'ZIG' is the brand name for Kuretake’s pen and marker which has been loved by many people.
In the 1970’s, Japan experienced nationwide depression during the post-war recession. People everywhere sought out low priced yet high quality stationery productions, and in this era came the birth of the new 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine liner pen. ZIG comes from the word 'zigzag', a concept based on the fluid, back and forth motion which comes with writing.

With confidence that we could utilize our unique knowledge of multi-colored pigment inks, we decided to expand into Art & Crafts industry.

Easy to work with, beautiful, and travel-friendly.
I still consider myself pretty "fresh" as far as experience with watercolor goes. I stared with some tubes of watercolor paint and that was fine. It taught me how to mix colors but it was such a pain in the bum to bring out and set up. After a bit of research, I've refined my setup a bit to make it easier on myself. I got these pens, a few water brushes, and a smaller notebook to paint in.Just for reference my paper is the Canson XL 98lb mixed media notebook. I think it's important to know what paper others are working with when writing a review because watercolor works different with each brand and paper weight. In my experience the pens are crazy easy to work with and I find that I work better with these than watercolor paint and it fits my style better. So, if you like to color in your own drawings these are perfect. I also, think these would work very well for people who want to watercolor with coloring books.I'll upload a pallet of each color. The circles symbolize areas of color straight from the pen with no water added and the rectangles are modified with water from a water brush pen. Yes, there are two colors with the same name "oatmeal" and I accidently put aside the neon colors and forgot to add them in so I made a separate page for them. I love these. For my style it's the easiest way to get the colors and textures I need with minimal set up.Tldr: I'm really enjoying these and I'm very happy with my purchase. Already recommended them to a few friends. If I knew I was going to enjoy these so much I would have gone with a bigger set.

Why, oh, why didn't I buy the full set? I absolutely adore these watercolors. It gives you control of a project if you want fine details and still allows for making the sweeping color spreads that traditional watercolors are known for....if you use a water pen or brush along with them.
You will want to make yourself a color chart, however. Since the colors are shown in plastic they can be quite misleading. I've attached a picture of how I labled mine with a hole punch and a drop of glossy accents to hold in place. I just painted a swatch on watercolor paper, going back over it with a water pen to feather out the color, and punched it out with a standard hole punch after dry. The top has a perfect cavity for this this. Now I always now what color it is and how it will blend.
These pens are perfect for the watercolor paper printed images that are available now for adult coloring or card making with very fine detail. Do yourself a favor and get a set!
I also added several photos just to show the detail you are able to achieve with these watercolors. These are the ADORNit coloring pages.

Wow these brush pens are absolutely AMAZING! The ink behaves exactly like watercolor and the brush allows you to create precise lines or cover a big area with just one stroke. I'm SO glad I got these. It's really worth every penny and exactly what I need for urban sketching, etc. I've tried them on my Moleskine sketchbook and the ink doesn't bleed and it dries fast...but not too fast that you won't be able to blend it with other colors. Looking at the set though I know now that the 48 colors would've been enough for my needs. This is because some of the colors don't really have any significant difference from the others -- light pink looks so close to light carmine, most of the reds look so close to each other, also the grays and some of the blues. I could also do without the fluorescent colors actually. Still giving it 5 stars because it absolutely deserves it. Please check swatches I made (on Moleskine sketchbook paper) for reference.

I much prefer water-based than alcohol, and the colour range of these is amazing. They also blend so beautifully. The brush is smooth and fine, so getting into the details is possible in ways that other pens simply can't achieve.
The colours are quite rich, so it's worth getting the blender if you like using paler colours or blending out to a fade. Watercolour pens work well with these too, however, I've found the blender to be the best when aiming for a smooth, even diluted colour.
The quality of paper makes a HUGE difference, and I've found them to blend well on smooth cardstock or ivory paper if in colouring books (like the paper in Johanna Basford's books). They also work really well on watercolour paper, however much more ink is used and I've found I have less control with blending because the paper absorbs so much ink so quickly. Using them on wet watercolour paper is also good but they very much behave similar to watercolour paint, in that you're best to allow the ink to do it's own thing and go with its flow, than try to control it too much.
I've found it best to dab colours to blend and play with on an acrylic or silicone palette, then use my blending marker or a water brush to apply to the page when I want to apply or blend with lighter or diluted dark shades.
The skin tones you see in the image I've shared are not included with this set but can be purchased separately in the portrait set (6). I also used watercolour pencils to complement some of the colours I used from the 60 set.
