What a comprehensive review. Love the manner in which you presented your findings. You and your hubby work so well together and of course I love Rosy Thanks for all the time consuming work. It was worth it!
Barbara I’m so glad you felt the work paid off. I got to color with the Tanmit set today and wow...they performed so well! I was so glad that all that testing revealed such a great set of cheap pens.
Recently bought the Tanmit all glitter 160 (half refills) set and they have added comfort grip and canvas bag. The colors and glitter effect are gorgeous and smooth. It’s been about five years since I bought gel pens and I’m blown away at the new options.
I love Aen Art gel pens. The color and number is engraved on the barrel! Under $20 for a set of 120 and the refills are even cheaper. They just glide across the paper. They're just as great as more expensive brands! I'll be sticking with these!
I really really love that you always mention what kind paper your using. It really makes the biggest difference . I really want to try your paper sampler I hope I can get that soon. Paper is just such a boring purchase but it's really important.
FYI, I researched "dye ware" - it's for writing on fabric!! O.M.G. Fabric dye!!! I love watching your quasi-scientific experiments and all your templates! I like your time stamps, too -- it's been v. helpful as I'm comparison shopping.
Thank you for these recommendations. I bought my Tanmit set a year ago as well as other brands. When I'm coloring I like having a wide range of colors to work with. There's nothing worse than coloring a picture and wishing you had more colors to work with. Tanmit by far is my favorite to work with. I only wished Tanmit came with a dark red but aside from that I absolutely love this set. Before this video, I couldn't figure out what GN stood for on the Tanmit pens. So glad you said what it was. I knew the G stood for glitter but couldn't figure out what the N was. So thank you for clearing that up. Awesome informational video!
I am so excited to get my 100-pack of Tanmit gel pens, along with my two-pack of the Sakura Stardust Clear. So excited to start coloring with them. I love your channel, Facebook page, and your Website. I bought the $5.00 Colorist package. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Jennifer. My only qualm about the Sakura Stardust... they don't have enough colors. 13 IS NOT ENOUGH! Lavender and yellow (not just gold) would be really nice!!!
I wish I could find those pens for the price you have. The Amazon Germany which's the closest to where I live sells Tanmit for $75,45 and $92,25 for Reaeon 200 set. It's a huge difference in price. I must to find a coloring alternative since coloring with pencils has given me pain in my hand. Great video, you put so much work on it. Thank you.
I don't really color other stuff, but it's a big part of drawing. I'm in love with the Sakura Glaze pens right now. Not very many colors, but they're gorgeous and the textured ink is fun. You can practically see the ink level drop, though. They've been fun for cartoony stuff.
Hello Jennifer and Steve! Yes your group is awesome. Lots of great members. I appreciate everything that you are doing to expand the adult coloring groups on FB. Great review!
Thank you for providing the results. I'm more concerned with the actual working of the pens as opposed to packaging. I'm very curious to see if the ranking changes based on just the performance of the pens.
Hear, hear. For me this should be much more about pen performance and quality (i.e., smoothness, consistency, lack of "glopping", and so on)--- it's not important to me what the box is like, or how much each pen in a set ends up costing me.
Omg this video is a freaking treat ! Plus it’s over 1 hour long! I’m getting my snack my gel pens and my Johanna Brasford world of flowers I just got today on clearance at target 👍🏻🤩😁😁😁 it’s gonna be a fun night for me 🥳 thank you I just found your channel a week ago and I’ve Been binge watching all your videos since! Gel pen videos and coloring book videos are my favorite !❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE my Reaeon glitter gel pens and I’m thinking of getting the Tanmit pens! Thank you for making this video I really enjoy your channel and I’m so excited I just signed up to be a Bliss Colorest! 😊
Thank you for doing this video. I love coloring with gels and markers better then pencils. I bought the Aen Art Glitter Gel Pens and the Tanmit Gel Pens and loving them both. Thank you cause of this review it was money well spent.
Thank you for the great review!! I joined coloring bliss and I love all the coloring pages you have available for us. Appreciate you and your husbands reviews and other fun videos. You two are awesome!!!
i was looking for gel pens on Amazon .There is more gels then before .Do you have an update version of gel pens. So confusing ! Now they have waterproof .Thank You !
I've got a white label version of the all-glitter pen set, and it's pretty fun. If the sharp edges are bothering you, you can use a nail file to smooth it down. Thanks for this, have ordered the number one set to round out all the glitter, haha.
