I'm thinking about buying this set since it has ink pens AND a pencil. Are there any other sets that are better or similar? Any with markers?

I wonder about it's quality - your kit is only 1$ more expensive than Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Pen (which is recommended by Robertson)
>>2309776
those "pens" are often just thin tip markers, your better off buying a really nice fountain pen like most mangakas use. If you don't want to smudge the ink try using a a cloth clove with the fingers (besides the pink) cut out.

>immediately dismissing art supplies because of how they're marketed
pic related is a fantastic fucking pen and look at the trash they plastered on the packaging.
A large amount of really good art supplies are Japanese, and that usually results in them being marketed as anime/manga supplies.

Forgot the pic
It really does boggle my mind why they slapped that drawing of all things on it though. Like really.
I prefer Faber Castell's PITT pens because I find the ink to be a little darker and a little more hardy.

it's shit. Sakura brush pens are shit
>>2309811
The Sakura brush pen is just a molded felt tip. The Pentel is an actual brush.

that's probably because they use india ink in those and the sakuras use pigmented ink
>>2309776
that manga pen is just repackaged the ArtLine pigment liner
>>2312332
India ink is just being used another name for pigmented ink. It's not actual india ink which uses shellac.
Probably too late to inquire about, but if you have an open stock store nearby that would probably be a bit more cost efficient.

The manga drawings on the Faber-Castell Pitt pens are a thing of beauty

these are pretty bad anon. these things leak though the paper
>>2314035
These are the worst liners I've ever used. The Sakura Microns are actually pretty decent and inexpensive.
>>2314040
I was just pointing out the drawings on the packages, I haven't used any FC product outside of Polychromos and some of their graphite pencils.
>>2314043
I'm starting to like their MicroPerm pens for small magnets I make for friends. Barely any smudging when applying a glaze/varnish on top compared to the Microns (even with a few hours of drying time).
