These pens are just awesome. Great selection of tips and I love the ink. They feel great while you hold them, but they are a bit small if you don't put the cap on the top while you use them. There are other brands of pens that might be cheaper for inking, but I have used many Faber-Castell products and the quality is just top notch and I really appreciate that. Definitely recommend this for Inking your drawings.

The pens work great, smooth, even flow of ink, no spotty coverage. However I am slightly disappointed in the strength of the ink itself. While it is indeed black, it covers the paper more like watercolor paint. If I want a solid black area without streaks, I have to go over it more than once. The ink coats more like a wash rather than pen ink. To really achieve a uniform coverage, I end up scanning my pictures into my computer and retouching them with a photo program to darken the black areas.

I have used the pens on two different brands and grades of paper Strathmore Sketch 50lb, and Bonjour Studios Acid Free 70lb. No bleeding on either type. However with the rougher 70lb paper, the 0.1mm pen does seem to "scratch" over the surface, but not very noticeable and still produces that incredibly fine line.

Overall, the pens suit the projects I use them for; they are great quality. I would have given a full 5-star rating if it weren't for the washed-out look of the ink.

I'm a casual comic-book/storyboard artist who has had some experience with inking pens.

These do a great job, they write smooth, and have very minimal bleed.

A great selection for the price too, the larger ones work great for filling, and creating backgrounds, where as the smaller ones can achieve very fine detail ( i.e. freckles, eyelashes etc.)

I had to have the box handy for a while till I remembered what style and size each pen was. Obviously some are intuitive like XS and M. But others like SB, SC, and F were new to me.

Overall a great set and highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Wallet Sets black set of 8

This pen pack is the perfect one for amateurs and professionals alike. While professionals will have their preferences (and they are usually expensive) these pens can be thrown in a bag or purse and taken alone with a sketch pad without issue. Their quality is more than you could ask for a dollar and change per pen. So I'd suggest that anyone who is looking for a starter set or a travel set pick these up. Even if you're buying this as a present to yourself of a loved one, these pens will help an amateur figure out which pens work best with his/her style, so that you don't waste money on more expensive drawing implements.

It is very pretty, but it's hard to pick it out of the die without tearing and hard to pick out of all the little holes. Use waxed paper.

Great Product. Just had to learn to use wax paper between die and card stock to get it out of the die without tearing cut card stock up. Glad I bought it.

As usual absolutely no problem with my Amazon order.

Buy Artist Sketching Kit with Sketch Paper Strathmore 400 Series

Customer Ratings:

This is a great set for the beginner or college student and the price was amazing! I deducted 1-star only for the packing: The box was just a tad too short and the pad was so snug against the side it warped a bit. It's with my daughter at college, so I don't know if it has relaxed and straightened.

I'm impressed with the array of French curves. They aren't heavy-duty like the ones I used drafting eons ago, but are excellent for their intended drawing purpose. The Strathmore paper is a brand and kind my daughter likes and I have no opinion about since I don't draw. And I can't review the pencils -I'm pretty picky and haven't tried them to know -but they're an added bonus to the whole package. I'm very pleased with the purchase and fast shipping.

HiyaHiya Sock Needles Set Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I love these needles and the bag is great for keeping them in a safe place that is easy to find for me.

The product quality was as described the 3-star rating is because I used them once and will probably never use them again. High price to use them once and dislike them so. If you are looking for the same comfort of your regular circular needles, you won't get it with these. The needles and cord are excellently crafted but the needles are so short that you begin getting hand cramps almost immediately. If you like to have only one WIP (work in progress) then these aren't for you I found that after two rows, I had to put them down for quite a while and go onto something else.

The pictures of this set made me think that at least the box was a nice wooden one with a felt interior. However, when it arrived I learned that the box, locks, and handle are flimsy... and the black interior is a very thin plastic insert that falls out if you're not careful. The brushes and paints are mediocre at best. I wasn't looking for something lavish with a 39.99 price tag, but I would have thought there'd be something of a "gift set" appeal... I guess I was wrong.

I bought this kit because it came with brushes and a good selection of acrylic paints. The brushes were great and a good quality, I had more options than I needed. I also liked the colors it came with. I just blended multiple colors together to get the exact color I wanted. I did have to buy an extra white paint from a store because I ran out. The tubes are small, but it's enough to get you started.

The dark colors by Mt. Vision are beautiful pastels. They are large in size and appear to be of good quality for a semi soft pastel. They arrived well packaged for transport and were intact upon delivery. A good value for the money. They appear to be more durable than some other pastel products that I have purchased.

I bought this for my daughter who has done many color and paint by numbers. When we opened it, the overlay color guides did not line up at all with the artwork on all three pictures. It appears that the manufacturer did not check to see if the artwork matched when they printed it. I would not recommend this item at all.

I cannot comment on this other than to say my grand daughter really enjoys it. This type of activity does not last long with her as she is voracious in her consumption of this sort of stuff. She is the most "artsy" of our three grand daughters and appreciates this sort of practice/learning activity.

Reviews of Lifestyle Crafts Lifestyle Crafts A2 Courtyard Embossing Folder Set

Customer Ratings:

I may be doing something wrong. I've been using embossing folders for quite some time but not this brand w/my Big Shot. The roses came out beautifully but when I tried using the bricks (on 2 different papers) it caused the paper to peel apart (front to back?). At first I thought it was just pushing harder on one area, like the mold was uneven, but then I realized it was more than one "brick". Do to health issues, I have not contacted the seller to check into the problem nor have I wasted more than 2 types of paper on it. I felt that a 4 star rating was reasonable because I don't believe it should be doing it at all, even without any inquiries about it.

Reviews of Dritz Heavy Duty Snaps (5/8 Inches) 7 Per Package - in your choice

Customer Ratings:

I am not having good luck with them. You crimp them, they fall off. They may be HEAVY DUTY SNAPS, to say when you snap them together. But what HOLDS the snaps on after crimping them is NOT heavy duty and when you go to unsnap, the whole thing pulls right out of the crimp vs unsnapping. I would give it one star, but maybe, just maybe my application is too thick, but I doubt it, as the post sticks CLEARLY through the hole I made.

Product allows you to pick "white" or "brass" as colors. The "brass" is actually nickel-plated brass so the color is actually "silver"

I picked "brass" because I NEEDED "brass", not silver.

Vendor and product would get a zero if that was an option.

I found that I had to use 4 snaps for every one place I needed them. IF you use these snaps then save yourself some aggravation and buy the tool that is made specifically to set these snaps. I tried to use a setting tool I had on hand from another set of snaps by another name brand that I had bought and used successfully, and as I said I went through 4 snaps for every 1 snap that I was able to set satisfactorily. Maybe cheap snaps or maybe you just have to use their special tool to set them at an added cost. So just be advised. Maybe your experience will be better than mine was.

Review of da Vinci Series 7779 Round Student Bristle Long Handle Paintbrush

This brush costs very little. It is good for crafts and such, but would not be good for art, such as watercolor. The bristles do not form a good point, and after 1 use "fluff" out more than when it was new, making it difficult to paint anything "precisely."
