The BEST Value in Alcohol Brush Markers // Sanjoki 120 Alcohol Brush Marker Review

Published 2022-10-17
Today we are going to take a look at a very affordable set of 120 alcohol dual brush markers. They come in a high-quality travel case that includes as 20 sheet marker pad, a swatch for you to color and a plastic sheet to place between pages of a sketchbook. You can find the Sanjoki dual brush markers on Amazon in 120 and 80 sets: amzn.to/3rTxxiG

Pros:
Nice color selection
Great inkflow
Blendable
High-quality travel/storage case
Juicy
Price

Cons:
The low price on these markers are only on Amazon USA (they are much more in other countries)

Bottom Line:
These would make a great gift for anyone looking to begin marker coloring. They would also make a nice travel set for an experienced marker user who doesn't want to travel with their costlier markers. This is a fantastic gift idea! You can find Sanjoki markers in 80 and 120 sets here: amzn.to/3rTxxiG

    The giddy excitement over the part of the marker packaging that could be repurposed made me so happy. Thanks so much for today's smiles and laughter, Lindsay! 💖 While I need more markers as much as I need a hole in the head, I enjoy reviews on brands I haven't heard about yet. These sound like a great budget pick.
  • @shelby8101
    Your artwork is beautiful! If you are taking requests, I’d love to see more marker artwork tutorials or maybe colored pencil tutorials. Great vid as always ❤
  • I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your reaction t the packaging making a little travel palette for you!! It warms my heart and soul to see someone getting SO thrilled by the little things just like I do!! I knew there was a reason you have been my favorite Artuber for years running!!

    I'm really glad you mentioned the difference between the "brush" nibs. This also goes for Ohuhu markers. They don't have a real brush nib, like Copics do or Shinhans or W&N. They use a bigger bullet nib with a soft tip to pretend it's a brush nib. But it's not a real brush nib. You can clearly see the difference in your test. Copic brush nibs draw much smoother and they act more like a paint brush, going from darker to lighter color in each stoke. The fake brush tips of Sanjoki's and Ohuhu's don't do that. They put the same amount of ink on the paper within each stroke, with no transition from dark to light. I find it very deceiving and dishonest when youtubers don't mention this (huge) difference when they review Ohuhu's or other cheap brush markers. So thanks for your honesty. You're my #1 go to youtuber when I need reviews of art supplies now. ❤

    My favorite frugal crafter geeking out over making mini palletes. Love it!
  • @Linda-qq5mg
    Your reviews cover so much information about the products, and that is such a help for us! Thanks for another great review Lindsay!
  • I purchased mine right away when you mentioned them on a previous video while the price was still low. They came really fast from Amazon. I had much the same reaction as you— kid in candy store! Can’t beat the quality for the price especially when you factor in the extras and quality case. Glad I deboxed and swatched mine before I saw this video which saved me a ton in Altoids! The packaging is long gone to the recycle. I too am impressed with the juiciness and blend ability.
  • @boyjrr
    LOVE the enthusiasm over the serendipitous tiny palettes!
  • @abrown5010
    Thank you for your honest reviews and thorough research. I enjoy your down-to-earth delivery. I appreciate the time you spend swatching and using the products and giving us your "real feel" observations. It helps me save money (frugal) by not having to spend my scant budget blindly on products hoping to discover the right one for me. You also inspire me to explore new crafting and art activities because I feel informed enough to get a good start on enjoying a new experience. Thanks again. Keep it coming!
  • Always love your honesty. And your excitement over the plastic trays is priceless!!!
  • My father in law made me a wood storage/display out of wood for my alcohol markers. It´s one of the best gifts ever!
  • @anniesews
    Thank you for this great review and great tips. Coincidently, I just got these Sanjoki markers the other day and swatched them yesterday. I am so glad that I made a good choice.
  • @staceyhill
    You bring me so much joy, Lindsay! As always a delightful video- and oh yes, I bought them!
  • Thanks for the review, I've been eyeing these since before the craziness happened. Loved your artwork hopefully will see them in future videos.
  • @paulage1art
    Your reviews are my go to reviews! Great details on many aspects of how they are used For a Frugal Crafter, I have spent so much money on products you have recommended over the years (been following you forever.) I love everything I have bought from artist and student quality watercolors, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, inks, crayons, etc! 🤣 Love your honesty! I am also a packaging repurposer and I love making mini palettes! I love to make mini palettes to share with my mixed media friends! I just bought these markers. Thank you so much!!! 💗
  • @katkards456
    I am new to alcohol coloring - just got this set. Having fun swatching and creating labels! Thanks so much for your video & tips.
  • I find it so adorable how happy you got when you found another use for the packaging!!!!!! That was so nice and genuine
  • @koolcat2259
    I'm so glad you shared this great value, Lindsey. I LOVE these markers. The only thing I would change is a brush tip instead of point tip, but they are perfect for my needs. Thank you!!
  • Great review. Love the packaging excitement. Your artwork is incredible. Love that lantern.
  • I am looking forward to your marker tutorials! I purchased this set, and I really like them. They are a great addition to my supplies. Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I saved the top plastic portions and am making everyone in the family eat Altoids until I have the tins to fill! Great tip. I think they may be good to work with my inks as well since they are a great size for that.
