If you've spent any time in the colouring community, you'll almost certainly have heard of Ohuhu alcohol markers. They're incredibly popular, and for good reason. They've got a huge range of colours, lovely brush tips and they're brilliant for colouring books.
But there's one thing that might put you off buying them, and that's the price!
A full set of 320 Ohuhu alcohol markers is a pretty big investment, particularly if you're new to colouring or you just can't justify spending that much money on another set of pens. And let's face it, if you're anything like me, you've probably already got more colouring supplies than you know what to do with.
That's where the Foxfeel 320 alcohol markers come in.
These are a much cheaper alternative to Ohuhu, offering a massive 320-colour collection with brush and chisel tips. Even better, they use the older Ohuhu colour codes, which makes them particularly interesting if you enjoy following Ohuhu colouring tutorials.
I've been comparing Foxfeel with Ohuhu, and while there are a few differences, I'm genuinely impressed with how well these budget-friendly markers perform.
In this review, I'm going to cover how they colour, whether they blend, how they compare to Ohuhu Honolulu and Honolulu B markers, and where you can buy them.
I've also created three free Foxfeel printables to help you get the most from your markers, including a full 320-colour swatch chart, a pastel colour reference and a Foxfeel to Ohuhu colour code converter so you can follow Ohuhu colouring tutorials using your Foxfeel markers.
And if you love discovering colour combinations, you can also try my free Foxfeel Palette Generator.
What Are Foxfeel 320 Alcohol Markers?
The Foxfeel 320 alcohol markers are a set of 320 alcohol-based colouring pens, with a brush tip at one end and a chisel tip at the other.
They're designed for colouring, illustration and other creative projects, but I'm particularly interested in how they perform in colouring books.
One of the biggest attractions of the Foxfeel set is the sheer number of colours you get for your money.
With 320 markers, you've got plenty of shades to choose from, including soft pastels, bright colours, skin tones, greys, greens, blues, pinks, purples and more.
If you enjoy cosy colouring books, you'll know how useful it is to have lots of different shades of the same colour. Sometimes you want a really pale pink, sometimes you need something slightly warmer, and sometimes you want a much deeper shade to create shadows.
Having a large collection makes choosing those colours much easier.
The Foxfeel markers are alcohol-based, which means you can use them for blending, shading and layering colours.
They also use the older Ohuhu colour codes, which I'll explain in more detail further down because it's one of my favourite things about this set.
You can find the markers here:
Are Foxfeel Alcohol Markers as Good as Ohuhu?
This is the big question, isn't it?
If you've been thinking about buying Ohuhu markers but don't want to spend that much money, you probably want to know whether Foxfeel is a genuine alternative or whether you'll regret buying the cheaper option.
Having used both Foxfeel and Ohuhu alcohol markers, I think the Foxfeel markers perform surprisingly well.
There are some differences, particularly in how the markers themselves feel.
The Foxfeel barrels feel noticeably lighter and cheaper than Ohuhu markers. When you pick them up, they don't have quite the same substantial, premium feel.
The brush tips are also a little firmer. Ohuhu brush tips have that lovely soft, flexible feeling when you're colouring, whereas Foxfeel feels slightly stiffer.
However, the actual colouring performance is still really, really good.
And ultimately, that's the part that matters most to me.
I can forgive a marker having a slightly cheaper-feeling barrel when the actual colouring experience is enjoyable, particularly when there's such a big difference in price.
Some of the colour comparisons between Foxfeel and Ohuhu are also surprisingly close. I've seen shades compared side by side using the matching older Ohuhu codes, and some look almost identical.
That doesn't mean every single Foxfeel marker will be an exact match for the corresponding Ohuhu marker, but it's encouraging if you enjoy following colouring tutorials.
For the money, I think Foxfeel offers a lot.
Are Foxfeel Markers an Ohuhu Dupe?
I'd describe Foxfeel as a budget alternative to Ohuhu rather than claiming they're exactly the same marker.
