SFAIH Light Skin Tone Marker Pens 11 Colors + Mixed Color 0 - Dual Brush & Chisel Tips Art Marker Set for Portraits Coloring Drawing

I bought these in a panic because my 72 pack of Ohuhus ran out in the middle of a huge piece. I needed exact colour matches to pick back up where I left off, and when I tell you these are pretty close I mean it. Same colour names, same caps. Only difference is that these are slightly lighter than the Ohuhus (which I prefer!!) so you're more working with pastels (less range) instead of vibrants. Not a deal breaker and for half the price? Absolutely worth it. Not dry at all, there's a lot of ink to these so far and I'm not seeing any streaks. Would recommend.Ohuhu bag is on the left, these markers are on the right in the picture. The carrying bag is actually more sturdy than the Ohuhu one and keeps them together better.

I like these natural skin-tone markers for a lot of reasons.• There is great variety in the natural-looking skin colors• There are a lot of markers - 12 alcohol markers. Some sets only include six markers.• I have many coloring books for grandchildren and myself, so this set will last us a good time.• The markers are easily gripped by children and adults alike.• The markers have dual tips – brush and chisel. You decide what effect you want.• My family has sketching and coloring competitions, and these markers are ideal for those events.• The markers are fast-drying with blendable ink.• Caps indicate color.

A few months back, I got into coloring books thanks to TikTok. Like pretty much everyone else, I had my heart set on the OHUHU alcohol markers, but they were always backordered and took forever to restock. So, I decided to explore some alternatives and went for the SFAIH markers instead. Honestly, they’re pretty good —great quality, no strong smell, a solid shade range, smooth blending, and they don’t dry out quickly. They even have a 48-piece pastel set, which is awesome because I loved pastel colors.That said, they do bleed through the paper, so you’ll need thicker sheets or something underneath to protect your workspace. While the OHUHU markers remain my top choice, the SFAIH markers are definitely a great alternative if you’re looking for something affordable and readily available.

Tis a long one... I got new markers! The markers are Sfaih. This image is from the coloring book "Bearclaw's Realms of Fantasy, Vol 1" (via Amazon!), and it was a good learning experience. When I asked my husband what color I should make the giant and he said "orange" I was like... "uhhh... oooookkkkaaaaayyyyy.... night scene with orange?" But it turned out OK.On to the Sfaih marker review!The good: They come in a decent quality zipper case.The bad: The case lid doesn't stay open, which is annoying. This could be rectified by putting the seam on the side front and extending the zipper around to the back on each side, but they've gone with a 3-piece box cut vs. a 4-piece box cut... admittedly easier to assemble and highly efficient in terms of fabric, which keeps the price down... but at the cost of that one functional element. It's totally not a deal breaker.TG: The colors are labelled on each cap with their call code and name.I can (and did) learn my way around the bad eventually.TB: The colors on the caps are not anywhere close to the colors the markers produce. I got this set because it looked like pastels and yellows, which I really needed, and there are some yellow-green and yellow-brown, but no genuine yellows (the yellow here IS from this marker set, it looks much more yellow next to the blue, it's really a yellow-green on its own). The pinks are distinctly red-leaning, the orange is actually red, and the red is closer to purple. There are zero light blues (the monk character at the bottom was not supposed to be dipped in deepest indigo). The greens are a dizzying array of almost-the-same and wildly different... hard to explain, but this is a case of looking at the names all the time. All of the colors are delightful, just not what I was looking for when I bought this set. (see the second photo for the color families in no particular order).TG: Caps are secure.TB: Caps need a Lego pry bar to get off without popping the cartridge open & ending up with a soggy marker felt in your lap, or not being able to open it at all and just staring at the color you want to access in frustration. The plastic is also soft enough that prying causes damage to the caps.TG: Cartridges have a lot of juice in them.TB: Cartridges landing in my lap while trying to pry the cap off. I swore in creative ways. (Update: the stain came out fine).TG: fine tips are delightfully paintbrush like. Wedge tips leave a nice crisp line without the weird streaky bits that can happen in lower quality markers. GREAT edges.No bad here. Only good.TG: My sniffer is unreliable depending on how far out I am from my medication, but when I was able to smell them they don't smell bad, and I didn't get dizzy like I have with some markers.No bad.TG: They layer well.No bad.Unknown at first:- no idea how long they will last. (Update: mostly through the coloring book. A few started to fade a bit towards the end. Since I have no idea how long most markers last outside of Crayola which are either DOA or immortal, I really don't have a frame of reference for this).- have not tried the blender yet. No update.- no idea if the stain will wash off my clothes... I assume I can get it out with alcohol. (Update: did not need alcohol, came out fine in the wash).Further thoughts:The bleed factor is small, but plan on some when the markers are new.Kiss whatever is behind the page goodbye or use a waxed paper sheet to block it, these are going through! (Bearclaw's coloring book is printed on one side, so no losses there, but DO NOT forget the waxed paper block).The ink flow is *chef's kiss* until it's not.The ONLY reason this is not an enthusiastic 5 is the tendency of the caps to stick on the brush tip side & the cartridge to pop out, which causes frustration in an otherwise delightfully fun experience.

Got as a gift for my girlfriend and she loves them, and they have dried out after a week and is bright ! It functions great and it looks great on picture drawings. It’s smooth flow tips for drawing and well made. Easy to use and I recommend.

I am really happy with these markers! They are high quality for the price. Like all achohol markers, they bleed through thin paper but they come with a clear sheet that helps with that. It also comes with a swatch sheet because the colors on the caps can be inaccurate however if you are using them on a new kind of paper swatch it on that paper because I found that if you are using different paper the colors can change. I used thinner paper of a coloring book and the colors were a lot darker.

Make sure you store these puppies horizontally! I'm not sure about the chisel tips but the brush tips are pretty saturated. Absolutely love these alcohol markers. I find them perfect for fantasy books. Haven't colored in years but whenI picked these up, I wondered to myself about why I'd stayed away for so long.

These are the best alternative to the O markers I've found so far. I sprung for the 168 set and was pleasantly surprised. I did get one duplicate (Vermillion) but I like them so much I don't really mind. These might be my new go to since the O markers are back-ordered as all heck anyway.Also, to those saying they bleed through, spoiler alert: ALL ALCOHOL MARKERS WILL BLEED THROUGH REGULAR PAPER. If you like to color, just put cardstock behind the page.
