Artify Alcohol Brush Marker Review (108 Assorted & 24 Skin Tone sets)

- Today we are looking at the Artify dual-ended alcohol brush markers. I will be reviewing the following sets (affiliate links used)
108 Brush Marker set of Assorted colors: amzn.to/39KOsL0
24 Skin tone set: amzn.to/3qA6iqN
Product details:
The markers have a matte white rounded triangular barrel with a plastic numbered color chip on each cap. They have a brush tip on one end and a chisel tip on the other. No color name on the barrel and the caps do not stack on the other end. These use the same marker body as the Arrtx Alp, Old style Bianyo markers and Altenew Markers, and probably others. The color-coding system match Bianyo, Altenew, and Cali art markers. They range in price from .55 and .79 per marker depending on the size pack. They come in a nice, sturdy carrying and storage case with dividers to make it easy to separate the color in blending families.
Pros:
Low Price
Nice case
Blends and layers well
Nice assortment of colors
Includes swatch card
Color chips are pretty accurate
The barrel and caps feels high quality (thick, matte plastic) and is comfortable to hold.
Cons:
Inconsistent placement of chisel tip (you will want to pull some out and reseat them)
Fiber brush nib (not foam rubber Japanise tip like Copic)
There are some duplications between sets but also unique colors in each set meaning you would need to buy all sets to get all of the colors but you will have doubles this way of some colors. There were 3 duplications between the skin tone and 108 sets.
Bottom line: These are great for the price. I would compare the quality of the nibs with Ohuhu. On their listing, they say their nibs are higher quality and not reversible like Ohuhu but when I pulled the nib out of the clear marker it looked to be identical. I had hoped since they made this claim, that the markers would have the rubber tip but that is not the case. You could however replace them with the Altenew nibs that are better quality if they run out: shrsl.com/2qlpk *You can refill with Altenew alcohol inks as well if they carry the color. Altenews range is smaller so not every color will be available but it's nice to know that's an option. Overall I think they are worth it for the price and the carry case is very nice. I love it when a company sells a product in useful and reusable packaging.

Not gonna lie, I giggle a little every time Lindsay sniffs markers 😅
I can't tell you how helpful your comparison videos are. I'm about to start in on alcohol markers and am totally unwilling to pay Copic prices. I'd settled on Altenew til I saw your videos. Now I'm pretty set on Ohuhu. Thanks!
They are both good options:)
I know right! I have bought the bianyo 168 set and artify 108 set
"Cupcakes are not cakes in a cup ,as in childhood I thought.My mother told me,you can eat them with the paper".
Love the colors,another great video Lindsay.🌹
These are beautiful markers , I love the case they come in too
Thank you for another very fair review. I have markers, so don’t need any, but always love to listen to your thoughts on products!
I love the pastels. I may opt for this set over buying the Ohuhu pastels....when my Ohuhu markers run dry, whatever decade that happens to be ;-). That case alone would cost $30.
Thank you for your marker reviews. I finally made a decision and bought both 108 and 23 skin colour markers by Artify. I received the skin colours today and really like them. They are added to some Copic, Spectrum Noir and Touch 5 markers. I will put Arrtx on my future wish list.
I have been curious about these - thank you for sharing this.
I’m excited for the cupcake tutorial! 🧁 🤩
I love that your reviews are always fair and balanced. Thanks for all of the information and comparisons!
Lindsay, THANK YOU for this video! This is seriously THE most helpful thing for me that you've ever posted--and that's saying something, haha! I love my old-style Bianyo brush markers and I'm so excited to know that there's a refill option out there for at least some of them. It'd be such a waste to throw them away when they run out! I would have never figured this out on my own, so again thank you so much! I hope the Altenew marker line expands so there's lots of refill options. If only they had a chisel tip, I'd pick some up. It looks like Altenew has done a great job picking really beautiful colors for their line. I just can't give up my chisel tip!
I'm so glad! I am bummed that I didnt but the set of 60 refills when they were 60% off on black friday, I talked myself out of it. Regrets.
