If you are wondering what paper to use with rotring isographs make sure you use extra smooth paper such as extra smooth bristol paper. Some examples would be borden and riley paper of paris for pens,strathmore extra smooth bristol paper,canson extra smooth bristol paper or any type of paper that is dedicated for ink pens and is also extra smooth. You can also use these pens in moleskin cahier sketchbooks (the plain smooth ones)
I will be placing links to all of these papers below, ill also be making a video on this topic.

What are some alternative papers? Amazon can't ship here in our area :C.
@@rjamesmontejo Any sort of paper that is very smooth such as bristol smooth, extra smooth cardstock, paper for ink pens, moleskine sketchbook, or any paper for technical pens will work. The smoother the paper the better. You could search on ebay in your area or look at some papers in local art shops.
@catlove 19 They should work. Have you tried them again?
Can I use oslo paper?
Editing: God level 😂💯
If only i had 100 DSLR camers i would attach them all to raid array of 100 M.2 Solid state drives. Then id be Bob Ross Level 47.
Many thanks for this video. You've probably saved the lives of three brand new Isographs. Some very dear friends of mine have just offered me a Rotring set. The brand name has been this legend in my conscience ever since my teen drawing days, I knew they were technical pro pens and sort of always deemed my raw technique-deprived drawing skills too unworthy for them . My friends thought otherwise.
Yet, tonight, I held the Legend in my hand .... and was completely daunted! Good thing I felt those pens were definitely something else, new territory and new beasts I hardly knew anything about, except that it should be treaded with caution, and they be approached with respect of their particular ways.
Now, thanks to your informed advice, I might come to get bold, and safely explore new drawing paths in the inky Way of my three Legendary little beasts.
A million thanks, again.
Thank a lot for valuble advices...
Thanks for this video. I ordered the "College set" this morning, then found your video. I bought one about 10 years ago but quickly bent the nib, so gave up on it. Seeing your video now helps a lot, and has taught me what NOT to do, so that is really appreciated!!
you are welcome :). hope you have fun drawing with them!
19:41 I thought you were about to cry bro... lol
I do when working on a drawing for 9 hrs and forget to press the record button on my Camcorder.
@@jonmahashintina because id rather draw.
Ok. Tanku
Great video. I'll soon use such pens on a pen plotter. Would you know at which maximum speed they can write (meters / second)
I am tracing shapes right now on A3 tracing sheets with my rOtrings. I find I keep having issues with the ink running out and going everywhere, am I doing something wrong?
just got my rapidograph set this is exactly what i needed to avoid breaking them the very first day haha :D thank you for the video!
Im glad you found this helpful. I damaged my first rotring isograph because i had no idea how they worked. I learned from that and wanted to share how to use them so no one else made the same mistake :) if you have any questions about them ill be here to answer any questions.
What's the 'm' for on one of the pens?
Hi, I have an old set of Rotring Pens from the late 80's when I took drafting. I have in the set also a couple of adapters and do not know what they are for and how to use them. Would you know anyting about these accessories? They have a hinge and have threaded rings on them. Thank you in advance.
I have never used them, but i will try to look into them and see what i can find out.
They are for use of the pen with a compass
@@alexstone691 thank you.
you are welcome
Thank you very much for this video found it very useful all the best in life.
You are welcome. i hope the same to you :)
I usually draw with the 005 micron fineliner pens. Does that match with the .01 pen? I love my micron pens, but I want a fineliner with white ink, because all my white gelpen are drying out and just like a ballpoint pen my gelpens aren’t that smooth, and much thicker than my 005 microns. Do you think buying a .01 isograph with white ink is a good solution? I do a lot of stippling and small detail drawings.
Have a nice day, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I believe these are designed for India ink only? Can anyone here confirm this for us please.
It should be very similar. I notice all the isographs under 0.35 are similar in widths more so. between 0.25 and 0.35 is a large increase but between 0.18 and 0.25 is very similar in line width.
I think it would work great! :)
Did you ever try kooh I noor Ink? If so how good was it. I heard it flowed nicer than rotring ink, but not as dark.
I have never tried them yet. Maybe one day i will :)
I do have a question... would you use the Rotring with Tomoe River Paper?
It should work. As long as it is smooth paper. :) Fountains pens let out more ink than isograph pens. So if the paper can handle fountain pens AND is smooth, then it will work for rotring isographs.
Could I do stippling artwork with this pen? And do they have white pens?
Yes, you can buy white ink for them. rotring ink.
QUICK UPDATE! :) I'll be doing another tutorial on these pens soon! It will be a much longer and in depth tutorial.
will it cover light pencil and/or easer?
yes!
Can these be used to draw on cloth like cotton or silk?
I think the pens would snag onto the cotton or silk and damage the pen tip.
