The markers are great. The bag was ripped in 2 places upon delivery though.
Love them, only one issue

I love the variety of colors and how easy they are to use. There are even some colors that would make for great skin tones. I haven't quite /used/ them, yet, in a piece, but I got them swatched.
My issue is is that a lot of the colors are very bold and intimidating, especially for beginning artists that are wanting to buy this set/brand. Very few colors are light/pastel to allow you to build up. It's almost go big or go home. And, honestly, this is the first time I am buying Ohuhu markers, so I'm not sure if they have a specific lighter set or if the fine tip Ohuhu markers come with lighter colors in the bigger sets, but as someone who was actively seeking cheap brush tip markers, it's almost disappointing to have a lot of very bold, and even very dark, colors when I'd like to be able to layer and build up if I need to. You can't really cover up a super bold/dark color, at least not well.
Other than that, I do absolutely adore them and even the little case they come in. I just truly wish they had more lighter/pastel colors.

Good markers. Needs more light colors!

These markers are pretty good. The only thing I would change is more pastel colors! Many of the colors labelled pastels were much too saturated and bright on paper. There are only a few that are true light colors. Some saturated colors are nice, but having more pastels and lighter colors included would give depth to an art piece created with these markers.

I've always wanted to try alcohol markers, but Copics were too expensive and other brands were either nearly as pricey or lacked the quality needed to really make something shine. Then I saw a video reviewing Ohuhu, started researching and instantly bought myself a set once I saw they had the brush tips available.
The day I got them I immediately went to work and I loved working with them. I've seen a few methods of working with these types of markers so I had an idea of what to do, but no actual practice with it and with these markers it feels very forgiving.
I did have a few problems with my set in particular; Juicy colors are always nice but my markers were splashing a little when I opened them. I don't know if this is common for markers but from what I've seen of other people using them they don't have the same problem and can open their markers in front of their picture without fear of ruining it. Another problem was one of my markers' cap didn't properly snap on... It's still sealed (as my marker hasn't dried out yet), but it pops off easily and it doesn't click on like all the other markers which leaves me wondering if I put it on right every time.
Another downside to these markers are the fact that there is no way to refill them or replace individual colors. I really think Ohuhu could compete with Copic if they had either one of those options available for customers, as buying whole packs to replace one or a handful of colors is not desirable and leads to people just buying Ohuhu to slowly replace them with the closest color Copic has to offer, as refilling Copics is actually cheaper in the long run. I understand making them refillable would probably up the price, but selling them individually would be just as effective without raising the cost too much.
With that said, if you really want to try out alcohol markers you can't go wrong with these. Just be ready with a game plan when you start running out of ink.

I really enjoy these markers but the only downside for me is that they fether on my paper so bad. It might just be my paper though.

I really like these markers and I'm getting better at using them. But my BR2 marker is running out of ink. I don't know why since I use other markers more often than that, especially Y2 and Y3 for a character design and backgrounds, and they are still good. I'm worried other markers that I haven't used yet will start to run out of ink after coloring an image. I don't know if it's just me or if this is common because this is my first set of markers. But if you can afford new markers, more ink, or another set of these, I think this is good practice beforehand
Not bad for price

I am definitely loving these markers!!!! I needed a set of markers because it was a media I have been wanting to try, but I didn’t want to pay approximately $5 a marker. Ohuhu markers do a pretty good job, especially for the price. The color is really nice although I will say that the color labels on the ends are pretty different from the actual color on paper for quite a few of the markers. I’d just say make a swatch sheet and you’re good to go! I’m personally not a fan of the blending pen, but I can still manage blending (although sometimes the colors can be really difficult.) The brush tips make me really happy because they really do make all the difference from your normal tips! I wish there were a few more skin tones, but overall these markers are fantastic and I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to get more into illustration.
