I like these, I just don't love them.

Cons:
I wish the size of the tips were much smaller which would allow for greater control; they tend to be very messy and bleed out rather quickly if not careful. Not sure why they wouldn't make more colors; these are so limited. Take some time to dry.

Pros:
I do like the colors which are quite vibrant and very beautiful once dried; they are smooth in texture; not chalky at all & didn't have or leave a strong odor.

Artwork Samples:

Hawkman - metallic used in wings; again very hard to control; metallic tend to run rather quickly but gave a rather nice contrast with using traditional colored pencils.
Metallic Color used: Slick Silver & Gold Ingot (blended with colored metallic pencil)

Flowers: absolutely loved how the metallic just made this pop; love the glossy finish and, 'wow' affects it contributed to this piece.
Metallic Colors used: 1. copper mine w polka dots (upper right hand corner), 2. colbalt blue & silver (center-middle-flower), 3. purple steel (& white: upper left hand corner), 4. copper mine (& white stripes with polka dots rose: mid-lower right hand corner).

Fairy Goddess w Giant Seahorse animal: pink bling; could perceive as grape vines throughout hair

Would I recommend: No

Pros Recap

Glides Smoothly
Smudge Resistant Once Dried
Vibrant Colors
Non Strong Odor (but not odorless)

Fellow illustrators: I would love to team up; email me.

I bought these for my adult coloring books due to the fact that at that time, they were an "add-on item." Am I ever glad I did! I LOVE these Crayola Metallic Markers! I figured 'what the hay, try them out' I just couldn't be more happy with what I have been able to use them for. I just finished 'coloring' a huge candy machine which was all metal (save the glass dome) and there was just enough metallic 'grit' in these markers to give me just the desired effect and that candy machine looks awesome! I have had them for at least three months now and use them in Steampunk and other pages where there is something of a metal nature (along with my Prang Metallics) and these just do not disappoint! When I ordered them I was initially going to give them to my ten year old Granddaughter for her adult coloring (age appropriate) and now I do allow her to borrow them on an as needed basis! I never dreamed I would get so much effect (and enjoyment) from Crayola since I have a great stash of high end coloring product but color me surprised. I truly do love these. I saw a couple reviews that people had some problem with the nib, I have not had a single problem and I have used them often. I am very careful with my coloring supplies and always immediately re-cap them.I want to add that these are 'true' metallic in nature - not gel metallic pens, but markers that leave a metallic finish. I am a happy satisfied customer!

I bought these along with the glitter ones to use to accent my adult coloring book pages. The glitter ones work well, but these cover up the black lines on the coloring pages, so you lose that black definition and only see the metallic color. So instead of, say, seeing a leaf and it's veins, with color over it, you end up seeing a metallic leaf shape with no definition.
If you are buying these to write on envelopes or construction paper, go for it, but for coloring books, they really aren't ideal.

I thought these would be stronger and denser colors. They are really translucent glazes. They do not cover -- especially a colored paper -- all that well. The colors themselves are somehow a little drab and the "metallic" quality is weak. Also the tip does not provide a well-defined line. I am using them but will not buy any more.

Great. I used these, and another brand.