I gotta plan some time to watch and practice from your videos really happy to of found your channel here on UA-cam. It is not common for me to leave comments, but I wanted to express my thanks for your chill tutoring... I can't wait to get home later and practice! Also thanks for this video on the RoTring I friggin love this manufacturer and just went ham on buying thier mechanical pencils and pens... Also a set similar to these and have been cautious in using them for fear I'd break them or not having the confidence to create well with them. Anyway, Rad channel I'll share to my friends in the art community as my appreciation. 🤙
Thank you, im glad my tutorials are helpful and thank you for sharing. I don't own a rotring mechanical pencil, although i should get one some day and do a review of it. When i started this channel 2 years ago my goal was to maybe help 1 or 2 people and to use drawing as an outlet. So far I've met new people and surprised by the people I've been able to help along the way. Welcome to my channel Daniel, you are always welcome to comment, share your thoughts, give drawings suggestions and anything else. Welcome to the doodle club :)
@@JSheetzArtwork Thank you! For me the weight of a pencil or pen is akin to a chef and his blade. I definitely recommend picking up the heavy lead and . 07 (or . 05) if you do lmk how you like them! Thanks for your reply too!
I have come across these pens recently, I just have a doubt if rotring pens are similar to micron pens?
Rotring pens are similar to Koh-a-Noor pens.
Very informative video. thanks for it ! I have a set of 3 Rotring iso but I can't have the 0.18 working again. It's been unused for a long time, but emptied/cleaned before storage. Is it dead or how can I get it back to life ? I use Rotring Iso ink. (other thing : the tickness of the 0.35 is much thinner than my 0,35 Rotring Fine line !? )
try to use some rotring pen cleaner solution on the pen and let it sit in the solution over night theb rinse it several times with water :)
Great video, thanks.
You are welcome :)
can you not buy replacement nibs if they get damaged like with the rapidographs?
You sure can. Although sometimes you can buy a whole pen for the price of a nib sometimes haha.
The nibs are about $15-25
Very informative!
Rod Bergeron Thankd rod! Ill be making more in depth tutorials :)
I did took out the nib for the 0.1 Rotring . boy it was the worst ever decision I made. :( . I felt so sad that the pen didn't work and I had to throw it out. Gosh I only wished I have had this advice earlier.
My isograph rolled off the table and the bib bent at like a 45 degree angle. I was able to bend it back, but the internal wire was bent, so it wouldn’t put down ink. I was able to remove the wire component and straighten it and now my pen works fine.
how do you get the internal wire out?
I'm gonna cry I literally dropped mine after reading your comment 😭
GOOD DRAWING
@@fistingmickey5462 hey sorry to reply so late, lol. Almost a full year, and I hope you figured it out, but literally everything in the pen is made to unscrew pretty easily. Just look up a cleaning disassembly video.
Damn I thought I had messed up my .50mm pretty quick but I didnt realize I was comparing it to a 05 micron. The conversion actually makes the .50 a size 08 in micron pen. Im going to freak out everytime I use these things lol. Nice video
You are welcome!:) Ill he making a 2nd video about drawing with rotring iaographs as i get better at drawing with them. Ill go more in depth about rotring isographs, papers to use with them, etc.
If you have any questions about them i will include them in the 2nd video.
@@JSheetzArtwork 👌 The aesthetic pen for the aesthetic bois.
man, that intro scared the hell outta me. especially since i maxed out my volume.
Is it not ok to use these on watercolour paper? An artist ive been looking at uses watercolour and rotring isograph on cold pressed watercolour paper, and they have been doing it for years.
i cant remember if i have ever used these on watercolor paper. As long as the rotring is a 0.35 and larger it should be fine.
have you ever had an overflowing issue? my pen continues to ball up ink without use and i was wondering how I could prevent this? do you have suggestions? I haven't seen any information on this.
Thank you for the question YOKO3636. I will make a video within the next 2 days going into detail as to why this happens and some ways to prevent it. I will test my pens to see what may cause this so i can give you a more detailed answer and explanation to help you. If you have any questions ill always be here to answer :) Ill make sure to make a note of this to cover in a video for you. Also, happy new years and welcome to my channel!
@@JSheetzArtwork thanks! and Happy New Years!
@@YoksnaParaDesign You are welcome :)
A D V I S E : when refilling these pens ,clean the whole nib mechanism from ink in water ( like for a couple of minutes until water comes out clean , you don't have to over do it ) then let it dry , if you don't clean it first , air will push out the ink left in the mechanism when you put the ink reservoir back in place making a big mess ! .
ZEROREZ yes I believe the video mentioned something similar
Could you please tell what the black grid sheet is called as ?
Its a cutting mat :)
Is the ink waterproof? Just asking BS Architecture student
Yes :)
I ordered a college set from dickblick.com for like 50 dollars. I’m so exited...
