Hey Siya. I've been using Platinum Carbon ink with the no.13 brush pen. It flows great without needing thinning and you can also use their cartridges for conventions. Love your Lola xoxo artwork and watercolors 👌. Greetings from London.
Fantastic Siya!! Your art is lovely!! I thought this flexible template for circles was really cool. I had never seen anything like it other than French curves and squares.
Thank you for taking precious time to make this informative video. Very useful for those who have no idea of what Brush Pens & Ink would be ideal to begin their Comic Journey with. 💯💯💯💯
Interesting. Your art style rivals Jim Lee and David Finchs'. I wonder why there isn't more subscribers. Otherwise superb drawing. I can only dream of being this skilled. I look forward to seeing you progress in near future.
I enjoy my Pentel pocket brush pen, had it for years. I think it's a great option if you want to have it on you for some sketching and practicing with a brush pen. If I were to do professional work like you I would probably prefer one of the higher quality brush pens with the option to fill the ink yourself. :) Anyway, just stumbled across your youtube page, really dig the art. I'll go check you out on IG as well. Cheers.
at 4:39 the black star looks to have a kind of weird off color sheen to it? On the scanned paper tests though it looks like one of the darkest. Which of your tests is the absolute blackest besides the pentel arts brush. I'm going to actually be using a dip pen as well so the brush flow isn't too much of a concern. Great video!
awesome video, not many people care about brush pens as much as they do for fountain pens and I think they are much much cooler. Lucky us though, as the most expensive ones don’t go over 40 usd, unlike the multi hundred or thousand fountain pens do. I mostly use brush pens to practice japanese kanji, but I’ve always been a fineliner sketcher, so I’m digging the sumi-e look that drawing with brush pens has. I’ve been wanting to try the Iroshizuku inks because they are so pretty but I don’t have any converters yet. I got a nice Kuretake no. 40 or no.50, the one with the sable hair tip? And I really don’t want to ruin it, but I do have a cheap no.13 that I think I can still use with the platinum converter to try other inks. I got like 15 refills cartridges on amazon for cheap so I’m more or less stuck with kuretake for a while now. I did like the pentel pocket brush one better, but mostly because the no.13 is too long to fit most pencil cases, haha. But in general the pentel ink is more expensive, although the cartridge lasts much longer. I’m on my third kuretake refill since I started with this world back in march compared to the second one on the pocket brush (and the first one still on the black color brush but those have infinite ink already). I’m thinking since kuretake sells replacement tips both for nylon and sable, I could just get some extra tips and converters, and swap those instead of buying entire new pens. I think the tips come with transparent plastic caps so they shouldn’t dry too much?
I need to do an updated review on brush pens, and just pens in general, there are so many use cases that vary and are interesting. Thank you for your feedback!
Have you used Tombow's disposable brush pens at all? I love using them but I want something that's refillable. I have the same sable hair Platinum-compatible brush pens that you used in the video but I'm looking for something for business writing (i.e., something that doesn't look like an art supply and where I can write at full speed). The Tombow Fudenosuke Hard is so much fun but I'd like something classier and have the ability to use different colors. Love your art, btw. I'm a huge fan of the style. I'd love to see what you could do with a noir look/white ink on black paper. Inspector Elmer von Plumpsen, first of his name, Bane of Chipmunks approves of the subject material and thanks you for creating what he deems to be a very important public service announcement.
I have used the disposable ones, but at some point the cost to buy a whole new pen doesnt make as much sense to me, because I ink so much. I'm happy with the refillables, although, if the paper doesn't absorb it fast enough, I accidentally smear it, hahah.
Here you go dear. :) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006IK3L2/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=siyaoum-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0006IK3L2&linkId=4e50040c1eaa091c975624b75d52fc28
Thanks for the video! Do you also add a drop of water to the Dr. Martin's in the pen (converter)? I have that Kuretake sable (which I love) but I was always worried about using india inks in it.
Hi, ma'am can I please ask what would be the best safe and cheap ink to buy for the pentel pocket brush pen? It's kinda ok if it's not waterproof because I mainly doing flat ink drawing like all just inks I don't color them
I think the best ink, hands down, would be the actual ink that goes with the Pentel Pocket Brush. Here's the jetpens.com link: www.jetpens.com/Pentel-Pocket-Brush-Pen-Refill-Cartridges-Black-Pack-of-4/pd/1771 It's a little less than a dollar per cartridge, and I've inked whole comic books with less than two cartridges. If I'm doing large areas of black ink, I just use a brush to speed up the process.
ma'am is their a bottled inks that can be used for the long run for brush pens and pens(copic multiliner) that can be recommended for an affordable price and safe to use? I am so sorry for this leading question I am very cautious on the ink for I don't want to ruin the pens
@@freztok4728 for the Pentel Pocket Brush, I am not aware of any actual way to put other inks in, aside from modifying the converter/cartridge. I believe a few people have made videos on youtube.
Its there a purpose of why your camera is not capturing u work from the top? The angle of the camera makes the art kind of fuzzy, its intentional? Love the vids though!
Noodler's ink need a HUGE disclaimer attached to them. The brand has a way of dividing ink-loving communities because of inconsistencies in the inks' formulae. Noodler's is a one-man playground. Nathan doesn't have the resources to make large batches and he doesn't adhere to strict recipes. My bottle of Heart of Darkness works well for me (in fountain pens) but I've had several bottles of Noodler's brand products that don't match the appearance or behavior that others have sworn by. But HoD is, as OP said, a safe choice for brush pens. Just don't expect it to look or function as others might describe. Also, while it is considered waterproof by legal standards (criminals can't wash it away in an effort to commit fraud), it is not considered waterproof by artists. Some of the black tends to wash away, which can irk some artists who want pristine, crisp lines. Your mileage will vary. Another option is the water-based Platinum Carbon Black. This is a micro pigment, fountain-pen-friendly deep, rich, and waterpoof black. There is no shellac that will muck up brushes. The downsides to it is the cost, the cleaning maintenance, and that it can leave a mirror-like finish sometimes. It's not a glossy finish, per se, but more of a black sheen that can catch the light and take on the light's qualities.
Heart of darkness is not waterproof. Most of the pigment stays in place when you add a watercolor wash, but some of that color comes off. Not even the Eternal inks are fully waterproof.
Not a fan of the small Pentel ink brushes either. I do like the Pentel Fude version. I love Sumi ink, but never tried the EON ink, I love their board though.
