Tombow - Dual Brush Pen - 062 Pale Yellow

Excellent quality as I have come to expect from Tombow. Good color payoff and pens are easy to control, so very user-friendly particularly to amateurs and people-who-occasionally-draw like me. :)This is the 2nd time I bought these brush pens from this shop. Seller is very reliable. My order was prepared and packed and shipped on the same day. Thank you very much Tombow!

Excellent range of colors, average watercolor quality and nibs.I very much appreciate the excellent diversity of colors available in the dual brush pens. There are great subtle lighter shades of grey-green, ochre, and dusty pinks and golds that are hard to find in many brands. However, the brighter colors like vermillions and saffrons tend to be a little washed-out and less saturated looking than a top-quality watercolor pen like the Royal Talens Ecolines.As markers, they are very serviceable and I often use them for backgrounds or getting a specific color into a piece. The fine nib is nice for touch-ups and quick sketches.As watercolors, they are so-so. They do not move around as smoothly as I would like with water. The colors also wash out quickly, so there ... MoreExcellent range of colors, average watercolor quality and nibs.I very much appreciate the excellent diversity of colors available in the dual brush pens.

The colors also wash out quickly, so there is not a long gradient between full strength ink and a very pale wash. The brush nibs fray pretty quickly, and they aren't replaceable so you might be stuck with a pen full of ink but no working brush nib, which is frustrating.While I often use one or two Tombows on a piece, I don't use JUST Tombows to complete anything more involved than a sketch. They're not bad - better than many alternatives - but I would not recommend them for daily heavy users or as your only watercolor pen.

Great brush pens with nice colors

I bought about 10 of these Tombow Dual Brush pens and really enjoy using them. I got mostly muted tones though I did buy one or two brighter ones The brush tip is pretty flexible but holds its shape. The pointed side is like a medium felt tip pen. I use the brush side more often. The only thing I would caution if buying them without trying first, is that the colors of the caps often do not closely depict the actual color of the ink. But overall I really love these pens and will most likely be buying more of them. I’m not an artist. I use them mostly for journaling in my Hobonichi planner and pretending to make art.

Love These (mostly) Wonderful Dual Brush Pens

The right discount offer finally came up (from Blick), and I got a full 108 color set. Now I replace individually as needed. Although I have other markers, I always go to Tombow and prefer to use if at all possible. Wonderful, vibrant colors, although there's some missing I wish they would add. Brush tips are relatively hardy and offer great control and fine line capable. However, besides my wishlist of addional colors, I have 2 complaints: 1) Tombow should make AREPLACEMENT BRUSH TIPS available so I wouldn't have to buy replacement markers so frequently, wasting ink in the process. I am very picky about pristine brush heads and have a hard time with clean lines if they are worn. 2) Tombow should either make the nib end a finer point, or make a same color set of ... MoreThe right discount offer finally came up (from Blick), and I got a full 108 color set.

Regardless, I love these markers, and I use them daily. My drawings don't fade, they resist bleeding, and are relatively fairly priced (if purchased when on-sale or with a good discount code) compared to similar quality art markers.

Love Using this Marker for Mixed Media

I love Tombow Dual Brush Pens. They are smooth and travel well as opposed to markers with wider barrels. They have a good ink flow and dry quickly. I can use watercolor over the pen and blend new colors or blend colors just using the markers. The clear marker also blends watercolor paint.

So fun! Works so well!

My new favorite art medium! I love how you can move it around the piece using just water and watercolor brushes. My technique is to color in all the darkest darks and then use the brush to move it to medium and light spaces. I use the darkest spaces like a palette for the lighter ones. Really lovely medium. I'd give it 6 stars if I could! #sweepstakes

So much fun!

I am a watercolorist and during the holidays, I paint Christmas cards. This year, I began to incorporate the use of Tombow pens with the watercolor into my paintings. They are fun to use, and help with control on the small details. I am having a blast with them and highly recommend them. (Note: they are water soluble, so even after they dry, if you get them wet, they will run.)I highly recommend them, to let your creative side come out to play!

Tombow Dual Brush Pens

I recently bought a set of Grayscale Tombow Brush Pens, and was very impressed with how they handle. I especially liked taking a water brush to them after sketching to create value and shadows. So I decided to pick up a few colors to complement them and put together a limited palette for an upcoming trip. I purchased this green, along with a warm yellow and a dark and light brown. Tombow offers an extensive range of colors, which enabled me to find what I needed, and I’m looking forward to putting them to good use. They’re a nice alternative to using my watercolors.

Tombow Dual Brush Pens: Expensive, but versatile

Tombow dual brush markers are expensive, but high quality artist tools that can be utilized in a number of creative ways. Many people use them for lettering, but I prefer to use them for art/drawing. They are water-based, so do not bleed through paper as easily as alcohol markers (though they still work best on slightly heavier, mixed media or watercolor papers), and can even be used similarly to watercolor paints if you combine them with a water brush or run the tip of the marker over a plastic surface and then pick the color up with a brush. By diluting the markers with water you can also then get some variation in color intensity using just one marker. Since they are water-based, they sometimes look streaky when filling in larger areas of color, and can eat at ... MoreTombow dual brush markers are expensive, but high quality artist tools that can be utilized in a number of creative ways.

Since they are water-based, they sometimes look streaky when filling in larger areas of color, and can eat at the paper if you go over one spot too much. The bullet nib is nice for small details and line work, and the brush tip is very sturdy but flexible, great for coloring areas in or getting interesting line variations. Overall a high quality product, but buy it on sale if you can.

Very Good Quality Brush Pen/Detail Pen in one.

I have been using these brush pens to finish a "Color Me" jigsaw puzzle. Other markers/highlighters were too saturated and dark for use in this village scene. I was so happy to find three or four very light-colored brush pens that would allow a varied tonal quality-- instead of one consistent range throughout the scene. Also, being a brush pen, it was able to go into the valleys created by the puzzle pieces---making the composition non-spotty.
