I can't be the only person who finds watching her use these pens SO relaxing. Its not the sound of the pens, I don't like that sound at all. Its the way she moves the pen so smoothly and with no mistakes along with her calming voice. I can't even write in a card with out doing a ruff draft on another piece of paper. LOL
I watch this particular video for many times so satisfying to have them been compared and watching you write with those pens...you make it look so easy, plus the colour is so pretty!!!
Thanks for such a thorough review! I have used Tombow, Staedtler Mars & Marvy Le Plume II, but not for lettering. I have used these watercolor brush markers for coloring books and pre-printed images. Like you, I have found Tombow to be the highest quality overall. Marvy Le Plume II colors are vivid and super intense, so much so that it can make delicate blending more difficult. Plus the fine point tip is very hard and can easily pill the paper. I rarely used them and don’t use the fine tips that much on any markers. The Staedtler Mars brush markers are very good in terms of beautiful vivid colors and great blendability. The brush end was not as long and maybe not as flexible as Tombow, but that doesnt bother me that much. I had two big problems with SM: As far as I know, you can only purchase sets and there are NO individual marker colors available. This is a big let down and negative in my opinion and virtually guarantees that I won’t be purchasing SMs again. This was particularly annoying as I fell in love with their light blue turquoise and used it a lot and really wanted more of it, but couldn’t get it without buying another entire set. The 2nd negative was that when I stopped using SMs and started using Tombows, I stored the SMs for a good long while in the original plastic storage. When I pulled them out to use again, I found a fuzzy growth around the brush end of most of the markers. I think you mentioned something about this occurring in some markers? You attributed it to some chemical change related to “salts?” I just thought of it as developing mold-like growth because the markers were kept in my basement under the couch. But whatever it is, it seems to be a flaw in SMs color formulations. And all of my other markers are kept in the basement too and have never developed any fuzzy growth. I just wiped off the fuzz and could still use them, but still, this can’t be a good thing. I think you said that this chemical change results in making the colors less vibrant or something? I didn’t really use them again that much to tell the difference. Whew! That’s it. I just wanted to pass on my coloring experience with the brands noted. Thanks again for your helpful reviews!
I also loooove the Staedler colors! So vibrant! I found this brand: Edding. They are SO SO good. Definitely my favorites for practicing. The nib doesn't fray quickly, the're firm but bounce back, super thin lines and perfect thicks. I'm obsessed! I found them at my local art store for just $15 for a pack of 10. Worth it. I also have a ton of Tombows that i try not to use because i'm afraid of fraying them lol. ugh... the struggle is real
I have the tombow, and although I really like them, they are crazy expensive, squeak a LOT and they had a bit of a rip in them, even though I did not apply crazy pressure to it.
A REALLY good watercolor paper you could use for your pens...guaranteed not to fray your tips because it is smooth as butter is the " Fabriano Studio Watercolor" paper. Hot press! It is only 25% cotton so the price point is great! I paid $25 for 50 sheets on Amazon. A tip for you on the pen that had the fine liner tip on one end....take the time to fill the area in completely like you did with the other pens with larger nibs and you will get better movement out of your color. I have the Arteza water based Inkonic 120 set of fine liners...same nib as the pen you didn't like...and I use them for watercolor all the time. Even on regular cardstock. Some pens it's how you lay the medium down on the paper. Hope that helps! Great video! Thanks so much!
Thanks for putting so much time into this video! :) I think I'll swing by Michael's tomorrow and buy some individual brush pens and find out what I like.
The crayola brush pens are really good for lefties. They can be used a ton and don't fray. Lefties tend to fray other pens pretty fast because all the pushing movements to make the same shapes.
Personally I love the Artist's Loft love their lack of noise but found them to fray much faster than the dual brush pens personally prefer the dual brush pens and kuretake's gonna try the staedtlers and extra brands sometime
I seem to always find the Marvy Le Plume on sale so they are what I’ve been using as a beginner and it’s so nice to get an honest review about how they differ from the Tombow! I feel like the skinny end of my pens is almost useless (but thank goodness they match! Crazy crayola.) Thanks much!
If you don't live in the US, the Artist's Loft ones are pretty much exactly the same as the ones from WHSmith (I live in england not sure if there are whsmiths else ware)
I like to use my few waterbased tombow´s like watercolor and not only for artful writing ... I like to create fluffy watercoloreffects and I can mixing the colors what I need on any water-resist place, sometimes is also a combination with a waterbrush on watercolor paper very useful. just for fun > a few dot´s are enough and you can get awesome pretty flowers with a little bit water 😊 I know that not all brushpen´s from other brands are in the same good quality with both tips on each end.
Honestly I've never had a tombow brush pen nib fray but the ink has run out on two so far. To be fair I usually use them for colouring and not handlettering but it's nice to see other experiences.
