Collection: Drawing Pens

Waterproof is the specification that separates a drawing pen from an ordinary fineliner. Ink that runs under a wash forces the colour to be laid first and the line to be added over the top, which is the harder way round to work.

What You'll Find in This Collection

Six piece micro fineliner pen sets carry a graduated range of nib widths in waterproof black ink. The finest nibs handle stippling, cross-hatching and technical detail; the wider nibs carry outlines and borders that hold the drawing together at a distance. Because the ink is waterproof once dry, the same line work takes watercolour, alcohol marker or ink wash over the top without smearing, which is how most illustration, urban sketching and comic work is actually built. The set also covers hand lettering and bullet journaling.

Who Is This For?

This collection suits illustrators and urban sketchers, comic and manga artists, architecture and design students drawing by hand, and journallers doing line work. Art schools across Australia list fineliner sets on first year kits.