Very helpful. I don't have any markers of any kind; always been a bit hesitant to try.... but you always make it look fun and always lovely artwork
Oh, I love that you can exchange the brush and chisel nibs! I recently had to do brush nib surgery with a blick brush nib for my discontinued neopiko deleter marker. The neopiko brush nib weirdly deflated. I don’t know if it’s the same as the fraying that you were talking about. Let me tell you, slicing away at that expensive brush nib with a utility knife was terrifying.
Lindsey i watch at least two of your videos every day. Plus you speak so fast i tend to watch every video twice. (I don't mean that as a criticism!) You are responsible for all of my watercolor growth the past year. Now i can almost call myself an artist! This weeks Sat chat you were bummed about UA-cam algorithm... Dont be! You're videos are consistent in tone, length, and schedule. At the same time your channel is diverse every week there is something for everyone. And keep your audience well informed. You're doing everything right. This community is here for you, keep making beautiful art, and professional informative entertaining videos. Do what brings you joy!
Aww, thank you!
I have Artify 80 ct but got the bag instead of the plastic case. I like Artify and use them along with my Colorya markers. Good review!
Beautiful set of markers. Thanks for telling us about them.
Beautiful brush markers! For me their price is very expensive 😒. I must buy them but I will buy oleep brush markers with little price. Artyfy are beautiful colors and complete colors, many many colors😲😲😲!!! Hi Lindsay 🙂🙂
Thank you Lindsay! I don't need any markers but i do want more of the rubber tiped kind and I am leaning towards Bianyo professional brush set. I have the smallest set (12) no longer found on Amazon and they are yummy! I haven't met an alcohol marker that I don't like yet though!
I got the artify 108 set for Christmas, for the price I was impressed! Heck the case was worth at least half the price of the markers in my opinion. Thanks for the review I was curious to see what you thought of them
Thanks Lindsey. Very informative review. You are always so honest and I appreciate that.
Great review, Lindsay! I love the tie In With Altenew colors and if I finally decide to give I to that bug because the colors are so pretty, I can get a much larger set with the same colors for less money and just get the refills and new nibs from altenew! Or just suck it up and use the markers I have, lol!
Thanks for the thorough review Lindsay.
Thanks so much for the review. I would love to see a video on how you colored the cupcake. Was that with the Artify markers?
Yes, it will be up on Sunday I think...
If you could get around to reviewing the Croma markers Lindsay, that would be great! I'm crossing the Artify markers off my list. Brush /felt nib is a deal breaker for me. Great review. Thanks❤️
Thank you for the scent comparison!
Such a good review. Man, I am such a marker fiend. Love the case for these. Question for you Lyndsay: I’ve been wondering, could you stick a Copic brush nib into an Ohuhu or Artify etc marker??? ETA: Stoked for the cupcake tutorial!!!!!
That should work although I'd buy the blick studio, altenew or art-n-fly nibs as they are the same quality but $2-$3 cheaper per pack.
Thanks Lindsay. Wow. Really great price. 👍💜
I ordered these markers just now since they are on a sale on amazon for $42.50 for the 108 set. Hope it is a decent set. The low price makes me really anxious! 😅
They are good, enjoy!
You do the best reviews!
Thanx 4 the review Lindsay👍🏾💯❤️. Hugz
Can give me a link to the three different markers, so I can check out the prices, thank you
Let's sniff some markers 🤣🤣🤣 Oh look same color 🤣🤣🤣 I Love Your Videos Lindsay! ❤😘
So…. Ohuhu or Artify? Do you have a favorite between them now? Or too similar?
Too similar to call. Ohuhu has a better color range and since they are round you dont have to deal with the chisel nib sitting weird like you do with artify triangle barrel. That said artify is cheaper and comes with a better case and more logical swatch and color number system. The nibs and ink seem comparable tho either way.
@@thefrugalcrafter very helpful to know! I haven’t found other cheap brands that came close to Ohuhu before now, so this is great news in general for the coloring community!
