Thanks for posting this video. It is a great demonstration of the versatility of the pen/nib. I'm assuming you are using a type A nib. What size(s) do you feel are most useful?
It's my pleasure that you found it useful. As for the nibs, it really depends on what kind of lines you need."S" nibs produce tapered lins, similar to which a dip pen produces. "A" nibs produce more solid lines. These two are suitable for drawing. If you're a calligrapher, definitely Z, N & T are your favorite choices, and for lettering in, for example, comics, O nibs are natural choices. M & R nibs are my least favorites, and I prefer technical pens instead. I hope it was useful, but definitely, there will be a second video in which I will elaborate even further about this fascinating pen. GOOD LUCK BUDDY 👍
@@sinashishehgarha3023 Currently I use dip pens. I'm thinking that I will try to obtain A nibs in sizes 0.4 and 0.8 +/-, as well as S -B and HB to see which I like the best. My thinking is that having an ink reservoir will simplify the process for casual sketching, while allowing the use of waterproof ink. While I have some technical pens, I find the precise line size is constraining/not as versatile. Am I on the right track?
Well, commenting on such a vast subject in some short sentences is not an easy task. But let me tell you my own experience: when a fine line is needed, nothing can match a 0.1 or 0.2 technical pen, although I suggest 0.2 over the other because it's less vulnerable. When it comes to versatility, price, and ease of use, nothing can beat a dip pen. They are quite easy to use and carry around - and if you are into them, I really suggest watching the video I recently put on. And as for the Graphos, it's really a cross between a dip pen and a fountainpen, an inner ink reservoir, a variety of nibs, and relatively simple mechanisms will significantly enhance your ability in drawing. So it was my decision, I would always have a 0.2 technical pen in my pen case, a Graphos with some A and S nibs, and a dip pen with some of my favorite nibs and above all a Graphos ink bottle filled with black India ink. Definitely, the Graphos won't completely do the job of dip pens, but it is a totally different experience, especially the A nibs because there is no other nib like them in any other medium. Good luck, friend, and bear in mind, "listen others options but have your own read," and unless you are not intimidated of experiencing new things and not copying others ideas you're on the right track 🥰
@@sinashishehgarha3023 Thank-you for sharing both your knowledge and wisdom! I will watch the video. It sounds as though the Graphos is another "arrow in the quiver", suitable to supplement the dip and technical pens. I look forward to trying the A type nibs. I really appreciate your generosity in sharing and responding , Thank-you very much.
😅 Definitely, it is. Nothing is Comlete, and after all, it's you to decide which one to be used where. I really appreciate your compliment 😌 and it is my honor to interact with other artists like you, my friend. Also, I am looking forward to hearing about your experience of using Graphos. Have fun 😊
