Flexible brush tip: Brush tip is made of natural, sable hairs, which makes brush writing quite easy, as it has excellent elasticity and durability. Versatility in line width makes it easy to draw thin, detail line strokes in illustrations. Pigment ink is water-resistant after drying.Great for Lettering: Easy to alternate the line strength between stronger, bold lines, and softer, thin lines, so it is ideal for brush lettering and hand lettering.Includes 3 spare ink cartridges. Perfect for gifts.As the ink and tip are replaceable, pen can be used for a long time.History: In 1973, Kuretake developed the "Kuretake Fude Pen" and has since developed various fude (brush) pens since then. The continuous development of brush pen technology over time has been applied to fountain brush pens such as this, and as such has become a high-quality brush pen tool.
If you are just starting out then I would recommend the Kuretake No 13. It is a decent brush that can use Platinum converters.
Now not only is it a good starter brush pen that is refillable. This pen can also fit the natural sable hair brush refills if you care to upgrade without having to pay out for the Kuretake No 40/50 pen.
Here is a gallery from a past post where I used the natural brush heads in kuretake pens to give you an example. https://imgur.com/a/pBpHt#4
And lastly you really don't need a converter unless you really want to use them. Just syringe refill the cartridges when they are empty.
Okay.
This is the big one. Where is the top of the head? The placement on the paper feels arbitrary, like it wasn't thought through first. Was it penciled out first to get the dimension and form right?
(If you use another sheet under it... draw it separately so there isn't markings on the paper edge of the top one and tape it underneath leaving the top untapped. Then straight into a dollar store frame and BAM no one will see it.)
The form of the piece next: this is usually pretty easy to accomplish using pencil first. Maybe you did, I can't tell from the picture. The most distracting things in the form is the vertical ridge on the helmet being all askance, and the two cheekbones being very very different. I see other symmetry issues but they aren't as obvious... (as far as symmetry goes, it's good to break it up and not have everything equal on both sides but the actual mask being different hurts it.)
Lastly, ballpoint pen. The level of devotion to crosshatching here is high, you deserve to treat yourself to a real tool. Spend $15 on some nice pens, your ballpoint pen isn't serving you. I like these things: https://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Sumi-Brush-Pen/dp/B000EBJIKS/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1473923359&sr=8-11&keywords=Kuretake+Brush+Pen
Fun stuff, keep drawing!
I doubt it. The wiki redirects you all over the place and it was just kinda weird. If you are willing to answer a question though Is this a decent brush pen? I will be using the cartridges and then refilling with fountain pen ink. If you have another suggestion also.
