Drawing portraits can be a challenging experience for artists. Even seasoned vets can find recreating exact skin tones, eye colors and hair colors a difficult task.
We want to make life a little easier for our artist friends, so we created the Tombow Dual Brush Portrait Set. The set, which comes in a 6- and a 10-pack, features various flesh tones, plus a blender pen, that can be blended to give your portrait a lifelike affect.
The featured portrait was created by illustrator Jim Nichols for the Portrait Set packaging.
There is nothing worse than being under a deadline at the office and having your project falls to pieces on you because the adhesive didn’t hold it together.
Well, Tombow’s MONO Adhesive Permanent performs exactly as it names implies. The adhesive instantly forms a permanent, clean and wrinkle free bond that is safe to use on presentations, forms and envelopes. Its snap-in refill cartridge makes refilling simple. And even the Photographic Activity Test (PAT) has given the acid-free adhesive its stamp of approval.
So don’t let another project crumble on you. Try the MONO Adhesive Permanent. Visit our YouTube page to view a product demonstration.

The former investment banker turned artist is a huge fan of our Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Terry’s such a fan that he gave our pens, not to mention our pencils and adhesives, a glowing recommendation on his website.
“I love Tombow pens, and if you’ve seen my Public TV Special, or any of my workshops, you’ll know I use Tombow Dual Brush Pens for creating value studies and many sketches. Tombow also makes excellent professional grade drawing and sketching pencils and archival quality paper adhesives – which work great for attaching photos, artwork or crafts to scrapbooks or photo albums or anywhere you need it! Tombow makes great products and I recommend them to you!”

Because our company has Japanese roots, we have opportunities to collaborate with the team in Tokyo to create new products. One of the newest products that we’ve developed is the Manga Dual Brush Pen sets.
Manga is the Japanese comic art form that is wildly popular in the US. Our sets are named after two traditional types of manga, shojo (boy) and shonen (girl). Our Shojo sets have bright purples, blues, pinks and reds, while the Shonen sets contains warm browns, oranges, yellows and greens. Wait until you see some of our Manga drawings…

There’s more than one way to make a handwritten mistake, which means there’s more than one way to correct it. Tombow offers correction tape to fit a variety of needs. With tape in varying widths and three distictive applicator styles, correcting just got a whole lot easier – and more personal. Now the only question is, which Tombow correction tape is right for you?
Our Dual Brush Pens are, by far, one of the products that Tombow fans absolutely rave about, so we expanded the line and created Professional Dual Brush Pens sets for artists. Our new packs come in primary, secondary, landscape, portrait and grayscale color palettes in both 6- and 10-packs. We worked with well-known illustrator Jim Nichols to create packaging artwork that would showcase each color palette. Jim’s amazing artwork showcases the range of technique that can be achieved using these pens. We’d love to see some of the artwork you create using the new sets. Fan us on Facebook to upload you creations!
