Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These pens used to be nice and juicy with a firm line for drawing but then they grew scarce on stationery shelves and art stores so I bought this set on Amazon-- but they give a dry, thin, scratchy, line that skips terribly. You have to press down so hard to get anything that it puts bad indentations on the paper below the one your'e drawing on. I thought it might just be that these have been sitting on the shelf at Amazon too long so I bought some from Office Depot and they're the same way. They must have changed their manufacturing methods or changed the ink consistency or something. They're OK for note taking but not for doing drawings.
