Жыл бұрын

Today we are going to take a look at a very affordable set of 120 alcohol dual brush markers. They come in a high-quality travel case that includes as 20 sheet marker pad, a swatch for you to color and a plastic sheet to place between pages of a sketchbook. You can find the Sanjoki dual brush markers on Amazon in 120 and 80 sets: amzn.to/3rTxxiG

Pros:
Nice color selection
Great inkflow
Blendable
High-quality travel/storage case
Juicy
Price
Cons:
The low price on these markers are only on Amazon USA (they are much more in other countries)
Bottom Line:
These would make a great gift for anyone looking to begin marker coloring. They would also make a nice travel set for an experienced marker user who doesn't want to travel with their costlier markers. This is a fantastic gift idea! You can find Sanjoki markers in 80 and 120 sets here: amzn.to/3rTxxiG

The packaging is long gone to the recycle. I too am impressed with the juiciness and blend ability.

I ordered these when you first mentioned them. I scanned the swatch chart, then printed it the card stock I am likely to use. I have not used alcohol markers before. I did a small pumpkin in my sketchbook and I created another pumpkin on some heavy inkjet card stock (I purchased this card stock from Red River, which I love, but it was too thick for my printer). I really like the way the markers behaved on the inkjet card stock. At least I won’t be wasting the inkjet card stock. I also put my markers in numerical order. Great value, since I am just starting my marker journey. Also bought some for Christmas gifts for the young girls in my life.☺️. I did have a couple splatter on my paper too, surprised me.

I'm really glad you mentioned the difference between the "brush" nibs. This also goes for Ohuhu markers. They don't have a real brush nib, like Copics do or Shinhans or W&N. They use a bigger bullet nib with a soft tip to pretend it's a brush nib. But it's not a real brush nib. You can clearly see the difference in your test. Copic brush nibs draw much smoother and they act more like a paint brush, going from darker to lighter color in each stoke. The fake brush tips of Sanjoki's and Ohuhu's don't do that. They put the same amount of ink on the paper within each stroke, with no transition from dark to light. I find it very deceiving and dishonest when youtubers don't mention this (huge) difference when they review Ohuhu's or other cheap brush markers. So thanks for your honesty. You're my #1 go to youtuber when I need reviews of art supplies now. ❤

@thefrugalcrafter 10 ай бұрын

Thanks, neither are actual brush nibs like the zig teal brush pens. The higher end ones are made of neoprene (often called foam rubber) and the cheaper ones are compressed felt (often referred yo as fiber)

I didn’t know Ohuhu had finally updated their brush maker range! That’ll be exciting. These look like they’d be great for someone just starting out, or as you suggested, cheaper for travel. I did notice a lot of similar colors in each color family (but that could be my monitor). I guess it would be nice once markers started to dry out…

I bought the 120-piece set of Sanjoki Markers in early February, this year. You must have a new version as my markers are square. The case is the same, and the colors appear the same. These were my first set of brush tips, so I was excited to get such a deal. However, I was disappointed when several were dry. I called for an exchange but was offered a refund without returning them. I reluctantly accepted as I did like them. I imagine I wasn't the only one that complained, and I wouldn't see them again. I'm happy to see your video about them as I figured I got the last off-brand that wouldn't be back. Thanks for showing them!

O.k. I'm back 🤭Giggles🤭 Loved this tutorial @ Lindsay Weirich . I wanted to let you know that on the Instructions it says when you 1st open your markers for the 1st time to twist off the cab the cap so that it will not not spray out. I think it's the pressure of when it pops it sucks out some of the paint. I've colored a couple cards with these markers and I did like them. They seem to flow really nice. And picking three colors that would blend together did a really nice blending job. I was impressed with this set and I'm glad that I purchased this set right after your tutorial. I had purchased another set at the same time, but didn't really like them. You are an amazing artist Lindsay, I really enjoy watching you paint, color and draw. Your one of my biggest mentors.