There are similarities in the colours, the coding system and the way you can use them, but there are also differences in the barrel and brush tip.
If you're someone who absolutely loves the feeling of Ohuhu brush tips, you'll probably notice the difference.
However, if you're primarily interested in getting a huge range of alcohol markers without paying Ohuhu prices, Foxfeel is worth considering.
I also think they're particularly appealing if you've watched loads of Ohuhu colouring videos and wanted to try the same techniques without making such a big investment.
Foxfeel vs Ohuhu Honolulu vs Ohuhu Honolulu B
Before we get any further, I want to talk about the different Ohuhu marker ranges because this can be quite confusing when you're shopping for alcohol markers.
There are two versions of the Ohuhu Honolulu alcohol markers that I'm particularly interested in comparing with Foxfeel.
The regular Ohuhu Honolulu markers have a brush tip and a chisel tip.
The Ohuhu Honolulu B markers have a brush tip and a fine tip.
The Honolulu B markers are actually my personal favourite, because I much prefer having a fine tip for smaller details in colouring books.
Here's how the three 320-colour sets compare.
| Feature | Foxfeel 320 | Ohuhu Honolulu 320 | Ohuhu Honolulu B 320 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colours | 320 | 320 | 320 |
| Ink | Alcohol-based | Alcohol-based | Alcohol-based |
| First tip | Brush | Brush | Brush |
| Second tip | Chisel | Chisel | Fine |
| Colourless blender | Not included | Included | Included |
| Brush tip feel | Firmer | Softer | Softer |
| Barrel feel | Lighter, cheaper feel | More substantial | More substantial |
| Colour coding | Older Ohuhu-style codes | Ohuhu codes | Ohuhu codes |
| Price | Budget-friendly | More expensive | More expensive |
Which Tip Combination Is Better?
This really comes down to personal preference and what you're using your markers for.
I love the brush and fine combination you get with the Ohuhu Honolulu B markers.
The brush tip is brilliant for colouring larger shapes, adding shading and blending colours together. However, having that fine tip at the other end is incredibly useful when you're colouring smaller details.
If you're working on a colouring page with little accessories, small flowers or tiny decorations, a fine tip can make life much easier.
Foxfeel has a brush and chisel combination instead.
The brush tip is still useful for most colouring tasks, while the chisel tip is great for covering larger areas quickly.
If you enjoy colouring backgrounds, walls, furniture or other larger sections, the chisel tip can be really handy.
I wouldn't say that one combination is necessarily better for everyone, but I personally prefer the flexibility of brush and fine tips.
That said, I certainly wouldn't rule out Foxfeel simply because they have a chisel tip.
Do Foxfeel Alcohol Markers Blend?
Yes! Foxfeel alcohol markers can be used for blending.
Because they're alcohol-based, you can use them to build up colour, create shading and blend different shades together.
One of the things I love about alcohol markers is how you can use several shades of the same colour to make an illustration look more interesting.
For example, if you're colouring a little pink cupcake, you could start with a pale pink, add a darker pink around the edges and then use your lighter shade to soften the transition.
You can do something similar with clothing, flowers, leaves, furniture and lots of other illustrations.
How to Blend With Foxfeel Alcohol Markers
If you're new to blending alcohol markers, I recommend starting with two or three colours that are fairly similar.
For example, choose a pale blue, a medium blue and a slightly darker blue.
Start by colouring your area with the lightest colour, then add the darker shade where you want the shadows to appear.
While the ink is still wet, go back over the area with your lighter marker to help soften the transition.
You might need to practise a little to get the effect you're looking for, but that's completely normal.
The paper you're using also makes a difference. Some paper allows you to blend much more easily than others, and particularly absorbent paper can make the colours harder to work with.
And remember, you don't have to blend your alcohol markers at all!
If you prefer colouring with solid blocks of colour, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Try My Foxfeel Palette Generator
If you're not sure which shades to put together, I've made a Foxfeel Palette Generator to help you choose colour combinations.
