Pigma Micron 6 Fineliners, Pack of 6

Product Information

As we saw in the smudge test it takes a bit longer to dry and I did end up smudging the dots which is a shame as it does have quite good precision. This is useful to know if you’re drawing in pencil and go over it with a fineliner and want to erase the pencil marks afterwards. Why not develop your own portfolio of fine liners and then tell others why you chose that particular selection. The ink flows smoothly but with enough resistance to keep the pen controlled, it’s a good balance especially when I’m drawing something detailed like a portrait.

I found that it does have a slight resistance on the paper and can feel a little scratchy when sketching quickly. I would say that this is one of my favourite fineliners to use, however I am rather heavy handed and over time the nib wears out. I use many different fineliners but I do tend to find myself reaching for the Uni-Pin Fineliner over all others.Each artist will develop a range of different pens which they use within the portfolio of art which they produce. Pigma® ink, invented by Sakura over 30 years ago, continues to be the most reliable permanent ink on the market today. It just seems to be the best value for money, comes in a great range of nib sizes, has a decent colour selection for sketching and the nib is very hard-wearing. I wrap by thumb over the top, with the pen resting on the web between the thumb and finger so this pen being longer has a nice balance for me. I use them for creating structures in my bullet journal, lettering, writing, drawing, and so much more.

The truth is I would normally dismiss this pen as a cheap children’s pen, but it really did well in most of the tests and gave the others a good run. The Pentel Pointliner may not have had the blackest ink but was the easiest to get a solid block of black. uk Anyway Pullingers have asked me to review my favourite fineliner pens for drawing, so here we go. I didn’t have many dedicated art materials of my own, but one of my go-to drawing pens was the Sakura Pigma Micron set. It’s smooth to use when sketching, produces a good range of lines and marks and you can easily apply less pressure to achieve finer marks.

My goal is to help show you the technical skills so you can grow your own artistic abilities -- but more than that, I want to show you how creativity will change your life for the better. Stabilo Sensor Fineliner Marker Pens avoid this with a cushioned tip that retreats into the pen body in response to pressure. Their needle points pair well with rulers for drawing layouts and their reliable tip sizes lend themselves to tidy entries. Its archival-quality pigment ink is also Copic-proof, so it’s the perfect choice for multi-media artwork and writing that needs to last. For this review I will be testing out these fineliners for blackness, smudging, bleeding, line work and smoothness.
