Copic Comic Drawing Pen with Waterproof Ink - 0.1 mm - Black

Could never get it to work for more than a second at a time. Maybe I got a dud or they're not for left-handers?

Have to admit that it's true that the f02 has better flow BUT for drawing comic or manga it's GREAT because this is meant for the detailed and parts of your drawing that you want to appear light or faded. The purpose of the slow flow in this pen is so we can draw slow in small detailed areas of your drawing. If you wanted faded or light streak lines that do the ink fades appearance then do faster strokes. This pen is great cause you have total control do to the pressure and speed of the streaks. Recommended!

The Copic drawing pen was one of my first Japanese imports. When I recieved this item, I expected a great quality pen. (Considering it's Copic) But to my surprise it was only mediocre at best. Perhaps it was just my pen, but, it always skips when I'm inking a drawing, and that's not exactly a great thig=ng. Also, the ink seems very lightly washed out. Like a few drops of water were added to it. I don't really use it that much, but... it's not exactly the greatest, the ink from a uni-ball disposable pen is far more consistent. Once again though. It could just be my pen. Or it could be all of them that are like this. I would use caution when buying this product. The only reason I would consider using this pen for drawing, is if you use tick-lines ALOT. I mean alot, alot. Good points, is that it's a thin line (if you can get it to write) and it's very light. And if you like a washed out kind of looking ink, this pen would be good for you.

More like 4.5 stars.

Great pen for detailed works. Nice dark ink and flows beautifully.

It does however, smudge a little, but that was stated in the description (which I missed). When you run Copics or other art markers on it, it only darkens around the marked area and smudges if you drag it out. On bristol paper, it doesn't smudge however.

I got my pens fairly quicker than expected. When I opened them i was surprised for them not to be in a box. Then I used them on my homework, I was so glad that I ordered these pens. See I like to have a super fine tip on my pen, and 0.1mm is the smallest tipped pen I have every written with and I love it. I would recommend this pen to any one who likes to write with a super-fine tip.