Another great review-thank you!!!
Great review. Thank you for sharing
Great review Lindsay, looking forward to the cupcake tutorial. I really don't use my chisel tip, what do you use it for? 😊
Just looked on the link and they're currently unavailable ☹️
Bummer. I'll double check my links. I like it for large areas of color, strait lines and blending if I don't have a brush. You can quickly switch from thin and thick lines too. I like to work fast so a chisel is good for that.
Interesting watch thanks for this.
I have the 40 set and you know the nibs aren’t the best because most come frayed but I absolutely love the ink and since it was just an add on set the nibs didn’t bother me too much.
Those are the ones with the different shaped bodies right?
@@thefrugalcrafter yup!
I know this an old video, but thought you might be interested in this tidbit! another UA-camr (wish I could remember who, might've been colornrecover) cut open the nib vs an ohuhu/caliart nib, and the artify had a reinforcement inside! they do feel firmer/sturdier than the Ohuhu's to me, which I do like. pretty strange thing for them to do!
Interesting, copics have a barb in the center too.
@@thefrugalcrafter oh, I had no clue! if I end up with duplicates of any of the brands I have I'll have to slice them up to satisfy my curiosity about which nibs have what lol!
Nice review. 😊
I have those markers! But the colors work differently from mine somehow, maybe I shouldn’t have left it on my shelf for years heheh.
Inlove your marker reviews.. I also do marker reviews...but in a way difffernt style haha.....in defo going to add these markers to the list... Keep making great videos. ✌🔥✌🔥
I was starting to collect sketch copics, however my circumstances have changed and can’t afford to get them anymore (here in Aus sketch are around A$10 each). Do you still think ohuho are the best way to go, or would you recommend these as a close second? I’d like to have at least 80 set..... or should I go with alternew ( but shipping on them to Australia is really high). There are now so many to choose from it’s getting difficult to make a decision ❤️🇦🇺
It's hard to say as I am not sure what is available in Australia or what you have already. The bullet and chisel markers will be the most affordable and most of those nibs are the same and durible but if you want a brush nib that won't be what you want. The ohuhu brush markers are a good bet, the nibs are not as good as copic but they are reversible if they fray. Look at what you have and see what you need and go from there. Also check reviews for other markers easy to get in Australia in case there are better options.
Thank you so much for replying!
Love this!
Can you please review Caliart markers ?
Hi again Lindsay. I'm still trying to figure out which budget marker set to purchase. Have you compared the Ohuhu, Arrtx and Artify? My biggest concern is the feel of the markers, especially the nibs. I'd rather have a bullet and brush nib, don't really need a chisel nib. If I decide on the Arrtx is it possible to replace the chisel tip with an AlteNew brush tip? The more I explore the more confused I get! Thanks for your help. You do the best review videos.
Yes you can but you might want to compare the price of the arrtx all plus brush nibs and the altenew as they are sold because they already have bullet and brush nibs
Thanks!
Love your reviews. Do the manufacturer every change something based on reviews made?
Sometimes, ohuhu has before.
So many markers out there dont know which ones to get. Look for a good set with good reds and greens and skin color. I have 96 arteza water brush pens and dont like them at all, so why I'm going to markers
amazon spain which is where i´m from has some bad reviews for these, no blending,dry or used markers and carrying case destroyed, there´s a quite a few like that, and obviously there´s more good ones than bad ones,plus some of those reviews are probably inexperienced people and just bad luck (the carrying case breaking seems to be common tho) so i´m like, should i buy them or not? then i come here and to other videos related to these and i see amazing results and i´m like how come there are so many unhappy people? these look and seem to perform amazing!
Are you in Spain? Maybe the seller there is not good at packaging. I have not heard of problems ordering these from Amazon USA
@@thefrugalcrafter yeah probably that´s the case, they don´t package it well and the handling is probably bad so it breaks, and about dry or used markers that´s probably bad luck with defective caps for the markers, and them not blending is probably inexperience, because i´ve checked amazon USA and everything seems fine
I may be in trouble...do I really need these...thank you
Only a couple .
