TombowFudenosuke Brush Pen - Soft Type 5 Pens Arts Value set

These pens are my favorite brush pens and I mainly use them for modern calligraphy. They are the perfect size to take on-the-go, and I use them to share my handlettered pieces on social media, write headers on my college notes and planners, and occassionally for drawing.FEEL OF PENThe material of the brush pen's handle is plastic, and feels very soft and comfortable to the touch. The pens are not slippery and the tips are very soft and flexible, so use them with a very light hand. The nibs are small felt tips, so they do not have any bristles and work best for small works.DURATION AND COLOUR OF INKThe ink is water-based, so they are not archival. However, the ink looks pure black on white paper and a very dark brown on tan/creme-coloured paper. Do not use these pens on cheap printer or other textured papers as they will fray. They work really well on parchment paper (let them dry!) and very smooth paper like HP bright white paper. Depending on the seller, the pens will either dry quickly, come overfilled with ink (I solve this by leaving them uncapped for a few minutes), or come with the perfect amount of ink. Since these do come in a multiple pack, beware that your pens might fall in only one or several of these categories. In general, they do dry quickly over time if you leave them uncapped, so always make sure to cap them well. Store them sideways or with the cap down to ensure the ink's duration. A pack of five pens will typically last me 5-7 months since I use them very frequently. Note: duration will vary by individual pen and the smoothness of paper. If you right on textured paper, the ink will dry quickly and the pens will fray; but if you write on smooth paper, the ink will last and the pens will not fray unless you really try to make them fray.STROKE SIZE/THICKNESSDepending on you hand pressure, you can achieve 3-4 different stroke thicknesses. However, most people only achieve 2 if they do not hold the pen sideways. That being said, I typically only use the two main thicknesses by holding the pen upright.

Used to add colors to sketches. Nice product

These pens are amazing. I thought for the longest time that I just wasn't going to be a good artist on paper, but these pens have unlocked possibilities I didn't think possible. To explain, these type of brush pens allow you to vary the pressure and get amazing details. I have been using these to do "old timey" etching style drawings. I absolutely love them for drawing/doodling. I attempted to use them for calligraphy, but I still haven't studied it enough to take advantage. I highly recommend these pens, it was a great price and the quality is amazing. Even after a lot of drawing and sketching, the tip has retained it's brush shape and is still able to offer tiny little lines.

These have a nice, smooth feel which allows you to make long, flowing strokes effortlessly. Line weight variations are easy and natural to make.I've found that a new pen straight out of the package will give you a stroke that doesn't start fading for about 15 inches, and fades out by about 24 inches, which suffices for most anything I'm doing with it.They don't last terribly long for a brush pen, starting to fade after about a week of regular use. Fortunately, they're quite inexpensive, especially when bought in multi-packs like the 5-pack I'm reviewing. Hence, if you get these and end up liking them, make sure to get enough of them for your needs!

Great pens that write super smooth.

I really love these! I just started my calligraphy journey and these were the top of my list. They are easy to handle and lightweight. They're also very little odor which other brands tend to have. I also used these as my primary pen for Inktober and they were great for detailing or shading difficult areas.

I like these types of markers. My last set like these didn’t last as long as I thought they should have. For the price, I decided to just order more instead of deal with fading markers. I hope these last longer.

I love these. Some might like the medium tip more for drawing, but I really like the different lines I can get. Thick or thin, depending on the pressure, and how much the tip is broken in. They don’t fray, the ink is good, and I can use one for a very long time.

Uso questi pennarelli per inchiostrare i disegni a matita. Comprati per l'ennesima volta, alterno questo modello a quello a punta dura. Ottimi, per quanto mi riguarda, sotto tutti i punti di vista.

Lovely pens to write with!

Excellent for beginners..Its thin n thick strokes come out smoothly and
