I love pen and ink sketches by the old masters and try to emulate them myself. I love to sketch with fountain pens when I go out. Though, I think fountain pens lack the depth and character that can be achieved with a dip pen. Fountain pens allow me to record my surrounding immediately at almos...

An interesting blog on using fountain pens and ink from an artists perspective http://www.lizsteel.com/fountain-pen-sketching-part-4-choosing-a-fountain-pen/

There are plenty of reviews about the Desiderata out there, but most of them are from the POV of a copperplate calligrapher, which is this pen's intended use. There are few reviews that focus on drawing, which is a shame, because I think this is a nice, and also an overlooked art tool. In case you h...

Upgrade From Lamy Safari - Sketching / Drawing
kristof posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hi there! After more than one year of intense usage (mainly for drawing) of my Lamy Safari(s) I am thinking about buying a "next-level" fountain pen. In terms of performance do you think it is worth spending money on a better one (gold nib, better construction, etc.)? Is there significant differenc... -
So, Im new to fountain pens, and I was was wondering what would be a good fountain pen for drawing and sketching? I have seen in other websites that for someone new to this the lamy safari and pilot metro are kind of the way to go, but i really dont like these all that much. I dont want a pen exclus...

Hello--I'm thinking of buying a Pilot/Namiki Falcon Soft Fine after seeing several artists state their preference for it and seeing how it writes in video reviews. I am planning to use it mostly for sketching on smooth watercolor or mixed media paper, and would like to use it for writing as well if...

Looking For A Pen I Can Draw Quickly With?
karakurenai posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
I'm looking for a pen that I can draw very quickly with somewhere around the $80-150 range, as most of the pens I've used cannot keep up with me. I'd like to have the nib as fine or finer than the Lamy EF - incidentally, the Safari's also the only pen that can keep up with my drawing speed at the mo... -
Hello. I have been watching this forum off and on for a couple of years but finally recently joined. I am in Sacramento, California. I use fountain pens almost exclusively for drawing and sketching. I very much enjoy and appreciate reading all the marvelous posts and learning from this forum. I hope...

Hi, all. I'm new here. For decades, I've drawn cartoons with various technical pens. Koh-i-Noors, Rotrings, etc. My favorite of all was a Rotring Rapidograph-- a model that is no longer being manufactured. I've been testing different pens, hoping to fall in love with a new pen. I like a fine or extr...

Need 6 5/8 X 4 1/4 Two-Hole Punched Paper For This Notebook
Lamyrada posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
I have this notebook I bought because of the cover- which has aged very well. The paper has grooves that make it difficult to sketch on it, so I wrote. I have used around half the paper but I am tired of writing against the grain. So, I am looking for a paper that comes close to those measurements... -
It is nice to find a place where all things FP is the theme. I love writing and sketching. I love notebooks, pens and cameras. I have a small collection of all of the above. A few days ago I saw in a few blog sketches that looked very nice and the authors were sketching with fountain pens. I fra...

Pens And Inks For Drawing And Sketching
DarkSymphony posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hi, I'm a design student and fountain pen user (unlike everyone else on my course!) I use a Rotring Artpen, and more recently, a Lamy Joy with an EF nib. As no-one I know uses a fountain pen for drawing, I became curious how many other people out there draw regularly with fountain pens, and what p...