Minutes in but just looking at the swatches I wish they came with less greys and more colors..the reds look very small..and the purples as well. But let's continue the review and see your thoughts!!
I could completely di with out the green greys and blue grays, warm abled cool are fine and I have accidentally grabbed a green greay GG when I wanted a cool grey CG and messed up a drawing because the letters look so close!
Hi Ms. Lindsay, would you recommend the artify or ohuhu marker set, based on the colors and the brush nib.
They are equal in quality. Ohuhu has some open stock now and a larger color range which is nice but go with the color palette you like.
I am interested in colored pencils. Which ones would you recommend for a beginner?
Lindsay showed us her entire collection of colored pencils a little while back. It will give you a good idea of the types of pencils available from budget to professional with formulations that are more wax than oil as well as formulations that are more oil than wax. Here is a link to that video- ua-cam.com/video/2OlVSvNiZlc/v-deo.html.
Also, check out The Art Gear Guide- ua-cam.com/users/TheArtGearGuide. (Lindsay has recommended his reviews in the past.)
Thanks for linking these up, please check the videos as I cant recommend the best pencil without knowing your needs.
I WANNA get it too pls
Can u recommend a cheap marker brands that are available open stock
Blick studio
Ty
Where would you say they fall compared to bianyo and ohuhu markers?
Very similar to the ohuhu brush markers in quality. Bianyo has (or at least the version I have from 2 years ago) a better brush nib more like copic. I like the artify case better but the ohuhu color pack selection better as you can get the 120 set and have all the colors in smaller sets except for the pastels (and maybe skin tones? Not sure as they redid those recently and I don't have the updated version) I'd rather buy a large set to get all the colors rather than buying them all to get the few unique colors each set has and doubles.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you.
Have you ever tried or reviewed the alcohol Marker set called caliart art markers?
We bought these for are 15 year old daughter for her anime drawings and other arts drawings that she makes.
I’m pretty sure she reviewed those a while back. I have them, they’re good. It’s been a few years and they’re still juicy and haven’t dried out, granted I don’t used them that often.
They were in her big marker review that she did back in December.
I have not reviewed caliart, they go on the same color system as artify and bianyo tho and look a lot like these artify ones. They seem to use the same double ended nibs too. Si many markers are the same as other brands. Same with many art supplies.
I think the colors are beautiful and the case is nice but the cons cannot be ignored - the crazy chisel nib placement turns me off immediately, not to mention what you say about those "superior" nibs and how they might fray. The most important thing about markers, the nibs, are wrong!
Yeah, that was a bummer for anyone who enjoys the chisel nib like I do. Many people only use the brush end so it's not a big deal for them. I need to find my marker tweezer and fix the off ones. They are already on my non work art desk :)
Is there any coloring book for alcohol markers?
Color it makes some
Are these markers open stock
No
Have you tried arrtx?
Yrs, I have reviews of all their sets:)
Do any markers have less odor than copics?
Not that I know of if you are talking alcohol based. Waterbased markers have no discernable smell tho.
@@thefrugalcrafter yeah all i use right now are water based, i hate missing out on the alcohol markers though
@@lizziedae91 I dont even notice the smell of most markers. Sharpie is strong bug the others arent bad to me.
@@thefrugalcrafter I smelled the blick ones in store and they were strong so tried copics but even that gave me a headache and now we live in an apartment where the windows don’t open. Thank you for doing all the reviews and answering questions
Which one would you recommend more these ones or the arrtx oros brush markers? 😩 i cant decide which set i should get
They are comparable but Arrtx is a little better because they have a larger color range and there were no issues with how the chisel tips were seated and many of the artify nibs were awkward to use as it so you wiykd need to pull and reseat the problem nibs. If you don't mind that the artify are less expensive and have a great carry case.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank youuu💜💜
