It's a brush pen. They are extremely fun to play with.

Looks like a brush pen perhaps, but I'm not for sure.

Pentel Brush Pens appear to be the most popular. Here's an Amazon link.

I've been doing ink and watercolor sketches in a sketchbook lately and have been using microns (which you can find at Michael's) and One of these Pentel brush pens (that I've been loving). brush pens also let you vary your line thickness more than the set size microns, I think they work well together though.

Microns are the best although this is my favorite of all pens to doodle with: http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Pocket-Brush-Refills-GFKP3BPA/dp/B002LJRKN8

I really really like sketching in ink. It forces me to live with (and not erase) lines, so I think it helps me learn through sketching. I also like doing my finished work in ink, so it is good practice for that too.

I have been using a Pentel Brush Pen lately to good results, although I usually like to go back and finish with it. For just sketch sketching, I like a thinner line. I use fountain pens, or sometimes the Sakura Pigma Micron's.

For sketchbooks, I've been pretty happy with my current Stillman & Birn Epsilon. It handles washes of water color/ink pretty well, and generally is not too seethrough (so I can sketch on both sides of the page).

Check out the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. It's one of my favorite ink tools to use. Insane variation in width once you learn how to use it. I prefer it and Micron pens over Fabre Castell.

I am a librarian by trade, but have a fine arts degree, and pen-and-ink is one of my favorite mediums. I still have much to learn, but here's some examples of my dabblings: https://imgur.com/a/XvFlNY9
Micron pens are fantastic! I'm also fond of brush pens (the Pentel is an affordable one: https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Pocket-Brush-Refills-GFKP3BPA/dp/B002LJRKN8).

Don't be afraid of burning through your pens. If you really have zero drawing skills, your first 100 drawings will likely be crap, and there's not much you can do about it. You seriously will have to go through dozens of crappy drawings to get to your good ones. You can't be worried about using up your art materials, because art materials are MEANT to used up as you work on developing your craft! Watching Youtube videos and taking online classes are well and good, but honestly the only way you're really going to learn is to churn out drawing after drawing. That's the only way to get a feel for line weights, composition, hatching/cross hatching techniques, etc.

If you're REALLY concerned with messing up your pens, draw for a bit using pencils first, to get a feel of what it is put marks on paper. Start small! Draw the still-lifes on your desk, etc. :)

u/professor_doom · 3 pointsr/pics

I have a Pentel Pocket Brush and extra cartidge in my pocket at all times these days. It's the best thing out there by far.

C'mon...gimme.

thanks :)

If you are interested in practicing your characters and are going for an authentic look and feel, I recommend the following:

u/PixelWave · 2 pointsr/pens

Well if you want arty pens, a set of sakura pigma microns are amazing for drawing but she probably already has something similar if not the same.

Continuing on the art type pen stuff, you could always go the brush pen route which are so much fun to use but you can't really consistently write a lot of notes with them.

I've always been really partial to fine point sharpie pens. (There's disposable versions and refillable stainless steel versions). It might seem a bit cheap because of the sharpie brand though but the pens are amazing.

if you want a safe bet for a sturdy pen for taking notes the parker jotter (like everyone else said) is a very classic pen with a refined look and even though I've never personally owned one, I've head a lot of good things. They even sell pen and mechanical pencil sets.

Alternatively the phx pen is very decent with a minimalist look. It also takes two very popular refills. The pen's price is 29$ though, instead of 25$ or less.

