Pros & Cons
Pros
The pens are great, but my calligraphy is not! There are a lot of tombow products (as you can buy single pens in diff colors).
Free hand-lettering worksheets on the tombow website that you can download and print. I definitely recommend getting a book that goes more in-depth about calligraphy/hand lettering. Don't forget to download the lettering practice sheets.
The whole kit is great! Will always use and recommend. Fun and easy. Takes alot of getting used to as a beginner.
Cons
The grey shading marker is nearly dry and the cap on the blue thin marker was cracked and fell off, got lost. After only 2 1/2 months the calligraphy brush pen (blue) is already dry! No ink within minutes after using it.

There are a lot of tombow products as you can buy single pens in diff colors and there are a lot of boxed sets that carry different color pens sold at walmart as well which are more reasonably priced

However the selection is limited so you are better off buying on amazon and you are only saving a few dollars so the price diff isn’t that much

I mainly used youtube videos to learn different techniques as the instructions included tell you how the strokes work but nothing else beyond that which is fine by me

Comes with a pencil but no pencil sharpener which i think takes away from the “compact beginner product” feel of it

It should come with everything but paper

It took several months of regular use before the ink ran out in one pen and the ink was nice and black up until the last day

This set is contains the basics for beginners but it does create a bit of a mess with some of the contents
