Sketching Pen Set

Really happy with this pen set! The nibs work great for different lettering styles, and the pen holder feels solid. Perfect for journaling and trying out calligraphy. Easy to use and good quality—definitely recommend!

This is a lovely set at a very reasonable price. I am a total novice and I love the Hunt 101 nibs (only my technique occasionally lets them down). These nibs are very sharp and are supposed to be! They need a very light touch on the upstroke or they will snag and you will end up with ink splats on your work. But with practice you will get better. I would not recommend these nibs for an absolute beginner as most will be a little too heavy handed to get the best from them. Having said that if you treat with a very light touch, there is no reason why you can't use them as a beginner. I would recommend this set anyway for beginners as you get the oblique nib holder included, into which you can put more beginner friendly 'G' nibs in, and when you are more used to using nibs you will have the 101's to try out.

Unsure if this item is mislabelled. Only one of the nibs fits the small holder and it's so tiny it doesn't actually hold any ink (I even tried it with a thinner ink that permanent Indian, but no amount of dipping made it work). Yet the label states that of the six nibs, three are for the smaller holder. The larger holder and nibs are good though, no complaints there, but it loses a star for the above.

I use this for inking illustrations using waterproof ink and all of the nibs work nicely. I was a little concerned when it arrived as some nibs seemed to be a little rusty (see picture), but this hasn't affected their performance at all. For a beginner the nibs provide everything you need and a broad range of thicknesses. The handle is on the cheap side but comfortable and easy to use. The nibs fit tightly in the holder (though I have had nibs slip out on occasion - this is likely user error). It's not the highest quality set but if you're exploring inking for the first time and just want to give it a go, the results are really pleasing.

Great starter pen for those wanting to try an oblique pen holder. Easy to use, doesn't require pliers to change nibs just a small piece of paper towel to stop oil from your hands contaminating the nib. Only down side is after a while the nib is becoming lose in the holder from use. That's why this is a great starter pen to try before you invest in the much more expensive pens out there. Added bonus, an assortment of nibs included.

Not the most premium of products, definitely looks better online than in real life. They are quite flimsey handles, but the nibs give a good variety of styles to try. I would say for beginners this is a great kick off product. Not for pros.

I am a bit of a comic artists and I wanted to try inking my art in a more traditional way, rather than the technical pens or brush pens. I was pleasantly surprised as it was a lot easier than I expected it to be, with a lot more control. Basically, you dip the nib into the ink (acrylic or indian), do a couple of practice lines to rid any excess, then you're good to go. The nib holds the ink through either magic or science (I think magic, but have no proof), and holds quite a bit. You have a amazing amount of control over the lines and the results look inpressive. Would definitely recommend. it's not replacing the pens or brushes, but definitely adds another creative option. There's quite a few videos on youtube which give advice - if you're not sure, then I recommend watching them

You can't go wrong with Speedball products - they are economical and always good quality. This pen set is good for writing and drawing, with a variety of nibs. (Hunt 512 nib very good) Very pleased with purchase. The great thing about the two holders - one regular size, one smaller map size, is that they take most standard nib sizes so you can buy antique/vintage nibs which you find on ebay for very little and don't have to get a new pen.

Pra tinta nanquim escorrer pelo bico de pena é preciso remover um óleo que ja vem na pena pra não enferrujar.
