Questions & Answers
So, that's how you decode the pen's bizarrely perplexing packaging and variety of packaging. First, there are two types. The first is a BRUSH pen, which is the top of the line for brush lettering. The other is a regular sign pen with a FELT tip, and while you can letter with it (or any pen for that matter), you won't be satisfied if you're looking for a small brush nib similar to the famous Fudes. Both are excellent for coloring, according to the 2ay. So, here's how to tell them apart. I'm not sure why they do it, but it's what they do. When you break it down, it's quite simple: This is the pen to use if you want to do BRUSH lettering. It's the brush nib, which is small and flexible. How did you figure that out? Click on one of the photos of the actual pen to see it up close and personal. Isn't there a little glimmer in the barrel? It's like a sprinkling of glitter. This is the most common method of determining whether or not someone is lying. It must also have the word BRUSH on the packaging, which is critical. Both usually say sign, though this varies. You've got the BRUSH pen if you have those two items. There are a few other things to consider, such as the fact that the pen's barrel says "touch." Finally, while some pens have no color on the flat end, the flat end of the brush on this BRUSH pen is usually gray, while the regular felt tip is tan. But most of the time, you're looking for a sparkly barrel with the word BRUSH on it, followed by "touch" on the barrel (I've heard some say touch doesn't appear, but most I've seen do). The other pen is identical to this one, with the exception that the barrel is completely flat and devoid of sparkles, as you can see in the close-up photos. There is no glimmer. They also don't use the term "brush" anywhere; instead, they use the term "felt tip marker." Surprisingly, when you open the tips, they don't appear to be all that different, but they perform very differently. If you want a brush pen, look for a shiny barrel with the word BRUSH on it. These are brush pens, and they are wonderful small tip brush pens perfect for beginners. Professionals will say that personal preference is what matters, but they will recommend the Pentel Brush Sign pen over the Tombow Fudes, despite the fact that they are very similar in appearance and on paper. They just have a different feel to them, and Pentel has a reputation for being "juicier." " While I do not have a problem seeing the sparkle in the photo, others do. Then go to the store and look at them, but look for the sparkle or BRUSH on the barrel, as well as the likely "touch." Finally, these BRUSH pens come in a 12-count SES15CP package. In the description, you'll see that. The S520 (12 count) FELT tip pens are available. So, instead of reading people's descriptions of nibs, stop reading them. It's very straightforward: The word BRUSH is written in a glittery sparkle barrel. You have brush pens that are similar to Tombow Fudes if those two things are true. You can also just buy the Fude (Fudenosuke) and be done with it, but they'll set you back about ten dollars. These pens are truly outstanding.
They dry almost instantly because I never smudge them. They're also the best pens for beginners when it comes to brush lettering. They're incredible!
What you plan to do with them is up to you. If you're doing hand lettering, several books I own on the subject (brush lettering) recommend using a very smooth paper like Rhodia so the brush doesn't get roughed up as easily and lasts longer. I have a few black Fudenosuke pens that don't bleed through the Rhodia paper I'm using for lettering practice.
I did not purchase a 12-pack of various colors. I've only recently turned black. I'm afraid I won't be of any assistance to you in this situation.
Selected User Reviews For Pentel Arts Sign Pen Touch, Fude Brush Tip, 12 Assorted Colors in Marker Stand (SES15CPC12)
Pentel Sign Pen Brush (Flexible Point) pens are fantastic! Give nice thin upstrokes and distinct thicker downstrokes; the colors are bright and bold, and the ink flows smoothly. The Tombow Fudenosuke Colors, which just came out, are another pen I've seen recommended a lot. I bought them at the same time as the Pentels and did some comparison shopping. I made a side-by-side comparison swatch today, so I'll attach it in case you're interested in the two types as well. If you're familiar with Tombow Fudenosuke pens, they usually come in a set of two black pens, one with a hard tip and the other with a soft tip - These Pentels are similar to Fudenosuke Fudenosuke Fudenosuke Fudenosuke Fudenosuke Fudeno So, it's a soft brush pen, but it's still a "small" brush pen that's easier to control for beginners. I hope my review was useful to you!.
