Please give me these markers
Best tip ever regarding using the Bristol smooth paper with the Karin markers. I was ready to get rid of the whole set when I saw your video on the Karin markers and paper...now, it is my FAV set ever!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the fabulous comparison! Thorough and helpful.
Great comparison video. Thanks for your input!
Love the watercolor stamping technique- excellent video
hey Simon, great comparison video thanks! BTW the Zigs do have the colour "swatch" on the bottom end of the pen, no need to glue any on yourself... ( I also store mine brush side down so the brush doesn't dry out. Also, because they are watercolour pens, they all work beautifully on watercolour paper as well. Take care!
Thank you. This was a great comparison!
Love that you can brush letter with the Karin as well!
I do love my zig clean colour brush markers, they do everything I ask of them. Take care and stay safe.
I have both, and I love them both for different things. I think I am on a Karin kick for now primarily because they are newer.
Love it! After I left my comment about comparisons in the watercolor marker genre, I went looking. Of course there are these Zigs and I love how both came out! I also noticed the Faber Castell and the Windsor & Newton have a new marker in this media.. Those would be a good comparison although I don’t think the FC or the WN have the color range. That the Zig or the Brishmarker have. Honestly my love for Copics comes from their Renewability of the product. I am loving the Karin brush makers. Now if we can get refills etc for them they would be my favorite handsdown without question!
Great video comparing the water color markers. I have 3 from a SSS monthly kit that I need to try.
I haven't tried the Karin makers yet I have had zigs for years and love them. Thank you for this video, I might try the Karin makers now.. 😀
Hello Simon thanks for doing this video ! 👏
No problem Sandy! Glad you found it helpful. :)
I have both but can’t pick a favorite because I like them both. Depending on the project, sometimes I prefer the real brush and sometimes prefer the marker brush. I enjoy them both!
Yes! This is so true... there are different uses for both tips. :)
Great comparisons Simon. Yes, paper makes a difference too. Good job showing all the techniques.
Thanks Nancy! Totally... paper makes all the difference. :)
I also enjoy applying them to an acrylic block or palette and ain’t details in with small brush o Blender pen! Or putting down a bit on the paper and blending it out. Love that the Karin Markers become permanent when fully dry
I love both!
Oh my; never used either, but I'm glad I don't have to make a decision because they both have their pluses and minuses. I, like you, enjoy the tip on the Karin, but the actual brush tip on the Zig has its benefits. But mainly, I think you're right... it all depends on what type of coloring you do as to which would serve you best. Thank you for sharing and please stay safe.
Have both, love my Zigs
I love when you do comparisons. Thanks
Thanks Melissa! :)
Coloring is my favorite part of card making. I use all 3, Zig, Copic, & Karin, depending on the project. For watercolor brush pens the Zig are BY FAR superior to any other brand out there.
Great review Simon. Tfs
Thanks Bonnie! Hugs :)
Thanks, Simon, I have both but haven't really used my Karins yet probably because I had the zigs much longer.
Yay! Glad this video was helpful... hope you crack open the Karin markers and start crafting. Hugs! :)
Good to know! I do Love my Zigs though ❤😘
Nice tips!
Thank you for such a well-presented comparison! Sadly, Karin markers aren't available in our country. 😔 i wish they were open to resellers.
Thanks Simon for the comparison. I have the Zig and Copic but have been seeing a lot about the Karin. We have a similar way of working with markers so I really enjoyed this video. I think I may have to look into the Karin markers as sometimes I want more control and depth with my water colors. Love that you use Bristol as well. Me too!! Have you played around with Chameleon markers? Curious if you have. Thanks again!!!!
Simon,
I've been watching your videos since you were a little bean sprout! Your tutorials are done exceptionally well and, you are able to convey to your audience "not to be afraid to try new techniques". I especially watch your videos when I temporarily loose my mojo, and you never fail to reign me in with an inspirational technique I've never tried. You Sir., Have a customer for life!
Thanks for this great comparison!
One question, how permanent are their colors? Just wondering if they would fade over time.
Thank you! I think the zigs blend together better, but that’s just my opinion.
I actually prefer Karins because I do calligraphy and I’ve never done watercolour one though.
