I'm comparing these to poscas because that's what I normally use for this art type and likely what you are comparing them against, I've only tested them with 2 artworks between my partner and I but here are the findings so far: I'll start with the pros: I like that these are a good alternative to posca for a fraction of the price (less than $1/marker VS over $2/marker), don't require shaking or the pressing on the tip to activate, and also don't decide at random to splurge the paint everywhere. The wide color selection in this set is amazing compared to usually much smaller posca sets. The brush tips are nice and wide and can get large areas filled with relative ease. Now the cons: At least one marker in this set was dry right out of the sealed box so keep in mind the quality may be inconsistent and it makes me wonder how long some of them may last before running out. Being water based instead of oil based like posca I think maybe why the color feels like it is slightly trickier to lay down evenly without getting layered variation (top strokes saturating underneath and causing darker areas). This is a minor gripe though and once you figure out how to do it this doesn't affect much. The brush tip is a bit wide and can make drawing fine and precisely placed lines a bit difficult though there are other sets with different tips I may try in the future. The take-away: If you're looking to try posca color-blocking style art and want a wide color selection with a lower price point and don't mind a bit of gamble on marker life-span and a little learning curve on laying it down I think these are great. I already ordered a different set by the same company for my sister who's been eye-balling my poscas hungrily.

Am thoroughly enjoying this acrylic marker set and another I purchased. Nice selection of colors that go on smoothly and can be layered. Some streaking but that can be minimized with another layer of color. Like the line/coverage variations of the brush tips. I've been using mixed media paper and find its smoother texture works well for these markers. No bleed through.

Amazing! Decently opaque markers. I work on thin cardboard and these markers are perfect for that. On normal paper they are even smoother! Tip is like a brush, but stiffer. Perfect for coloring in big areas and small lines. They do wear out after hard use but if you take care of the tip it will hopefully stay stiff enough. (Only a few of mine have softened) The marker drying time is amazing. I hate waiting for markers to dry because I work in short bursts so this is perfect. So so good! Buy them! There is no pastel blue. Just so you know. The only thing barring me from buying the biggest pack is the price. These are worth it though!

These markers are exceptionally easy to blend on paper, which so far is the only surface I have used them on. As you can see in the attached pictures, which is a coloring sheet by Chet Minton from his Etsy shop, they are very opaque, and if the first layer is not opaque enough, the second layer will definitely cover your surface. They lay down smoothly, and I love the fact that you don't have to shake them up like the standard paint pen and then press until the paint is in the nib. The brush tip makes them easy to apply whether it's a tiny space or a wide swath of area to be covered. I do intend to use these on rocks and shells as well as paper, but my primary Art Space is portraits and drawings, as well as coloring for fun. So of course I tested them out on a coloring page. My only quibble is that if you leave the cap off without using the marker constantly, like if you're using two markers to blend and you're not using the pen for a minute or two, the unused pens have a tendency to dry up and you have to wipe it on a blank sheet of paper to get the paint flowing again. I'm not talking about leaving the pen on your drafting table for hours, I'm talking about just holding on to it while you work the other color onto your surface and then coming back to that pen to blend it, it will be too dry to actually get any paint out of it. But it's not completely dry you just have to remember to swipe it on a piece of paper before you go in and try to blend it. That, and the little stickers that they supply you with to identify the pens do not stay stuck. So if you're going to use them, I suggest taking Scotch tape and putting it on over the stickers. But that's a minor nitpicky thing for me. Overall, these are paint pens that any artist or Crafter should have in there toolbox. Will buy again.

These markers are GREAT when they actually work. They layer nicely, are vibrant and saturated, and they dry quickly. Immediately out of the box 4 out of my 36 felt dried out and un usable. Luckily after dipping the nibs in water they seem to have been revived. I think the company should have labeled the markers with their color code. Putting on the stickers individually wasn't a hassle but a lot of the colors on the sticker are inaccurate to the ink color and if your stickers come off there is no other way to identify the color of your marker outside of the cap or switching it yourself. I haven't had them long so I can't speak on their longevity but I hope in the future the company offers a way to refill these or at least a way to buy them individually. Tldr: these are great markers but have room for improvement I recommend getting them when they're on sale

I’m an art teacher and let me say, if there was one tool I could get for all my students it would be these markers! They are incredibly fun and easy to get used to. I use them for my personal sketchbook work. -They flow easily and oh so smooth -The colors match the caps -They are bright and opaque -You can layer easily once dry -They dry super fast! -can use in any paper type with no bleed through I’ve tried just about every marker out there and for a “paint” marker these excellent above the rest. As far as markers go they are super versatile. You can use them on THIN paper and it won’t bleed through. ****I have purchased these now in August and December 2023 and the formula AND marker itself has changed. The colors are no longer the same as the previous version. The markets shown are not what you will currently receive. I’ve reached out to ARRTX about this

I really enjoy these markers! First time using acrylic markers and I think these are good for a beginnger. The colors are opaque and bright. I appreciate the color variations.

I ordered these as a little treat because I love trying new art supplies and my friend has a set of paint pens (we're art students). This set was wayyy beyond expectations. They're incredibly smooth, work on a variety of surfaces (they work best on non-porous ones, though), pretty opaque, and the colors are super nice. The only con is the lightest purple arrived completely dried out, and two of the three blues look pretty damn similar which is a little unfortunate, but not enough of an issue to remove a star in my opinion due to how high quality these are for the price. I've been using them to quickly test colors on my doodles for sticker designs, but they'd work awesome for making holiday or birthday cards or something.

These acrylics are so smooth and dry quick,great colour range.

So good!!!

Amazing product!

Bin absolut begeistert. Sie sind sehr leicht zu handhaben, die Spitze ist relativ stabil um auch eher kleinere Details zu malen- wenn diese nicht schön wurden war mir immer klar das das an meiner Hand Kontrolle lag und nicht an den Stiften; klar ist das schwieriger mit solchen brush Tips. Die Stifte decken auch super übereinander. Im Bild ein Beispiel was ich damit gemalt habe, und das rötliche habe ich direkt über das schwarze gemalt, mit einer zweiten Schicht wäre es komplett deckend. Einziges Manko ist für mich die farbauswahl. Ich habe diese Packung gekauft im glauben das ich sie eher für Nischen Projekte verwenden würde, aber da ich sie jetzt häufiger einfach auf Papier für Zeichnungen verwende muss ich immer wieder etwas tricksen da so „Standard“ Farben eher fehlen. Tja, werd ich mir wohl das andere Paket auch kaufen müssen! ;)

Love these markers, they work super well on wine glasses, trading card binders, etc… For clear backgrounds you’ll need to apply multiple layers but it turns out great in the end
