Video Description
In this video, I’m sharing my top 5 favourite pens that I love to use for sketching and drawing. From the ever-reliable fine liners to the quirky, expressive dip pens, I go through each pen's features, the variations in line quality, and why I love them for different styles of drawing. Whether you're into precise line work or want to explore more expressive, flexible options, this video is perfect for you!

Pens discussed in the video: Fine Liners – A versatile tool for clean, controlled sketches. Available in different colours and thicknesses, these pens are a must-have in every artist’s toolkit. Fountain Pen (Lamy) – Perfect for creating more dynamic and expressive lines. I discuss how the fountain pen can add personality to your sketches with its line variation. Flex Nib Fountain Pen – A vintage pen that provides impressive line variation, allowing for both subtle and bold strokes. Watch as I demonstrate how it can be used for old-style calligraphy and sketching. Dip Pen – A more chaotic, yet incredibly fun tool for creating expressive and dynamic lines. If you like a bit of unpredictability in your art, this is the pen for you! Pilot Parallel Pen – A unique customization I made to the Pilot Parallel Pen. This tool allows for a lot of flexibility in line thickness and creates some interesting, irregular effects. I also dive into the differences between each pen, share tips on how to use them effectively, and talk about the joys of experimenting with different tools as part of your creative process. Make sure to leave a comment below with your favourite pens or any questions you have about the ones I use. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more art and drawing content!
