Amazon Basics Brush Pen Review for Handlettering | How To Handletter

[@Jusangen]

Can definitely recommend your short email course. Great for someone starting out or wants to get a frame framework for practicing too! Keep it up and I’m glad Amazon made some even if they may end up not being the same quality as the tombow. Tombow is really expensive for a brush when you’re simply learning to letter. At that stage you can’t notice subtle differences anyways. But you do well to point out the thickness. Best and keep it up!

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! And yes, I agree about the pens and am so glad there is an affordable option. Thanks for watching!

[@noor-ge3rp]

[@lianaquinones7087]

Yes! I tried it out, and it really helped me get into lettering! It's crazy how much I've learned from that mini-course!💕😊

Hii I'm considering buying them can you tell me if there is still ink... or important stuff like this please let me know

[@cindyb3028]

I’ve always loved calligraphy and I practice hand lettering every chance I get. I signed up for your course and excited to learn.

[@wenrui96]

Even though you said you're not here to convince us to buy... you are pretty convincing :D (I think I'll be buying it for myself lol)

[@Kricket.B]

For a newbie like me, this is a super option. I won't be so fearful of ruining a pen because the price is so reasonable. Thanks for another great review.

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Totally!! That’s the reason I wanted to share... even though I may not need any pens. 🤣 I know how hard it is to find an affordable brush pen that works!

[@justmaggs]

These are exactly like the Pen & Gear set I got at Walmart this past summer.. also came with the same pen holder! Hmmm.. I think they are ok but I'm not a fan of huge lettering so I don't use them much.

[@TheShisnette]

Thank you for this video! I saw them on Amazon but wasn’t sure of the quality. I have Tombows but to me they are super thick and make my lettering wide. I just feel like I can’t brush letter small enough with them. I’ll have to try these to see if I can make my lettering smaller since you can get a thinner upstroke. 😊

I actually wanted to buy JUST a pack of Crayola Supertips 10 count on Amazon India but luck just doesn't support me and now I don't know any alternate markers to them(by them I mean Crayola Supetips). I think I will just buy these brush pens and a micron pen that's it. I don't have so much budget to buy every thing together so I will just the journal and it's supplies after 2-2 months and maybe start journaling from 2022.

Is it like jel pen or ordinary ball pen. I just meantis that have the issue, while writing with this pen, ink spreads sides or spreads to back sheet. Such issues.?

[@jackiw7]

Do the tips wear out and start to feather as quickly as the Tombows do?

[@tativega3934]

They do, but it depends how rough you are. For me, these deteriorated at about the same rate as Tombow, Kuretake, etc. Downside to these, is you can't order them open stock. You'd need to buy a set that included the replacement color.

[@reallfighterr2061]

Hey i like to draw Pokémon and I wanna ask can make pokemon with these brush pens

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Hi there! I am definitely not the expert in drawing things like that, but my first instinct would be probably not because they are waterbased, so they may bleed together when you add colors. I think alcohol based markers may be the best bet for that kind of drawing, but again, I'm not a pro! Hope that helps!

I do NOT recommend these products! Nearly a fourth of the pens were dried up, some of them didn’t even make a single mark after being newly opened. Only a few colors (4) were nice and bright. Absolute garbage, plus pretty pricey.

Thanku for reviewing the fact that we living in India cannot buy them as always until amazon thinks of selling them.🙄

[@YourMajesty143]

Nope, Amazon is sheisty. Personally, I try to buy from independent businesses who are just sellers/vendors on Amazon, but not affiliated, bc Amazon has monopolized almost every corner of every industry out there. *Let me tell you a story:* After a small successful diaper company refused to sell to Amazon, Jeff Bezos -- in the pettiest move in existence -- was willing to lose millions in profit by dropping the rates of the diaper vendors on his site & to sell them at such a low rate, that it forced the small diaper company into bankruptcy. That's just one of many hundred stories of smaller companies closing down due to this massive conglomerate's power over the market. I'm personally not a fan of water-brush markers like Tombow (I prefer alcohol -- the drink, but also the markers 😜), yet I wouldn't want to see them lose their business. There are so many small companies out there that depend on us consumers. We need to stop letting cost take priority over value (FYI value = you get alot of quality for your investment). Part of the reason so much cheaply made products have flooded our market, is bc we've changed trade laws & anti-trust laws in the 90s. This has made it harder for small businesses like entrepreneurs and "Mom & Pop shops" to compete. I'm currently living off my savings, jobless without unemployment, yet I'll pay the extra few dollars for a small brand if it ensures they stay in business. Please do not get conned into buying dupes, they hurt our economy in the long-run.

[@Msboochie2]

They just followed the Chinese business model. They have been doing the same in. Beauty supply stores for decades. They copy best selling products with substandard materials, under stock and over price best selling products, . Then they push their cheap copies in prime store real estate. Amazon has been doing this to so many prod since the diapers. com hostile takeover. Prismacolors is also a target right now so I don’t buy these Amazon copies, because that is all we’ll have in the futu. Competition brings quality and good prices.
