[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been working with these for a few days now and I am already impressed with the quality of the pictures and notes the ink leaves behind. This gel really does dry faster, depending on the weight and grain of the paper, drying times are even quicker(heavier papers have shown to have quickest drying times from my short experience). I have used them now for drawing/doodling, coloring in an adult coloring book(I used other brand pens to complete a full array of colors, which btw did not compare to these after using together), note writing and drawing happy friends(smiley faces)on my youngest's fingers. In all cases, including the finger drawings, the ink dried faster than other brands. The lines were consistent, there were no gaps in the line for me to go back and redo, as we all know that gel pens can't always draw a line without having gaps in the gel ink. The rubber grip was also very comfortable to hold making the pen easier to use. The only suggestion I have to keep them in tip top writing/drawing shape is to keep them point side down in a container. This will keep the gel closest to the tip and should prevent drying on the tip, so the next time you need it, no scribbling to get it flowing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These BIG Gel-ocity pens are GREAT. We have been using them nonstop from writing lists, to coloring some pictures and even for some fun doodling. The pens are smooth, the color is great and my daughter is definitely bringing them to school. We will be buying some more this weekend during our tax free days!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tired them out for organizing our school Calendar and they're wonderful! It helps me track what we are doing by using a color for each child. It's also the first pen I have used that didn't smear for a lefty! This was made for lefties!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these gel pens. I am left handed and every time I have used gel pens in the past they end up smudged all over my hand. These pens dry so fast that they don't do that to me. The colors are bright and beautiful. So I am happy to say that they pass the left handed test. I did receive a three pack of the BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry gel pens to try from Smiley360 for free in exchange for my honest opinion. However I am in no way required to leave positive feedback, just honest.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Receiving my BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry Gel pens was like my birthday! They write so smoothly, I LOVE the colors, (Blue, Pink, Purple) I will definetly be buying more!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens write so smoothly. The colors are bold, and very easy to see. They don't smear, which is super important. The whole pen feels slightly cushioned, so they feel nice in my hand.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] And rub a couple of the colors together for a blended/shading effect. Yeah, that didn't happen. They dry so fast, I just couldn't do it. It's pretty impressive really. There was no ink on our skin even though are hands and wrists were all over the paper while coloring.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the best! The kids love them cause they write smooth and bright! I love them because they dont smudge, or leave pen all over the wrists and hands of the children!
