Sakura Pigma Micron 08 - Pigment Fineliners 0.5mm Black [Pack of 3]

Amazing! It is waterproof but if ur goona use it with ohuhu alcahol markers, it tends to spread the ink around. Its ink is smooth. They give you 3 pens in this amount. (I didnt know that before ordering) i would only use for fineling not writing.

It's runny, have to overdraw to darken it....was using it on Tanjore painting gold foil....

I buy a set of ten of different sizes,and find that I use the 08 most often. Happy that I can buy one or more without having to buy a full set to get to the 08. Great pen for artists.

I draw a lot of pictures. These pens don't bleed through the paper and they also don't smear.

smooth flow, doesn't bleed, thicker tip I like.

I recently got a couple of ink tracing books and discovered that Sakura Pigma Micron pens work incredibly well with them. I find myself constantly reaching for this 08 pen because it gives great coverage in just a single pass. The archival ink doesn't fade, dries quickly, and the black color compliments the artwork beautifully. I don't have any background in art, but using this pen to trace the white lines makes the final image look incredibly professional and honestly makes me feel like an artist! It's such an easy and relaxing hobby. As you can see in my uploaded photo, I used it on the butterfly image from the Robots and Hybrid Creatures book. For this specific page, I actually alternated between the 08 for bolder lines and the 05 for smaller details. If you are getting hooked on ink tracing like I am, I highly recommend picking these up!

Micron 08 is supposed to be a .5mm nib size. It's not, more like a 1mm. See comparison with Pilot V5 0.5. Good enough pens, just don't buy if you need a 0.5mm nib.