You guys do the best reviews on youtube!! I was watching a video you did like 3 yrs ago and you were talking about how tiring just getting a shower was for you with chronic illness. I found my self yelling at the tv saying ' me to'!!! ( I love watching TH-cam videos on my tv) lol. It can really take a lot out of ya. I live with chronic pain and coloring really helps pass the time. I'm disabled so I got lots of time on my hands. I've learned so much from you and your hubby, so thank you both very much for what you do!!! I sure would love to win those Gelly rolls lol!!! Please please!! Looking forward to more videos!
Good luck with the giveaway. Sorry to hear you have some chronic issues too. It is very discouraging but we are so blessed to have art and this community to uplift and inspire us. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for such a comprehensive review! Well done! Oh! The set of Tanmit ones are £75 on Amazon UK, not budget at all! My favourite (after trying 4-5 sets) are Chromatek Glitter Pens.
@@OrcinusOrca1995 Hear, hear!! It's so discouraging seeing the price difference between the US and Canada. It makes no sense why things are 2X or 3X the price just because we're on the wrong side of an invisible line. :-( I'll still probably buy them though. :-P
It is very frustrating how the international costs change things for everyone. Maybe you will find similar sets being white labeled and sold in your local market.
I really really like Chromatek products. I got their watercolor paint pens and they're really great. They include an online series of lessons that are actually great. I may grab the chromatek pens thank you
Thank you for your in-depth view of color pins. I'm an old artist with paints and pencils and many other mediums. I just started blending pencil and pin I needed to know the best color pens on a budget. I know there's bigger and better out there. But when you old and poor you go what you can get. Thank you for your Insight.
Thank you so much for this so helpful video, interesting to see your scoring on Castel Arts pens, as this was the brand I was going to buy. I'm in Scotland, so perhaps not so much able to get some of the brands you've tested, thank you 💖
Thank you for your review. I just read it and ordered the Tanmit Gel Pens. They cost a little more but they come in a nice fold zipper pen holder. The pens now have a nice grip for holding the pen. The name and number of the pen is now on the pen body. The cap is the same color as the grip. Besides coming with a few pics to color; it also comes with a swatch chart. The Jelly Rolls are my favorite pens; I just wish that their glitter pens had more colors. Again thanx..
Storing my gel pens is a real struggle. Most of the pens I buy have a nice, soft fold out container. When I am coloring, I pick out 4-5 different colors I know I want to use and keep them in a cup next to my area so I’m not struggling with the fold out of all of my pens. I have found that I love using various different sizes of paint brushes for blending and I keep those in the cup as well. Using the neons have been so much more fun to use since I started using the brushes. I have never been a fan of these in the past so they didn’t get used and I felt I was waisting money. Now I have so much more fun using them. My favorite pens are; Raeaon, ( I really like these because I get a full set of the refills) Colorit , ( also with refills) and Aeon Art pens.
Thank you for this! I bought a set of the Shuttle Art several years ago and I gave them to my kids. I just received another set and I was trying to remember by I did not care for them. Your review went over everything I did not like about them. I think I will send them back and get a better set. Thank you so much! Also there is an updated version of the Aen Art Pens, they are a mixed set not all glitter, and they are in a nice canvas case!
Love your work guys! It takes alot of the confusion out when purchasing. Every brand advertises the same. But they are not all same quality. Thank you! I'm in your giveaway for your Aen Art gel pens. Being in Australia, the import fees and tax sadly take away the reality of a good deal. But I'm grateful that they ship to Australia at all. Thanks guys. Xxxx❤
Price ratio is important. For the price, they are great. A lot of us are used to Sakura and more expensive pens...they are just presenting recommendations not judgments.
This is super interesting. And the information you’re giving is actually making me understand my own pen preferences. Within the set that I own I prefer the glitters and metallics rather than the classics. That’s probably because the classics dry faster so it’s a bit harder to color with them.
