Nice colors.
Colors are different depending on paper type, which is typical for most markers. It comes with a swatch sheet, but I also did my own. The pen side isn't very thin and the ink tends to bloom. Not very easy to blend and it does bleed to the back of the page. Despite this they color seamlessly and look nice. They're perfect for sketching which is their intended purpose.

Response from Staples :
Goldfaber Sketch Markers contain alcohol-based, dye stuff inks that are fast-drying, water-resistant, smudge proof, acid-free, pH-neutral and permanent once dry. Alcohol markers commonly bleed through standard paper types. To achieve optimal results, it's advisable to use Marker Paper.
Please note: If you choose to use Goldfaber Sketch Markers in journals or sketchbooks, please test the markers to make sure the ink will not bleed through your pages.

Fun
These markers are easy to draw with and blend, and the dual ended feature is also great. Small range for portrait drawings, would be helpful to have other shades but it’s just a sampler I guess! Feels durable and looks nice on paper

nice quality markers
these are nice quality! great color pay off, and i really like that they're dual-ended, with one end having a finer tip. it is a small pack, so shade range is limited. but i do wish they're was more of a range of skin tones included.

Very great quality!
these markers are very realistic and very bendable. The colors were amazing because they were nude almost matching a person skin stone. I hope that was cool. These were amazing markers to test out. The packaging was great. The colors were awesome.

Great alcohol based markers
Overall, these dual tip markers are great! I got the portrait set so many are skin colors. One of the markers really doesn’t show up as seen but may be useful for something. They do have a strong smell as they are alcohol based, but both tips wrote well and look very professional!

Nice markers
These markers were nice and definitely more colored for portraits. As a product these were pretty good. They wrote smooth but when adding more strokes with the thicker end, it almost looked like a crayola marker was used. The thinner side was also a bit rounded at the tip but would be much better if it had a sharper point. That being said, these are still great markers ...

Great color
The color pay off was nice and I enjoyed the markers however I personally had a problem with the markers drying out quickly. I’m not sure if it was a personal error or the product. Other than that it was over all good.

Great Sketch Markers!
These have great pigment, they blend well, they come in lots of different colors, and they’re double sided so you can do brows work and fine detail work. Only downside is they do bleed a bit before they dry but they don’t take too long to dry so that’s ok.

Good for simple line art
Great markers for simple sketch line art - I wouldn’t necessarily do a true portrait with these markers though. The color selection is great as it isn’t easy to find flesh tones. These are not similar to Copic markets; more similar to Crayola markets in terms of feel.

Amazing Sketch Markers!!!!
Omg am I in love with these markers! I am a beginner in using sketch markers but I think I did well. They are so easy to use and of great quality! The gGldfaber sketch markers are definitely great for portrait sketches because of their neutral nude colors. I will definitely recommend it to my friends!
