SAKURA Gelly Roll Classic White Opaque Gel Pens, 08 Medium Pt, 3 Pack

I purchased the "BRIGHT WHITE INK 0.4MM", and I absolutely love them! Here are some things they are super effective doing: • Over markers ---- They are really visible, and so smooth • Highlights --- They give your drawing a super nice touch and pop • Whiting out mistakes --- You can also use them to white out mistakes such as markers or pencil. • Hand art --- Pretty looking on hands. THINGS THEY DON'T DO WELL WITH: • Pastels --- They don't show and cause the drawing to have streaks. They also remove the pastel onto the highlighter pen and ruin the tips • Over white paper--- Doesn't show (obviously) but it still dent show after you put color over it. SO I would recommend not using it before but using it after when drawing over things. (*You sometimes do have to go over a few times when using over marker) These are super smooth and are so nice 😍 and have really high quality definitely recommend them!

Deliver on time and exactly what I wanted.

I've only just started to use this product, so I don't have any comments as to how long it lasts, and I don't have any products to compare it to. I like to use these for sparkling highlights or detailing in character artwork. Works beautifully over top of the Micron lining markers I use, and also work pretty well over just inks in general. However, it's really not meant for use with colored pencil. You can sorta dabble it on the paper to make it trail white over top of colored pencil, but it's also not as vibrant. Totally not the fault of the pens, it's just a matter of less compatible art media. Definitely worth a try, and definitely a detailing essential for any artist working in markers!

Pens write great! Packaging was good and pens were not damaged when received. Will buy again

Opaque white ink leaves a good line on tinted or dark paper. I've used these for designs on black paper and been very pleased with the results. It is possible to wait a short while and go over the first line and build up more ink on the drawing. These also work out well for adding highlights when used on grey or tan paper. Well, really they are great for any non-white background. They can even be used to cover mistakes made on white paper. Update 10/2/2016: I just discovered another use for these pens. I have lots of generic, black nylon cases with who-knows-what in them. The Sakura Gelly Rolls will write on the nylon. When it's dry, it doesn't rub off. I had to go over the writing a few time to get it to show well. I just let it dry some, then wrote over it again. Each time the writing showed up better than the time before.

I loved these pens! No smearing, the color pops with amazing ink flow. The color really pops, they are easy to use! The caps are snug, and are not just adorable but they keep the pens fresh! The quality and functionality of these pens makes the purchase worth it!

Update: These may be the darlings of the trendy adult coloring set, but I have so much trouble with this brand. I only use a tiniest bit of the ink and they stop working. I don't drop or shake them. I always snap the caps back on. I store These in a pencil case with loops, so they're in a safe environment and not being bumped around. These are rather pricey and I'm tried of wasting money on them. I recently bought a few open stock metallic and white pens from Dick Blick (I was already ordering some other supplies). Hopefully obtaining them from an art supply dealer will improve the longevity of these pens (maybe the ones from here weren't properly stored or were old?). Time will tell, I suppose. If my relationship will Gelly Rolls doesn't improve with the new ones, I won't buy more (too little payoff for the expense). I can never get these to work over artist-grade colored pencils for highlights as the online elitist "colorists" claim any way. The wax and oils just clog the nibs. Heck, sometimes I can't even get this brand to color on places in the pages where a colored pencil hasn't even touched, colored pencil just had to be on the page some place and these pens flake out. Original review: Not as opaque as the Uni-ball Signo, but these definitely dry with a smoother texture than the Signo. However, I cannot get these to apply as highlights over my artist grade, soft core colored pencil, either. I know some of the elitist "colorists" use these for highlights, but I cannot get it to work. I guess I'm not cut out to be a member of the coloring elite. LOL

This is a great tool for correcting coloring mistakes on white cardstock. MATTE WHITE finish. Multiple point sizes work very well for a variety of situations. Mote titanium than zinc white. The pens I received did NOT have the wax tip on the point.

Mi pedido original incluía el Gelly Roll y dos Sketch Book de Strathmore. En un principio la empresa me envió solo los libros pero en la factura se incluía tambien el Gelly Roll, me puse de inmediato en contacto con la empresa explicando todo y en dos días tuve el Gelly Roll en casa. La atención al cliente por parte de la empresa ha sido inmejorable y los productos son de lo mejor. Muy contenta con mi compra.

The white gelly rolls are great. They are opaque, so are great for using on top of pencils and paints for adding highlights or extra details. I've had no issues with the ink flooding or stopping, but I do use a scrap price of paper to scribble on to get the ink flowing before I use it on my project, and again if the paint/pencil gets clogged on the ball. They are lovely and smooth to use. My favourite white pens for sure.

Great pens! Work well even for writing notes. Grip is hard plastic which can be annoying over long periods of writing but other than that no complaints.

My daughter loves these gel pens. She does a lot of drawing and painting and wanted to see how these would work with what she does. They were exactly what she was looking for. All of the pens worked great, they are good quality and last for quite awhile. They write so smoothly and the colors were nice as well. I did find them a little pricey when I purchased them but the fact that they lasted awhile made up for the price. The arrived quickly and well packaged. Overall we were both pleased with these pens and will probably order again.