Would you do another review on Shuttle Art? They changed and I want to know how much? When I got them from Hobby Lobby, nearly 5 were dry right away. The rest still roughly worked. The larger one (set) I bought off Amazon about 4 or 5 years ago. All except work, except two pastel, silver, and one neon orange which is hit and miss. The three except silver only stopped or have to struggle to get a full stream since this year. The pen set was in extremely cold this past winter or extremely hot temperatures as I retrieved them from storage due to a move. I can't remember if I saw any graying this time in the very light pink and orangey pastel but not in the other colors for sure. 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
very interesting and also cool and helpful video i love gel pens and i love your adorable dog too....u get yourself another subscriber keep the amazing job thanks a lot
Not for nothing but the Aen Art are absolutely top notch. The pen types on each pen. The matching refills. It's so nice. There's a 100 all glitter box, a 100 mixed classic neon glitter and pastel box. There's a zip case set. And they NEVER skip for me. As of yet. I love them
I really like the Tanmit sets packaging because it looks like the Starjoy pencil set packaging. Just went to order the set and Amazon had a super deal with the Tanmit set, the 100 glitter pen set, and an adult swear word coloring book for just under $45! Super stoaked and excited for when it comes. 👍❤ Thankyou for taking the time to test all these out and make a very comprehensive video. And we are Very Very sorry Rose!💖
So I just bought the hobby lobby master's touch 100 gel pen set. (yes I know, bad store, but its my only local craft store XD) I noticed right away that they look exactly like the cheap sets you don't like. So I think they were also most likely produced in the same factory. The label cost is $40 (but with their 50% off sale they were $20, no refills.) So yeah, I should have watched this video first because man are they bad. But to be honest, I only planned on using them with my colored pencils to add highlights or to make metals shiny. So for those of you who want to try them out, I would say just go for the reaeon, aen art, or tanmit pens.
I've watched this video a LOT of times already! This is excellent in helping to choose pencils to buy -- I finally pulled thr trigger last night!!!! I bought... not one of these brands LOL but this video helped so much to know what to look for! TY
I appreciate your review of the gel pens. Your top two are ones I'll buy in the future. I love the Aen glitter gel pens. You had lots of good things to say about them, but I don't see them being all glitter as a reason to mark them lower on the chart. For those who want a large set with all glitter, it would be a plus. And like you say, it's wonderful to have so many colors.
Casey I agree...but for this particular test I was hoping to find a good “all around” set. The only reason I bought the Aen set was because so many people recommended it when I asked, so I knew there was something special worth exploring...they were right!!!
I am so impressed with your video and the research that went into it ❤️ I received Tamnit gel pens for my birthday and was excited it made 🥇 because I absolutely love them. Thank you for inspiring me. I am headed to your website now. Please give Rose a pet from me. She was so well behaved during the video 😍
I have the Color It sets, one regular set and a glitter set, both come in great canvas holders and with refills as well, I wonder how those would hold up against these? Do you consider them good sets? I’d love to know your thoughts….🤔
Oh my gosh I would love to win that prize of the Sakura pen sets! I just lost pretty much everything in a fire and what didn't burn was stolen from me. I would absolutely love that set of pens. Thank you, Brenda 😊
I just got the Reaeon gel pen and just glitter set!! Yes that’s 2 sets cuz I’m an idiot and I thought that the regular set didn’t have glitter in it! But I’m a very happy idiot!! This is my favorite gel pen sets and since they both have refills I’ll be set for life! Well maybe not for life but you know what I mean! I’m in love! I’ve had tanmit and caliart gel pens and they weren’t as good as the ones you showed but they must have upped their game!
Aen Art gel pens are also from the same company as the Tanmit. I bought a Tanmit set and it came with a card from Aen Art thanking me for buying them LOL
This was a super helpful video. I love using gel pens to accent my colored pencil and alcohol marker pictures. I've tried to do some pics in just gel pens (i have a complete glitter set and a mixed set) but the ones labeled as "pastel" come out pretty fluorescent. My question is: Do you have a set you recommend (non metallic/non glitter/not mixed) in which the Pastels are LEGIT pastel and not "Neon"? I'm sure i'd have to get a mixed set with all of those additional in it, but the big thing is having ACTUAL pastel colors.
Enjoyed the video! I just bought some Shuttle Art glitter pens kind of unhappy with them . So my husband let me order the Aen Art glitter set. The difference between the two is night and day. I also have a set of Cedar Markers gel pens .
hello, I need a white gel pen to use for the highlights on my watercolors. I have tried several but after a while they all dry up and no longer work. can you kindly know which brand is the best and how to store them to make them last as long as possible? thank you ps if possible with a thin tip
I don't care if there is a color number or not. The only thing I care about that the pens don't skip and good ink flow. which one do you think are the best in that category because I want the Gell pen to show up on black color also. When I am trying to watch this review it seems as if the Reaeon gel pens are better than the Tanmit gel pens. Or pen are more pigmented which even show up great on black color paper also. I have bought Craft gear and CHROMATEK gel pens. Need your expert opinion, please can you reply to this question? Have you tried Fiskars and Chromatek gel pens (they are rated as the best 2021 artist gel pens) ?
can you tell me where to find a storage gadget for all my supplies i have a lot but im afraid that it wouldnt be enough room for my things my books and paint pencils and markers and gel pens... thank you..
