Atopen Pastel Set

A bit pricey but hey....it's a great pen! Glides smoothly across any paper. I like the nice size, both the nib and the pen itself. Feels perfect in my hand. Helps me focus on my art and not on how annoying the pen in my hand is (THIS one is definitely NOT annoying). I have rheumatoid arthritis, AND osteoarthritis so when I do art, I just want to do art. I don't like skinny pens, they make my hands hurt worse. Art takes me out of my pain, as long as I have the right tools. This one does the job nicely for me. I would highly recommend it!

These might be the smoothest fineliners I've ever used. They honestly beat Sakura, Copic, and Faber-Castel in some regard. I just wish they came in more sizes. 10/10 FYI I use them for drawing not writing

Good pens

This product has been on my wishlist for a while. Bought these on a deal too good to pass up! Recently, I've been exploring ink and wash with colors outside the usual range of gray, sepia, black. Pens look and feel wonderful in your hand. A premium luxury feel. The flow of ink is juicy and smooth. Odorless ink dries quickly. Four of the pastel pens are a true pastel - very light ink. The green and coral pens would be categorized as more of a mid-range value. Haven't had them long enough to say, but I feel like I will get a lot of use from these pens. The brush tip is stunning, but I can only evaluate the fine nib side for my purposes. The only drawback I could find, which could be a benefit to some users, is difficulty to remove the caps for users with dexterity or pain issues. Brush side is easier, but fine nib side cap could prove impossible to remove for some. Obviously, this is to ensure pens last for a long time, but this is an issue that will continue to effect me personally as I age, and is worth mentioning in this review. Absolutely beautiful pens! I'm excited to try the other varieties.

Pens are great. I use them for my ink tracing.

I got the single black pen. I'm trying to learn cursive by using a workbook. This pen has been perfect for it. It doesn't leave many bleed marks and the lines are thick and bold. It has good traction on the paper and doesn't slip away from your fingers. Overall, fantastic for learning any form of Calligraphy. I will probably buy again in the future.

Writes nicely and has a fine line.

These are really nice markers with a good, predictable brush tip. I've used several brands of brush markers and these have the best tip in my opinion. It's not too firm but not so pliable that it mushes and makes unwanted marks. None of them have splits in the tip. The lines are clean. The colors are pretty but not exactly what I would expect from a set labeled "pastel." Two are vibrant and deep, and the pink is almost fluorescent. They also don't coordinate with each other super well in my opinion, which is important to me, especially in a set that costs this much. They should go together. The green, pink and orange seem like they're from a totally different set. I expected them to have colors like you see in a set of Mildliners, because that's what I think of when I hear "pastel." But three of these are much more intense than that. They're pretty but they won't work for accents and highlighting in a planner which is what I wanted them for. They'd be good for lettering on cover pages or month dividers though. I included a photo of two lines from each marker. The yellow is totally wrong (it's WAY too intense and I couldn't fix it) and the others aren't perfect but they are very close. The green is a bit darker in person. The lid colors are really misleading. In person, the purple and blue are lovely watery colors like you'd expect from the lids, and I wish the rest were more like those two. The yellow is faint and in poor lighting I almost can't see it on cream paper, but at least it's actually a pastel color!
