CaliartDual Tip Art Markers - 168 Colors, Permanent Alcohol Based, Ideal for Kids, Teens, Toddlers & Adults - Easter Basket Stuffers & Gift Drawing Supplies Kit

Great variety of color. Markers are nice and juicy! I ordered these along with a pastel set and I firmly believe I’ll use every single color. They are buildable and fun to work with! The ink flows smoothly and functions as it should. I’m new to “adult coloring” but it’s been smooth sailing so far with my new markers!

I purchased these markers as a more budget-friendly alternative to the Ohuhu brand, especially given the recent price increases due to tariffs. I decided to give them a try based on the value and I was genuinely impressed. The smooth application and vibrancy of the pastel shades exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed using them this morning and have already shared the product link with fellow coloring enthusiasts. Caliart has truly delivered a high-quality product at an accessible price point. Thank you for making creativity more affordable for everyone. The only things I wish were different is the color cart not having a gloss to it and I wish the bag had some kind of form to it to keep my markers better organized but that has nothing to do with the quality of the markers themselves. Love them!

A very good set for the price. I am a hobby artist and a beginner. So I didn’t want to spend too much on the high priced copic markers, but needed an equivalent of it. I do recommend this set for people like me. But beware that with less price, you would need to make some compromises (which I explain below), but definitely has room to fix it or have a work around (also mentioned below). I bought the 100 color set i.e., 99 colors + 1 colorless blender. Attaching pictures.Pic 1, 2 & 3: It’s the picture of the complete set. 99 colors + 1 colorless mixer. From top row - greens, blues, yellows, reds and the greys. The pens have a square barrel and hence it is easy to hold. The numbering on the caps are visible and indicates if it belongs to the set of greens (number starts with G), cool/warm/blue/green greys (CG/WG/BG/GG), reds (R) etc. Numbers are on the barrel and the caps on both ends. Numbers on a very few caps started to fade off.Pic 4: Swatches. A very good range of colors. They match very well with the colors on the cap.Pic 5: This is where I was a bit disappointed on. The case containing the pens is very thin, hence it doesn’t hold up the weight of pens.When the zipper is open and the top flap is flipped back, all the pens leans/falls over to the side making it difficult to see the color numbers on the cap (shape of the case is intact when the zipper is closed though). I fixed it by cutting a few pieces off of the Amazon cardboard box it was delivered in. I put one piece at the bottom and one piece each in the front and back. Now it holds everything up properly. That’s the next picture.Pic 6 & 7: With a bit reinforcement with cardboard pieces inside the pouch, all the pens stand upright.Pic 8: The fine tip side is black and broad/chisel tip side is white. So, with the caps on, a white and black strip is visible indicating broad and fine tip sides respectively.Pic 9: It shows how the color on the cap is visible from all sides.Pic 10: No noticeable bleeding with micron pens. My white gel pen was pretty visible on the darker shades.Pic 11: My attempt with marker coloring. When colors are added, it made definite streaks rather than blending with previous layer; I cud resolve it by giving another layer of the base color over the added color.

I love my markers. They are colorful, juicy ink but not overly juicy and color very nicely. Ive now used my markers 3 times and havent had any issues with them, besides some minor inconveniences.The plus: many reds, many blues, and many forms of whites. The markers apply ink very smoothly and beautifully. The thin tips are very nice plus for line work but are not super thin lines which to me is a plus. The ink hasnt seemed like it will dry anytime soon. Markers arent thin and fit in hand perfectly with no cramping.The minus: the ink does bleed through the paper but i think it also varies by paper thickness and quality. There aren't many pink, orange, and purple colors. There are a few bright light reds but limited pure pinks. There are also a few purples/violet blues but not many pure purples like lavendar. I wish there were more pure pinks and purples and less forms of white. There are soo many colors of like pastels red and yellows and forms of white. Also the bag/container is not very sturdy and firm unless its zipped up.Overall: for my first marker set i love them and would recommend them. They function smoothly and as intended. Have had no issues with the markers themselves. The colors are vibrant and gorgeous.

I recently got into alcohol markers - and have tried small sets of other brands, and this set comparatively had some issues, but overall were decent for the price.The one thing that stood out to me is these markers aren’t exactly “juicy” or high on the ink flow. While that may be comforting to beginners, it was something I actually wish it had. You have to do a lot more leg work to fill large spaces when the ink flow is not really there. And personally, I think it is better to learn marker techniques with higher ink flow.The other issue is I felt there was more opportunity with the color selection, I had a 35 piece set prior to this and found a lot of complimentary mid tones, but with this set i felt I was forced to do the color palette for my work differently because the colors that did have mid tones were stuck for certain shades (I.e. why so many olives but not many veridian or forest green shades) . Maybe I am not explaining it well or this is just an issue specific to my skill level, taste and style apologies.The blending is not bad - I am still learning that skill so I won’t judge the markers for my personal struggles with blending, but they blend okay .The reason I am still giving it 5 stars is because I did feel like I got the quality I paid for, and the colors don’t look bad at all, my issues had more to do with the amount of leg work required to create the effects I’m used to .With that being said, I think splurging an extra 20 bucks on a different brand might be better for the “slightly more than beginner” creator or someone with an artist background but new to markers .