I just absolutely hate using gel pens without grippers on them. What would you suggest for good ones with grippers. That are not horrible expensive like between 50.00 to 90.00 or so? For a decent size set.
HAHA!! 6:49 I have those. When I first got them, I tried to work with the *bleeping bleep* trays. I was patient (for me) And after about 3 weeks, I got totally angered, threw a loud coniption fit, threw the trays at the wall and stuffed all the pens into ziplock bags according to color families. Dumbest thing ever, those trays.
Can't say I watched the whole things, but I watched the results and the worksheet explanation. Very nice. Thank you. As someone who works with pro colorists, I find it a bit... Funny to call people who color colorist. But it is interesting. No disrespect, it just caught me off guard. I was like "if they are colorist, what do they need gel pens for?" lol Thank you Edit: looking at an actual definition, I suppose anyone who adds color in a skillful way is a colorist, so you don't have to hate comment me. Sorry for my ignorance.

What a comprehensive review. Love the manner in which you presented your findings. You and your hubby work so well together and of course I love Rosy Thanks for all the time consuming work. It was worth it!
Barbara I’m so glad you felt the work paid off. I got to color with the Tanmit set today and wow...they performed so well! I was so glad that all that testing revealed such a great set of cheap pens.
OMG, the adorable dog, so cute ... best companions, thanks for all the helpful tips and reviews.
Recently bought the Tanmit all glitter 160 (half refills) set and they have added comfort grip and canvas bag. The colors and glitter effect are gorgeous and smooth. It’s been about five years since I bought gel pens and I’m blown away at the new options.
Jennifer, you and Steve are so appreciated for your reviews
Thanks so much! This was one was way more work than we first thought it would be, but I think it was worth it.
I hope i'll be the winner because i can't afford to buy that kinnd of gel pen. I'm from Philippines
I love Aen Art gel pens. The color and number is engraved on the barrel! Under $20 for a set of 120 and the refills are even cheaper. They just glide across the paper. They're just as great as more expensive brands! I'll be sticking with these!
Very in depth review, thank you for passing all this information on to us.
I really really love that you always mention what kind paper your using. It really makes the biggest difference . I really want to try your paper sampler I hope I can get that soon. Paper is just such a boring purchase but it's really important.
Oh yes I agree. Paper makes such a difference. But I also agree...it’s not a very exciting thing to buy.

FYI, I researched "dye ware" - it's for writing on fabric!! O.M.G. Fabric dye!!!
I love watching your quasi-scientific experiments and all your templates!
I like your time stamps, too -- it's been v. helpful as I'm comparison shopping.
I too was wondering what "dye ware" was. Thanks for researching it.

@coloringbliss I am super excited for this episode!!! I love love love ❤️ gel pens!!!
Me too!! 💗
Gel pens are sooo fun!!
Oh yay! I didn’t realize you had this video. I had asked in another video for a tanmit review. I’m loving them so far, and my set has pen grips!!
I wish I could find those pens for the price you have. The Amazon Germany which's the closest to where I live sells Tanmit for $75,45 and $92,25 for Reaeon 200 set. It's a huge difference in price. I must to find a coloring alternative since coloring with pencils has given me pain in my hand.
Great video, you put so much work on it. Thank you.
It’s like night and day just watching you swatch the Tanmit, after that first set! Talk about polar opposites!
Yes!! I did not expect to find such a big difference between these brands. I’m glad I had this experience
I don't really color other stuff, but it's a big part of drawing. I'm in love with the Sakura Glaze pens right now. Not very many colors, but they're gorgeous and the textured ink is fun. You can practically see the ink level drop, though. They've been fun for cartoony stuff.

I usually blow on the end of the pen with the little hole in it if it stops or goes slow. That usually helps it flow better
Love your work guys! It takes alot of the confusion out when purchasing. Every brand advertises the same. But they are not all same quality. Thank you! I'm in your giveaway for your Aen Art gel pens. Being in Australia, the import fees and tax sadly take away the reality of a good deal. But I'm grateful that they ship to Australia at all. Thanks guys. Xxxx❤
I have a set of Shuttle Art glitter pens and I think they work pretty well for the cheap price.
and they have very unique colours that i haven't found in any other gel pen pack
Price ratio is important. For the price, they are great. A lot of us are used to Sakura and more expensive pens...they are just presenting recommendations not judgments.
woah. you put great effort in this review, I'm not really huge on pens but this review deserves a subscription, and so I did. Bless you!
