The second ink test is Daler Rowney FW Ink. I am using canary yellow ink in this experiment. The first test is the fineliners with Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks. I am using two types of ink for this test. Test 3 – Will the Fineliner ink smudge when used with Inks?įor this test we are looking at how well the fineliners work with inks. All the fineliners worked well on top of the Promarker without any feathering or smudging. I assumed it would work well with the Promarker as they are both from Winsor and Newton. The Winsor and Newton Fineliner was the least compatible which surprised me. The Stabilo Point 88 also worked really well but did feather a tiny bit where the marker was applied thickly. It was the only one that did not seem to smudge when used with the Promarker. The best fineliner to use with alcohol-based Markers like the Winsor & Newton ProMarker and Copic Ciao, is the Pentel Pointliner. In the fourth test, I put the coloured marker down first and drew over the top in the fineliners to see how that compared
#Best ink pens for drawing on clayboard series#
I’ve drawn a series of different marks with fineliners and gone over the top of them with the ProMarker. So that the smudging can be seen easily, I have chosen an amber coloured pen to use with the fineliners. I am using a Winsor & Newton ProMarker Brush Pen. Test 1 – Will the Fineliner ink smudge when used with the alcohol-based Marker Pens?įor this test we are looking at how well the fineliners work with alcohol markers. The Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner also seemed slightly narrower, however on closer inspection of the pen it does say the line width is 0.45. The Pentel Pointliner is thicker and the Winsor & Newton Fineliner seems much thinner. For this review I’m comparing fineliners with a 0.5 nib, apart from the Stabilo Point 88, which only comes in a 0.4.Īlready I have noticed a difference in the 0.5 nib sizes across the brands. I may use a lager nib if I’m block colouring an area but otherwise I prefer a smaller nib. I like to put a lot of detail in my drawings and I find the smaller nibs work best for me. This generally ranges from 0.1 through to a 0.5. My go to nib size for a fineliner will depend on what type of drawing I’m doing. I’ve found the 0.1 nib size holds up much better over time. It gives you good precision, but you do have to be careful not to press too hard as it is very delicate.
The Uni-Pin and Pigma Micron Fineliners have the smallest nib size at 0.03. It comes in a broad 1.2 nib as well as an excellent selection of smaller sizes. The Staedtler Pigment Liner is winning here, with 11 different nib sizes available. What Fineliner Has The Best Range Of Nib Sizes Available? This is the type of paper I will be using throughout this review. There is a slight grain but it’s mostly smooth and most fineliner pens take to this paper well (they’re not scratchy).
I normally draw with fineliners in a Seawhite Sketchbook which has 160gsm white cartridge paper. Sometimes it will take a few attempts to find the right fineliner for you. When it comes to finding the best fineliner, most artists, illustrators and graphic designers will have their favourites and there are many different reasons for their choices it’s the blackest pen, it has the most controlled line, the feel of the nib, the resistance to alcohol-based markers, etc. Fineliner pens are normally disposable and are a much cheaper options than technical pens. They have a felt or plastic fibre nib and come in a range of sizes and colours.

You may have seen some of my drawings on the Pullingers Instagram page for Inktober. I’m an artist and I spend a lot of my time doing daily drawing challenges with fineliner pens.