It's particularly handy when you've got 320 markers in front of you and absolutely no idea where to start.
Rather than spending ages trying to decide which colours to use, you can generate a palette and use it as inspiration for your next colouring page.
Foxfeel Alcohol Markers Use the Old Ohuhu Colour Codes
This is one of the most interesting things about the Foxfeel 320 markers, especially if you're already familiar with Ohuhu.
Foxfeel uses the older Ohuhu-style colour codes.
If you've been colouring for a while, you might know that Ohuhu has used different colour coding systems.
Some older Ohuhu swatch charts and tutorials use one set of codes, while newer charts and markers display updated codes.
For example, an older colour code might be completely different from the newer code for that shade.
This can be confusing enough when you're using Ohuhu markers, let alone when you're trying to follow a tutorial with another brand!
The great thing about Foxfeel is that the 320 set uses the older style of Ohuhu codes.
This means you can look at an older Ohuhu palette or colouring tutorial and potentially find the matching code in your Foxfeel set.
It's a really useful feature if you've bought Foxfeel as a cheaper alternative to Ohuhu.
Can You Follow Ohuhu Tutorials With Foxfeel Markers?
Yes, you can use Ohuhu colouring tutorials as inspiration for your Foxfeel markers.
If a tutorial uses older Ohuhu colour codes, you can check whether those same codes appear in your Foxfeel collection.
For tutorials using newer Ohuhu codes, you'll need to find the corresponding older code first.
There is one important thing to remember, though.
Matching colour codes don't guarantee identical colours.
Even where Foxfeel and Ohuhu use the same code, there can be differences in the actual ink colour.
I always recommend testing the colours on a swatch sheet before using them in your colouring book.
That way, you'll be able to see how the shades look together and make any adjustments before you start colouring.
And because I know how frustrating it can be trying to work out which marker you're supposed to use, I've created a free printable to make this much easier.
Free Foxfeel 320 Alcohol Marker Swatch Chart
If you've bought the Foxfeel 320 alcohol markers, one of the first things I'd recommend doing is swatching every colour.
I know, I know. Swatching 320 markers can feel like a huge task!
However, I genuinely think it's worth doing, particularly when you've got such a large set.
The colours shown on marker caps aren't always completely accurate, and some markers can look quite different once they're on paper.
Having a swatch chart means you can see what each colour actually looks like without constantly testing different pens while you're colouring.
It's also really useful when you want to choose several shades that work nicely together.
Download My Free Foxfeel 320 Swatch Chart
I've created a free Foxfeel 320 alcohol marker swatch chart that you can print at home.
It includes all 320 marker codes, organised into colour families, with blank spaces for you to colour in.
The printable is designed to fit onto one landscape A4 page, so you can keep your entire collection together on one handy reference sheet.
I recommend printing your swatch chart on paper that's similar to the paper in the colouring books you normally use.
That way, you'll get a more realistic idea of how the markers behave.
If your download isn't working, your printer is cutting part of the sheet off or you're not sure which print settings to choose, take a look at my Printable Download Troubleshooting Guide.
Once you've swatched all your markers, why not put them to use with my Foxfeel Palette Generator? It's a lovely way to discover colour combinations you might not have thought of yourself.
Free Foxfeel to Ohuhu Colour Code Converter Printable
If you've bought the Foxfeel 320 alcohol markers because you want to follow Ohuhu colouring tutorials, this is probably going to be one of the most useful downloads on this page!
So many colouring tutorials on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram use Ohuhu alcohol markers, and the creators often share the exact colour codes they've used.
That's brilliant if you've got the same Ohuhu set, but what happens if you're using Foxfeel instead?
Because Foxfeel uses the older Ohuhu colour codes, the marker you're looking for might have a completely different number from the one shown in the tutorial.
That's why I've created my free Foxfeel 320 to Ohuhu Colour Code Converter.
The printable includes all 320 Foxfeel marker codes alongside their corresponding newer Ohuhu codes, making it much easier to find the marker you need.
