BIC Conte Colouring Pens - 20 Pack - Assorted, Vibrant Colours for Drawing and Artists - 2 mm Ultra-Resistant Tip

a really good set of colours, but sadly some did not last as long as I would have liked

I have the Bic Visa for adult colouring, and found these very smooth by comparison to some other brands, which can drag the paper. Upgraded to the Conte. Equally as good, NOT as thick as the Visa, but thicker nib than fine liners. I like Mandalas, and colour some very fine mandalas, so these fill in the middle gap. I did try the Crayola mixed thick/thinner nibs, but hardly used either for what I colour, although they are very good more for children, and larger colouring areas. So the Bic Conte are similar to the Visa in colour options (more green shades), and a peach and 2 oranges, then the usual other shades.

This is a great set of pens; there's a wide range of colours and the colours themselves are so bright. I've used this set to colour in almost two books, so they have lasted well so far!My only criticism is that the pens leaked through the first few pages I coloured. This was due to the pens being fresh, but I was worried the pens were then unsuitable! However I powered on, and the more I used them, the less leaking. Keep this in mind if this is an issue - maybe do some practice pages first.They also come in a nice tin, they now sit neatly inside my desk!

This is the second time I’ve ordered these colouring pens as I’m so pleased with them. Beautiful selection of vivid colours which colour smoothly. I’ve been able to colour a whole book with only two colours running out. They do not bleed or smudge and you’re not left with ink on the side of your hand either. Would not hesitate on ordering again.

As an adult I still enjoy colouring books and find it relaxing and quite therapeutic, don't judge me!The pens are of a high quality, I paid £12 for these Oct' 15 and I've seen them being sold at retail for £20. The pens lasted a normal amount of time so I have no complaints about the quantity of ink with each pen. The colours are vibrant and solid and the nibs are perfect for either thin or thicker lines without discharging too much ink and ruining underneath pages.If you enjoy colouring books then choose these pens, you wont be disappointed, at their current price of £9.94 (Dec' 15) they're an absolute bargain.

Beautiful colours. I like vibrant colour and it can be hard to find ones that are bright. These definitely fit the bill.They are not the type of pen you use to colour large areas, best for detail and smaller pieces,Other reviews mention bleeding through the paler - I find that putting a blank page (or 2) under the page you're colouring on will prevent leakage to other colouring pages.

The tin that these pens come in looks lovely and would be nice if presenting as a gift. The pens themselves look very cheap and I feel I could have got better for the money I spent on these. Cannot comment on the life of these as I haven't started using yet but thought I would give my views on general presentation.

Loving these pens! Wasn't sure how they would look because you could only see the picture but they are lovely fine pens. Drawing with them is smooth and easy and the colours are brilliant and vibrant. I've used them several times now and I can honestly say I have no regrets. I use them for my anti stress art therapy books and it really does help me, all the bright and beautiful colours help me feel calm and relaxed. Would highly recommend for all arty people, this is a product you really want to get your hands on!!
