I recently bought the dual-tip Arrtx non-shake acrylic paint markers and really liked them... and then I found some cheaper brands (some almost half the price!) so decided to compare them, Are they all the same?

Thank you SO much for this video! Finally someone made one about this! I've been eyeing a set that looks identical to that first pack of 12, except there's 24 markers. But now I just found another that is identical with 30 colors for only 18 bucks! And someone in the comments mentioned that they blend really well and blend with water (which is what I love so much about the black set of Arrtx markers). I'm about to watch your other video about the Ohuhu marker's. You always make the best content! Much love 💞💞

Thank you! 🥰 That's one of the main reasons I make these videos, to show that lots of products out there are the same and some companies are just better at marketing than others!

Lets be honest here. Arrtx uses the same cheap suppliers like the cheap chinese brands. They just pretend to be a more premium brand by charging higher prices for basically the same quality the other brands offer for cheaper. Thats why I'll never get their overpriced cheap stuff.

@ArtJourneyUK Жыл бұрын

Yup. They spend more on marketing and sending freebies to youtubers for review and increase their prices to compensate and seem 'Premium'. Tooli-Art are the same. They used to be £10 for a pack of paint pens, then they send freebies out, reviews started popping up and the price increased to £30 per pack. Same pens. 🤷‍♀️

I wonder, is this the case with Ohuhu? I know it’s alcohol marker, not acrylic but i'm curious if some total no-name on the market sells the same, just way cheaper.

@Oozaru85 Ай бұрын

@@miraxterrik The only difference between Ohuhu and cheaper "brands" is the ink. Or rather, the amount of ink inside the markers. They have the same size cartridges, but Ohuhus are more filled I believe. Thats why they wont go out of ink as fast as cheaper markers. Thats the only difference I could find between them and my cheaper Chotune markers from Azon. Tho my Chotune have nicer, softer brush nibs. Ohuhus "brush" nibs are uncomfortably firm and unflexible.

I bought ALL the arrtx markers for christmas, fell in love but then the pens started leaking and reviews on Facebook said the same, I emailed Arrtx but they basically did not want to know. I sent them back to amazon and had new and they did the same, gets worse with use. I've recently bought five different sets from temu much cheaper but exactly the same!!! and I reckon it's the same manufacturer using different names!!! Crafty way to sell there productsI also emailed Arrtx and asked if they were the same company as Guangna and they did not even reply, also on Guangna it says Real nylon brush hairs, they are NOT. I do love the pens but feel they shouldn't be able to suck people in using different brand names

@ArtJourneyUK Жыл бұрын

Yes, I think it's the same manufacturer for various brands too but Arrtx are better at promoting their products in the community.

Interesting to see so many are basically the same ink, not sure what I think about this. I have both the Arrtx sets and I've used them loads, and am really happy with them. So far I've had no issues🤞 I definitely prefer the brush ends to those stubby nib things, as I'm often doing line work, they wouldn't work for me, but handy to know if I need some replacements there are some cheaper ones, as long as I don't need all the colours. (although knowing me, I'd want more colours not less!🤣) I did get both my sets on offer, so its always worth keeping them in your basket and waiting for an offer, they seem to be on offers quite often. Great video, some super Amazon shopping skills here!😉👍

@ArtJourneyUK Жыл бұрын

I really like the Arttx pens too which is why I decided to investigate the cheaper sets too although to be honest, I didn't expect them to be so similar! I will use the stubby nib ones for rock painting because the brush tip ones get chewed up on rocks.

@@ArtJourneyUK Something that would really help me and maybe others is a recommendation for acrylic paint pens with brush tips that have clear barrels so you can see how much paint is left. I'm on a really tight budget so know how much paint I have makes a huge difference. I can't just go and buy new pens or have spares if Im doing some art. I always have to work with what I've got and not knowing how much paint I've got makes it incredibly hard to plan or commit to a piece.

@ArtJourneyUK Жыл бұрын

The previous video comparing the Ohuhu and Arrtx Metallic Markers? I do find it interesting when companies spend so much on marketing their products and they're just the same as the other ones that are less marketed

@clairewalters8238 3 ай бұрын

You were spot on with the colour matching the cheaper paint pens to the more expensive. I did notice that the opacity of the cheaper “white label” paint pens was often more poached and as most colourists use paint pens to take out the black lines we are probably better off buying the cheaper variety although the barrel of the last set which looked like crayons super tips barrels obviously would not have very much water based paint in them and would run out faster. I am not a big fan of removing a lot of black lines as it makes whatever you have erased merge into the rest of the page and generally that is the subject of the picture and where your eye should be drawn to. I do use the ohuhu glitter paint pens & I take the nibs out after use and wash them to stop the tips from clogging. Great video Lily, glad you are back love cos I missed you ❤❤❤

Crazy to see every time. With noodles, everyone knows it, but when "better known" companies do it... uff. Have now bought me the pens with the rainbow label, in a set of 30. ..a lot cheaper than those of Arrtx. Should arrive tomorrow and look forward to it :D Thanks for your video

Couple of questions. Did you notice if any of them smell. I just got arrtx ones. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about any smell affecting my asthma. Also, how where they with ghosting and bleedthrough? Lastly, when the final one dried was it as see through as it looked on screen? Cause I noticed that paint doesn't appear to be as thick in paint coverage. So you make not get the same coverage look. Like you may see through the lines in coloring books with them compared to the other. Thanks for answering my questions and informative video.

@ArtJourneyUK Ай бұрын

@butterflies015 Hi! None of the Acrylic Markers had a smell, that's something I would have noticed and commented on as strong smells bother me too. With regard to the bleedthrough and coverage, I'll have to check the sheet and come back to you 🥰