For example, if someone in a colouring tutorial tells you to use Ohuhu BG09, you can look at my converter and find that the corresponding Foxfeel marker is G326.
Or if the tutorial uses Ohuhu BV38, you can find the Foxfeel marker labelled PB1.
I've also included colour references alongside the codes, so it's much easier to find the shade you're looking for rather than having to scan through a huge list of numbers.
The converter is designed to be printed at home, so you can keep it beside your colouring supplies whenever you're following an Ohuhu tutorial.
I think this is particularly handy if you love watching colouring tutorials but don't want to spend a fortune buying the exact same markers as the creator.
Just remember that these are matching colour codes rather than guaranteed identical ink colours. It's always worth checking the colour on your own swatch chart before starting your page.
If you're having trouble downloading or printing the converter, take a look at my Printable Download Troubleshooting Guide.
You can also use my Foxfeel Palette Generator to create your own colour combinations when you fancy trying something different.
Does the Foxfeel 320 Set Include Pastel Colours?
Yes, and this is another reason I'm excited about the Foxfeel 320 set!
If you love colouring cute, cosy illustrations, you'll know just how useful pastel shades can be.
Think soft pinks for cupcakes, pale blues for skies, light greens for plants, gentle purples for accessories and lovely creamy shades for furniture and backgrounds.
I love having lots of pastel colours available because they make it much easier to create softer colour combinations.
The great thing about the Foxfeel 320 set is that you already get a huge selection of lighter shades included.
You don't need to buy an entirely separate pastel collection to start experimenting with them.
Which Foxfeel 320 Markers Are Pastels?
I compared the codes in the Foxfeel 320 set against two of Ohuhu's 48-colour pastel charts.
Between the two charts, there are 96 pastel colour codes.
Of those, 93 matching codes appear on the Foxfeel 320 swatch chart.
That means you've got a really useful selection of shades from Ohuhu's pastel collections represented in the Foxfeel 320 range.
The three codes from those charts that I couldn't find in the Foxfeel 320 swatch chart are:
| New Ohuhu code | Older Ohuhu code |
|---|---|
| YR05 | E020 |
| YR56 | R090 |
| B310 | BG103 |
So although the Foxfeel markers use the older coding system, the sets aren't necessarily identical in their colour selections.
And of course, matching codes don't guarantee that the Foxfeel ink will look exactly the same as the corresponding Ohuhu colour.
Download My Free Foxfeel 320 Pastel Colour Reference
I've also created a free pastel colour reference sheet for the Foxfeel 320 markers.
This one is a little different from my full 320 swatch chart.
Rather than having blank spaces for you to colour in, it contains 93 pastel shades already filled in with reference colours.
It also includes the Foxfeel marker codes, making it really easy to identify the softer shades in your collection.
The reference colours are based on the corresponding Ohuhu pastel charts, so they're a useful visual guide rather than a guarantee of the exact colour your Foxfeel marker will produce.
The printable fits onto one portrait A4 page, making it easy to keep beside you while you're colouring.
If you're having trouble downloading or printing the sheet, my Printable Download Troubleshooting Guide should help.
I think this printable will be particularly useful if you love colouring with pastel palettes or you're following tutorials that use Ohuhu's pastel markers.
And if you're looking for some new pastel combinations to try, don't forget to visit my Foxfeel Palette Generator.
Do Foxfeel 320 Markers Come With a Colourless Blender?
No, and this is one difference between the Foxfeel and Ohuhu 320 sets.
The Foxfeel 320 alcohol markers do not include a colourless blender.
Both the Ohuhu Honolulu 320 and Honolulu B 320 sets include a colourless blender, but you'll need to purchase one separately if you're using Foxfeel.
However, I wouldn't let that put you off the markers.
A colourless blender can be useful, but you don't need one to enjoy alcohol marker colouring.
You can still blend two or more coloured markers together without using a colourless blender.
What Does a Colourless Blender Do?
