Pigma Micron 6 Fineliners, Pack of 6

Product Information

The best advice I have for keeping your pen from drying out again is to either store it nib side down in a cup or flat in a drawer, but never nib side up! That will make the ink settle away from the nib and contribute to it drying out faster. And yes, my Sakura microns work great with watercolors! However, I always recommend you do a test sheet to give it a try before committing to a full project just to be safe. I’m sorry that your pen wasn’t working smoothly! I recently had a similar issue with a different brand of pen and I was so bummed. I was able to get it flowing again by filling up a glass with hot water, setting the uncapped pen nib side down in the glass, and letting it sit there for 10+ minutes. After it sat in the water, I pulled it out and let it be for a few hours, and when I tried again, it worked. For this test we are looking at how well the fineliners work with inks. I am using two types of ink for this test. The first test is the fineliners with Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks. This is a shellac dye-based ink. I am using canary yellow ink in this experiment. There is only one little tiny complaint I have about my Sakura Micron drawing pens, but I thought it was worth sharing just in case it bothers you. Barrel Fading

Eventually, I went to college and stopped doing art for years. I never got rid of my art supplies because I desperately wanted to do art more and I couldn’t afford new supplies as a broke college kid. Years later, when I started bullet journaling again, I pulled my Microns out of storage. They once again became my steady favorites, even after years without use. Little did I know that these old favorites would be an important part of my journey towards becoming a professional artist.

Great for use on tracing paper, the micro pigment ink provides waterproof and fade proof 0.45mm lines and does not bleed through paper I’ve used many drawing pens over the years, but this Sakura Pigma Micron Pen review will show you why I adore this particular set of pens! The Pens that Started It All All the fineliners worked quite well in this stencil test. The ink didn’t smudge or bleed through the stencil and all lines turned out precise. I would recommend using a finer nib. Most of these pens are 0.5. I should have used a 0.3 fineliner, especially as my lettering stencil is 30mm. Three of the pens that I’m reviewing do have a finer nib (The Winsor & Newton Fineliner, the Sakura Pigma Micron Pen and the Stabilo Point 88). These ones performed better and were easier to use in the stencil.My least favourite to use was the Derwent Line Marker fineliners. It’s a good pen if you work in more technical way, but not so great for my drawing style or the way I hold a pen. The one that surprised me the most was the Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner. The truth is I would normally dismiss this pen as a cheap children’s pen, but it really did well in most of the tests and gave the others a good run. The colour range is excellent, and I will definitely be using these again when I want to introduce colour to my drawings. Both inks produced similar results for this test. All the fineliners resisted smudging quite well apart from the Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner. Again, with it being water-based, this was expected. I did notice some small smudging from the Winsor & Newton Fineliner when used with the Drawing Inks, especially on cross hatched marks, but it performed fine with the Acrylic Inks. I also tested the fineliners on top of the ink once dry. All pens worked well, but the Stabilo Point 88 seemed much more faded.

It has been a great experience looking at all these fineliner pens in such detail. My favourite is still the Uni-Pin Fineliner, but I am a creature of habit. It just seems to be the best value for money, comes in a great range of nib sizes, has a decent colour selection for sketching and the nib is very hard-wearing. The pigment ink is waterproof and relatively smudge proof, but not great for Watercolours. The pen nib is hardwearing on all sizes. It’s always best to recap the pen when you’re not using it to avoid it drying out. I’ve found that this pen lasts quite a long time and I do use it a lot. The second ink test is Daler Rowney FW Ink. This is an acrylic-based ink and we are using Lemon Yellow. Again, I have I’ve drawn a series of different marks with the fineliners and gone over them with the ink.Painting With Winsor & Newton Cadmium Free Watercolours Find out how Winsor & Newton Cadmium Free Watercolours compare to the original cadmiums. This set of 6 Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens are suitable for drawing and illustrating both technical and artistic thanks to its fine tip. I better idea might be to use the best pen for the job in each area of art. You might wish to create a smudge in one area whilst avoiding smudges in another. Each artist will develop a range of different pens which they use within the portfolio of art which they produce.