u/kentheidelman · 2 pointsr/ArtistLounge

It really depends on your budget, what were you thinking? Obviously there's a lot of directions to go in. Whatever path you take, I also recommend getting better pencils and paper from an art supply store. It's important to do digital and physical. Both skills will always be handy for an artist. I'm using a Surface Pro 4 great for what you mentioned, and it's mind blowing. The Surface Pro series is going to be a bit more economical compared to the Wacom stuff. The reason to go more Wacom/Surface Pro is the same others have already mentioned. Pressure sensitivity! It can detect more, and get more detail. There are two kinds of digital drawing. Drawing directly on the screen (preferred, you can see what you're doing) or drawing off screen on a sensor pad, that's attached through a USB chord (cheaper). With the Surface Pro you can draw directly on the screen. For programs I'd recommend Photoshop or Clip Studio if you want something a little cheaper that's arguable to be just as good if not better to inking Manga and Comics. Another reason to avoid Ipads and Phones, etc. is that they don't have the software to run normal computer programs, they run slimmed down versions which only give you a little not a lot. That's a bit of my take on the computer stuff. If you're curious for physical stuff at all, I'm using a brush pen from Pentel and another from Copic which would be good for anime/manga art as you mentioned. Right now I'm also drawing some comics physically with it, and it's doing the job of like 10-20 pens I would normally use. Plus they are both refillable. Inking lets you get crisp lines and you can erase the pencils away afterwards. Here's the paper I'm using, which already comes with light blue guide lines printed on it (the lines are the standard comic formatting for American Comics). They are easy to get rid of while scanning.

u/ZombieButch · 2 pointsr/learnart

You mean one of these? Because I'm on my second one in about... 13 years now, I think, and I only switched to the second because the brush on the first was just barely too splayed out to let me get needle-thin lines, so my wife uses it now to do quick sketches that don't require such thin lines. Unless you got a defective one - always possible - I'd guess you didn't have the ink cartridge seated all the way in.

u/ladykristianna · 2 pointsr/Watercolor

I'm not sure how the OP did it, but I've used a black Pentel pocket brush pen in combination with some Micron pens in my own work to get a similar look.

u/Robinina · 2 pointsr/PenmanshipPorn

I am using the following pen in the above video:

This pen was very tricky for me when I was just starting out. However, I still think you will like that pen very much. Lots of obsessive practice!

Deze is wel goed voor Chinese tekens:

Ik heb in Japan gestudeerd en daar schreef iedereen met van die potloodpennen (die je kunt indrukken en dan krijg je weer een nieuw stukje lood, zoals deze:

https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Automatic-Drafting-Brushed-PG1015A/dp/B000GAU2RU/


Die dingen schrijven heel erg fijn (fijner dan veel pennen) en zijn voor veel studenten dé standaard in Azië en dus voor het schrijven van Chinees en Japans. Dus wat dat betreft kan ik het merk Pentel (Japans merk) aanraden. Wanneer ik Japans schrijf gebruik ik eigenlijk altijd een Pentel-pen.


u/bsista · 2 pointsr/PenmanshipPorn

It's a brush pen!
I bought one recently on Amazon and while it's absurdly fun to write with, I'm not even close to talented enough to be able to handle it like Monday-guy does.

u/TornBlotterPaper · 2 pointsr/Art

Copics are good, I like PITT art pens which come in different tip sizes, and I think my favorite to play with would be brush pens. If you go on Amazon, you'll see the Pentel version, which is fairly cheap and if you work delicately you can get some neat thin lines, as well as vary your pressure for different line weights. It uses cartridges, which you can buy seperately and inexpensively.

u/jarwastudios · 1 pointr/Illustration

I started doing digital art a few years ago, and just couldn't get into it like I wanted to. Recently I've gotten more into colored pencils and markers, and even water color. I wasn't very good with any of those before, but I'm getting a quick handle on it and I love it.

Someone once told me, if I wanted to be a better artist, I needed to do the things I wasn't comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with those coloring mediums so I gave it a shot because I just didn't care for digital even though I could do it with some degree of decency, and I feel like I'm becoming a better artist for it.

