I tried out a new pen this morning, the Pelikan Techno-Liner. I used the 0.1 size, which is a nice super fine line. I only bought one pen because I wanted to test it out, but I think I will be buying more next time I buy art supplies. I think this will be a nice sketching pen for me.
Some thoughts on this pen:
- The barrel was a little wider than some other pens and it felt very comfortable in my hand.
- There are eight sizes available. You can get them in a set but I will buy them individually because I only use the finer tips.
- I am not sure if these pens are waterproof, but the product description didn’t say anything so I am assuming they are not. It isn’t critical to me anyway, because I have other pens that will work with watercolor.
- These pens are very reasonably priced, so I won’t feel guilty about burning through them.
It makes me feel nice to know that I am not the only one who is obsessed with pens (or have mistakenly thought that new pens would make me draw better).
