SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 8 Pack

Delicate tips so beware!! I had the 01 quit right away.. I tried to gently clean with an alcohol swab....did not help. I thought what do I have to loose....so the following is not recommended but it did work for me. I took a clear glass and added less than half and inch of water and heated the water in the microwave. I then swirled JUST THE TIP of the pen in the hot water and I saw it became tinted which meant the ink had made it enough to flow.....I then tried writing but had to go back to the hot water and swished it around some more. Then the ink did flow when I tried it!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUT I HATE TRYING TO RETURN OR TO THROW AWAY so I was willing to try. It was a new pen and I could not stand the thought of the ink chamber being full and I could not use it...seems perfect now.

I’ve used this brand since I was in high school so I’m well versed in using each size to tackle different ideas. I’m very impressed with the quality and I love the inclusion of the graphic pen! It works wonders, saves me some time when outlining and provides a nice solid black when coloring. I give it 4/5 for beginner status because I think you’ve gotta play with them a little to fully understand what each size can accomplish. If you enjoy line work or hand lettering, you’ll love using these pens! Well worth the price.

Love how many there are as well as how well pigmented they are!!! Im not sure if the are great for beginners but I love them! Especially the graphic pen.

I expected to have more of a variety of thicknesses with so many pens. But 5 were so much alike, I couldnt tell the difference.

Perfect for my art class!

they work great and draw fantastic for art

My artist is 19 years old ..She approved .So that’s a yes from us .Great value ,if you love fine tip pens

they work very well to add ink touches to my watercolors

Great quality, good ink. Easy to hold, very precise and clean lines. Draws on very smoothly!

While these worked for the intended purpose, they don’t last all that long. I did like that they are permanent & come in a variety of sizes.
