Advantages: Excellent quality, good colours, comfortable to hold, and good to look at. Disadvantages: Would have liked an extra black pen.
I have always found the Staedtler fineliner to be a very reliable product. I study graphic design and therefore require a pen to perform to a certain standard and I have found that the Staedtler fineliner has always been able to provide this function.
I like the appearance of the pen, the combination of the silver body with a colour coded lid and end is really cool. Also, the packaging itself is very innovative: a see through packet that you can turn into a pen stand makes it easier to access the pens and it brings an aesthetic quality to the product.
No matter how much you suck the top the ink doesn?t spill out into your mouth, which is definitely a bonus when you are in deep concentration.
It also has dry safe anti smudge technology, which means when the ink touches paper it dry instantly. This is a very important aspect for me ...
Advantages: re usable drawing mat Disadvantages: ?
Tomy aqua draw,
Guess what I bought Adrian? Yes an aqua draw.
Tomy Aqua draw is a mat 90cm x90cm it is double skinned the bottom layer a blue waterproof fabric the op layer a white close weave material.
There are two water pens that come with the mat these are filled by removing the nib and filling with water from a jug. Yes all that is needed to draw on this mat is water no ink involved.
The mat has a border around it with pre printed numbers and letters there are pictures, which relate to the letters too. The letters are large and drawn double so that you can copy the letter inside. These are very good for practicing early writing skills
The centre square of the mat is plain white plenty of room to draw a magnificent picture.
Place the mat on a table or directly on the floor blue waterproof side down draw on mat ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Tomy AquaDraw
Advantages: Easily obtainable, good value, recyclable. Disadvantages: Really just the idea of it not being a genuine new original!
10mls
In my packs, the cartridges were fitted into a plastic clip 'bracket' for protection during transport. There was also an envelope to return unwanted cartridges for recycling, which must be good for the environment? One of my envelopes had a draw on it to win a car, (if I win I will review it on Ciao and give Richada a run for his money lol!) or you could choose to donate to a charity and get tesco club points.

The ink cartridges took only a few moments to clip into place, and I suffered no mess.
MY OPINION:
Although I chose a colour cartridge H50 and a black H90, The packs did not specify the quantity of ink inside the cartridge. However there was a helpline No. 0800 8494 658, which I rang to enquire the ink ...
