These new Sharpie Creative Markers are great!! No, they are not like Sharpie Stained, but I'm glad I tried them because they are great paint pens and really accessible! They are very similar to Karin Pigment Decobrush markers!

ABOUT ME:
Hello lettering friend! I’m Sarah from Ensign Insights. I started hand lettering in 2016 during a really difficult time and hand lettering reminded me how to be happy. I dove in head first and haven’t looked back! I started teaching lettering and sharing that joy I found with others. My goal is to help you create hand lettering that feels like your best self. Most recently I've been doing that through a Hand Lettering Journal which is simply a journal filled with your own lettering! In 2021 my first book was published, Hand Lettering for Beginners. It includes everything I wish I had when I got started. I used to be addicted to buying new pens, and while I still love pens, I’m on a journey toward minimalism so I’ve been decluttering A LOT of pens. I’ve realized I’m more creative when I have just enough pens, not too many. I firmly believe that you can create something beautiful with what you have! The way you create right now is exactly where you need to be. Thank you for being here! :)

I love these markers I’ve seen them on TikTok from my favorite calligraphy artist on TikTok. I’m on my second pack. I work at a mental hospital and I write birthday cards, see you soon, and hope you feel better cards. My patients love the markers and are very impressed.

My ears perked up at the mention of the bullet nib version, I have been on the lookout for felts similar to the Pitt pen 1.5 mm black pen, to find something that writes bolder for ease of reading would be amazing. I'm an artist who's losing their sight, am going down swinging to get every last drop of ability to create with what I have left.

Sharpie stained is a felt nib similarly to the tombow fudenosuke caligraphy brush pens or the Pentel brush sign pen. Sharpie creative pens are closer to tombow dual brush pens or sakura pigma brush pens. I do love the new creative pens though for the acrylic ink in them. Very opaque like posca but slightly more soft so it doesn't just absolutely eat every type of paper you use it on. I just wish the colors weren't so limited.

@EnsignInsights 2 ай бұрын

Yes! I agree with that comparison of brush tips. They're so great for paint pens brush pens though. Sharpie has a lot of colors in all their other pens so I hope they add more for these too!

Have you tried the Arrtx Brush Tip Paint Marker, in the sense of firmness of the brush tip and opaqueness of paint?

@EnsignInsights 2 ай бұрын

Ok I have tried a few generic ones from amazon. I think that was one of the brands. And I didn't like the brush tip, it seemed even softer. But I might be remembering wrong! It could have been a different brand. I didn't keep them because I didn't like them. But I will be keeping the Sharpies and Karins!

Put some tape around the crack after each time using it. If you have electrical tape it looses it stick after a while use that tape first.

@EnsignInsights Ай бұрын

Is that so they don’t dry out? Have you found success with that?

When my caps crack I use tape to "fix" them. It looks horrible but it works ok so you might want to try to have the markers last longer

I have the Karin decobrush markers. They are not opaque as described and they dry out while using them.. are the sharpie the same paint?

@EnsignInsights 2 ай бұрын

Good question! I don't know if they are the same paint. They are both acrylic. If you look closely at my comparison of the two, you can see that the sharpie is a little more opaque. I simply thought that was due to using a brand new pen and a pen that's a couple years old and has been used a lot. So I don't know! I think I'd have to try both brand new to get a perfect comparison.
