Review on Speedball School Pen Fine Pack by Michael Cox

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Can work with / suitable for Jinhao x750 pen!

CAN HYBRIDIZE WITH PRIMARY HANDLE OF JINHAO X750. Useful when you want to draw shojo with tiny lines on the go. When the ink disappears, point the pen at a piece of paper, PLEASE NOT THE ONE YOU ARE WRITING ON, to allow the ink to flow; You can save all the drops that land by submerging them like a feather. See sample image. (I'm sorry how bad this is, I just drew this and took a picture on my phone with a pen and mechanical pencil for scaling.) These pens are for fine detail, use light pressure and draw slowly, so you don't cut the paper (they're SHARP.) They're about the size of mapping nibs aka maru nib pens, but trying to cross THESE with my fountain pens wrecked one few feathers, 3 or 4 feathers, lasted hours, and bled profusely when they broke. DO NOT USE MARU GLOVES ON YOUR PRIMARY SHOUJO PEN, USE THESE! I made a fool of myself so you wouldn't have to. I bought an Irl Pen but as soon as I have the money I will buy the whole set. THEY ARE AMAZING. However, use a zebra pen (which ALSO works with the Jinhao x750) and a brush or dual-headed marker to paint on large areas such as clothing or dark parts of the character's hair. If you use them to color with ink, your art won't be finished until you are 90. Don't let this pen be your ONLY pen!
