Ohuhu Markers: FAQ & Observations from a professional illustrator

There’s been a lot of buzz about Ohuhu markers recently. Is this a marketing campaign or are people naturally gravitating towards a quality product?

After swatching and testing the entire Ohuhu Honolulu Marker set, is this a marker I’d recommend for you?

not recommended for dark to light coloring

blends are a PITA to find (recommend hex)

firm brush nib

WARNING: No numbers on barrel - never take both caps off

no roll bumps don’t work

plastic cap stretch?

expect the silver lettering to wear off

insane numbering system

brush nib extremely firm - impedes flick stroke, hairs on points, noisy due to friction,

i will not be using these markers further so i don’t feel right about offering recommendations on best colors, blends, or usage

good for somoene coloring tiny images once in a while. I do not understand their popularity with pros and/or comic illustrators

“they’re so juicy” is really “it’s a new marker and I’ve been underfilling all my old markers!”

WARNING!!!!! STAINED MY WORKSURFACE!
