About this deal

The RENDR though not for me as a day-to-day paper due to its greyness, would still work well for me on solvent-pen projects where I’m aiming to scan and convert to a digital art work. I would normally use the Bristol board for pre-digital work, but the still-reduced feathering on the RENDR might tempt me to switch over. I always think of Staedtlers as comparable to Pilot Drawing Pens (described above) however this is due to greyness that they both produce in comparison to some of the other disposable pens in the test. Where the Staedtler exceeds the Pilot Drawing Pens is in the nib consistency. Staedtler nibs do not change shape over time like the Pilot Drawing Pens and are reliable in terms of nib size-to-labelling (like the Uni Pins). One thing that I have found with them in direct comparison to the Uni Pins is that the nib sizes as-labelled tend to be wider than the Uni Pins for the same size. Again, this means that the Uni Pin 0.05 is the finest available nib in a disposable drawing pen that I have found.

They feature an ergonomic triangular body, which provides a comfortable grip and reduces muscle strain. Pens also have water-based ink that’s easy to wash off, making them an excellent choice for kids too. The second ink test is Daler Rowney FW Ink. This is an acrylic-based ink and we are using Lemon Yellow. Again, I have I’ve drawn a series of different marks with the fineliners and gone over them with the ink. In this test, the Rotring varied considerably (across several criteria) from paper to paper more than any other pen used. On smoother papers (Strathmore Bristol Board and Stillman & Birn) there was considerable ink run on the water test. In fact, there was some ink run (when used with water) on all papers except the RENDR.Eventually, I went to college and stopped doing art for years. I never got rid of my art supplies because I desperately wanted to do art more and I couldn’t afford new supplies as a broke college kid. Years later, when I started bullet journaling again, I pulled my Microns out of storage. They once again became my steady favorites, even after years without use. Little did I know that these old favorites would be an important part of my journey towards becoming a professional artist. Where to Find Sakura Pigma Micron Pens It has been a great experience looking at all these fineliner pens in such detail. My favourite is still the Uni-Pin Fineliner, but I am a creature of habit. It just seems to be the best value for money, comes in a great range of nib sizes, has a decent colour selection for sketching and the nib is very hard-wearing. The pigment ink is waterproof and relatively smudge proof, but not great for Watercolours.

The colors in this set are also superior quality, with tones ranging from deep, dark colors to vibrant neon hues. Know that these art pens may bleed a little, depending on the surface. I advise testing them on different types of paper before applying them to your final project. Finally, I gathered some general information on the performance and experience of using each pen overall and my own personal preferences based on the kind of work I do. I usually work with a standard pen body and a range of nibs, depending on the effect I want to achieve. As described above, in terms of bleed-through it behaved best with the RENDR paper which is designed for this purpose.Flow – A subjective criteria usually referring to the speed and smoothness of ink delivery. Used most often in relation to consistency of line. Want to go all out? Then Coptic fineliner pens are your answer. Copic products are lavish and expensive but worth every penny if you’re after top-of-the-line art pens and supplies.
