Ohuhu Alcohol Markers Set

EVERYTHING you could want to know or think about with the ohuhu markers: For a first time user of alcohol markers, they were phenomenal. To an extent. If you are just thinking about color variety and not the marker aspect it is somewhat lacking. They offer warm and cool grays in a decent range that I feel most sets neglect as well as a great black. My picture shows (my more recent purchase) the 100 set. Looking at this set you can see there are a wide range of colors but if you look closely you will see missing of browns and your blues and greens are neglected having less range in their colors and the purple THE FEW purples they have are all warm more red-toned purples. So to list just in a sort of more in-depth flaws: 1. Your first 20ish markers (at least in the 100 set) are all reds and pinks (The 80 set matches just with fewer markers from each grouping) 2. There are barely any browns meaning barely any skin tones 3. I've seen different artists with colorless blenders and overall I feel like there are more colors than they actually sell and its always random which ones and how many of each colors you get. If you buy the 80 set your florescent colors which many people still debate whether they are just highlighters or actually alcohol based, are seemingly randomized? 4. Following up from 3 there just seems to be a lack of color consistency and hidden colors that as an artist might really improve the overall appeal of the set compared to touchnew or touchfive/other brands. 5. There are no refills. If you use one marker more than any other. There are as I've seen, no way to replace the marker without buying another 20/40/80/100 set and even then because of 3/4 unless the color is like black then its not a guarentee that you will get the same marker again but also needing a singular marker and having to buy doubles of the set just seems insane? 6. A follow up of 5, other sells for example touchnew NAME BRAND COPIC (shoutout) offer sets, like sets of blue sets of green skin tones etc. That is something ohuhu just doesn't offer which again if you use a lot of fricken browns or some other color then you're at a loss on how to acquire more without just buying the entire set again which makes them not only less affordable in the long run but also impractical. I don't want 160 markers just to get another black or SPECIFIC color. They could easily fix this with supplement color sets and indiviual markers. 7. This going back to the lack of consistency in colors and such but I know for a fact that they have a colorless blender. SuperRaeDizzle used one when they did the video about them (Might have been sponsored) This should be an add on or heck take one of the TONS of reds and replace it with the colorless blender or again given me the option to add it onto the purchase for like 3 dollars. (3 because they're only 50 cents a marker) If they sold singular markers and had their own website they would really increase their profit margin anyways and we'd get something I've seen several complaints about. 8. This is a trifecta. The unique shape of the marker caps which don't match the given swatch paper and swatches don't match the marker (should do this anyways) are easily lost because their design doesn't let you put the cap on the other end and clasp on the other cap. There are no color names! don't put it on the marker thats fine but could they at least be on the paper swatch you give us so making color schemes is easier without using the ink to make it itself especially since you can't replace singular markers. Which I can't stress enough the limitation as a company you are setting for yourself because if its offered I would buy it. You could rival copic with affordability with the quality if you just offered something that most low end alternatives don't. 9. You don't have brush tips. Okay so copic markers are so desireable because the brush nib it gives superior control and line dexterity that besides being refillable and HUMUNGOUS color palette is one of their most successful features. If you offered it (not me because I don't like it) People would buy it BECAUSE YOU ARE SO AFFORDABLE if I was willing to pay 3 dollars on a normal markers sold singularly you bet people would be willing to pay 4/5 for a brush tip even if I had to buy an entirely new marker instead of being able to refil the marker I would choose ohuhu every time if they OFFFERED this sort of options. They are very pigmented and the quality of the markers is amazing it could be benefitted from having these extra options that make people take the plunge with copics that they could instead take with ohuhu at such affordable prices. 10. I feel like I virtually know nothing about these markers when I read about them on the amazon page. More emphasis should be put on the alcohol marker part because all of the ohuhu marker products when searching for ohuhu items is just rather confusing or just not clear enough to make sure you're getting the right thing. Over all I feel the marketing for ohuhu products to be odd and more vague commercial feeling like someone who has never used to products wrote them. It's also not easy to find what you're looking for sometimes and it just isn't as informative as I'd like the products to be. 11. I've already mentioned this but seriously you have a colorless belendor I know it I've seen it how the heck am I supposed to get one? Where from who? Another brand rather than ohuhu? Make a comprehensive website that makes sense. Heck offer a subscription box to show off your other products and introduce me to new things, but offer me SOMETHING. I would pay 3 dollars for a single marker (ohuhu normally like 50cent a marker 100set = $50) I would buy the extra like 12/10/8 pack of specific color groups if it meant I could get more greens or other colors to increase my collection I wouldn't mind paying that if IF ****it was offered**** To me that is perfectly normal for alcohol markers and if it meant that I could expand my collection of colors in a brand I like (I don't like brush nibs tbh) I would do it but its not offered. There are pros PROS WORTHWHILE PROS! They are basically 50 cents per marker, that puts them at basically the cheapest on the market I've seen for REAL GENUINE alcohol markers. If everything goes right and you get a normal standard quality set the markers are very juicy and I love how they function despite not having a brush nib (which I don't want anyways personally) They swatch great and if the color palette supplemented the colors maybe 80 for red green yellow different groups and then 80 for a mix then they would blend effortlessly. They blend personally really well but paper does matter! THEY OFFERED A SHEET PROTECTOR?!?!?! This was the best opening the 100 set I got 3 color sets (I think a coupon i don't remember) and a paper protector that I didn't get when I originally bought the 80 set. It's thick and durable offering REAL protection to the next sheet of paper which really in my mind sets them apart from other sellers. Everyone knows alcohol bleed and they offered a protector that is longer than it is wide (ohuhu I'd reccommend a perfect square to maximize surface area) It comes with a carry case my only complaint being the markers themselves make the case hard to close properly and the sheet protector doesn't go back in the way it originally did making that difficult to fit in there as well. Again something I'd buy if it were offered is a carry case that has mini compartments so the markers had less room to move making them easier to carry and keep on their side like you're supposed to with alcohol markers so one end doesn't dry up. These markers of pigmented and when you get the standard quality they are very juicy and if they had color packs I wouldn't look at other sources to get the browns. If they offered singular sold markers or maybe you can only buy in amounts of 3 or more I would buy them. I see no reason to look at pricey copics if ohuhu accommodated some of the serious quality options I've mentioned in my review. Not to mention it all techinically would be more profitable. Overall: They aren't perfect but they do what they are meant to for the most part. I can't give them five stars because there are some serious flaws but I can give 3 because this markers are my favorite and function like I wanted and need.