Really interesting and informative video -- thanks! I have a full set of Ohuhus and absolutely love them but if I had to start all over again, I think I would go with a cheaper set while I learned all the ins and outs of alcohol markers. So much of what makes a marker "good" anyway are our own little preferences and the sorts of projects we do with the markers. I recently got a set of Copic Ciao's and was really excited because people go on and on about Copic but, to be honest, I find little difference between them and my Ohuhus.

Hullo Lindsay, you create the most phenomenal review videos! I do enjoy watching you compare the brands. I purchased Ohuhu for a budget marker, but I gave them to a nephew after I purchased aCopic set and decided that I could find plenty of choices and a much reduced price per marker off of e-Bay! I just kept watch and never paid more than $3.95 a marker. I did get a few duplicates but they are great for a traveling pouch and my studio set is still complete. I have found the Strathmore 400 series a good marker paper pad! I did purchase several brands, even a Copic pad and the 500 Strathmore they are just not worth the extra money to me. I am more likely to buy card stock than invest in a paper for markers. If you do a LOT of marker illustrations to get the longest life from your markers you will be happier with the smooth marker paper! I am also glad that you got so excited about the packaging and re-using it!

I wish I had heard of DaVinci paints before spending my money on the mijello paints! I did use the Korean paints for many pictures. I am now a convert to DaVinci paints after watching Denise Soden’s videos on her palettes she curated for the company! I have a few brands of paint in my large studio palette but it overwhelmingly filled with DaVinci colors! I encourage you to watch more videos and I wholeheartedly recommend DaVinci watercolors! I believe that the only drawback to DaVinci paints is international shipping can get high! You can always buy American Journey from Cheap Joes art supply store. My best to you and your art journey!

When I pick up alcohol at the store to clean marker, including Sharpies, off of plastic containers, I make sure I am getting the 91%. The 71% doesn't work at all. I thought that might be useful to know for those of you putting plastic sheets behind the marker page you are working on to prevent bleed through to the next page. Great tip from Lindsay in this video letting us know that the bleed through might stay on that plastic sheet to come back through on the front of the next page you work on unless you clean it off first.

One for each of them, and one for me. 😊 They arrived pretty quickly (I don't have prime) and in good condition. Thank you for the review. Oh yeah, also....the freebie watercolor pans to put in tins? I'm got just as excited about that as you did. 😆

This video was so helpful. Thank you! A past student to whom I taught Grade 5, 9 and 10 English is now a grown man who works as a massage therapist in a sports therapy clinic and develops his beautiful art work in whatever spare time he has. He is such beautiful person! He came to our cottage this summer and stayed overnight so we had time for an in-person visit. I find that to be very special for a man who in his thirties with a full life of his own, and I certainly don't take that gift for granted! It was such a privilege to teach him and what a blessing it has been that he chose to develop an adult friendship with me. He lives in another province, which is about an 18 hour drive or a plane ride away, so knowing I wouldn't likely see him for a while, I asked him some questions the process he followed while creating a recent piece of art. That allowed me further information about his artist tools of choice. I can now send him a surprise package of art supplies! Your video was a tremendous help, and I'm so grateful! ❤

They seem to blend really well.

They do because they are juicy.

Thank you, Lindsay! 👏🏻❤️ I was trying to colour a stamped image the other day with my Arttx and struggled to get them to blend properly. Seeing your test makes me realize why. 🥺 I have been thinking of getting some of my favourite pigments in Copics because I want the option of refills. Is it possible to make my own refills with markers like the Sanjoki?

Yes, you can refill any alcohol marker. I mix alcohol inks and colorless blending solution to make any Color i want. I pull out the chisel nib and use a pipette to drop the ink in.

@@thefrugalcrafter thank you Lindsay. ❤️😘 So I guess when some of my current markers dry up I will become the mad scientist and get out the gloves! 😜

I have an older set of the Sanjoki markers, about 2 years I guess and they have changed the colours in the 120 set a bit. I have 3 more cool greys and one more warm grey but do not have 133, 134, 137, 107 or 17 (but I have 131 too) so it looks like they took out those greys to make room for more skin tones.
