SAKURA 50040 4-Piece Pigma Drawing Brush Pen Set, Sepia

My favorite pens for inking. They last a long time and the nibs are always on point, plus, the inking is waterproof once dry if you want to watercolor over it

Arrived quickly and many tip sizes. You will need for the ink to dry but still good. Price, quality, and arrival time all great.

Love, love these pens. I was originally introduced to Black Micron Pens by a friend. I had never heard of them before. But once I started using them I loved them. They don't bleed and you can paint over them without a problem. I use to use Sharpies before I was given these. Sharpies would bleed right through the page and ruin the next page. And forget about applying paint over them. So I decided to get these Sepia Sakura Pigma Micron Pens because I was working on a project that needed a subtle color. Also I wanted to try the different size points. I also bought more of the black in different sizes. To me they were worth the purchase. I saw them in colors! As you may probably guess I'm going to get them in colors too. Eventually.

For those of you who do zentangle, this is a great alternative to black and white or even the use of different colors. I purchased a pack of ivory blank cards with envelopes here and have been having a blast making zentangle greeting cards using this sepia ink (the ivory also looks good with black ink). This set has 4 drawing pens-- one is .1, which is smaller than I was taught zentangle with, but I enjoy using it for very intricate work. The .5 is what I'd mostly used, and it works just like the .5 black ink (except in sepia). Same for the 1 Graphic pen. The Brush pen was new to me, and it has been a little difficult to work with in that it has a tendency to show brush strokes, or lighter and darker areas if I don't go over it 2 or 3 times. Still, even with that issue, it's good to fill in large areas that would take much longer with the Graphic 1 pen. I really enjoy the color-- I'm a fan of the old sepia photos. I would like to see more pen sets like this in other colors-- maybe navy or dark gray. Btw, Thank You Amazon! I never would have found this locally. I can barely find the .5 and 1 Graphic pens in black, and they are usually out of stock!

Pros: 1. 4 sizes to choose from, including a brush pen for varying lines. 2. Decent enough price. 3. Something more interesting than black 4. Doesnt bleed through paper entirely into the back or sheets behind. Cons: 1. They bleed on paper, probably works okay on bristol as its thicker. I use medium weight paper usually and it bleeds. 2. Wont look much different on some paper types than black. Check example image for reference.

Great little set, just a note that the sepia is very dark so it's subtle unless used right next to black. I'm 100% happy with this as they are my favorite marker because I dislike a harsh black, but as artist know we can be picky about colors and other brands have a more true brown tone to their sepia. I've had no issues with leakage or frayed hairs yet, I even carry them around in pencil case in my backpack that gets a bit of abuse. These are the first pens I always grab when lining and they work excellent under watercolors and copics as well as play nice with a vast number of other mediums.

I bought a few smaller sized pens like these at a local Michaels store for journaling. They work great and I can be assured that my writing will still be legible in fifty years or so due to the archival ink. I bought this set because I’d like to use that archival ink for some drawings and needed the larger sized pens and the brush. The sepia color option is beautiful and definitely adds something to the projects that would be missing from just using black. I am very happy with my purchase and will continue to order more.

Work as they should love the varying sizes

I think the images I have posted are scintillating evidence of the quality of this product. Despite not being an artist, I was able to make two decent drawings with the Sepia microns. 01 is good for detailing, 05 is great overall, the brush can be used to provide gentle touches, whereas, the graphic is good more adding more shade to the scene.

Meant to get black, bought sepia by mistake. I think this was even a re-order of black ones in the past where they changed the SKU at some point. Either way, just note these are not the black. Classic pens though, have been using these since I was a design student in college.

I was hesitant to get them as I was afraid they'd be a copy but so glad to find that they weren't. All the pens worked great!

I'm pleased with these sepia pens, but I find I have to work slowly with the .25 fine, as the ink doesn't flow very quickly down the shaft, maybe brown ink has a different texture to other colours.
