Kuretake Disposable Pocket Brush Pen - Extra Fine

When KC Green did a sketch for me using this pen over three years ago, I asked him what kind of pen it was and where he bought it. He pointed me here, and ever since, it's the only pen I've inked with on a regular basis. I've tried plenty of other disposable brush pens, and while this pen isn't perfect, it's as close as I've found. The one and only weakness is that if you draw too much too quickly, it will get a bit dry and won't leave a clean line. Aside from that, it's a beautiful stiff tip that doesn't require anywhere near as light a touch as most other brands. If you usually use Wacom tablets and want to find a brush pen for when you're not at the computer, this is the pen for you. I never go anywhere without three of these in my pencil case.

Really wonderful to draw with. The tip isn't super sensitive to pressure, so it's easy to get a super thin line, especially for someone with a heavy hand like me. And it's still easy to get a nice line variation when you want. Unlike most brush pens, you can make nice quality fast lines with this. Love it through and through.

For drawing, I find this pen a little too lacking variation (for a brush pen, that is) and a little too dry on long strokes.

But for comic lettering, this is my current go-to pen, with just the right variation for Roman letters.

Very nice =] I love using this for drawings and it's sort of Copic-proof too ("sort of" because.. it smeared on one part, but I'm not sure why since it didn't for the rest of the picture, which had no problems). The only thing that bugs me is that if you draw quick stroke, it feels dry (you can see it on the underline of "Jetpens" in the picture). I love it and would definitely buy more.

The tip was harder than I expected, but it's still very responsive and does do very, very well for laying down ink lines on drawings. The extra fine is very nice and fine with a light hand, and does widen just a bit with pressure. For shading and fine detail line work this is excellent.