How are the pens working for you? :)
Think a 1.0mm and a 2.0mm can survive Strathmore Vellum bristol? Thanks for the video
ill see how it draws :)
Can you also write with those pens? I just aquired two. 35 Isographs for 6€. However, I dont really draw. But I write a lot.
You sure can. Although they work best on very smooth paper. They can easily be damged if dropped, held at to much of an angle while writing or by pressing to hard. A better option for writing, writing faster, refillable pen, that can be used on many surfacesand is more durable would be a fountain pen. Lamy safari or the pilot metropolitan would be a good start for low cost and high quality.
While in highschool, I used a 0,35 rotring for all my writing.
@@PaulaBean same for me, 0
25mm. But for fast notes in my notebook at work. I used rotring rapidograph, not isograph. Much less problems with drying and refills than qith old style isograph. With regular fountain pen ink. Cheap Hero and Pelikan inks worked the best, Waterman with few drops of water.
Man, thank you for this video., I lucked into a large set of refographs on a buying spree in Marketplace. 20 bucks got me 20 pens. I love using them for everyday writeing, but was having issues. Everything i was doing wrong, you fixed with your advice. Nice going man. Tk
You are welcome, ill be here to help you with anything drawing related.
@@JSheetzArtwork some of the finer pens. Like the .15 and .35 are very rough. Is there a process that I can do that would smooth the nib like a fountain pen ?
@@Mainbusfail hmmm, not that i know of but ill look into it and see what i can figure out. By the way, im going to do an abstract drawing for you. Have any idead for what youd like me to add into the doodle? :)
@@JSheetzArtwork Holy Cow!! That is really one heck of a gesture. I have no idea, but can I brain on it for a day and I can let you know? Wow that's cool as a frozen fan
Well, I've brought some REALLY stuck, clogged pens dirt cheap and spent the time cleaning them - like, a $70 set for less than $20. If you're used to working with really small tolerances, cleaning them is NOT that awful. Get one of the rubber squirty bulb cleaners. Just... don't... screw them up. Those disposable Pigmas work GREAT, but the cost adds up quick. And the really big bugbear about ink is aniline dye vs pigment, suspended particles, and some inks actually have like a varnish in them. The aniline dye you use for in fountain pens and easter eggs just WON'T get as dark as, like a carbon-black ink that has actual charcoal in it. I avoid all varnish stuff, but you can get a big ol' jug of carbon-black ink real cheap =MAINTAIN YOUR EQUIPMENT. Just, DOOOOO.
Great channel new friend here let’s stay connected ❤️✍🏼🍀🌷🙏
Thanks for coming
So recommended for smooth paper. Probably not for me, good to know.
THE INK IS JUST 100 PERSENT OK THATS COOL
Luego de haber usado este producto por 1 mes entero noté que no es una material para trabajos artísticos, las plumas Rotring están enfocados más al ambiente arquitectónico. No es una pluma que sea versátil, no se adapta a múltiples soporte lo cual no lo hace muy recomendable para trabajos artísticos. Saludos
These pens are used in art class, and many artists prefer them, like Robert Crumb. It's up to your technique and type of art.
I can't even get away with using any variety of index card. I'll just get some bristol ar hobby lobby on sale. Also, I got my koh i noor rapidograph in .30 for $23 at cheap joes art stuff.
I always using the .35 or larger for paper that isnt super smooth such as bristol smooth or moleskine sketchbooka. For my pwntalic sketchbook i use the .35
Ill try a kohinoor sometime. :)
10 minutes in... this sounds like a very high maintenance pen. 🤔
19:43 brain freezes up.... then forgets that bottled ink is cheaper and less wasteful than buying individual cartridges.
im not a doodle as you think drawing i am
Anything that related to rotring is time consuming:((
drawing with them or the tutorials?
Why would anybody want these pens? It sounds like they're really easy to break or bend or ruin. If I pay 30 dollars for a pen, that damn tip ought to be indestructible.
for the nibs that are smaller than .35 they are more delicate. But the ones .35 and larger are good to use on card stock paper, as long as its not so rough like drawing on sandpaper XD. These are meant for precision drawing. They were used a lot for drawing intricate details for anatomy and for drawing new discoveries on insects or animals. By drawing them in detail :)
@@JSheetzArtwork- they were designed for and used by Engineering Draughtsmen, Tracers and Technical Illustrators on Drawing Boards before CAD and other computer drawing software replaced everything in the late '80's and '90's. The nib was used against the hard edge of a set square or template usually on opaque Draughting Film laid over a pencil drawing which could then be printed from for machinists etc to read and make the component, the various line weights were all strict drawing convention norms used across those professions. Any freehand use on paper is purely by Artist preference or found beyond their conventional intended use.
