My FAVORITE Pens!
I've been a fan of the Straedtler brand for a few years now. I own the fiber tip markers and have for almost 11 years now (they seriously never dry out, crazy!) but wanted a finer point set for some of my more detailed adult coloring books. These are perfect! I only saw minimal bleeding with the darker shades and though they're not ideal for coloring in larger areas, it's not impossible ;-) My ONLY complaint is the same with other brands, you can't trust the cap color to match the actual ink color. I made a color key for myself so I wouldn't forget what the colors looked like! I highly recommend doing the same. Two in particular were REALLY off. One looks like it would be a pastel green but is more of a light green. The second looks like it should be a lovely, light shade of purple but is like a dark purple wine color. All in all though definitely my favorite :-) Bright, bold colors, very comfortable and a great value for how long they last!
