Why are dip pens popular among artists when we have many modern alternatives? Dip pens are very responsive to pressure and are a fun tool for different line weights, helping you create striking drawings. Have you used dip pens before? What have you learnt that others could benefit from?

I love using dip pens, it helps me draw more loosely, I like to add watercolor afterwards, what paper would you recomend for this. thank you

@drawingwithpri 6 месяцев назад

I would recomend smooth bristol paper or hot press watercolour paper. They both work well with dip pens. :)

What’s the difference between all the nibs?

@drawingwithpri Месяц назад

It really depends on the line thickness and what effects you want to create

@christopherwelch5568 5 месяцев назад

And you get to choose your ink with dip pens. I use Higgins India ink because it’s waterproof and dark. Way better than Speedball

@drawingwithpri 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try it.

Turns out I can use my default grip on dip pens 😂 that’s how I’ve been writing my whole life even with normal pens and pencils

That's perfect then! 🥰

My first dip pen was a really battered old one covered in dried up ink from my grandfather that somehow ended up with my mom’s art supplies and then I “borrowed it” to try it. I gave up pretty quickly when it didn’t work properly😂 then we moved house after a few years and it turned up again while we were unpacking. Thought I’d give it another go but this time, I soaked it in rubbing alcohol for days and cleaned it until it looked brand new! I also bought myself some acrylic ink because my mom’s inks had gone bad. I still use it even now. It’s honestly one of my favourite nibs and definitely my favourite nib holder! The nib has a little bit of flex but is a lot stiffer than the rest of my nibs so it’s great for fine details and shakey hand days where I need to put more pressure to avoid wobbly lines 😂❤️

Thanks for sharing your experience with dips pens! I had a very similar experience. I ruined a vintage dip pen because I had no idea how to use it... Oops. Well, you live and learn.

Dip pen need hard work fountain pen is best

@drawingwithpri 6 месяцев назад

Dip pens are more challenging to work with. For me, I guess that's part of the charm.

@Chris-fh3db 5 месяцев назад

Fountain pen ink is not typically waterproof.

@samasamah 5 месяцев назад

You can try glass dip pens that are less complicated

Hello Pri. I just discovered a dip pen with a set of nibs in my father's collection of items. There are 2 holders and an assortment of nibs. I am going to buy some ink tomorrow and take advantage of this surprise discovery.

@drawingwithpri Месяц назад

This is so exciting! I am a little jealous. ;) You are going to have so much fun. Enjoy!

Thank you for starting the main content of your video immediately. It’s so annoying when instructional videos start with 5 minutes of stuff I don’t need.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hello, I've just got back into using dip pens after years of mainly using digital art. Thank you so much for the very helpful video!

@drawingwithpri 7 месяцев назад

I used to primarly be a digital artist too. Its good to get back to the traditional stuff.

Question for you: I have W&N Indian Ink, does the ink ever get too think or dry out too much, how do you manage this?

@drawingwithpri 7 месяцев назад

I find that if my ink has dried it's probably because I did not screw on the cap properly. Or the cap was full with dried ink and did not close properly - try giving your cap a rise sometimes. Other than that, ink has a shelf life as well, if left unused, it gets thick and gunky.

I don’t draw but I use dip pens when I write. I use a Pilot iro-utsushi dip pen with a medium writing nib. I don’t know why but it’s just hilariously fun to write with a dip pen. 🤣😁
