Customer Reviews
Good for writing Kanji!
This works ok for me as I do pretty expressive drawing with Noodler's Lexington grey in the pen. The brush does not come to a point very well and puts out a lot of ink. Fortunately the pen also can hold a lot of ink. I can see how this might not be too great for many people. Does not seem like a particularly useful take of a brush pen, though for drawing I can find uses for it.
I was disappointed in this. It feels very cheap, but wasn't $23. The brush is split, and looses hairs every time I touch it. A water brush for $5 is a better product. I could not form a tip on this due to the split and it is very wide. Plastic is not good quality. I will try to return it.
I have 2 minor cons with this pen. The brush itself holds A LOT of ink, i've had to wipe the brush on a napkin before using it on my sketchbook because the paper I use can't handle the amount of ink this pen uses, so if you get this pen, keep that in mind. The other thing is that the pen can close extremely tight, and become REALLY hard to untwist. For a moment I thought I had to get a new pen because I couldn't open it, but thankfully I managed to get it open. Other than those issues I really enjoy using this pen, the brush tip is really nice(note: it's not the most precise tip for line art, the brush tip is kinda big). Lastly(this isn't part of the review), the brush has a smell, idk if it's just mine in particular, but it does have a smell.
Ok. I am using it for background filling as for now.
