Skin Tone Art Markers, 30 Flesh Colors Alcohol Based Markers Pens Set, Dual Tips Brush&Broad for Professional Artists Drawing Sketch Portrait Comics Coloring

I go through a lot of skin tone. Unfortunately my go-to's are mostly earth tones, and ohuhu doesn't sell individual brush tip markers in my common colors. I bought three sets of these on a gamble and it paid off. Plenty of options for cell shaders like myself, good terminator colors. I store these facing brush down since I don't use the chisel tip, keeps them nice and juicy. I noticed the nibs do fuzz out if you go crazy, gotta be gentler than you can with Copic or ohuhu. If you are a high volume 'nude' artist with an appetite for high coverage of skin tones, this might be the way to go. I had more examples to share, but most are naughty.

I love these markers! You do need to put a thin piece of cardboard behind the page you’re coloring because otherwise it will bleed onto the next page, but I see that as a good thing. The markers are smooth and easy to work with. I put an example of a coloring page used with these markers. Other alcohol markers I got (different manufacturers) tear up the pages and way over soaked them. These leave the pages as-is, and dry quick. The others I have warp and tear up the page. Definitely worth purchasing. Just wish there were more colorful options. Lots of greys and browns, and not as much differentiation in colors. It seems kind of random what colors were chosen to go in. I like how they work though!

Love these markers. Ink flows wonderfully and the colors are vibrant. Would have given 5 stars except I just grabbed this sand colored marker to use and it was cracked and nib fell out. Of course the marker is completely dried out so I can not even use the chisel tip. 😩 it’s the only defective one I’ve found in the set so far and overall these markers are just as good as the more expensive brands.

Just perfect!

Only problem I have is the lack of variety for dark skin tones, it’s about 5 darker tones and 25 light tones within the whole pack. Lots of blush tones which I like. I do like the tones that’s are provided though, they show up well on paper. Love that it comes with a fine tip pen as well! The brush nibs feel similar to copic’s, very smooth and flexible. They do bleed through paper (I have the Illo sketchbook for reference) but it does depend on your paper too, the markers didn’t bleed onto the next page. I would suggest putting a piece of copy paper between pages while you draw to avoid ink bleeding into the next page.

I LOVE the brush tip because it makes blending so easy. I love the way the colors layer each other. They do bleed through the paper so be aware of that and do a few test marks before doing a final draft. Also, depending on the tooth of your paper the colors will appear lighter or darker. For instance, a glossy paper will make colors appear lighter and more washed out versus like the watercolor paper I used here that made the colors appear more vibrant and darker. Overall, wonderful set of flesh tones that layer beautifully and great for beginners too!

I was surprised by the difference in the color on the marker cap compared to the actual color when used on paper. Many of these colors were very different from the cap color, and many of them were almost identical to other colors in the set. I was also unimpressed with how much these markers bleed- it's difficult if you're using a coloring book or other template with set lines. The larger end of the markers was also very difficult to use, so I'll probably only use the small ends moving forward. All of that being said, the markers were pretty inexpensive. I may invest in higher quality ones later on, but these are definitely sufficient for now.

My kid loves her set. Bought them for Christmas and 7 months later and every day use in school they are still going STRONG! Storage is amazing as well. Every pen has its own little spot in the case.
