Kuretake Fude Brush Pen, Fudegokochi (LS1-10S), 3 pens per Pack (Japan import) [Komainu-Dou Original Package]

I just love this pen and stock up on it pretty regularly. I am a letterer and illustrator and this is great for both. I have so much control over my work with this pen from thin to thick lines. I can sketch with this pen as well as do proper outline work. It doesn't dry out so quickly, and the brush tip doesn't fray and wear down easily. I find most brush markers have a learning curve ,but this pen was the first pen that I immediately understood and worked with well. I wish it came in other colors, but that's my only complaint!

I adore these pens and will order more. They are mavelous for sketching and while the tip is somewhat firm you can get a nice line variance. The ink is water-based, so keep that in mind when inking larger areas, as it will erode the paper a bit, unlike an alcohol-based pen, buut that's just the nature of the beast. :D Would be nice for some types of calligraphy. If you're learning Japanese this will make your kana practice look much nicer than a regular pen.

Solid brush that doesn't warp and snaps back to original shape. I have purchased many brush pens in my career and this is one of the better ones. Not the very best but for the price it's a great deal

These make excellent pen's to have on backup or for general use. I would like to recommend them for any hobbist or writer or artist. They do however run out within 35 pages 14 inch by 11 inch; under regular sketch conditions.

I love these! They are wonderful for drawing - drawing trees, city streets, ocean waves, etc etc and they are good for lettering. i was interested in Chinese art much of which is black and white and had fun copying old masters. Fun!
