One of our young artists couldn’t resist making her own sampler of sorts!
A skilled hand could make good use of the flexibility, but it caused me to experience some jaggedness on lines when creating rounded forms.
The ink flowed quickly and had the greatest variability in opacity, tending alternately toward thinning and pooling. This brush pen operated much more like a brush than a marker. The intact pen with a red collar sealing the ink chamber. The brush requires unsealing of the ink repository and priming prior to first use. Side note – I love the picture on the package – they obviously photoshopped ink onto the tip of the pen, because the entire brush blackens upon use. Pentel Color Brush ($8.39 on card, $6.99 on Amazon): This brush has a well in the stem – the ink is very fluid and feed more aggressively than the brush pens. The metallic ink pools unevenly, creating a slight, marker-like gradient effect. The tip is relatively firm, so the pen feels a bit like a marker when writing, but it flows more readily and has less drag. Zig Fudebiyori Metallic Brush Pen ($2.48): A brush head pen pre-loaded with archival quality metallic ink. The tapered tip allows for strokes of varying thickness, either consistently through your work or directionally, like a calligraphy pen, depending on your grip. The tip has a bit of flex and dispenses the ink readily. This is really handy for those wanting a light brush effect – great for multi-color projects, too, since you can jump from color to color simply capping your marker and not dealign with rinsing brushes.

The ink dried quickly, and the low viscosity allowed me to achieve a thinner coat with a light, quick stroke, lowering the opacity a bit.Įcoline Brush Pen ($3.95): An upgrade on you standard marker, this pen is preloaded with high-quality Ecoline ink. The magenta is deep and beautiful – it is almost identical to beet juice, maybe a smidgen more pink.
