Markers 9-Piece Multiliner Inking Pen Set B-2, Black (MLB2)

Decided to get these since I was looking for pens with different line variations for artwork. Came with all the sizes I need to do the artwork I want to do.

I've been exploring various types of inking mediums from felt-tip Microns to Staedtler's fineliners and even to Japanese pen nibs you dip with ink, and I was unable to find something that really worked with the way I drew. Microns weren't a true black, dried out much too quickly even when not in use, and the felt tips would wear down quickly. Staedtler's fineliners worked great, but they lacked the small sizes I needed for detailing. The Japanese nibs were also wonderful, me having brought a German ink which dried instantaneously just for it, but the lack of fluidly and control in my strokes from using nibs (ex. calligraphy pens) made outlining more of a chore than anything. Dipping was no problem, but having to keep turning my piece of work in all odd directions just so I can stroke upwards just didn't sit well with my quick-marking way of drawing while attempting to be precise. So, when browsing at Utrecht, I chanced upon the Prismacolor Illustration Marker set as well as these Copic Multiliners. I tried out the Prismacolor first only to dislike how shaky my outline appeared on the thinnest tip. Even then, the thinnest tip was fairly large. Then when I tried out these multiliners, lo and behold, the pen scraped across the paper seamlessly without any undesired shaky lines of any sort. The tiny .03 pen-tip gave me the ability to detail my drawings in a tiny space - - something that I had been trying to find for years! And the brush-tip pens are just wonderful for effects and filling in black (although you could possibly use another, cheaper kind of pen/marker to do that.) The ink also dries quickly so if your hand were to rub over it right after being drawn, it won't smudge (but this probably differs depending on the paper.) I've been using a few I brought from a local art store for a while now, and the tips are still in good condition. Therefore, I'd say this set is great for illustrationists and comic artists as they give you the range of thickness you need, packaged along with the two different sized brush pens. Great stuff, really! Otherwise, I highly recommend this product for those who prefer to outline with quick strokes while having the ability to place the lines down precisely. I can't guarantee you'll have the same reaction I did as each person has a different preference towards the mediums they use, but here's my two cents for this awesome product.

I'm Shizuko, I'm a young artist (14 soon to be 15 if you're wondering how young) in advanced art classes and I'm always looking for the best art products. I draw well with a mouse but I had been on a hiatus from digital art and decided to improve on traditional. My pends that I previously had (normal dollar store 0.1-1.6 pens) were WAY to thick to get neat line art. When I saw these I heard quite a bit of good things about them, so I tried them out. I'm not disappointed at all. :3 My advice is be very gentle with the smaller tips (0.03 & 0.05 most) other wise you'll wear them down too much or break them. When thickening lines try using the next size up pen so you don't get a rough look unless you have a really steady hand. The ink is a very good black and works great when I use watercolours, it doesn't get wet and get messy on water contact. If you're travelling make sure to put them in a safe place, they're a bit delicate. The lines are crisp and dark, so they're perfect for my manga drawings. Don't expect all of them to have brush tips, only the BS and BM sized ones in this set have the brush tip. The others are normal nubs. If you are using the salt texture technique on watercolours make sure ALL the salt is gone before putting this pen on the paper for signatures or corrections ect. otherwise the tip will get a bit dry. Don't leave the caps off even if you'll only be gone for a little while. Over-all the pens are definitely worth their price and got to my house shortly. They work great and have a long life span if you know how to treat your supplies correctly. Definitely don't give them to little children though. The ink runs smoothly and the strokes feel nice against the paper, other pens I've had are kind of rough on strokes. Definitely a great buy. (Another tip: If you're using coloured pencils and don't like super dark lines use the smallest ones and make very light strokes.)

Après la mort de mes liner faber, j'ai opté pour les copic marque réputé et surtout parce que rechargeable. Juste exceptionnel. De la prise en main qui est complètement d'une autre qualité. C'est fou comme j'ai senti de suite la différence au niveau du confort. Sur les différents layout que j'ai , Ohuhu notamment, ça glisse tout seul un vrai plaisir. Il y a une vraie différence visible de taille entre chaque liner on peut vraiment exploiter le plein potentiel des épaisseurs. Pour les ombrages en hachures c'est top. Le débit de l'encre est nickel. D'un noire très opaque. La brush comme un pinceau a encre de chine il faut faire attention de pas frotte tant que c'est pas sec sinon ça peut baver mais autrement vraiment super. Un vrai coup de coeur. Je recommande a 10000% La livraison malgres les derniers com qui me faisaient un peu peur, je pensais que j'aurais peu de chance de recevoir ma pochette mais en fait ascendia a été top. Des usa a la maison ,12jours . Un délai largement raisonnable pour les USA. Donc je mets 5 étoiles parce que autant le produit que le transporteur tout est nickel.

I have used sakura pigma micron last 3 years. And I thought they were the best but micron gets smudged slightly by water. copic multiliner doesn't smudge at all. Sizes are little different than micron though. Good for Urban sketching where u use water color.

Amazing product