Tanmit now comes with a great case - with the name stamped on the outside helping to differentiate between cases.
This is super interesting. And the information you’re giving is actually making me understand my own pen preferences. Within the set that I own I prefer the glitters and metallics rather than the classics. That’s probably because the classics dry faster so it’s a bit harder to color with them.
“Joy and Hope Coloring Book” might be a great cheap coloring book for you to try. Lots of pictures and it’s on sale right now. Thanks for the reviews.
I love using Jelly rolls they look nice when dry like you painted the picture.
Agreed! Always a delight to reach for my Gelly Roll pens.
Would you do another review on Shuttle Art? They changed and I want to know how much? When I got them from Hobby Lobby, nearly 5 were dry right away. The rest still roughly worked. The larger one (set) I bought off Amazon about 4 or 5 years ago.

This gives me so much joy. Thanks for the comment.
I really like the Tanmit sets packaging because it looks like the Starjoy pencil set packaging.

Super stoaked and excited for when it comes. 👍❤ Thankyou for taking the time to test all these out and make a very comprehensive video. And we are Very Very sorry Rose!💖
Thank you for the hard work you did of the gel pens. And for Rose too who put up with all the noise

So yeah, I should have watched this video first because man are they bad. But to be honest, I only planned on using them with my colored pencils to add highlights or to make metals shiny. So for those of you who want to try them out, I would say just go for the reaeon, aen art, or tanmit pens.
Wonderful review thank you, Jennifer & Steve!
I've watched this video a LOT of times already! This is excellent in helping to choose pencils to buy -- I finally pulled thr trigger last night!!!! I bought... not one of these brands LOL but this video helped so much to know what to look for! TY
Thank you Jennifer for your TH-cam reviews. This video on gel pens is terrific!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Yesss thank you so much 🥰 I was having troubles picking the perfect set.. you go Jen! 😇
Very Informa and great options. Thank you for your expertise!!
Your sheet that looks at everything is amazing, just love yourself pen comparisons.
Thank you so much for this video Jennifer and Steve. Love this one. Also, Jennifer, I'm loving that purple in your hair. Looks great! 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video and 💜💜💜💜💜 thanks 😊
@@ColoringBliss Thank you to
Thanks for sharing your experience with us about the coloring gel pens!
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching
I love that you have time stamps or chapters! Do you ship internationally?
Excellent video!
I appreciate your review of the gel pens. Your top two are ones I'll buy in the future. I love the Aen glitter gel pens. You had lots of good things to say about them, but I don't see them being all glitter as a reason to mark them lower on the chart. For those who want a large set with all glitter, it would be a plus. And like you say, it's wonderful to have so many colors.
Casey I agree...but for this particular test I was hoping to find a good “all around” set. The only reason I bought the Aen set was because so many people recommended it when I asked, so I knew there was something special worth exploring...they were right!!!
It would be a fun video to do a battle of the glitter gel pens!! Ooooo
This is very helpful, thank you for sharing
I lovee your dog in the back! 😍😍
I like your review on the gel pens
I am so impressed with your video and the research that went into it ❤️ I received Tamnit gel pens for my birthday and was excited it made 🥇 because I absolutely love them. Thank you for inspiring me. I am headed to your website now. Please give Rose a pet from me. She was so well behaved during the video 😍
I have the Color It sets, one regular set and a glitter set, both come in great canvas holders and with refills as well, I wonder how those would hold up against these? Do you consider them good sets? I’d love to know your thoughts….🤔
Shuttle Art were my very first gels. Year later it’s Pentel Sparkles, Uniball Whites Golds ect and Sakuras. Nostalgic on Shuttle Art.
Oh my gosh I would love to win that prize of the Sakura pen sets! I just lost pretty much everything in a fire and what didn't burn was stolen from me. I would absolutely love that set of pens. Thank you, Brenda 😊
I got reaeon gel pen set last July and they are still great. Thanks for great comparison
Tanm it now comes with a great case - with the name stamped on the outside helping to differentiate between cases.
I just got the Reaeon gel pen and just glitter set!! Yes that’s 2 sets cuz I’m an idiot and I thought that the regular set didn’t have glitter in it! But I’m a very happy idiot!! This is my favorite gel pen sets and since they both have refills I’ll be set for life! Well maybe not for life but you know what I mean! I’m in love! I’ve had tanmit and caliart gel pens and they weren’t as good as the ones you showed but they must have upped their game!
