Ohuhu Honolulu Brush Markers and What the Series Name Means
Honolulu is one of Ohuhu's series names for its brush markers, and no listing among the 4,486 here carries it in the title, so this page will not pretend to rate a specific box. What the catalogue does hold is 146 Ohuhu products, including the brush and chisel alcohol sets the series belongs to, and 259,147 ratings behind them.
Honolulu is a series name Ohuhu uses to distinguish one line from another across a very large range, and no listing among the 4,486 behind this site carries it in the title. That means there is no price, rating or complaint count here attached to a Honolulu box specifically, and this page will not attach one by implication. What the catalogue does hold is 146 Ohuhu products carrying 259,147 ratings between them, including the brush-and-chisel alcohol sets. Where the brush format sits generally is at compare every brush pen.
The demand is new and it is moving fast. Ohuhu honolulu brush markers draws 150 searches a month on growth of 13,357% year on year, under ohuhu honolulu basic alcohol markers at 700 and up 910%, ohuhu honolulu alcohol art markers at 600 and up 31,354%, ohuhu honolulu portrait alcohol markers at 450 and ohuhu honolulu markers at 300. Growth at that scale usually means a naming scheme has been rolled out recently and shoppers are searching the label they saw.
What the Series Naming Is For
A brand with 146 listings in one catalogue needs a way to say which set is which, and Ohuhu's is a series name plus a nib description plus a colour count. The useful part for a buyer is the middle one. Brush and chisel is a different tool from chisel and fine, which is a different tool again from fine and slim broad, and those differences matter far more than the series name.
Brush and chisel is the combination this search is asking about. The brush end gives pressure-variable line width for lettering, foliage and soft edges. The chisel end lays flat tone quickly. Together they cover most of what an illustrator does on paper without changing pens.
The Ink, and Why Paper Comes First
| Marker type | Paper | Whiteboard | Chalkboard | Glass | Wood | Metal | Plastic | Ceramic / mug | Rock / stone | Fabric | Skin | Car window | Cardboard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol Alcohol-carried dye. Blends, but soaks and feathers on absorbent stock. | ◐If… 1,820/mo Feathers and bleeds on anything but marker paper. 1,820 searches a month are people looking for the right stock. | ○No 10/mo Stains melamine permanently. Use a dry erase marker. | ○No no measured demand Porous board absorbs the dye and stains. Use a liquid chalk marker. | ◐If… 90/mo Beads on glass and wipes off with alcohol. Not a glass marker. | ◐If… 170/mo Absorbs into bare wood like a stain. Some people want that. | ○No 60/mo Beads and rubs off. Use an oil-based paint marker. | ◐If… 270/mo Streaks on gloss. Works on primed styrene for models. | ○No no measured demand Beads on the glaze. Use a paint or acrylic marker. | ○No 10/mo Soaks in and dulls. Use an acrylic marker. | ◐If… 900/mo Bleeds into the weave and is not wash-fast. | ○No 900/mo Alcohol dye, not cosmetic grade. Use a body marker. | ○No no measured demand Wipes straight off tempered glass. Use a chalk or washable marker. | ◐If… 10/mo Bleeds heavily unless the board is coated. |
Ohuhu's art markers are alcohol, so the alcohol row is the one that describes them. Paper is the type's largest cell at 1,820 searches a month and it is conditional: it feathers and bleeds on anything lighter than marker stock, and the grid notes those searches are people looking for the right paper. Wood is conditional at 170, plastic at 270, fabric at 900, glass at 90 and beading. Metal fails at 60, ceramic fails, rock fails at 10, skin fails at 900.
The bleed numbers on Ohuhu match the type. Bleed resistance draws 1,872 reports across 42 products with 1,223 negative, a 65% negative rate, against 65% for alcohol as a whole. Buyers treat it as a known condition rather than a defect: Juicy and a good selection of colors. They do bleed through paper, so be sure to use the sheet they include to protect the page behind whatever you... And: The light colors stay light, which impresses me in a marker. They do bleed through, but that happens with any alcohol based markers.
Ohuhu also sells marker paper pads in this catalogue, which is a fair signal about what the company expects its ink to need.
What 259,147 Ratings Say
| Topic | Reports | Negative | Negative rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quality | 11,127 | 1,003 | 9% |
| Value for money | 4,326 | 638 | 15% |
| Colour selection | 5,473 | 1,447 | 26% |
| Bleed resistance | 1,872 | 1,223 | 65% |
| Colour | 1,763 | 444 | 25% |
Quality at 9% negative and value at 15% on bases of that size are among the strongest results in this catalogue. Buyers say the same thing repeatedly and usually in the same breath: Nice vibrant colors. Great variety. Great value. No strong smells. I love my markers! I plan to buy more when they have to be replaced.
Colour selection at 26% is the honest weak point, and it is a large-set problem rather than a quality problem. As another person mentioned, many greys and greyish colors; no purple. NO PURPLE? I am considering RMAing them over this alone. On a hundred-colour set the headline number is not the useful figure; the number of shades in the family you actually work in is.
Ohuhu holds 146 products here at a median price of $33.99, the highest median of any brand with 20 or more products, and a median rating of 4.7, above the site median of 4.6. That price median reflects large sets rather than expensive individual pens.

Unfortunately, the markers bleed through the paper, which it specifically states on the paper it is not supposed to do. Very disappointed

Buying Without the Series Name
Ignore the series and read three things off the listing: the nib pair, the colour count, and whether the palette is described by family or only by number. A brush-and-chisel set in a stated colour family will serve better than a larger assortment with a nicer name, and the review weight in this catalogue sits on the sets rather than on the series.
The brand case in full is at ohuhu markers, the chemistry at alcohol markers, and the paper that has to go underneath at paper for markers.
Frequently Asked
What is the Ohuhu Honolulu series?
One of the brand's named product lines, used to distinguish nib and palette combinations across a very large range. No listing in this catalogue carries the name in its title, which is why this page describes the brush-and-chisel format rather than rating one box.
Are Ohuhu brush markers alcohol based?
The brush and chisel art sets are alcohol-based. Alcohol on paper is only conditional at 1,820 searches a month, feathering and bleeding on anything lighter than proper marker stock, which means the paper you buy matters as much as the set does.
Is Ohuhu good value?
The reports say so emphatically. Value for money draws 4,326 reports across 49 Ohuhu products with 638 negative, a 15% negative rate, and quality draws 11,127 across 62 products with 1,003 negative, 9%. Both are strong numbers on a very large base.
Do Ohuhu markers bleed?
Yes, and buyers expect it. Bleed resistance across Ohuhu products draws 1,872 reports with 1,223 negative, a 65% negative rate, which matches the alcohol type average exactly. Most sets ship a blotter sheet, and the reviews say to use it.
What is the complaint on large Ohuhu sets?
The palette rather than the pens. Colour selection draws 5,473 reports across 36 products with 1,447 negative, a 26% negative rate, and the specific complaint is a set weighted towards greys or missing an obvious colour. Count the colours you will use, not the headline number.
How does Ohuhu compare on price?
Ohuhu holds 146 products here at a median price of $33.99, the highest median of any brand with 20 or more products, and a median rating of 4.7, above the site median of 4.6. The high median reflects large sets rather than expensive pens.
