Haha, ok was not expecting that together but, I think I would love to see how this combo clashes! Love the colors and how you two matched each other a bit in style/feel.🎉
Beautiful bird🙂 Love all of the colors and showing process of going from watercolor to color pencil. Wonder what type and brand of materials you used? Thank you for this clip😊
Nice song to match with the animation... Seriously David, how on earth do you make such detailed creatures...? I'm always fascinated to SEE you make the work. Good work sir.🎉🎉. Also... Who has 1.07K subs??😅
I am a simple person, I see a tiger, I click [Tigers are my favorite animals, you guys are so good at drawing! The drawing looks awesome!!!!] Epic lightning
Although I have a collection of brush pens, I mostly gravitate towards the Uni-Pin brush. It's very reliable in what it does. When I need to go finer, I prefer using fountain pens since I like the directional nature of those nibs. I have also been enjoying Pentel's Tradio Stylo (aka the Pulaman, same tip in different bodies) since the plastic tip gives it some flex, but in a different way from rubber or bristles.
Thanks Christopher! There’s a lot you can do just by changing the angle of the pen. You might have noticed I used the edge of the nib for the finer lines. It also makes a difference whether you ‘push’ or ‘pull’ a line to draw it. Time to get out your pens and paper again?
Good question! It’s an uncoated 200gsm white paper, from my local office supply store. It works great for pens and markers, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for pencil or wet media. 😃
@@studiobrushpen That makes sense why I had trouble finding this online. If I were to look it up again, what’s the name to the brand of paper you are using?
If you go to Stan Sakais official website, then you will find a really well-done video of him going thru his whole process, filming him as he takes a page from sketches to inks, through lettering and colouring. Its a really great resource. From said video, i discovered Stan inks with a fountain pen.
You started drawing with a handguard under you? It always ended up smudging my ink anyways but it also depends on the ink. Non archival ink Smudged more for me or didn't dry fast enough, the same for you? That mech is looking fresh and when I can get my hands on the book, I may buy issue one myself. Lovely looking illustration sir!🎉
Yeah, with such a clean and technical style for this one I wanted to be really sure I didn’t smudge the ink or the pencils underneath. The pens were fine! They dried fast enough for me. Thanks Christopher! 😃
Back when I started getting interested in brush pens, the only types available in the UK seem to be the broad ones, like the Copic one in your video. ( in the end I had to resort to ordering some fine ones from the USA! ) 10+ years later, things seem to be much better and I see that many of the big players, such as Faber Castell and Uni adding a fine “ fude brush” to their range of fineliners. Not sure which one I would recommend to try, as they all seem fine in their own way, but I will say that for me the Kuretake Fudegokochi is a hard act to follow!
That’s a really interesting point. Pen manufacturers seem to be making more brush pens these days as they become more common outside Asia. I certainly see more in stores now than I did a decade ago. Just office supply stores too, not even art shops. Of course, there’s a reason I stick with the Japanese brands. Tried and true, and have an obvious head start! I agree with you on the Kuretake- every other brush pen I use is measured against that.
Kuretake is on of my favs, but the micron, as famous as it is, it has never treated me well. For heavy handedness, the top nib breaks way too easily when you are into your inking or drawing.
Oh yeah, I never mentioned that! I’ve definitely had that experience with the Pigma/Microns. I guess you either learn a lighter touch, or choose something else. Of course the other way would be to draw scratchy-looking stuff with those messed-up tips! 😅 Thanks for sharing, Chris!
@@studiobrushpen I have for years because I didn't realize you could break a pen like I did. My early pen work was disgusting and I hated inking. Had someone told me that sooner, I might have transitioned into Inking sooner, but... You live and learn.
I recently started using the Uni Emott, it's not a pen suitable for drawing, so the ink isn't as dark, but it's very soft and glides well on the paper. It's waterproof and marker-proof, so it's good for making illustrations. I really like the brush tips, but I think they don't work very well for my style. so I use technical pens, Pentel, Staedtler, Sakura etc. and some marker with a large tip to make the large areas black. Congratulations for the channel, I discovered it a few weeks ago, I really liked your art. I hope one day I can do something together like in the videos you posted drawing with other people. :)
Oh yeah, brush pens aren’t for everyone. Technical pens are at the other end of the spectrum. They’re great if your art style uses more hard edges and straight lines. Or if you just like a more clean look. Thanks for joining us! 😃
Awesome video! My favorite is the- Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen. It comes in a "Hard" and "Soft" tip. I usually use the hard for lettering, backgrounds and straight hatching. The soft I use for characters and more organic linework, its fantastic.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy using the Tombow twin tip. Personally, the hard tip never really did it for me. But if it works for you, let’s add it to the list of recommendations for everyone!
I never really used such kinds of pens for drawing - I preferred a classic ballpen which I also use for writing stuff down. Maybe because in school it was the tool I just had in my hand while I was bored by the lessons. This, or pencils. Power Tanks by uni ball are pretty cool and what I like to use these days. So it's from one of the brands you've mentioned as well.
Nothing wrong with a ballpen! Sometimes the drawing tool you have in your hand is the right one. Stuff I used at school definitely influenced later life!
I have just gotten into drawing/sketching recently, and i tried the micron beige pens at the nearest arts/crafts store. I found that the smaller, thinner body was not that comfortable after a couple of minutes so i went with a brand called "artists lofts" - also japanese made, just seems to be like the micron pens in a wider, thicker package that made it much more comfortable in my hand. Great video and great advice! thanks
If you enjoy "cartoon realism" as you called it (which I do to), I can wholeheartedly recommend the Bone comic series. I'm sure you know it already, but thought I would mention it just in case.