Also, if you like that kind of unpredictability, I suggest the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. It has an actual brush tip, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

u/Captain_Kittenface · 1 pointr/comic_crits

I use this for primary inking, this for details and lettering, and I used to use this when I first got into brush pens. It got stolen in May and I haven't replaced it but I do miss it for sketches and messing around. For an actual brush I use the Windsor series 7 but breaking out the ink and paper towels and all the mess hardly seems worth it these days. It is by far the nicest but it's a hell of a lot of work.

u/Cheeseho12 · 1 pointr/webcomics

I've been offline for a bit and didn't notice this, sorry if you feel I'm necromancing this.

You can use a variety of shaped felt tipped pens to get similar effects, Micron makes edged pens and felt 'brushes' that work reasonably well. Pentel makes a great brush pen (Amazon link) that's refillable and really pretty awesome. Nearly every cartoonist I know has a couple of these.

If you want to work digitally, you can get Wacom's excellent Intuos medium tablet for $350. Or even cheaper, search 'Wacom' on ebay, I just found two great deals (an Intuos 4 medium wireless tablet for about $150, and a Intuos 4 wired large tablet for $225). I use an Intuos 3 and it's still great. You could also look up their Bamboo line, I've never used them, but they are well reviewed.

The input device is almost secondary to the software. Photoshop is great, and can do anything, but that's almost its problem. It does so much more then you're going to need and it's expensive. I switched to MangaStudio last year and I can't imagine going back. It is specifically made for comic artists and does a spectacular job of it for 1/10th the price (it's often on sale on Amazon for about $125 for the full version, $25 for the rather extensive 'debut' version, but go for the full version, the few extra features it offers are gigantic time savers). The best thing about drawing digitally is it removes the fear of not getting a line perfect. No need to get it right the first time when there's UNDO, it's been a life saver. The publisher, Smith Micro also ust released a public beta for their new Motion Artist software that simplifies animation and HTML5 coding. Together they make a pretty excellent package.

Cintiqs are great, but the $2500 price tag is a pretty huge hurdle to overcome. If you're used to using a tablet, my advice would be to consider just upgrading. No need to go breaking the bank on such an extravagance when you can similar results for 1/5th the cost.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I used this brush pen.

u/diversionmary · 1 pointr/IDAP

That's a brush pen. If you'd like to check them out, I'd recommend a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen or try this sampler pack.

Copic multiliner pens are designed for use with Copic Markers, so you can give them a try.

I like to use Pentel pens, and find that the Pentel brush pens (not the water based ink ones, I haven't tested them) work well with Copic markers after you let the ink dry a bit. Here's an example on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.ca/Pentel-Pocket-Brush-Refills-GFKP3BPA/dp/B002LJRKN8

And here is an example of what I colored with it to demonstrate that it holds up (if you'll forgive a little boasting):

https://www.instagram.com/p/BvD_As4hy1L/


The Pentel Hybrid Technica holds up with minimal smearing as well if you like gel pens (here's a pack of 12, though you can get them for $3-4 each at an art store):

If you are looking for ink you can dip into with a nib, I am not sure what works. I used india ink and learned the hard way that does not hold up to copic markers well at all.

Oh sorry I meant the pentel brush pen, I thought it would be easy to know by the name, anyways This One

I'm adding the link to the main post.
Sorry again.

u/kolkolkokiri · 1 pointr/ArtistLounge

I like the Pental water brush here's a tutorial since they are pointed you can do fairly thin and thick lines, I would say fine sharpie sized. Ultra Fine will take a steady hand.

I would definitely also consider a few brushes and India ink, as it won't fray as much. There is also the less adjustable Brush Pen which will smoothly go over paint, but is less adjustable and only comes in black.

u/Error400BadRequest · 1 pointr/gifs

It is a very nice sub, and fountain pens are really cool. Lots of nib and ink options. But this gif does not appear to be of a fountain pen, but rather a Brush Pen.

u/_teadog · 1 pointr/ArtistLounge

I don't have that original and don't remember exactly, but I think it was 5.5" x 8". This is the Pentel pen I have.
