I just bought the cheaper version of the Kuretake brush pen #8. I will want to upgrade to the premium version like yours later on. I wonder how long will the bristles last? Can I replenish the ink with the fountain pen ink?
@@mattheathart The pen I used is Kuretake No. 8 Fountain Brush Pen (DP150-8B) I bought it from Amazon last month for $7.99 including 2 cartridges but today it's $12.99! I heard the brush tip and cartridge are the same, just the body & cap.
Hello all! Has anyone tried to refill the cartridge with ink rather than buy a new one? Did it work? What type of ink did you use? I’m thinking of buying the Copic Multiliner SP and then when the cartridge dries out, refill it with pigmented technical pen ink.
I’m actually looking for a video about the cool grey 003 multiliner. You showed it, but I’d love to know what color it is. There is no shop nearby to visit and try it out. But I can’t find a video about it anywhere, unfortunately. Can you show it please? Much thanks!
Amazing brushes, the only thing I don't get is why are you advertising them as free if they are not? I don't even mind those 4 dollars just the whole pain of registering, running downstairs to grab the card, filling in, authenticating...and also just why don't you simply say they are paid? Dat all :)
Great demonstration! Nice to see a review including art work made with the pens especially for these more niche pens (which I struggled to find many reviews for in general haha)
I have had the SP's for three years now. Total trash, reason being the refills suck and are designed to be a money pit. I have begun doing physical research to see what ink will work to refill the marker chambers instead of throwing hard earned cash at Copic. Sorry about the salty sounding comment but when you are burning through simple black line work and refilling these markers like changing underwear people need to know. Too many artists promote this garbage. The nibs too are another joke, it you look closely and then under a microscope they look like fishing line. This poor construction has me going back to my koh i noor and mu rotrings at least those last awhile before refilling them. And the tips are metal not fishing line!
Nice comment and it's always good to hear different opinions. It would be nice to know what ink you could refill them with too. I have used the same SPs on a couple hundred drawings without refilling them so I'd assume we use different paper which absorbs ink in different ways. I haven't looked at the nibs under a microscope but do really love the way the ink flows and sits in the paper as opposed to other brands. Again, I have had a hard time wearing the nibs out as well. The Rotring Isographs sound amazing, I'd also love to try those one day. Cheers
@@mattheathart I use Bristol board and the Professional plate smooth surface Bristol paper mostly. I can get maybe six to eight semi big drawings before I start to get issues with ink or the tip. I draw with a light touch because of using rot ring and koh i noor technical pens. Funny I got this comment the same time I just got new tips and ink again LOL. I use the .03 and the point 0.05 pens a lot because of the detail work I like in my drawings so those two to three smaller sizes go all the time vs the big diameter SP markers. I do love one thing, the waterproof feature they offer. As for the ink I am going to try and refill a cartridge with the Faber Castell carbon ink because it doesn't seem as viscous as using india ink which I plan to try both on two of the old refills I got and see if this is feasible to renew them and stop the purchasing refill madness. I will let you know how the testing goes.
@@EvilMP5 I'd like to learn how you refill the cartridge. I love the Rotring Isograph but sometimes need something with a felt tip when I work with watercolor paper, which is not great to use with a metal tip. I bought one of these in the hopes that i could be eco, but the replacing the plastic cartridge each time seems only nominally better.
#13 is my favorite art implement of all time! I still remember the first time I used it. It felt like magic, the way the line thickness seemed to read my mind. It's not really fair to compare the brand new nylon tip to an older sable brush tip. (Maybe your #40 pen was old, but the tip was new? I don't know.) The synthetic tip wears out fairly quickly, and while it's still wonderful, it loses the ability to make hair-width fine lines. (Replacement tips are not too expensive though.) Thanks for the video!
Thanks Michael, great to hear your thoughts on these awesome brush pens. They really are all very beautiful and have special uses for me so it's truly hard for me to choose a fave. Nice one and thanks again.
Awesome work man. Just started following on Instagram. By the way, can you say that the slate is a great sketchbook even for realism graphite drawing also? Good for shading? I’m on the hunt for a good pocket size on the go sketch book mainly for pencil use. And possibly sometimes color pencils (maybe) lol
Awesome, thank you so much. I do think the slate is a great sketchbook. I probably prefer heavier paper but it is very nice to draw on. Good for realistic I would say :)
Ah thanks so much. I had to pull this tutorial down but can't remember why. I'll delete this vid. Thanks again for leting me know and thanks for the love! Matt H
Love your work!!! Thank you for the review. I've been trying and testing the brush pens for the past month ... still haven't found what I like though lol
Ah, I have the Bimoji in Super Fine (which I like) so it would be different to your brush tip. Yeah, check out the Cambio, I'm enjoying them very much. Cheers!
I really like your Instagram profile and when I saw you also do videos well I couldn't wait to see it 😅😁 Cool video and subscription for you👌 Have a nice day !
