Review on Tombow Fudenosuke Hard Brush Pen Set (GCD-111) - Pack of 5 for Precise and Controlled Calligraphy by Denise Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good pens. VERY hard advice. Should have bought a soft one.

excellent quality. Local stores have two packs for about the same price. Fair warning, if you haven't used those hard brush pens, they are REALLY hard. You need to apply enough pressure to achieve alternating stroke widths. This can be very tiring for your hand. In retrospect I would have preferred the soft version of these pens as the hard tip is a lot harder than I expected. Great pen, great ink and great pigment with smooth clean lines. Will bleed with alcohol markers if you saturate the line art too much with copier ink. They work well when you outline the line art instead of swiping over it. They are water soluble therefore less waterproof and more waterproof in relation to linen work. You can also use the ink as a water wash.
