[@personalestok6693]

Phew! I thought about trying those and I’m glad I haven’t. I’m happy with my Ohuhu and Copic Thanks for doing this.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Any time! Glad this helped!

[@WendyColeArt]

Loved this! I think you did a wonderful job with those markers. I have a lot of greys in my matker stash and hardly use them but now I will!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you so much! Yes! Pull them out! Enjoy them!

[@sheilacym]

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.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

We are like minded! So glad you enjoyed it!!! 🩷

[@jenniferk7707]

How cute! It reminds me of those pictures that are all black and white with just one item in a bright color❤

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

That’s what I was going for! I love those too!!

Good review Karen thanks for sharing.

[@eagercrafter_9014]

Loved the video and the live review process. And the alternatives. Also, were you listening to Dr. Who in the background (I kept hearing the Tardis).

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Aw thanks so much!! No that was something significantly LESS exciting! It was just my husband Sean on a conference call 😂

[@trinabaker3186]

Very pretty !

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you! 😊

[@chrispessoa]

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]

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!

[@bonnieravenstar860]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

So true!!! I have all of my go to art supplies on my website if you'd like to learn more! Hope it helps! :) awesomeartschool.com/p/artsupplies

[@ryannemillard7483]

I have a couple of the tombow alcohol markers and i didn't like them either. It's the nib... can't seem to get it to work for me😂. Thanks for the video. She's pretty

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you for watching!!! I know! Something is up!

[@Ameylynn]

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….

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Exactly!!!! I did but I didn’t think the camera was picking that up. So strange!

[@kateivester3122]

❤❤❤❤😊

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thanks for watching!

[@kellywilson2147]

Karen just drew Quinn Morgendorffer!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Who the heck is that?! Off too Google! 😂

[@thepositivevibesartist]

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!