Color variety is great! They're great for small lettering (Image 1) if you're into brush pen calligraphy. br>They're similar to the Tombow Fudenosuke brush pens ((thicker tip)), but they're less precise because they release more ink (Image 2). br>[It arrived on time and in good shape. ]br>Overall: ]br> I'm happy! It's well worth purchasing!.
These pens are fantastic! They're so smooth to write with, and the pigment is incredible. I'm just getting started with brush lettering and modern calligraphy, and these pens make it so easy to practice! I would strongly suggest it.
I use these the most out of my large and obscene few hundred dollar calligraphy pen collection; they are my favorites because they are so smooth and easy to write with (and easy to learn with for beginners), and the colors are so vibrant. Because I use these colors so frequently, I ended up purchasing 12 packs of each individual color, but this set is excellent for beginners. The tips are fairly durable, and I like the thickness of what they write; they're finer than my Tombow sets, but they still have a good sense of depth. If you want a better idea of how they write and how vibrant the colors are, go to my instagram in my "calligraphy" highlights and 90 of them were done with these I'm not a pro by any means; I'm just getting started. My Instagram handle is @TheRinster, and I absolutely adore these.
Brush lettering and bullet journaling are in vogue right now, and everyone and their sister is doing it. The Tombow Fudenosuke is, however, the most popular pen set. They're a ten-dollar premium over these. It's unfortunate that one product is championed by influencers and promoted as the "must have" pen, but there must be alternatives, and I don't believe any beginner should go out and spend money on products when they don't know what they're doing. It should be enough to learn a lot and get some cheap basics. To learn lettering, you don't need to invest in a full set of pens. This will be addressed later. That is and always will be my point of view. br>However, when it comes to brush lettering, the biggest names in the industry agree that the Tombow "Fudes" aren't the only small brush pen (there are small and large Tombow Duo Tip-On Brush Pens). On a small scale, you'll be able to learn. ) that are on top of the pile. Thankfully, there are a plethora of excellent videos comparing the Pentel and Tombow Fudes side by side. And I can confidently state that, despite their nearly identical performance, I prefer these. They are, in my opinion, the best. They have more juiciness and are a better pen in general. These are all personal preferences, but as a beginner, you can't go wrong. I believe it's fair to say that Pentel, along with Tombow, has earned a top spot, with many people preferring Pentel. The only thing to keep in mind is that the packages are nearly identical, so you don't buy the felt tip by mistake. Make a point of looking for the BRUSH sign, which is very important, and make sure the barrels are glittery. You'll know you've got the right pen when this happens. There's no reason to spend ten dollars more on the second set. That's coming from someone who began by learning with a two-pack of Tombow Fudenosuke black pens in hard and soft nibs. Once I was comfortable, I started practicing with the large Tombow pen. I love these Pentel and have some large Tombows for larger projects because they are so much larger, but I use these for brush lettering in colors. Pentel makes a fantastic brush pen that, in my opinion, outperforms Fudes for a fraction of the price. I'm someone who thinks a lot about things and does a lot of research before making a decision, almost to the point of obsessing over it, and I'm glad I did that instead of following the crowd. While the black Tombow served me well while I was learning, this set was the better investment. Yes, it's more juicy, and it's also a lot more convenient to use. I use them in my mixed media art as well. Be a wise shopper and cautious when trying something new. Examine all of your options carefully, and above all, learn as much as you can about the field you want to pursue so you have the information you need to make an informed decision and spend wisely.
The colors are vibrant, and the nibs are incredibly versatile. Not quite as much as a tombow brush marker, but enough to get a lot of thickness and thinness variation. I use them all the time now, for things like addressing customer envelopes and practicing lettering. The only drawback is that because they're made of water, they take a long time to dry. If you're right-handed, this shouldn't be an issue. However, because I'm a lefty, I have to be very careful about where I place my hand when writing to avoid smearing what I've already written. It's not such a big deal that I wouldn't use them again; it's just something to keep in mind if you're left-handed like me.
Pens that are amazing.
They're excellent for newcomers like me. I needed something to put in my bullet journal (Moleskin; I had been using Tombows (5 x 8 1/4"), but their size was too large for what I needed. These Pentels are ideal: they're simple to use, and they work well in both small and large spaces. ), as well as a wide color palette. Although there has been no bleeding, there has been some ghosting.
