A bit about Pen Drawing (technical pens) - Ran Art Blog
Technical pens (also fine liners) are intended to draw lines of uniform thickness.
For detail drawing, I like size 0.1.
For bold outlines (like drawing coloring pages or comics), I like size 0.5.
Note:
With time, pen nibs will wear down and become useless.
Unlike pencils, pens are not erasable.
You can use a light pen (light gray) for the initial sketch, and when you are happy with the result, you can go over it with a black pen.
Some of my recommended pen brands:
Zig Mangaka:
Staedtler Pigment Liner:
Faber-Castell Ecco Pigment:
There are many more brands that I use and recommend.
For the full list, visit my guide for drawing pens
In addition to black pens, some brands offer colored pens:
There are many styles of art you can do with pens.
Here are some examples (all drawing examples in this article were made by me):
Especially, I like drawing trees with pens:
For drawing trees with pens, you are welcome to visit my guide for drawing trees, like the examples below:
Pens are great when combined with markers.
For this example, I used Copic markers:
I tested many of the top pen brands for lightfastness (I put them in front of direct sunlight for a week), and none of them faded.
In addition, I tested them for water resistance, and most passed with flying colors.
I hope you enjoyed.
As usual, if you have any question, feel free to ask.

Amazing drawings but also very useful information about pens. I saw so many times the drawings with pens and how fine detailed they were but was not able to find what type of pens were used.
The drawing with trees at water that you also made colourful using markers, can you please next time talk about markers and how to achieve such colourful smooth effect, like painting. Thanks,
Done!
Next time, a guide about markers.
I love markers, because it is not complicated like oil painting (which I love too).
On the other hand, markers, like pens, are not as forgiving, as pencils or oil painting.
Can you mix couple of marker colours like overpainting yellow with red and create orange or any other colour like with paints when you can mix your own colours?
OMG!
You can...
If... you use a non-absorbent paper, you can mix them.
But, with markers, I prefer to use the right color (I have more than 300 Copic markers and many others).
With colored pencils, on the other hand, I still think I am using oil paints, so I cannot bring myself to use greens, I have to mix them (blue and yellow).
Example:
You have to first look at the correct brightness value.
Then, the right saturation.
The, the hue.
Lastly, the temperature.
In many cases, you will have to mix markers.
For example, sky is lighter at the bottom, so you have to use lighter markers and mix them with darker markers at the top.
Love that green effect that you achieved with pencils, they are so bright, looks so greeny :) What about the paper what you should use for markers?
I have never tried markers and do not know if I even try, because as you say it is difficult to correct and erase the errors. But I love the result!
It looks like it's a very good tool... for those who can draw :)
I can't...)
Well, I cannot dance or sing :)
me too... :)
