Uni PinFineliner Drawing Pen - Sketching Set of 8-0.1mm / 0.5mm - Black, Dark Gray, Light Gray, and Sepia

Good for shading and drawing

Just as described. If you're drawing detailed illustrations, these will help. Let's say you draw a little mouse, coloured it with gray alcohol based markers but you think its fur need some details voila you're able to add hair one by one. Also it's quite resistant against smudge and when I bought it the price was good.

The set doesn't offer too many nib sizes but I like the colors it comes with. It's very easy to find subtle colors like these. It didn't feel like it lays a lot of ink (for the .5 size), so, I'm not sure if I got a batch that's been sitting for a long time in the warehouse or this is the nature of this pen. I still like them, though. The light grey is really light, especially with .1 nib, it's not visible too much. So, this can help create different effects for shadows.

I really love the ink quality in these. They are worth buying for the price if you are strictly doing line work. HOWEVER: they are not meant for mixed and wet media or over paint or felt unless fully dried as they are extremely sensitive nibs and need to be really covered at all times. Wish they were stronger because the colours are divine!

♡ ♡ ♡ LOOOOVE. The markers have little windows! so you can see the tips/nice size! I find this soooo helpful!

Here’s a pic of the UNI sepia in comparison to Sakura Pigma Micron sepia/brown. If you are looking for a reddish brown, the Uni is not it.I personally prefer the Sakura Pigma Microns to the Uni. Sakura lay down more ink.
