Our review
The Tombow Dual Brush Pens 96 Color Set is the ultimate collection for artists, letterers, and hobbyists who want a full spectrum of color at their fingertips. Each pen features a flexible brush tip on one end for creating expressive lettering, watercolor-style washes, and varied line widths, while the other end offers a fine tip for detail work, journaling, and precise outlines. With water-based, blendable ink, this set allows for seamless color transitions and layering effects that mimic traditional watercolor painting.
Housed in a sturdy storage case, this 96-color set covers the full Tombow color range, including vibrant primaries, soft pastels, rich earth tones, and deep shades perfect for shading and shadow work. The dual-tip design means you get two tools in one pen, reducing the need to carry separate brush and fine-liner sets. The ink is acid-free and blends beautifully with the Tombow colorless blender pen, making it easy to create smooth gradients and watercolor effects on paper.
Popular among bullet journal enthusiasts, calligraphers, illustrators, and adult coloring book fans, this set is versatile enough for professional-level artwork or casual creative projects. The pens are refillable via ink cartridges, extending their usable life, and the flexible nylon brush tips are durable enough to withstand repeated use without fraying, making this set a long-term investment for any art supply collection.

Great but pricey
The quality is fantastic and the brush tips are super responsive. My only complaint is the price, but you do get what you pay for with this set.

Solid set for illustrators
These pens blend so smoothly and the color selection is huge. A few colors look similar, but overall this is an excellent set for professional illustration work.
