Fine Line Markers for Adults (40ct), Skinny Marker Set for Adult Coloring Books, Stocking Stuffer for Teens, Aesthetic Art Supplies, Stress Relief Activity

Hi All. The Crayola 40-piece fine line markers are a very nice set of markers indeed. First, I want to say that I've purchased other water-based ink markers, and I've NEVER used a juicier set. Not 1 of the markers was dry, or even going dry. Now, you need to know that I have never really liked water-based ink markers, but this set was so incredibly easy to use, and it layed color down beautifully. I have become a water-based ink marker lover. I have included a page so you can see how nice the colors look. You should notice, that the streaks are very minimal. Granted that the spaces in this page aren't super big, but even the spaces on the hearts are big enough that if you aren't familiar with water-based ink markers, you could get some streaks that look quite bad. The color selection in this set is great. Now, 40 markers may not seem like a big set, but the shades that are included are the ones that tend to be used more. I like this fact. I always feel like I'm "wasting" my money by not using certain colors. I'm not worried about that at all with this set. It contains 2-grays, 4-browns, 5-pinks, 5-greens, 2-teal, 6 blues, 3-purples, 2-yellows, 5-oranges, and 2-reds. It also has 1-wine, 1-gold-ish, 1-black, and a shade they call "Sandy Tan" that might qualify as a flesh tone. I know that the regular, yellow box set does not include the "Sandy Tan". That is one of the big reasons I chose the Adult Coloring Fine Line set. I really like the tip shape and size. There are other markers that have a "standard" bullet shaped tip, but this one is smaller. It was easy to get into the small areas, which is a necessity for me. My favorite designs to color are the smaller spaced style, and even the "tangled" style. So, if you like the Crayola brand, and are wanting a good set of water-based ink markers, with a very good color selection, I suggest that you purchase this set. Let me know whether you found this review helpful or not. Thanx, Mindy They blend well. I did some simple shading on this page. You should be able to see that I used a base color, and then added a darker shade around the edges and across the center line. The darker shade blended into the lighter shade and made the little fronds look dimensional. This is an easy techique, but it does not always look good with water-based ink markers. These Crayola Fine Line markers were definitely up to this challenge. So, if you like to use water-based ink markers, this set is a very good choice. It is also a less expensive set. I do believe that it has the better color selection, if you are comparing

Wow! What an awesome variety of colors! When they say "fine line markers" they are not kidding! They write incredibly smooth and the sharp crisp fine line is impressive! If you are using an Adult Coloring Book with tiny and complicated designs, this will not disappoint! The line is so fine I don't know how anyone could go outside the line unless they really wanted to! LOL If this is what you've been looking for then look no further!

I love these. Crayola for grown ups.

Overall, these are good markers and your standard Crayola quality. However, almost every color is different from the shade of the cap/swatch on the back of the box. I know most coloring tools are guilty of this, but this particular set is especially egregious. Basically every color is much darker in actual usage than the cap color/box swatch; this is particularly noticeable when you actually color with them (versus writing or a single line). Highly recommend creating your own swatch sheet that shows the true color when used as a single line and a colored area. The other nitpick I have is that all the tips tend to "flake"/bunch up as you're using them, especially when you are coloring over multiple times. It gets in the way of a smooth coloring surface and you do get some streaks. Otherwise, for the price point and assortment of colors, pretty good. Just don't expect AMAZING quality.

Great for adult coloring. Good variety of colors. Packaging a little hard to use.

I am not an artist by any means and I still have trouble staying in the lines when coloring because I'm going too fast. These really made me have to slow down to color because the tips are almost TOO fine to normal scribble color with. They would be great for detail work, except they bleed and puddle BAD. I find myself literally using a stippling coloring method to color anything remotely decently but I still find myself using them regardless. These markers really force me to have to pay attention rather than just scribbling aimlessly in the negative space. These colors are also VIBRANT! There are no real pastel or light hues of colors, even though it looks like it from the swatches. Next time I might buy the bigger box, if you're wanting specifically light hues, but it could be just the ink is very pigmented. I think I do prefer the regular fine tips to these only because they're bigger and cover more space for a normal coloring book with minimal detail. I don't one hundred percent think I will buy these again but only because they're just not what I was looking for with what I am doing which is just regular coloring from a regular coloring book. Nothing fancy, and these might just be too fancy for me. Otherwise, truthfully a decent marker that is actually finer than the original fine tips, cheap, and still really pretty.

Not terrible markers but not great for super fine adult coloring books. The color on the lids is way off from what you are actually getting on the page. Nothing has dried out yet though and they seem to be lasting a long time. Good quality for the price, lots of color options.

These are truly "fine line" markers. I love the different shades of each color.
