I've bought three sets now, but can only write one review, so I've attached photos of each one I have and the colours inside.-------------This review refers to the "Shonen" brush pen set.Usually one pen goes for about £3, so this selection is good value.It has a nice mix of colours-to me it feels like a sort of autumn/sunset theme. The colours in the set are:-Cold Grey IV 233-Nougat 178-Sanguine 188-Deep Red-Scarlet Red 118-Dark Chrome Yellow 109This is different to the product description on other websites-the colours I got match the ones shown in product photos, so it must be the description of a different set, so be careful.They're lovely pens to use, very strong vivid colours where appropriate (like yellow) and completely waterproof once dry, though they can smear/discolour if you go over black or darker colours. The brush tip can be a bit difficult to make thin lines with, but it's not really an appropriate nib for that in the first place. If you're careful it will keep its shape for a long time.They lose a star because: I already had a deep red, and compared it to the one I got in this pack. There was quite a noticeable difference in colour between the two, though I forgot to take a photo-so be careful and test your colours before using, especially if finishing off something!

I'm a big fan of these PITT pen sets. I always have my black set on hand, and I snap up these different coloured sets when ever I see them. The ink lays down dense and smooth, no messing around, and these give a nice variation in line weight with pressure (more variation than you get from Micron pens). This is 'Sanguine' colour. It's a bit less red than I was expecting, and I'd probably just think of it as a sepia. It looks great for line art, giving a soft and sophisticated look in comparison to a plain black drawing. It is rich enough to look like something a bit different, but it is still neutral enough not to jump out as a 'coloured ink'.

Good for beginners and professionals.

These are obviously made by people who know their pens. They're wide enough to be easy to hold, even with RSI pain, but not so big as to be cumbersome. I'm no expert, but the lines drawn with them seem smooth, black and even. There's a nice range of line widths included, and the ink seems to dry very quickly, meaning no smudging against rulers, hands or blotting on paper.

I paint with watercolours but I also like to add pen outline & sketch accents; the best bit about these pens for me was the lovely surprises I was getting when adding water to my pen lines on my primed canvas boards, it just bleeds in beautifully and adds extra dimensions. You definately get what you pay for and these are well worth it. Love them absolutely :).
