STAEDTLER Pigment Liner Fineliner Pens, Black, 8 Pack Assorted Tip Sizes (0.05mm - 1.2mm): Waterproof Drawing & Writing Pens for Note Taking, Journaling, Sketching, Manga & Back to School Supplies

Staedtler Pigment Liner Pens are excellent pens and exactly what I expect from a company known for quality art supplies. The ink flow is smooth and consistent, the lines are clean, and they feel very dependable for both sketching and more finished work. What I really appreciate is how controlled they are. They are perfect for fine details, outlines, cross-hatching, studies, technical drawing, and adding crisp accents to mixed-media pieces. The pigment ink gives a strong, professional look without feeling messy or unpredictable. These pens are also very comfortable to use and make it easy to build up texture and value with confident marks. Whether I’m doing loose sketches, finished illustrations, or adding line work over graphite or charcoal-inspired pieces, they perform beautifully. Staedtler continues to prove why they are such a trusted name. These pigment liners are reliable, high-quality, and a must-have for any artist’s pen collection. Highly recommended.

EDIT - I just now ordered my second set of these pens. I only have 3 or 4 left of the original ones I purchased. The reason for the edit?? These were used every single day for months!! I'm literally talking about 4-5 months of consistent, perfect performance from these pens!!! I actually ordered my first set of Sakura Micron pens last week and after only 3 days, one of them already had dried out!! I absolutely love these pens and will only be using them in all of my art from now on!!! Alright, now these were literally just delivered about 20 minutes ago. However, I've been waiting so long to get a chance to try them out, I had to go ahead and test them. First thing I noticed immediately is the outside of the pens have an amazing texture to them and I love it. Very nice. After I swatched every pen, I have to admit that I am so very impressed!! I literally cannot believe how incredibly smooth they feel when you use them!!! I have never experienced any kind of pen that delivers that level of smooth writing ever! No skipping, no dragging - nothing but exceptional performance. The cardboard thing they come in says on the back that they are able to stay out without the cap on for around 12 hours, and that is amazing. Obviously, I seriously doubt that I will ever try that out to see, but still thought I would mention it. I do a lot of zentangle and abstract fineliner art and, believe it or not, I actually tend to use the bolder pens most. So I'm always looking for a great set that includes some of the bolder nibs on them. This set has 4 of those, one of which is the biggest I've seen on these kind of pens - a 1.2mm. Never thought I would say something like this, but I am 100% in love with this set of pens!! Now, obviously since I just got them, I can't speak as to just how long they will last, but I will try to remember to update this a month from now and let you know how they are doing. All in all, I'm so very impressed with these, it's crazy. I've purchased about 7 different brands of fineliner pens on here and while the majority of them perform practically the same, I've only used one brand that has really stood out and I've purchased more than once (Ohuhu). But after these, I have to say, I do believe that these are a lot better than those. Especially when it comes to just how smooth they perform. Definitely recommend them!

I love Staedtler liners and prefer them to the more hobbyist-standard Micron pens or the more scratchy and difficult to control tech-style pens. The ink takes a moment to dry so be careful not to smudge, though I find these smudge less than other pens. The larger sizes do put out a higher volume of ink and therefore take longer to dry. I like to use these with alcohol-based markers for a tidy, graphic look, but they also work quite well with watercolor. I'd advise against trying to use them *over* colored pencil or wax pastels or crayons as the wax in these tools can make it difficult for the ink to stick and it ends up smearing or just not coming out properly. The wax can also clog the tips, so just generally I do not recommend that combination. They don't work super well for going *under* wax tools, either, as the wax-based color tends to obscure the lines. It depends on what look you want though. They are, however, especially with the varied sizes in this pack, great for ink work on its own, provided you take care not to rub your hand over the area you just drew on immediately afterward, and give them a few minutes before running an eraser over them (erasers tend to smear long after your hand does not) if you have a pencil sketch underneath. You can achieve interesting effects by smearing larger areas of ink with your finger intentionally, though your fingers will get quite dirty... one of the only downsides of these, that they tend to leave you with a lot of black on your hands even if you don't smear them at all. The danger of any art is, of course, getting dirty.. or maybe it's a benefit. These are my favorite pens to ink with, and I've never had any package arrive with the pens dried out (unlike other pen brands I could name). You can get them in any decent art store but they are, of course, much cheaper on Amazon, and if you have Prime can be obtained nearly as quickly as a drive to your local Michael's. I will always recommend these to any artist regardless of their level of experience.

Shipped safely and all pens were perfect. I had no dried out ones thankfully which tends to happen a lot when I order on Amazon. I’m a multimedia illustrator, with most of my work being manga and anime related so fineliner pens are obviously a must have. I can’t recommend these pens enough. I used to use microns but I will seriously never go back. The quality of the nib, the ink flow and pigment, and the size range are worlds above most fineliner pens I’ve tried. Not to mention how much more affordable these are. I have accidentally left one open for a day or two and I can say for sure these do not dry out when left open. It worked the same as when I got it.

Was hesitant due to the price compared to multi color packs, but with coloring books I have with extremely tiny spots of black, these pens were perfect! Love the feel and ink flow of these pens and their other markers/pens.

Great ink flow. Drying time is very fast. The fine point s let you express details with no bleeding. The appearance is great and after drying is smudge resistant.

These are fantastic pens. They last a long time and I think the tips actually are sturdier than the Sakuras. But they bleed more than Sakuras do and when you're doing fine work, that's the most important feature, even more the pen tip's durability. Those who can handle a little bleed and want a pigment liner that lasts might love these, but I don't use the .01s and .03s in this brand anymore. Too hard to stay in the lines.

Works well, just not long lasting

Calidad-precio buena, creo que valdría la pena un poco invertir en los satura, pero estos no están mal

I loveeee these pens. I have recently gotten into art and sketching and I bought these and I love them. I love that there are so many different sizes I have mainly been using the two smallest ones for my ink drawings which is the 0.05 and the 0.2 and I’m so proud of myself! I think the drawings have turned out great. They are long lasting too I’ve made a million little sketches since buying these. I’ve had them for about 6 months now and all of them still work and none of them seem like they are drying out at all! I included a picture of a car I made and one of my sketches that I scanned!

Arrived quickly, but one of the markers had exploded in the package. Contacted Amazon and was told to contact the seller directly. I did so, and even though it took longer than expected, they sent me a new set. No one's fault, these things happen, so I didn't take a Star off my rating. The markers themselves draw nice, smooth and deep black lines. Can't beat the cost of this many markers in one set. I will be ordering again.

Staedtler nunca falla. Son increíbles :)!

Los use durante unos dibujos y el pigmento es muy bueno al precio que estaba fue una ganga , sale mucho mejor estos ya que si usan acuarelas o otro medio acuoso para usarlos esta es una buena opción y no se corre ni nada la tinta seca rapido
