Went by Dick Blick today…

Nov.04, 2007 in Art, doodling

…and spent about $15 on assorted pens, trying to find the best one. I have a bunch of Faber Castel PITT brush pens which are great, but sometimes you need a non-brush pen, and the non-brush variety of the PITTs just don’t feel right on the paper. The clear winner is the Koh-i-noor Nexus pen. I grabbed two of these. One black and one graphite. I doodled this page of crappy doodles with them.

In any case, they feel *really nice* on the paper. They just glide along and are good sketching pens. I highly recommend them. So does this guy, who is the only other person I found blogging about them.
