I decided on these to use for a few different tasks that involve some hobbies of mine - specifically coloring/shading and a little calligraphy. They come in a really cute tin that is easy to keep up with and keep the markers organized. There's 16 dual-tip markers included in the set for a total of 32 colors, though I will say a few of the colors are very similar to one another. The brush tips are darker shades while the detail tips are lighter. I absolutely love these markers and think that they are an amazing set for beginners. Coloring with them is a breeze and, although the tips are a little firm for such a task, I do like them for the calligraphy too. I would highly recommend these markers and I'm only giving them four stars instead of five because of how close in color/shade some of the colors are for the brush and detail. Also, the markers have begun to fray just a bit, though I admit that I have used them considerably since I received them - all things considering, they worked great and continue to work well, despite all of the heavy use.
