have the pins now for quite some time ... am very excited! the colors are spread nicely and paint over himself. they come from the pens home Copic very close, but unfortunately did not have to let pass such a fine soft lace around the colors into each other like Copic. not that this would be a problem. a blender or the grays of Copic rich because even to this effect to achieve. In any case, these pins really great and just right for amateur artists or professional illustrator get the place more than 300 pay for the Copic set the almost same quality of touch twin markers!
