Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Uchida of America 4100-C-.03 Carded Le Pen Technical Drawing Pen, .03 Point, Black: Perfect for Precise Technical Drawings by Karla Richter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well with watercolors

I've used Micron pens for many years to outline the basic outlines of my watercolors, but sometimes I find they smear with wetter colors. My local artist supplier recommended these pens to me and I compared them to Micron and Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens and the LePen showed the best results after a very short drying time (less than 5 minutes) for watercolours. So far so good, and best of all, my lines are still visible after I've added color! As other reviewers have pointed out, the tips are a bit brittle, but I'm leaning towards the larger 0.3 tip, which isn't as thin as the 005 or 0.1 tips, and I haven't noticed any tip breakage or bending yet . However, I try to use a lighter hand with any ultra-fine tip pen to try to keep the pen for the life of the ink! I hate breaking a quill when there is still ink in the pen!

Nice fine line...Nib breaks easily

I might have received a faulty pen as mine only worked for about a minute or so...
