Review: I am a professional illustrator and definitely recommend these pens - I am a professional illustrator and definitely recommend these pens. Although I render primarily in Photoshop and Illustrator, I am constantly sketching in toned sketchbooks and have found these pens work incredibly well for bright highlights. I also have done a few children's books in watercolor, and these gelly roll pens do a great job of laying a final highlight over other marks. They are definitely opaque enough. The only medium I have found they don't really work well with is prismacolor markers. Even when I would let the marker dry for a while, the white still seemed a little dull over the top of it. I guess the only negative thing I have to say about these pens is that occasionally they get a little gummy and i have to wipe the tip off with a paper towel, but honestly for the wonderful line quality and opacity that I typically get, that is only a minor complaint. I have used so many white pens and pencils and in the end find that my number one choice is the coveted gelly roll pen... So if you like strong, bright white lines to highlight and accentuate your drawings, this is the pen that I recommend.
Review: I LOVE THESE! Sakura is the best. - Seriously don’t even bother with other white ink pens, you’ll be disappointed. The ink is very visible on black paper. It won’t melt and bleed in like other gel/pastel or glitter pens do. This white ink is SO vibrant and so smooth, it just glides right on the paper. I’m still only on my first pen, too! The ink is of excellent quality and lasts long. These are *chef’s kiss*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am a professional illustrator and definitely recommend these pens

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pens for writing on black.
*by S***A on June 24, 2025*

I used the pens to write in my black journal! Worked well, the writing was smooth and didn’t really smudge (unless you wiped it literally right after you wrote). I wrote a lot so I would often have to buy a new pack of pens every 3-4 months. I like this brand because of how easy it is to write. It flowed nicely too. Would buy again!
