Pentel POCKET BRUSH BLACK W/2 REFILL

The Pentel Pocket Brush Pen is an outstanding piece of art-making equipment. Up until I received this pen, I mainly stuck with using a standard rolling-ball pen for my ink work (I'm not very traditional and don't use a pen and an ink well very often). After having used this pen for a few days, I can say that I shall not be returning to my original standard much more. This brush pen allows for a large variety of mark making. A variety that can be increased even more by using paper with different textures. The ink flows freely and easily. As of yet, I've had no problems with leakage of any sort, which makes it pretty portable from my point of view. One thing about this package, I should warn, is that the title misled me. With this "Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Pen with Refills, 1 Pen and 2 Refills" you are getting the one pen and two cartridges. There isn't one already in the pen which means you're going to use one of your "refills" immediately. And if you draw a lot, pick up a pack of refills to go along with it. Also, once you install the ink, give the ink a minute or two to flow into the bristles. It won't work right away, so be patient. My inspiration for getting this pen is from viewing the artwork of Yoji Shinkawa (Metal Gear Solid, Zone of the Enders). I really admired the varied strokes, line quality, and the confidence behind them. After having read an interview conducted with him, he highly recommended this pen. Hopefully, in a year or two, the bristles will wear out a bit and my line work will vary even more (I like a crappy brush, makes for some really characteristic line work). -Bottom line- If you're looking for a pen to help you build confidence in your line work (use that white out for highlights ;) ) while giving you a seemingly infinite variety of marks to make, this pen is for you. This is an excellent pen and this reviewer highly recommends it.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen – liegt seit zwei Jahren in meiner Tasche. Für spontane Skizzen unterwegs das perfekte Werkzeug. Die Pinselspitze ist flexibel und liefert Linien von haarfein bis breit. Zwei Ersatzminen dabei. Die Tinte ist tiefschwarz und wasserfest. Für Illustratoren und Sketch-Fans unverzichtbar. Klein genug für die Jacke, gut genug für ernsthafte Arbeit.

Precisione, modulabilità e resistenza del brush ottimi.

Muy bueno , se desliza suave , con práctica, se pueden hacer grandes cosas. Yo dibujo directo, sin boceto ni lápiz. No lo he usado aún para repasar lápiz, entintada. Mi estilo es muy rápido, es decir puede ser más preciso , con más tiempo y práctica( que tampoco tengo tanta,...3, 4 , 5 ejercicios ..no sé exactamente. !)

Couldn't give it anything less than 5star. This product is amazing! Only thing is that it is expensive when bought from India. Another problem that I faced is that once the two cartridges you get with this are over, (which was the case with me within the first week of extensive use) you can't find it anywhere online from India. So I tried to refill the cartridge. First I tried the Rotring Isograph black ink. It almost ended up ruining the tip. Now I'm working with Lamy black ink for fountain pen. Although this ink is extremely black and opaque with fountain pens, I'm not getting the same result with this. The flow is smooth and consistent but the output is not dark enough and of course it's not waterproof. This is not a major problem for me as I treat my illustrations in photoshop and increase the black levels. Now I bought a bottle of Daler-Rowney Kandahar Drawing Ink, and will try it next once this cartridge requires a refill. I'll update this review with the result.