Despite its name, a colourless blender doesn't simply blend two colours together like a magic tool.
It's filled with a clear alcohol-based solution that can move and dilute alcohol marker ink.
You can use it for techniques such as softening certain edges, creating lighter effects, moving colour around and adding texture.
It's important to remember that it isn't an eraser, though.
If you colour outside the lines, a colourless blender might help push some ink back towards the correct area, but it won't necessarily remove the colour completely.
If you'd like to try using one, you can buy Ohuhu Colourless Blenders here.
As with any new colouring technique, I'd recommend trying it on a scrap of paper first.
Are Foxfeel Alcohol Markers Good for Colouring Books?
I think the Foxfeel 320 set is a really interesting option for colouring book enthusiasts, particularly if you enjoy using alcohol markers in single-sided colouring books.
Having so many colours available is brilliant for those cute, cosy illustrations that feature lots of little objects.
You might have a colouring page with a bedroom, for example, where you need different shades for the walls, bedding, plants, furniture, decorations and clothing.
With 320 markers to choose from, there's a good chance you'll find plenty of shades that work nicely together.
The brush tip is useful for colouring curved outlines, while the chisel tip can help you cover larger areas.
However, there is one really important thing to remember.
Do Foxfeel Alcohol Markers Bleed Through Paper?
Yes, Foxfeel alcohol markers bleed through paper.
This isn't something that's unique to Foxfeel. It's a characteristic of alcohol markers in general, including much more expensive brands.
If you're using a colouring book with pictures printed on both sides of the paper, alcohol markers could bleed through and damage the illustration on the reverse.
Even in single-sided books, the ink can transfer onto the next page if you don't protect it.
I recommend putting a spare sheet of thick card or a protective sheet behind the page you're colouring.
You should also test the markers before using them on a colouring page that you really don't want to spoil.
Can You Use Foxfeel Markers in Disney Colour by Numbers Books?
This is something I particularly want to mention because I know so many of you love Disney colour by numbers.
I generally wouldn't recommend alcohol markers for Disney colour-by-number books, especially those with thin or double-sided pages.
Because the ink can bleed through the paper, you could end up damaging the picture on the other side.
For Disney colour-by-number books, I personally prefer using acrylic markers or gel pens.
However, for single-sided cosy colouring books that work well with alcohol markers, Foxfeel could be a lovely option.
Where to Buy Foxfeel 320 Alcohol Markers in the UK
If you're thinking about trying the Foxfeel 320 set, there are a couple of places I'd recommend checking.
As with lots of colouring supplies, prices and availability can change, so it's always worth comparing the current offers.
Buy Foxfeel 320 Alcohol Markers on TikTok Shop
TikTok Shop is a good place to check, particularly if you've already seen people using Foxfeel markers in colouring videos.
One of the things I like about shopping for colouring supplies on TikTok is that you can often see the products being used before deciding whether to buy them.
You can watch people swatching the colours, testing the brush tips and colouring with the markers.
There may also be vouchers or special offers available.
Shop Foxfeel Alcohol Markers on TikTok Shop
Buy Foxfeel Alcohol Markers on Temu
You can also check Temu for Foxfeel alcohol markers.
Temu is worth comparing if you're shopping for budget-friendly colouring supplies.
Just make sure you're looking at the correct set, as there are lots of alcohol marker collections with different quantities and tip combinations.
If you're specifically looking for the markers I've reviewed here, check that the listing is for the 320-colour Foxfeel set with brush and chisel tips.
Shop Foxfeel Alcohol Markers on Temu
Can You Buy Foxfeel Alcohol Markers on Amazon?
You may also come across Foxfeel markers when searching on Amazon, although availability of the exact 320 set can vary.
I would check the product details carefully before ordering, particularly the number of markers included and whether the tips are brush and chisel.
For now, my main shopping links are TikTok Shop and Temu.
Are Foxfeel 320 Alcohol Markers Worth Buying?
If you've been looking for a cheaper alternative to Ohuhu alcohol markers, I think the Foxfeel 320 set is well worth considering.
