Holy cow the chiseled tip brought me back to third grade; mad Mr. Sketch vibes. Crisp lines, this side is most useful for multiple consistent line widths.
The brush tip is larger than I expected but very versatile: barely scraping the page is just under 1mm, writing more naturally 2-3mm, and holding the marker at a low angle saturated 7mm lines lay breezily. It's also not really a brush in sense of being composed of loose bristles like a paint brush, rather I'd compare the brush side to a oversized felt-tip marker (think Sharpie tip but instead of a IBM ThinkPad clown nose nub for a nib it's a mini model rocket's balsa wood nose cone).
Snagged one of these in black to outline on watercolor paper, reminded me of Copic twins. I haven't much experience these sort of markers, but my first impressions have been great!
I intend to use this marker mostly on paper, but coverage writing quickly on cardboard holds up well and even glossy porous(?) surfaces like photo paper or tape which mark very well. Marks on glass, but is rubbed off easily like suborn dry erase.
Go CraftWave!! I hope this performance keeps up as I use the marker more as I'm not sure Sketchies can be refilled easily. It looks like the brush side section can be pulled out (chisel section is part of the body's mold), but I'm fiddling with mine now and suspect I'll fuss up the plastic trying to remove it. I saw someone ask and want to also express interest in the ink inside them! 5 of 5 Stars!
