Not bad at all for the price
I was ordering new markers to try and came across these metallic art pens.They are more metallic than my pic shows. The flow is pretty good, except for the lavender for some reason. Decent smoothness over the paper for metallic pens.They passed the kid test with one complaint - there isn't an orange one.Overall, very good quality for the price. Now we see how long they last.

The felt tip slides up into the pen part
The white one is not too shimmery, or opaqueOver time, the felt will slide up into the plastic part,just yank it back down

Super Easy to Use & Great Bang for Your Buck!
Just been getting into calligraphy and these are honestly easier to use than the fancy tombows. They are so pretty (even better than I expected) and I 100% feel like I got my moneys worth.10/10 would recommend!

Another good set for beginners
First I was kind of disappointed when I used it, because it was very watery looking and felt as if it is directly absorbed into the paper (esp on black paper). But after a few uses, it started showing the colors and shimmers. Then when the ink dries, the color shows up on the paper; before that it looks just like water marks. Also, you may need to tilt the pen so much to get the shimmers, as it sometimes stuck the bottom of the tip. It can be a practice set for your calligraphy with brush pens.

So good!!!
Initially rated these 4 stars but dropped 1 because red is too dark and black is too reflective, to the point where I can't even cover it back up lol I mean I guess this can potentially create an interesting effect but a pink cap that draws out almost dark brown color is too intenseThis is such a good pack! it's realy opaque which is good. The only thing I would comment on is the cover photo has brightness adjusted very high, probably to pop the white. Here is my experience using these pens:1. All the colored ones are darker than it appeared in the photo by at least 3 shades2. The white applies transparent but as it dries it becomes opaque. It's like a magic trick which then require the user a little getting use to. It doesn't dry completely opaque like the picture. To achieve that effect you'll need to apply it 1-2 more times after it dries. If you don't wait till it dries and apply a second coat it'll just push the previous pigment to the direction of your brush strokes.For example please look at the pic I uploaded.It's also on my instagram: i.leo.strationThe actual white part is done with Jelly Roll White Gel Pen. I applied white in the middle along the inner edge of the coat. On top of the blue as you can see it's not very visible with one layer. It did add some softness and opaqueness to the blue below which I like.I also used silver to draw the pattern along the inner edge of the coat as well. Comparing to acrylic these are a little dark, but reflects light the same way, so I could have potentially played with lighting. I feel like these also dry even darker than when just applied where as acrylic and watercolor tends to dry lighter.Anyway, I had fun using these. If you are like me who just needs light metalic touches to your drawing then I would highly suggest these! Instead of having to pour acrylic and clean the brush and apply constantly bc detail brush holds so little acrylic lol

Just What I Wanted
I bought this pen set for hand lettering. These pens have very soft tips. Very little pressure is needed to create thick downstrokes, and a thin upstroke is difficult and takes practice. These are very pigmented and color brightly and opaquely on dark paper, and the color is the same on white paper, which I really like. As others have commented, the white ink takes a while to show up. It applies clear/wet, and turns opaque after it dries, which takes a few minutes. The white is the least opaque, and works best if you don't go over it more than once. White doesn't show on white paper at all. I recommend using these on a very smooth finish paper to preserve the tips/brushes, as I can see that they are delicate and will fray with use on a rough surface or too much pressure. Overall, these are a good brush marker for the price.

Smooth, vibrant (sharpie won't cover it)
These work very well, the tip is smooth and glides easily across paper. Pretty colors.Only qualm is that I like to outline in drawings in black sharpie and you can actually see this ink on top of black sharpie (it doesn't cover it up).Consensus: Decent brush pens, but not the best

No metallic here
I was so disappointed when I went to use these that there was no metallic shine. The product stated it did, and thatโs why I bought them. Waste of money.
