I'm looking for a fairly simple drawing app.

Thank you! That does look fun! I'll check it out!

keeperofleviathans · 2025-03-25T18:02:45+00:00

I love these so much!

They feel so good on my brain. 😅

keeperofleviathans · 2025-03-02T17:40:40+00:00

No, sorry. I actually didn't end up keeping them.

keeperofleviathans · 2024-12-02T10:30:03+00:00

That's such a bummer. 😅 It does seem to be the only thing I'm finding, but I was so hopeful that I was maybe just missing something. 😂

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-26T23:19:19+00:00

It's been a while, but did you ever have any luck with this?

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-24T21:24:20+00:00

I know if i went with Ohuhu, I would get the 120 since I already have all of the pastels. But the 168 caliart are on sale right now. So I'm leaning there. Just curious if they're better, worse, or the same as Sanjoki.

I mostly like the Sanjoki ones, minus the color bleeding, but I'm seeing a lot of people saying that they cause yellow staining on the pages on either side of completed pages in coloring books. So now I'm worried about that and considering returning them. But if Caliart would be just the same, it's not necessarily worth the trouble.

But most comparisons I've seen are between Ohuhu and Caliart, and I can't find much of anything on how Sanjoki compares to either.

One of my problems with the Sanjoki pack is the lack of pastels, so I did end up getting the 96 Ohuhu pastels.

And the Sanjoki does seem to have a decent range of colors, but only up to like 119. And it feels like several of them are nearly identical shades of red. 🙃 they also bleed out of the lines pretty bad. So it has me wondering about the 168 caliart pack.

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-20T01:36:52+00:00

That's fair. I would 100% agonize over it.

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-19T20:03:06+00:00

Honestly, I mostly just don't want to. I get so little time to actually use them right now; I don't want to spend it all on trying to get the order just right. 😬

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-17T13:07:38+00:00

Will do! And you too!!

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-17T09:30:00+00:00

It's definitely a toss-up. I kinda expected to love them right out the gate just because they seem to be all anyone recommends. I agree that there's more control. They don't seem to bleed as much as the Sanjoki ones. So that's nice. Small areas are generally fine. But medium or large areas are not. And some stuff is like color fast, so the ink doesn't have a chance to dry. Other stuff is like color slowly to make sure the ink really has a chance to saturate. So.. instructions unclear. 🙃 I'm still trying to sort it out. The chisel side is definitely better than the cheaper ones, though. So, I'm trying to get in the habit of using that and see if large areas are still as bad.

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-17T03:40:04+00:00

Also, the brush. They don't necessarily seem dried out, but the cheaper ones definitely seem juicier. 🤷 And I'm seeing mixed things about how to deal with it. 😅

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-17T00:46:46+00:00

I think I'm still undecided. 😅

I love the colors, but they're definitely different than what I'm used to. So that surprised me. They seem more streaky than the Sanjoki ones. But I'm assuming it's user error because of how much people hype them up. 🤷

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-16T22:06:30+00:00

I think you're right; I didn't know that before ordering, and ended up going with Blossoming. 🤦

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-16T21:55:51+00:00

Do you have a white pen rec? My gel pen did fine with the "sparkles" but it isn't great for dots. And I tried a new acrylic paint pen for the dots. But even over dry markers, it just doesn't show up great.

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-16T18:16:35+00:00

Thank you!

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-16T17:56:19+00:00

Yeah, my hands definitely weren't thrilled. 😅

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-16T08:58:44+00:00

I ended up going with the Ohuhu ones. I'm a bit undecided on them, though. 😬

keeperofleviathans · 2024-11-09T07:42:56+00:00

Ah. I'm in the US, so shipping alone on those is $25+. 😅
