sumi brush pen

Post by Karen »

I've been using a disposable sumi brush pen. Great for gesture drawings. It's not water proof, so mixing with watercolors is tricky. But, for ink wash drawings - great!

I thought about using ink on my sketchcrawl test, but I figured it'd spill everywhere. How do you manage it?

The brush pen is, well, a pen with a brush tip. That eliminates the whole ink jar and brush setup. I'd also recommend the Pigma Micron Brush pen if you like the brush line. Its ink is waterproof. The only thing is that I find the felt brush tip wears easily and is great for feathering inking, but not so good for bold brush lines.
