I love how small the point is! The only downside was that the ink ran out after a couple drawings for me.

I have both the green (55 degree bended nib) and the blue (40 degree) versions of this pen and really enjoy them both. I use the Sailor nano black waterproof ink and it works well. With a tilt of the pen, the line can go to very fine to broad and back, so very good for drawing, like carrying two pens at once except even more convenient since you don't have to keep switching them. The large cartridge chamber actually holds TWO cartridges, one in use and a spare, so the pen is extra-good for traveling. In my experience, the pens start right up even after sitting for a couple of weeks, so nib dry-out isn't an issue as it is with so many pens.

I like both the green (55 degree) and the blue (40 degree) versions of this pen, but I lean slightly to using the blue more often. I've read comments by other artists who lean the other way, toward the green one. You would need to try both and see for yourself.

In any case, if you like to sketch on the go, grab one of these and some nano black cartridges (or your own preference) and a good journal (like Stillman and Birn zeta or beta seeries) and have yourself some fun. If you use a waterproof ink like the nano black, you can add watercolors later.

These are decent erasers. They erase well, but not the best. They produce a lot of debri and wear down a little bit fast. They are good for the top of Kuru Toga mechanical pencils, but not my first choice for erasing.

This and the 1.0mm are the best drawing markers in the world. Super smooth, no bleed through and no fraying....and the best part - no odor. Yes they are permanent, but they're oderless, long lasting, and make a very bold mark. Highly Recommended
