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

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

The pens were as described. Shipping had a little hiccup, but were delivered just 1 day after original delivery date. Would buy again.

These pens are exactly the right tone. Dark enough to provide structure and yet not as harsh as black.

Looove the 01 and 05 pens. The 1 pen is good for bold letters, but the brush can be finnicky to use. Note that these are BROWN pens so for a softer look these are nice.

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.

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!

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.

I trust this brand to always perform well. I did Cancel the order the day before it shipped, but Amazon shipped it anyway.. I no longer need them, but I'll keep them for something.....
