Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting to explore coloring, this set is a wonderful choice. It’s not just a box of markers... it’s an invitation to have fun and explore your creativity.
When I first used these markers on one of our Poki and Kiwi coloring pages, I was so excited to dive into the sea of colors. But, let’s just say my first attempt was far from perfect! I was feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of colors and the colors I did end up choosing weren't a good match. But I kept at it, learning about each shade, and slowly, I found my footing. Now, I love pairing mid tone low saturated colors - they are just my favorite! It’s all part of the creative journey and finding what works for you.
Let’s dive into why these markers are so great and how they can make coloring even more enjoyable. If you want to explore our coloring sheets instead, take a look here: Explore coloring pages ➜
A Rainbow of 320 Colors
Imagine opening a box filled with 320 colors, all ready for you to use. That’s what you get with this set. It’s like having every shade you could ever need right at your fingertips. Whether you’re working on a fun doodle or a detailed illustration, this range has you covered.
One of my favorite things about this set is finding unexpected color combinations. For example, pairing a warm coral with a cool lavender creates a dreamy effect I hadn’t thought of before. The set also includes a colorless blender. If you’ve ever had trouble blending colors smoothly, this tool is perfect for you. It helps you create soft transitions and adds a polished look to your work.
Brush, Fine and Chisel: Three Tips for Different Needs
Each marker in this set has two tips. You can either get a set with brush and chisel – or brush and fine tip:
Brush tip: This soft, flexible tip is perfect for adding details, creating textures, or working in small areas. It’s great for delicate touches or fancy designs.
Chisel tip: This tip is wide and bold, ideal for filling in larger areas quickly and smoothly. It’s a lifesaver when shading big spaces or creating backgrounds.
Fine tip: Ideal for adding intricate lines, outlining, or detailed work. The fine tip allows you to achieve those fine strokes needed for precision, making it easy to tackle even the smallest areas of your art.
Having two tips on each marker makes them super versatile. Whether you’re adding fine details or covering large areas, you’ll find it easy to switch between tips and keep the creative flow going. I personally love the combination of Brush tip and Fine tip. I find that with those to tips, I can color anything I want.
Smooth and Blendable Ink
One of the standout features of these markers is their alcohol-based ink. Here’s why it’s so special:
- Bold Colors: The pigments are bright and vibrant, even in lighter shades. They make your work pop.
- Easy to Use: The ink glides onto the paper smoothly, leaving no streaks. Every stroke feels satisfying.
- Blends Beautifully: With a little practice, blending colors becomes simple and fun. The colorless blender makes gradients and transitions even easier.
- Dries Quickly: Say goodbye to smudges! The ink dries fast, so your work stays clean and neat.
The first time I tried blending, I was a bit intimidated. But after experimenting with a few shades, like layering soft yellows into oranges, I was amazed at how seamless it looked. It’s all about taking your time and enjoying the process.
Comfortable and Easy to Use
These markers are designed to make your coloring sessions as comfortable as possible. They’re easy to hold and won’t slip out of your hand, even if you’re coloring for hours.
The caps are color-coded, so you can quickly find the shade you need. Plus, they have a small bump that keeps them from rolling off your desk. It’s these little details that show how much thought went into the design.

If you're looking for new ways to make the most of your Ohuhu markers, the possibilities are endless. Here are a few creative ideas you can try:
- Create Gradient Effects: If you’re still practicing blending, experiment with creating beautiful gradient effects. Start with light colors and gradually blend into darker hues.

This can help you experiment without worrying about making mistakes, and it’s a great way to express yourself freely.

By experimenting with different techniques and combining your creativity with markers, you can discover new ways to elevate your art projects. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, these markers can help turn your ideas into reality. So, let your imagination run wild and see where your creativity takes you!