There are some differences. The barrel feels lighter and cheaper, and the brush tip is a little firmer than Ohuhu's lovely soft brush nib.
I also wish the set included a colourless blender, although that's something you can buy separately.
But when it comes to the actual colouring performance, I'm really impressed with what Foxfeel offers for the money.
You get a huge selection of 320 colours, brush and chisel tips, and the older Ohuhu-style colour codes, which could be particularly useful if you enjoy following colouring tutorials.
Having so many pastel shades included is another big attraction, especially if you love cute and cosy colouring books.
Would I give up my Ohuhu Honolulu B markers completely? No, because I really do love that brush and fine tip combination.
But do I think everyone needs to spend Ohuhu money to enjoy alcohol marker colouring? Absolutely not.
If you want a big collection of markers without such a big price tag, Foxfeel is a really appealing option.
And if you do decide to buy them, make sure you grab my free Foxfeel swatch chart, pastel colour reference and Ohuhu colour code converter.
You can also use my Foxfeel Palette Generator to help you discover new colour combinations and get even more use from your markers.
Foxfeel 320 Alcohol Markers FAQs
Are Foxfeel alcohol markers the same as Ohuhu?
No. Foxfeel and Ohuhu are different brands, although the Foxfeel 320 set uses the older Ohuhu-style colour codes. Some corresponding colours can look very similar, but that doesn't mean every shade or feature is identical.
Are Foxfeel markers cheaper than Ohuhu?
Yes, Foxfeel is positioned as a budget-friendly alternative to Ohuhu. However, prices can change, so it's worth comparing the current offers before buying.
Do Foxfeel alcohol markers blend well?
Foxfeel alcohol markers can be used for blending and shading. As with other alcohol markers, you'll generally get better results by choosing colours that work well together and blending while the ink is still wet.
Do Foxfeel markers have brush tips?
Yes. The Foxfeel 320 set has brush and chisel tips. If you prefer a brush and fine tip combination, the Ohuhu Honolulu B range is worth considering instead.
Do Foxfeel 320 markers have a colourless blender?
No. The Foxfeel 320 set doesn't come with a colourless blender. You can purchase an Ohuhu Colourless Blender separately if you'd like to experiment with one.
Do Foxfeel markers use the same colour codes as Ohuhu?
Foxfeel 320 markers use older Ohuhu-style colour codes. That can make it easier to follow tutorials featuring older Ohuhu palettes, although matching codes don't guarantee the colours will be exactly identical.
Can I follow Ohuhu tutorials with Foxfeel markers?
Yes! I've created a free Foxfeel to Ohuhu colour code converter with all 320 corresponding codes. You can use it to look up the newer Ohuhu codes used in colouring tutorials and find the matching Foxfeel marker. Just remember to check the actual colours because matching codes don't necessarily mean identical ink shades.
How many pastel colours are in the Foxfeel 320 set?
I identified 93 matching codes from two 48-colour Ohuhu pastel charts in the Foxfeel 320 swatch chart. You can find them all in my free pastel colour reference printable. This is a comparison against those two Ohuhu collections, rather than a claim that they're the only pastel-looking shades in the Foxfeel set.
Is there a Foxfeel palette generator?
Yes! You can use my free Foxfeel Palette Generator on Emma's Hobby Corner to find inspiration for your next colouring page.
Can you use Foxfeel alcohol markers in colouring books?
Yes, but they're most suitable for paper that can handle alcohol markers. The ink can bleed through thin pages, so I recommend using them in single-sided colouring books with a protective sheet behind the page.
Can you refill Foxfeel alcohol markers?
I haven't found a verified official refill system for the Foxfeel 320 markers. If being able to replace individual ink colours is important to you, it's worth checking the available replacement options before buying.
Where can I buy Foxfeel 320 alcohol markers?
You can check TikTok Shop and Temu for the Foxfeel 320 marker set. Always check the product details and current price before ordering.
