This is my go to pen for drawing and sketching as it has a good ink flow such as
found in fountain pens. Ever since I discovered this pen (which off course has
waterproof ink - a must) I have stopped using my fountain pens. Other fiber pens
such as Micron are few steps below Rotring in quality. Second best is Faber
Castell Pitt drawing pens which use archival waterproof India or China ink.
I also use Mitsubishi Pin pens for sketching and writing but it is not as good
as the two mentioned. Very good but it maybe better for some as it can also be
used for writing due to low ink flow which may not go through poor paper. With
good nice paper such as Rhodia and Clairefontain any pen, juicy or not can be
used.
It would be nice if JetPens had a deal where if buying larger quantity of pens
would reduced the individual price of the pen.
To add, pens with nice ink flow such as this one and fountain pens are not good
for using on cheap paper found in most regular stores as likely feathering would
be an issue. You should use Rhodia or Clairefontaine or similar quality paper.

This review is from Rotring Tikky Graphic Drawing Pen - Pigment Ink - 0.3 mm - Black Ink
A superior product. I use the .1,.3,.5,.8 for comic book pages. The .3 gets used
about %80 of the time.
The tips are hard and durable but have some give when pushed hard. They never
wear down or change shape. The .1 and .3 have great bounce and spring. Like
other felt tip pens, the larger ones are stiffer.
The ink is very dark and never fades or comes up when I erase over it. I draw
with hb lead on Strathmore 400 regular board and erase with a Rotring Tikky
eraser. The ink flows out of these pens unimpeded. They are much Juicier then
similar brands. That works great for me since I draw on a rougher board.
Without a doubt, though the best feature is the ink delivery system, I used
these to replace Sakura Micron pens (also very good) and I went from drawing
about 3 pages with the 5 micron, to 10-11pages plus several illustrations with
the .3 Tikky before the ink started drying up. You really can use the pen until
almost the last drop. I never noticed it gradually getting drier. It stayed
basically the same until it suddenly dried up and stopped one day. You can even
view the ink in the pen and see when it will run out. They are really big too,
which may be bad for some, but it holds more ink that way.
The negative is the price, but for me it is worth it to eliminate the slowly
drying up aspect of drawing with disposable pens. I have bought them in bulk
from Rotring which cuts the price down per pen to something similar to the other
brands, but it is great to be able to buy individual ones from Jet pens when I
need them.

This review is from Rotring Tikky Graphic Drawing Pen - Pigment Ink - 0.2 mm - Black Ink
I bought this pen based on a recommendation from a friend. All I can say is
WOW! I use it in my sketchbook. The ink flows nicely on the paper (75 LB/110
GSM). I believe I have found my new favorite pen. (FYI, I haven't tried on
Moleskine paper, yet.) Now that I have tried the 0.2 mm, I plan on getting a
few other line widths. I just wish it came in other ink colors.

This review is from Rotring Tikky Graphic Drawing Pen - Pigment Ink - 0.8 mm - Black Ink
This is my absolute favorite pen for inking drawings! going over pencil or
colored pencil is not a problem and the nib wont clog up like Microns,Copic
Multiliner and similar pens. The ink flows fast and is very solid and opaque
however it dries a little slower so you need to be cautious not to smudge.
