    Excellent review, Karen !
    It was interesting to see this piece done completely in grey scale……right from the start, I thought of putting a bright pink or red lipstick on her…and lo and behold….🤩🤩🥳🥳
    Thank you, as always, for your fab tutorials and videos.

    I bought the 12 pack people palette when they launched the ABTs, paid $40 and hated them! I thought maybe I had gotten a defective set but it looks like no, they are really bad. I should have returned them. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was so disappointed I never bought their products again, I have several watercolor markers I got before the ABTs that I like, but don’t love. I love the Fudenosuke Brush pens, thought, for lettering.
    You did a great job at saving your drawing, despite those awful markers.

    • @KarenCampbellArtist
      @KarenCampbellArtist  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about your experience with them! Lesson learned!! Thank you for watching! I’ll add those brush pens to my list!

    I like the grayscale and do see how the Tombow nib would be better as a brush tip (which is my preference) when doing this kind of coloring. I am not a fan of some Tombow and I think Copic is over rated. I do use Spectrum Noir and a few other types of brush markers though my favorite is Faber Castell Pitt Brush pens. They have some marvelous BIG brush pens. Thank you for sharing

    • @KarenCampbellArtist
      @KarenCampbellArtist  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh yes!! I have them all (the Big Brush Pitt Pens. Like ALL 🙈🙈🙈 it’s a problem). I like Spectrum Noir too! Although sadly I’ve had some inconsistent batches of those as well. Ohuhus ($1) and ArtBeeks (50 cents) are my top faves though if you ever wanted to experiment with a different brand, those are great alternatives! Thanks for your kind comments!! ❤️

    • @bonnieravenstar860
      @bonnieravenstar860 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@KarenCampbellArtist I love brush pens because my preferred art is always a brush (acrylic, watercolor etc.) I will have to check out Ohuhus and Artbeeks (never heard of them) . Sometimes generics will surprise you.

    Laughing my ass off here… that’s pretty much how I deal with stupid plastic packaging! Thank you for the review!!! Did you see? The tip of the brush was white, like there was nothing left in there….

    Karen, you probably got a dud set. I have most of the Tombow alcohol colors & they work much better than these. I will say that they do tend to become a bit dry mid-project, but I will shake them & let them sit a while & then they’re good to go.

    • @KarenCampbellArtist

      I sure hope it was a dud set!!! I usually love Tombow!
