This review is for EBOT microfine liner drawing pens. The set has 12 black fine liner waterproof pens. As other reviews stated, the labeling of the pens is a bit confusing to me. I also wouldn't consider this a set of fine liners. Usually, fine liners are considered between 0.5mm and 0.7mm and there are some larger tips in this set. There is a nice range of tip sizes in this set. The black is crisp and dark. The flow of all the pens worked well. I did not try to see if these were waterproof but they did not smudge on any of the papers I used them on. The one disappointment is that the chisel tip was damaged the first time I used it because it was very hard to get it back into the cap and I didnt have it lined up perfectly. Something on the inside of the cap dented the chisel tip. I tried very hard to get it back in straight but it just caught. Overall, this is a great set that would be appropriate for artists of all experience. Read more
A nice set of off-brand artist fineliner markers. If you are familiar with the mainline brand, Sakura, then you will recognize the size and shape of these pens right away. After testing them out, the performance is similar, but at a fraction of the final cost. And no one will know that they aren't the mainline brand from a distance! Let's face it - it is about putting ink to paper, not about brands, so if you want to fuel your artistry without breaking the bank, this is the way to go. Nice assortment of tips in this set as well, and I imagine it would be good for modeling as well. Overall, this is a great starter set if you are lookng for black pens at a great price. Read more
This pack of 12 black art pens contains a good collection of pens with tips of different widths to allow for more versatility in drawing. As you can see in my photo, the difference in the widths of some of the pens is quite subtle, but the set still provides a good amount of variety. I have not used the pens long enough to see if they will be long lasting, but the overall quality appears to be good. I give them four stars because of the numbering system used to identify the pens. As shown in my photo, the numbers are not at all consecutive nor are the pens lined up in any rational way. One very thin-tipped pen will be immediately followed by a pen that is much thicker, which is then immediately followed by another thin pen. I will have to rearrange the pens to go from thickest to thinnest or vice versa. Another slight annoyance is that it is difficult to get the pens back into the package once they are removed. Because of the pretty annoying numbering convention and random ordering of the pens, though the quality and variety of the pens is good, I would not purchase a second set in the future. Read more
I have just started doing watercolor painting and many of the tutorials I'm following talk about outlining with a fineline waterproof pen. These pens are absolutely perfect for the job! There are multiple different widths and nibs--from the true fineline to a brush to a chisel calligraphy type tip. The ink is vivid black, and after they dry they are truly waterproof. I don't get any bleeding into my painting. The value is fantastic as well, less than $10 for 12 pens is a great value. I say skip the high priced brands and pick these up because they are perfect for any outlining or fine lining in art work. Read more
I recently ordered "EBOT Micro Fineliner Drawing Art Pens,12 Black Fine Liner Waterproof Art Line Professional Drawing Watercolour Marker Sketching Illustration Manga Calligraphy Sketch Zentangle Outline" for $9.99. I draw doodles every day, usually zentangle, and I was looking for some new and affordable fine-tip pens. This set is very comparable to the higher-priced pens I usually order. There is a great selection of nib sizes, which is perfect whether I’m doing thicker filling or working on very fine details. One tip: make sure you use light pressure with the smaller nibs, or they might push up into the pen body. My only real wish is that the ink was a slightly darker, deeper black, but for the price, they are excellent. Rating: 4/5 Stars I chose 4 stars because these pens offer a fantastic variety of sizes and perform nearly as well as professional brands. I deducted one star because the ink isn't quite as dark as I’d like and the smaller nibs feel a bit delicate. Read more
