I have the full set of Ohuhu markers and I love them! I bought them just after they came out with the brush/fine tip set, but before they had any refills. I love that they have refills and cannot wait until they have refills for all of their colors. I don’t need the refills because the markers dry out, I simply use specific markers a lot because I make multiples of each card layout. When I’m making a scene card with Lawn Fawn critters, I might have 4-5 little critters per card, and I usually make 20 cards of each layout, but if I love the layout, I might make as many as 40-50. So I use some of my colors over and over, and they run out faster than other colors. I’ve never had an Ohuhu marker just dry out. My issue with Ohuhu markers was that when they first came out, many of the people I watch on UA-cam had already invested a lot of money into their Copic markers so that was what they were using. Over time, I’ve noticed some YpuTuber’s using Ohuhu markers, and I’ve also seen people post Ohuhu blends on Pinterest. I was not aware that Sandy Allnock had created a hex chart for Ohuhu! I will be buying that this weekend! I use my fine tip nib the most often because I use a lot of stamp sets that have small images, but I do use the brush tip quite often. I have never had to replace any of my Ohuhu nibs; I’ve not even had to use the other side of the double sided brush nib. My Ohuhu markers have been a great investment, and I’ve never been sorry that I purchased them.
I just bought a smaller set of these same markers. I’m very happy with them. Just know that that the cap colors are different than the actual ink colors, so swatching and grouping them is important. I have mine rubber banded into tone groups.
Oh that's smart to group them together like that. I agree totally about the caps. I find the Sandy Allnock swatch hex sheet to be immensely helpful with that too!! Thanks for watching!
I wish I had know about them when I first started card making! When my copics run out I will be switching to Ohuhu. But I do not use my markers much. So this will help when I do need to change,
They look great! My daughter has the pastel collection and loves them. I needed a black marker and bought a set of Ohuhu black fine line pens. They work great! I have so many Spectrum Noir markers that I may not start over with other companies, but this is a great choice. I will definitely use your code if we shop. Thanks!
I bought a smaller set of this brand four years ago and I’ve never regretted it. My set is much smaller than your set and I do sometimes find it to be limiting, but honestly I rarely use alcohol markers so this brand is perfect for me. I too much prefer the brush tip and fine detail tip over the chisel tip. Price is always a consideration too…..mine are going strong four years later with zero drying out and no crystallization. 😎
Thrilled for you and a little jealous 😂 I’ve been wanting to get a set. Especially since there’s the option for brush/fine tip. I bought the whole set but it was as a gift for my niece. Now I’m saving for a set for me. I will add that I do have a set of Spectrum Noir, but I’m not overly thrilled. Some colors were practically dry and I wasn’t offered a replacement when I complained. Plus I find the caps very hard to get off and that doesn’t help my arthritis. And some ink can splatter/flick when trying to get cap off.
These look like a great alternative to Copics! I rarely use my copics anymore. When I do pull them out, I always run into one or several of the same issues you stated. Its so frustrating! Thanks for the video. I look forward to seeing how you like them.❤
I have an older set of Ohuhu markers and I really dolike them but they have the brush and chisel ends. I've been debating about getting a new set with the fine tip/brush tip because I think those would be used more for the type of coloring I do rather than the chisel end. Can't wait to see more videos as you give these a try. 😊
Oh that's a bummer! I believe it's on the very last check out screen when you order. Thanks so much for watching and have a great time crafting with them!
I bought a small set of Ohuhu markers many years ago when they first popped up on Amazon. What I didn't like was that they were more opaque than Copics and hard to blend. I'm not a skilled colorer, so I like easy. Could you do a video on blending with these?
Interesting on the opaqueness, I haven't really noticed that yet. I will definitely do a follow up vid with blending (coloring in stamps). Stay tuned for that. That's for watching
@@knoctopus I would love to see a tutorial card making session with these markers as well. I feel like my markers are an unused resource in my craft room because they intimidate me…..I scare easily…..😂
Not all but some. Sometimes I use water brush pens and every once in a great while colored pencils. Many of the ones in my critter book are alcohol markers. Thanks for watching friend!
That's a good question, I might need to see if they have any recommendations. I'm inclined to think it can be either because they come in that case when you buy them which is upright BUT they also sell the wooden ones with slats which would be horizontal. Thanks for watching friend!!
@@amyswaresI store my Ohuhu, Copics, and my Spectrum Noir markers in the Spectrum Noir Storage Trays. I keep the brands separated, but I do use the 3 brands of markers together. I love the Storage Trays because they attach together and each marker has a dedicated spot, unlike other storage trays where a group of markers share one open space.
There are a lot of colors BUT I like the fine and brush tips so they only carry 120. I’m not a fan of the chisel tip. I’m not sure if Ohuhu sells replacement tips …if yes then you have more options. Enjoy your new markers!
There are more than 120 in the fine and brush. They do sell tips. They also are selling refills but they don't have that full collection of refills yet. Thanks for watching!
I couldn’t find a larger fine and brush tips set on their website. The larger sets showed brush and chisel tips. If you have a link to the larger set of fine and brush tips along with replacement tips that would be very helpful. Thanks.
I’ve been having the same problems with my Copics. I have some replacement markers and refills coming in the mail today but I really have to decide if it’s worth the expense given how little I use them. I think I’m going to stop replacing them and eventually go with a less expensive option.
Yeah that's pretty much where I am at. I had bought some refills and replaced some nibs and yet they still go dry so then I basically wasted all of that when the marker itself is clearly cracked. It's definitely not worth it to me anymore with as little as I color.
You might get some blowback about using ohuhu. Sandy Alnock has a review on the same page as her hex sheet, discussing basically copyright infringement. I view them as the sort of Aldi version of copics. There are many companies who have alcohol markers now, so I don’t feel bad about owning them, myself. I mean, there was one model t before the many, many automobiles we have out there today. Now we have a variety of autos to choose from.

Hi Amy, thanks for this video! Will you please share the specific sets that the Ohuhu agent told you to purchase if you wanted to end up with all 320 colors with the brush/fine nibs? I looked on their site and it isn't quite obvious. Thanks!
Hiya, this is a breakdown I found on reddit which also aligns with what Ohuhu told me. The 120 Set The 48 "Sweetness" Pastel Set [This + the 120 set = the 168 set] The 48 Mid Tone Set [This + the above = the 216 set] The 104 Set [This + the above = the 320 set!] Also, the skin tone ones are BEYOND the 320 set so if you want more you can get that set too. I hope this helps!
@@amyswares One more question….was only the 120 set available with brush/fine nibs? Are the other sets only available in brush/chisel? I'm not seeing any other option for brush/fine on the site than the 120 set….
Sorry I missed this comment. They are great so far. I'm very happy with them. Here is the link to the Honolulu ones with the fine point and the brush. shrsl.com/4npzt You just need to click on the set and then you will see a button where you can choose chisel or fine point. I hope that helps.

Amy, great comparison! Are alcohol markers what you use for all your critters? Can’t wait to see you use these.❤️😊🐾🌵

I have ohuhu and like them.
Glad to hear it!
My copics have been drying out, too. I've even bought reinkers and they still seem to dry out fast.
Mine do too. So maddening
After long research I went with Ohuhu Honolulu for exactly the same reasons.
I'm glad! Thanks for watching friend!
Very cool set. I'm curious how do you store them? Horizontal? Vertically? Great demo.