RIVERTHOUGHTS I’ve had my black tombow for over a year. I don’t use it all the time because I have other brush pens I prefer in black, but I definitely have used it a lot. I’ve even used it to color entire pages black. It’s slightly less inky, but still works well, and there’s no noticeable fraying. I would say the ink has lasted on this brush pen more than any other brush pen I’ve used (except Crayola- they last awhile too, but I’m not a huge fan of the nibs.)
My first pack of brush pens, I bought the Marvy Le Plume 2 and they frayed so bad after a couple of uses. I don’t like the nib on those at all. The color in are awesome and easy to control. I’m heavy handed and I love the artist loft because they are more firms than the Tombow. Tombows are more pigmented like you said.
I love Crayola broadline for beginners or Pentel touch brush pens. Also Kuretake fudebiyori! Those are my top three for beginners. I talk about them in some of my other videos!
Thank you for this video, I've been debating on trying a dual brush pen for lettering instead of watercolor paints and this helped me decide to wait until a good sale. I prefer to use watercolor or thicker paper since it would primarily be for cards and signs.
Thank you for this review! My sister-in-law had the Crayola dual pens on her wish list. Based on this review, I made the decision to get her the Tombow dual pens instead.
@@EnsignInsights You're so welcome! I have been binge watching your channel and I love your content! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into everything!
Tombow Dual Brush Pens are my favourite "broad" brush pens, which the Tombow Fudenosuke Hard and Soft Tip Pens are my favourite "Thin" brush pens. Also, there are also Michaels stores in Canada. 😊
I just did a sketch using Tombow Dual Brush Pens and I love their colors but they tore into the paper of my bullet journal made with sturdy professional acid free paper, which promises no ghosting or bleeding. Very vibrant sketch however. I love the Arteza fine liners but they are not dual, and they are not brushes. I usually use artists sketchbooks but I just began my bullet journal journey.
Ensign Insights hi, I added some pretty cardstock to the other side of the page today. Seems fixed. I won’t be doing any heavy sketching in that journal again. Just some light strokes for a splash of pastel colors from the Tombow brushes.
Judith Morgan hi, I like Arteza but I bought some Winsor and Newton markers. They are watercolor but I was thinking if no one added water then they’d stay looking like a marker entry in my sketchbook or BuJo.
Thank you for the insightful review! Will definitely be watching more videos on your channel. I want to get some paper and a notebook to practice my calligraphy but I don’t know what kind is best, do you have any recommendations?
There’s also the Zig Clean Color brush markers that seem to be getting more well-known and that I think get high marks. I don’t own any so can’t say, but I think Amazon has some small sets that are pretty affordable.
do you use the Koi brush pens? I like the feel, they aren't dual tipped, and the Arteza brush pens are another good choice. Rhodia paper and the smooth Fabriano paper seem to work, but fraying .... there's got to be an inventive way to fix our many nibs... kind of like a pencil sharpener shape with fuzz remover adjustable 'blades' ... that would be a very worthwhile invention... not a tombow fan, with the exception of their monotwin dual point marker, and fudenosuke brush pens... more practice would help, but i love the pentel brush pens, they're easier to work with. And the Sakura, faber castell, and artist loft brush pens are great for more art-y coloring than writing...like the colors and varieties, sort of like different ink pads for art jouralling, varieties in color palettes and water- vs alcohol- vs india ink vs whatever offer more layering options, and shading, but not great (imho) for lettering.
Hello there Sarah, such a nice go through of all pens now, I consider buying Tombow though the price is a lot since I'm in India !😊 And I'm so sorry if there is a mistake in the spelling of your name!
I started on Artists Loft, and then got Tombows. I found that the Tombows fray REALLY quickly, which is a big disappointment because they are really expensive. But the tombows have a much better color range. I have heavily used the artists loft, and they are fraying and running out of ink. (The fraying is so bad it’s almost unusable). So I use the artists loft for just casual lettering and Tombows for nice projects.
Oh man! Thanks for sharing your experience!! That’s what I was thinking. Artist loft has less ink but Tombow frays faster. But they both eventually fray because of how the nib is! Thanks for watching and for your feedback! 👍
I use artist’s loft and I love them! From all the videos I’ve watched, tombows look and act exactly like artist’s loft. I use artist’s loft because they are cheaper and from what I see, ( being eleven, I don’t have a lot of money! ) they are the same as tombows. I think I’m going to look for tombows on Amazon now though!
The Artist's Loft is a great option for sure! You can find packs of tombow on amazon for cheaper than at Michaels so that's definitely something to look into :) Thanks for watching!
Hey can u do a review of the marvy brush pen, I’m pretty sure they are the same brand as the marvy Le plume 2 and marvy colourin. However they are only 1 sided. I also think that the marvy Le plume 2 has the 2, to show that it has 2 different sides on the pen, the fine tip and the brush tip
Now I looked at it I don’t think that they are for brush lettering as the official website says that they are the “ultimate tool for rubberstamping” but could you still try them out to see if they would work??
You have a the most calm quiet voice like you're telling a story to me for bedtime heheh
Oh thank you! I’m glad it’s calming 😊
But the pen doesn’t

