Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens, Multi-tip Set, Archival Gray & Black Ink, 10 PK 50166

Sakura has the best quality fine liners. The grey palette is super versatile. I like the variety of widths and LOVE that there's a variety of 4 sizes in the light grey and 4 in the medium grey. The brush pens (1 of the 4 sizes) are great for calligraphy with medium flexibility. The finer lines (01, 05) almost have a pencil drawn effect which is great if you want something more subtle vs. dark black with high contrast. Looking forward to trying the Sepia colored set soon.

I have been sketching now for about 7 years, you won’t find me without a micron. I love the grey pens but only seem to find them in this multiple pack.

Received these in a timely manner. They were well packed. The colors were perfect for my needs.

if you care about your art

I've always preferred micron pens, and these are excellent. I like sketching in pen, but black pens make it hard to build off of them. In addition, these are, of course, great for shading. I like to sketch in the light grey first, do line art with the 003 black pens (not in this pack), and shade with both the light and dark greys. Although you only get two grey tones, with a combination of solid shading and crosshatching I can get a much wider range of tones than with only black. If you already like microns I highly recommend these. If you are new to microns be aware that they are a bit delicate, so always press lightly as possible, especially the smallest sizes. The brush pens, frankly, are not very good, as they fray really quickly. They keep a bit longer if you use it on smoother paper, but will likely still be the first ones in your collection to go. If you need a brush pen, look into refillable (fiber) brush pens or refillable watercolor pens. The ones I've tried tend to come with different ink (usually water based or lower quality) than these here, but you can buy the ink elsewhere. Be aware that these greys lean just a tad cooler, so if you absolutely need a warm grey then search elsewhere.

The markers are in the same quality of Sakura pens, for your outlines, dynamic drawing to enjoyable writing. The lighter grey is good for outlines for rough ideas. The other grey is nice for adding detail to scrollwork!

I just opened these pens delivered mid December and I’m extremely disappointed. Half of them are totally dried out and will not work.

I have ordered 5 packages of grey fine liners they are super nice to draw with and are perfect for adding shading. Variety of nib sizes and I love the brush tip! They work amazing with all of my multipule microns I can never have enough!

They are my favourite pens draw my art.

Love these pens

Muy fino bien

Il y a longtemps que je cherchais un fin marqueur gris indélébile pour l’aquarelle. Même qualité que la version noire ou la version sépia. La pointe 005 serait bienvenue. Très satisfaite de cet achat.

Dos de los estilografos no sirvieron, llegaron secos y como no los ocupé en cuanto me llegaron, ya no pude reclamar.
