Faber-Castell Pitt Artists Shades of Blue Pen Brush (Wallet of 6)

Faber-Castell. Say no more, excellance guaranteed. Perfect precision.

I'm a big fan of these PITT pen sets. I always have my black set on hand, and I snap up these different coloured sets when ever I see them. The ink lays down dense and smooth, no messing around, and these give a nice variation in line weight with pressure (more variation than you get from Micron pens). This is 'Sanguine' colour. It's a bit less red than I was expecting, and I'd probably just think of it as a sepia. It looks great for line art, giving a soft and sophisticated look in comparison to a plain black drawing. It is rich enough to look like something a bit different, but it is still neutral enough not to jump out as a 'coloured ink'.

These are obviously made by people who know their pens. They're wide enough to be easy to hold, even with RSI pain, but not so big as to be cumbersome. I'm no expert, but the lines drawn with them seem smooth, black and even. There's a nice range of line widths included, and the ink seems to dry very quickly, meaning no smudging against rulers, hands or blotting on paper.

Very nice pens and just what my wife was after for illustration work. These pens are very fine and offer a great deal of versatility due to the varying tip sizes.A great set to start off with.

You can’t go wrong with these. So versatile. Great quality ink and nibs. Quick dry. Super easy to use but I wouldn’t give them to young kids because the walls are just too tempting.

I paint with watercolours but I also like to add pen outline & sketch accents; the best bit about these pens for me was the lovely surprises I was getting when adding water to my pen lines on my primed canvas boards, it just bleeds in beautifully and adds extra dimensions. You definately get what you pay for and these are well worth it. Love them absolutely :).

I have begun using pens such as these to supplement my paints in my wargaming figures and models painting. They are excellent for this. They produce a sharp line and are value for money. So far I have only used the black and dark sepia pens but I look forward to experimenting with further colours.

Theze pens are great, thank you, I usecthem in different ways and like them very much, very good quality.