Have fun with all your pens!!! Sounds like a happy accident (never an idiot for buying art supplies) that will lead to hours of creativity!!!
Aen Art gel pens are also from the same company as the Tanmit. I bought a Tanmit set and it came with a card from Aen Art thanking me for buying them LOL
That’s great to know, thanks! I wondered but we didn’t have solid evidence like we did with the other sets.
This was a super helpful video. I love using gel pens to accent my colored pencil and alcohol marker pictures. I've tried to do some pics in just gel pens (i have a complete glitter set and a mixed set) but the ones labeled as "pastel" come out pretty fluorescent. My question is: Do you have a set you recommend (non metallic/non glitter/not mixed) in which the Pastels are LEGIT pastel and not "Neon"? I'm sure i'd have to get a mixed set with all of those additional in it, but the big thing is having ACTUAL pastel colors.
This was very scientific. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you and Hubby for all your research! 🤗🤩
Soo helpful. Your both amazing !
Can you please write the type of paper used I can’t see in description
Enjoyed the video! I just bought some Shuttle Art glitter pens kind of unhappy with them . So my husband let me order the Aen Art glitter set. The difference between the two is night and day. I also have a set of Cedar Markers gel pens .
Good to know about your own experiences. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video by the way. Does Colorit have basic gel pens? I have the glitter set, but have been trying to find a basic no glitter set.
I have a small set of Tamnet gel pens but they have rubber grippers on the small set.
hello, I need a white gel pen to use for the highlights on my watercolors. I have tried several but after a while they all dry up and no longer work. can you kindly know which brand is the best and how to store them to make them last as long as possible? thank you
ps if possible with a thin tip
I don't care if there is a color number or not. The only thing I care about that the pens don't skip and good ink flow. which one do you think are the best in that category because I want the Gell pen to show up on black color also. When I am trying to watch this review it seems as if the Reaeon gel pens are better than the Tanmit gel pens. Or pen are more pigmented which even show up great on black color paper also. I have bought Craft gear and CHROMATEK gel pens. Need your expert opinion, please can you reply to this question? Have you tried Fiskars and Chromatek gel pens (they are rated as the best 2021 artist gel pens) ?
your dog is absolutely adorable!
Great review thank you
Have you ever reviewed Hethrone gel pens? I just received a 60 set after buying a 24 set. I like this set more than my castles.
What kind of gel pens sets do you have ?
Mine favorite brand is the 240 tamit brand.i want those.
Thanks for all the work you put into this!
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Please test the Dollar 💵 Tree 🌲 JOT Gel Pens for $1.25. Pretty good if you want to gift them to kids and or as stocking stuffers.
I can't seem to buy these on Amazon because im from the UK :( ?? xx
I recently purchased the Colorit 96 Gelpen set, Coloring Bliss, do you think this was a good purchase for me? I'm new to using gel pens for coloring!
can you tell me where to find a storage gadget for all my supplies i have a lot but im afraid that it wouldnt be enough room for my things my books and paint pencils and markers and gel pens... thank you..
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
Will the tanmit bleed thru on bible pages or thin paper
i ended up with some Artist Loft gel pen pack. they any good?
I just absolutely hate using gel pens without grippers on them. What would you suggest for good ones with grippers. That are not horrible expensive like between 50.00 to 90.00 or so? For a decent size set.
HAHA!! 6:49 I have those. When I first got them, I tried to work with the *bleeping bleep* trays. I was patient (for me) And after about 3 weeks, I got totally angered, threw a loud coniption fit, threw the trays at the wall and stuffed all the pens into ziplock bags according to color families. Dumbest thing ever, those trays.
😂😂 I can totally feel your rage. What were they thinking?! Other then...cheap cheap cheap. Thanks for the awesome comment
@@ColoringBliss I have and am actually using the shuttle art pens right now. The trays only lasted until binders for the pens got here.
what a great review!
Glad you liked it!
Can't say I watched the whole things, but I watched the results and the worksheet explanation.
Very nice. Thank you.
As someone who works with pro colorists, I find it a bit... Funny to call people who color colorist. But it is interesting.
No disrespect, it just caught me off guard.
I was like "if they are colorist, what do they need gel pens for?" lol
Thank you
Edit: looking at an actual definition, I suppose anyone who adds color in a skillful way is a colorist, so you don't have to hate comment me. Sorry for my ignorance.
Your family is so cute !! You, your Hubbie and puppy hehe!
