors that were in them, not to use as a stand alone. My final sentiment is that the colors are *amazing*. They are delicately vibrant and I love love love them. Plus, they have gorgeous purples! I am constantly grabbing P606, P636, and P679. Hope you continue to use the ones you have for small detailed areas, and also kinda hope Tombow works to improve the product too (Like, there are no labels on the ends and the caps and don't nest! D= ). Thanks for making all the reviews that you do =)
For some reason michaels products like alcohol markers have been dry when I purchased them. A few years ago I purchased spectrum noir markers from michales and not even a week later and nearly using the markers most of the two sets of markers dried out on me. So I returned them again and got new sets from the same store and behold same results. I don’t know why but it has been my luck to get dry markers from Michaels and I tried their artist loft markers and they dried out quick on me too and some weird growth was growing on the marker brush and chisel nib parts. It’s like Michaels is the home of dried markers and markers come to dry there
ive bought straight-up rock-solid tubes of paint from michaels. n theyre paints they *should* be selling a lot of; liquitex basics. literally the whole entire giant tube was completely unusable. not even paint. iunno if its covid or what, but they rly need to make sure their art supplies r in perfect condition as a bare minimum of being a fucking art store. if u ever have someone pick up paints for u, from michaels, tell them to feel all the tubes n get the squishiest one. if they have any hard ones u can be an upstanding citizen n go take em to the front n be like, ur paint is broken here. then maybe theyll stock more.
I have a set of these. I have quite a few of the water based ABT’s, that I bought the carry case from Tombow to hold them. I thought if I get these they will fit in the case alongside the water based markers. It looked like they were identical to the water based markers except in the barrel color. But of course they don’t fit at all. I am glad I only bought one of these small sets, otherwise I will have to find another way to store them..
Yes, it is! It's the HP Color Laser Jet Pro M254dw. I am generally pretty happy with it, but I will recommend against using knock off toner drums, as that's permanently messed up mine.
"It's like you're paying for the privilege to be miserable!" Haha! Too snarky? Grief, no. _Honest._ If it's flawed, it's flawed. It's the _maker's_ job to soft-soap me! I like the monochrome illustration you came up with here. Gives a feeling of sunlight through upper leaves, casting green on everything. I gotta keep watching if that's what you do with _bad_ markers.
Thank you, you're too kind! I had a lot of fun doing the narration for this one- they were juuuust bad enough that they bring out the snark in me, and I didn't feel too guilty gunning for Tombow, as they generally make great products and really should know better!
@@Nattosoup bruh copic chisels r the bees knees, also literally like, 4 distinct, super easy lines: full horizontal slide, half horizontal slide, vertical slide, edge/corner. theyre deeeeefinitely not cheap *or* subpar quality, n the more different brands i try the more i love my copics which tbh shouldnt even be possible to love any more than i did on day one lol. they also look sooooooo beautiful n feel borderline sexual. i barely even use the chisel but every now n then i use it on a small scratch sheet of xpress it, just to feel its powerful lusty allure. i mean u can literally *see* the quality in the nibs. one thing i do wanna use the chisel more for, is textural work, but ive developed my brush control a lot lately, n i dont even know if thats a valid use for the chisel. but i still like using it on scratch sheets just cuz it feels soooo goooooood. one thing i think they need to work on for water-based n india ink markers, like the pitt pens, is like... those rigid nibs r beautiful for beginners but u switch back over to ur copics n ur like... oh... oooh yeah, oh yeah thats nice.