"I have too many pens... Said no one ever"
Me: You're wrong...
*has 1,000,000,000 pens missing*
Mom: I need a pen. Leah. Go find one of those pens that have been missing for who knows how long.
it seems like everyone recommends tombow dual brush pens for beginners but i disagree and i'm glad you feel the same way!!
Yes! Hey definitely take a lot of practice to get used to!
*They 😂
Me too!
What do you guys recommend for beginners then? :) thanks in advance!
Amanda Williamson agree with u
my tombows never make that squeaking noise, i think you might be pressing too hard while lettering
New ones sometimes do and also depending on your grip.
Hannah Blidy my tombows make a bit of a squeaky noise but not nearly as much as hers
ASMR lol
Same she presses so hard
Same
I personally think she pushes just the right amount.
You're hand lettering is so gorgeous BTW 😍
Same
All I can is that tombow will always by my favorite
I watch this particular video for many times so satisfying to have them been compared and watching you write with those pens...you make it look so easy, plus the colour is so pretty!!!

Your voice is very calming and this review was very helpful and informative, wish all reviews were straight to the point and helpful like this :)
My thoughts exactly! 🙌🏼
FINALLY SOMEONE REVIEWS ARTIST'S LOFT! YAY. Thank You!
I read the word “Tombow,” on the thumbnail as “tampon.” 🤦🏾♀️😂

Edding makes my favorite pen! I believe it's a German company... can't remember
Going from the tombow squeak to artists loft was insane😅
Owen 99 I have no idea why it’s so different! 😂
I have the tombow, and although I really like them, they are crazy expensive, squeak a LOT and they had a bit of a rip in them, even though I did not apply crazy pressure to it.
Yes! They definitely fray quickly which makes it hard to get nice thin upstrokes!
Its not expensive tho
um it 2 to 3 bucks a marker

@@tsukishimakeisglasses4334some markers are like 30 cents per marker.

For Crayola you should use the supertip pack
We also have Michaels in Canada…..go figure,eh ? Lol
*shudders in just bought tombow pens yesterday full price with no experience of brush pens*
Oof. I have them in my Amazon cart right now but I wanted to see some reviews before I finalized my order!
Well now you can experience them! Have fun practicing! 😊
Amazon is normally the best price for a pack of them so that is a good way to go if you decide you want them!

Have you tried mildliner by zebra? It's pretty close to tombow and a dollar or 2 less.
I got a pack of Artist's loft for $8 for 6 using the coupon. I like the AL better tha. the Tombow I have.

I have had my to bows for over a year and they didn't fray at all. Try holding it at more at an angle. Also if it squeaks try pressing less
Ther is one more, almost similar! I have them and they are ZIG something like that.
Wow, you're really good!
Do the staedler pens bleed through your journal because I beleive tombow don't
I had tombow but i had sakura too.The sakura can last long only in 2 months but the tombow can last a year.
