Bianyo Sepia Micro Pen Set, 12 Assorted Sizes Fineliner Drawing Pens, Water-Resistant Archival and Pigment Ink Art Pens, Precision Drawing and Sketching Kit

I purchased the sepia set a year ago and Ive been using the fine liners to mark fabric for embroidery and other random things.I hadn’t really used the rest of the pens for sketching until today (almost a year after buying) and am pleased to find that they are all still juicy and functional.There are two pens that are just labeled “S” and “XS” that are amazing. I dont know what they are but theyre similar to brush tip pens but go much finer.I plan to purchase another set in black. I love the sepia. It reminds me a bit of natural walnut ink.

These write & draw well. I like the brown color and the variety of tip sizes.

I love that there’s so many different sizes. They work great. I bought a second set because I loosed them so much.

The sepia color is hard to accurately reproduce in the ads, apparently, but the ad photo above with the vase of flowers showing framed sepia ink drawings on the wall has the nearest to actual ink color, I believe. It is a mid dark grayed-Brown Sepia - not orange or sanguine as some other pens have.This traditional Sepia color ink is very like Staedtler's pigment liner ink. Glad to see Bianyo's entry into this ink color with such a nice set of pen tip sizes.Ink did not smear and did not reactivate when wet, so it works for my drawings. Only time will tell if there is any problem with fading, but they are off to a good start.****Would have rated higher but for missing pen. That's unacceptable and decreased the value.Have not used them long enough to have another reason to be unhappy with what I received EXCEPT for a pen missing from the set - the largest tip brush pen BM! The brush tip BS is a bit stiff, but will likely relax with use.

This is an edit to my original review. I originally bought the 9 pc Sepia Set. I see those aren’t sold like that now. After leaving the first review, someone from the company contacted me. They offered a refund and a replacement set of their newest version. I had to wait until they were done with production, but communication was great. I got the new set a few days ago. This set is a 12pc.-.005/.01/.02/.03/.04/.05/.08/1/Small brush/Medium brush/Small Calligraphy/Medium Calligraphy. I’ve just finished testing them. I love the new ones. The color IS different. They are more of an actual sepia/dark brown tone than the first batch. The ink is fully saturated in every size pen. Much better than the original set. I’m not a professional artist, but I do like to use these types of pens in my artwork. Customer service was awesome. I really appreciate them taking the time to make things right.(Original review was for three stars.)I’m not sure if it’s the brown color, the ink or the nibs, but these pens do not have the same saturation and quality of a different brand I own with black ink. You can see that the smaller the nib the lighter the ink. It should be thinner lines, not extremely lighter ink. They just seem dry.

We love our pen set, paints beautifully

I do line & wash watercolor paintings, these are a perfect addition to my painting box.

Require marking over several times to be dark enough, which can be difficult with the really fine ones. Some are good, some are dry.
