Reddit reviews Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen, 3 Types Assorted (Medium,Fine,Extra Fine) Black, Original 5 Colors Sticky Notes

Kuretake makes a similar set to Tombow, with one soft tip and one hard tip. Pentel also has their Fude Touch Sign Pens in a smaller and larger size compared to the colored pack, where the smaller sized pen tip is comparable to the Fudenosuke hard tip.

Unsolicited review since I've tried all three: Idk if this is just me, but that Fude hard tip pen spits out ink like no other. I think it's less of a problem if you're pressing down on the tip all the way for your down strokes, but I like using the hard tip for a thinner effect all over. I only use about 50% pressure on downstrokes, but even if I graze the pen on the paper for upstrokes, I get a bigger glob of ink than I would like. The Kuretakes seem to do this too, but the Pentel is better at releasing ink at a more moderate rate. The downside of the Pentels is that the tip doesn't seem as hardy as the Fudes.

不客气！Someone down thread mentioned pens. You'll want to get yourself some decent pens, it really helps with the angles and brush strokes.

Again, there's plenty out there but here's what I was recommended and currently use:

Yeah, I drew it. I was using a Prismacolor Premier brush tip marker in size B. I got it in a set with a few different colors but I honestly don’t really use them that much. It’s a fine marker but there are definitely some better options out there. Lately I’ve been using the Pentel Fude Sign Pens more than the Prismacolor but they both get the job done.
