Now, onto the Pigma Micron. These fineliners are the gold standard in the industry, known for their archival quality ink that is waterproof, fade-resistant, and doesn’t bleed through paper. Plus, they’re made with a durable plastic nib that maintains its shape even after heavy use, ensuring consistent lines every time. But first, let’s start with the basics. Fineliners are a type of pen with a fine, precise tip that is perfect for detail work, outlining, and technical drawing. They come in a variety of tip sizes, colours, and ink types, making them a versatile tool for any artist.

I encourage you to experiment with a variety of pens to find what fits your style best. 1. Parker Jotter Fountain Pen When it comes to choosing the best fineliners for your needs, there are a few factors to consider. First, think about what you’ll be using them for and what tip sizes and colours you’ll need. Also, consider the quality of the ink and nib – you want something that will last and maintain its shape over time. There are no eraser pens for alcohol markers, which is a question we see a lot of. Because of the way the pigment bonds to the paper, there’s no obvious white out/tipex answer you will find in a typical pen form. The Sakura Pigma ink has a long and interesting history, focused on making those pigment particles as small as possible allowing for finer nibs and finer work. Eraser Pens for Alcohol MarkersAs mentioned above, Copic make their own range of waterproof fineliners. These do not run with alcohol markers. As you would expect from the Copic brand, these are high quality pens. They come in a variety of widths and should meet all your linework needs. They come in different widths too. I use a fine and slightly less fine on my line work. 2. Copic Fineliners The Staedtler Pigment Liner is winning here, with 11 different nib sizes available. It comes in a broad 1.2 nib as well as an excellent selection of smaller sizes. The Uni-Pin and Pigma Micron Fineliners have the smallest nib size at 0.03. It gives you good precision, but you do have to be careful not to press too hard as it is very delicate. I’ve found the 0.1 nib size holds up much better over time. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes – fineliners are great for adding details and corrections to your work. The pens have a history of being used in the technical drawing trade, which might explain the use of a number system unfamiliar to illustrators and hobbyists. The full breakdown of sizes is 003 = 0.15mm, 005 = 0.20mm, 01 = 0.25mm, 02 = 0.30mm, 03 = 0.35mm, 05 = 0.45mm, 08 = 0.50mm, 10 = 0.60mm, and 12 = 0.70mm. Are Micron Pens Alcohol Based?

I’d been using Fountain Pens for years before I discovered the joys of working with a fountain pen. About a year ago I took Mattias Adolfsson’s Domestica course on the Art of Sketching. Mattias introduced me to the fact that most fountain pens use ink which won’t run. The course was great, I highly recommend.So, how do the Pigma Microns compare to other fineliners on the market? In short, they’re superior in quality and performance. The archival ink and durable nib make them a favorite among artists and technical drawers alike, and their wide range of tip sizes and colors make them a versatile tool for any project. Well, they’re perfect for outlining and filling in fine details in drawings, as well as technical drawing and writing. They’re also great for journaling, scrapbooking, and any project that requires precision and attention to detail.