I love Karin markers they are so cool I want to get them for my school
Thank you Simon for the comparison between these markers. I am wondering if you could give your opinion on the light fastness of the Karin markers. It is the only thing holding me back from purchasing them. I have the Zig real color brush markers and have notice the color fades significantly with time, even if places in a box for storage after creating a card. Thank you for your videos :)
Id love to see The Karin vs Tombows marker comparison 😉
🤩
I have the full set of Zigs and I love them. I have not tried the Karin. I actually can't afford them😢
Interesting. One of the reasons I bought the Karins is because it was a bit cheaper than the Zigs. For me. They both look great.
I have both The zigs and The Karin’s.
Personaly I go for The Zigs because The Karin’s are really wet. And they stay A long time wet.. for me as lefthanded it’s not ideal. But with both you Can really make grade creations. I love The brush from The Zigs! The Zigs I use for colouring My stamps and The karin’s I use for drawing and colouring. You have to try it by yourself to find out witch one you like better. Thanks for your explanation Simon.
Simon! I adore you! So have you worked with Arteza?? My wife just bought me some and so far I like!
I have both and like both of them. Think the Karin marker are a little easier to control the tips.
Love the chameleons!
I like my zigs but love the Karin so much better. I’ve bought the individual markers but would love to have the whole set of the. I keep putting them in my cart and then not ordering because I already have the zigs, the tombows and a few karins and just can’t justify. I will eventually give in and order the biggest set
Thanks for the insights. I think you can buy at least the Zigs individually at Dick Blick... and probably many other places, too.
Yay! Thanks for sharing this Lori. This will be super helpful if anyone is looking for one individual color or to replace a dry marker. :)
I so want the zigs
I have zig, but I kind of like the tip of the Karin, currently considering if I’ll buy some Karin markers....
That's why I invested in the set of Karin markers too! The tip looked like I would like it better. :)
These markers complement each other very well
I enjoy seeing comparisons of products, and this was great. The Karin markers look very interesting, however a bit pricy for me. I currently use the Arteza brush markers and am satisfied with them so far. Maybe at some point I can try others :)
PS...yes, I read all the way through! Lol
lol thanks for reading it all the way through... Hugs! :)
The Arteza markers are so similar to the ZIG markers and I am glad you are having tons of fun coloring with them. :)
I'm not excited with the arteza brush pen mine don't work like how others ppl do on the videos but zig blend better then arteza
@@RainorShine1 I haven’t had any problems with my Arteza’s. If you think you got a bad set, call customer service. They are EXCELLENT to work with.
Would’ve been good if the comparison actually compared… The price, lightfastness, color range and whether they have refills.
Also, being able to purchase them individually is called “open stock”
Thanks Simon! Are either of the pens refillable?
Hi Lamont! I don’t think either of the pens are refillable, but I know that you can re purchase individual colors that you run out of. :)
I have both sets of these markers and I am on team Zig all the way. I tried to love my Karins but I struggle with them.
Thanks for sharing this Wendy! I totally think these markers are similar, but the tips give them different experiences. Glad you love your ZIG markers. :)
I've heard because the karin markers are so juicy they run out quickly. Do you find this please? Great video by the way😁
I love the saturation and nibs on the karins. i have been thinking about buying them for months because i love watercolouring with markers. Have you compared them with tombows?
I would like to know how they compare to tombows as well! I have both zigs and tombows.
I was just coming to the comments to suggest a Tombow/Karin comparison, too. I hope you will do one, Simon!
I would like to see a comparison as well. I checked into the Tombows but they were way more expensive than the Karins. I figured the Karins would do everything I needed and I do love them very much.
@@mellightbody8212 i have invested in quite a few tombows . I love them but also i bought the full set of staedtler brush pens just recently which i also love. The karin pens have doubled in price since i have been looking at them . I first saw the on an instagram ad in about april.
I have had the full set of Karin markers (and metallics) for two weeks now. I haven’t used them. They intimidate me.😬
Waitwaitwait I need a little clarification on that last part. With the Zigs, when you're drawing on wet surface, the color gets lighter because it's soaking up the water, right? It doesn't look like that happens with the Karen markers. They don't lighten from the water. Or do they? I couldn't tell. Cuz that would be a big selling point for me. Thanks for the great demo!
My only issue with the Zigs is that they fade quickly. The Karin Markers don't so far.
Excellent demonstration sir...now get moved and do some lives
I use my Zigs to accent my watercolor pencil designs...it makes them pop
I didn't see you try lettering with the Karens... so I'm assuming that they don't work for lettering like the Zigs do?
They are actually better for lettering in my opinions... I shared some lettering with them in this video: czcams.com/video/qBLd-xg5SQ8/video.html
My Karin won't do any of these
