![]() You won’t be doing fine line work, but you can pretend you’re Aaron Draplin and doodle some THICC lines. The tip is at least 1 mm if not 2mm in diameter. This is a bold line, no fine lines at all here. If you know how to take apart a paint pen you will probably be able to use that same technique here. When I get to that point I’ll post a tutorial. Like many pump style fiber tipped pens, this one is likely pretty easily refillable. I think if you mash the tip it’ll be softer, but who wants to purposefully do that? Even on smooth cardstock, I was surprised to see little trails of fibers as well as lifted and bunched fibers on the page when I was done drawing. I used a light hand and this tip lifted fibers every time. On fibery and even some smooth papers this fiber tip is aggressive. It doesn’t lift much when I erase which is always nice. It looked great on my bright white cardstock but was deeply absorbed. I did find that there was some pretty deep penetration on my surfaces- it bled through the crappy sketchbook I use at work. Keep a small cup or dish of water handy to rinse brush and further dilute the ink, if need be.One you get it shaken and primed properly it’ll be a deep dark black that is matte on most paper and works pretty well with most paper. ![]() It's actually a pretty cool, meditative process that can focus your mind and body on the task at hand and the art you are about to create. As you grind the stick against the suzuri, particles from the stick will fall into the water and dissolve to create sumi ink. The suzuri has a little well where you can pour a small amount of distilled water. If you use the stick form of sumi ink, you will need to rub the ink stick against a grinding stone called a suzuri. Both can be diluted with distilled water.
