My first brush pen that I tried and still love is the Tombow Fudenosuke! I love the fact that they have a hard and soft tip so you can found out which one works better for you! I have a heavy hand so the hard tip is easier for me to use!
Are they really good for someone who really havent done calligraphy?
And i really like the fibralo one 9:30 but i worried that it might be not really good for someone like me who never done calligraphy
@@sofialou1809 yes! They were my first brush pens I bought to practice and they were amazing, they also are very durable just make sure to use some smooth paper 🙃
@@sofialou1809 I actually never had tried the fibralo ones so I’m not sure but I do recommend the tombow fudenosukes!
@@sapphiremage4632 thanks for the information:)
Interesting to see you lettering with the Zig Corioco. I have half a dozen and struggle with how stiff they are. But seeing you work yours and how nicely it came out I am going to really give them a go. I obviously need to be much tougher on them.
Hello! Thank you so much for making this video, it was really informative! I like how you kept in mind of accessibility and affordability for your diverse audience :) Love from Ottawa!! I've been enjoying your window art btw!
Can you do video on best brush pens for blending?
I am having trouble with my brush pens not having any difference between my upstroke and downstroke, and I've been practicing, it is almost like the "brush" on it is more like just a very long hard nib (like on a regular sharpie marker) and I can't get it to soften...what can I do to fix that? They're by Sargent Art and I got them at a local craft store near me
I can't find any of these in my country....wait I probably can. I mean - it's China there's everything here...I hope.
Edit: Love your work, keep doing your best and stay safe 💜
Tian Tian how can you go on UA-cam in China isnt it blocked
Pokie lettering I think she uses vpn
Ye you should be able to find some of these on taobao. Especially the japanese brands
This is so helpful, thank you!! ♥
Early!! I love your videos
Yay! Thank you!
I've heard so many good things about Zig Brushables and Koi Coloring Brush Pen but they frayed after using them only a few times and i only use HP premium 32 paper :(
I have almost every one of the pens you mentioned lol..and I too absolutely love the Sharpie Stained pens,I only wish they came in more colors that weren't as neon looking lol..also you can find the Zig Brushables at Blick Art which is at dickblick.com
I do not trust the name of that link.
@@ellebelle994 it’s real I just tried it, you can look it up too
? Letterpen COCOIRO, does it not leak the ink? I had a similar system and when not careful with screwing it back in I always ended up with ink on my finger 😟
You mention "bouncy" a lot. Can you tell me what you mean by this? Obviously, I'm a beginner at this! :)
Hey there! Yes, let me grab a video for you that may explain it more. But essentially, bouncy lettering is where you don't always line your letters up evenly on the baseline. For example, you may bounce the last stroke of your a below that bottom line that your letters rest on or bounce others back up. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/qiP2gPLrtxw/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!
@@HowtoHandLetter Thanks so much!
OMGG the 4:21 problem happens to me all the timeee. i have 2 small brush pens including the pentel touch, and that problem happens to both of my pens. maybe its just how i write coz u didnt have that problem w the pentel touch
how long have you been lettering for? Also, I have just started lettering in the past couple of weeks. Do you find the sharpie stained brush pen makes thin up strokes easily? that is one of my greatest struggles.
So they are all good? ;)
How can 2 people be first?
Probably just typing at the same time! Thanks for watching!
This is what I needed! I enjoy your videos and learn a lot. ♥️ thank you.
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Hi! I’ve been wanting to learn brush lettering, and I can’t find brush pens where I live, so I got the crayola markers and they work perfectly. Thank you so much for your videos, they’ve helped me a lot to learn.
Thanks for this!! I had started lettering with Tombow dual brush pens and was having such a hard time. I recently got Kuretake Fudebiyori from Amazon and was wowed and how much easier they were to use!!!
Hey Friend! Enjoy your brush lettering grateful for your lettering challenges appreciate your UA-cam channel! *Footnote: your cadence and style reminds me of my calligrafriend ensign insights
Love the sharpie stained pens as a newbie and a leftie! Has never smudged for me!!
Sadly, I dont have any of these available in my country.. I have been doing faux Calligraphy in insta.. i wish i had brush pens 🥺✨
you can just use a regular crayola marker or something like that, they work almost the same as a hard-tipped brush pen! good luck 😊
the first pen i used for calligraphy is crayola supertips!! i rlly recommend it for beginners bcuz it’s cheap and it doesn’t also fray.. but the problem is that the tip might shorten
i have the exact same slant issue as well! glad to know that its not just me struggling with things like that i was really getting frustrated. thanks for another great video!!
I tried brush lettering a few days ago and found out my problem is switching thick to thin strokes. This video is very helpful 😊
Same was with me. A little practice helps a lot!
Also you can try her free mini course to get acquainted with Brush Lettering. The practice sheets help a lot.
I know this is an older video, but I tried to look up the Pentel Touch brush pen and my Michael’s store has the Pentel Arts Sign Pen Brush. Is that the same thing? Did they rebrand or rename it? I have been loving the Tombow Fudenosuke brush pens, but saw that someone said you aren’t a fan because they don’t hold up and fray. I’m trying to learn how to hand letter better for my Archer and Olive bullet journal. I’m definitely noticing that the Tombow dual tips definitely don’t hold up! I need to find a replacement for those.
I just bought brush pens before you posted this video but I was happy that the Pentel touch was in this video bc that was the brand I bought
Oh yes, those are highly loved among beginners so I hope you will like them! I think they really helped me to get the hang of thick & thin strokes when I was a beginner. Thanks for watching!
How to Hand Letter yeah, I just tried them out and I think I might actually be able to do this ❤️❤️
I use brush pens for painting. I just make them. Use cheap filler fountain pens and put a raw uncut brush in it or you can buy them with brushes in them already. So cheap, and you can ink up with whatever ink you want.
Edit: like yongsheng 3009 or noodles brush pens probably better choice
Oh wow! I haven’t tried that before!
@@HowtoHandLetter noodlers, which makes great pen ink makes a brush fountain pen where you can easily swap brushes.
You should try the sharpie stained on fabric! I would love to see that ❤️
Bruh she put that in her vid
I've been looking at calligraphy pens and a store I have been going in has ones that are only like $1 something. It didn't really have a brush tip, but more flat lined tipped I guess would be how you would explain it. They have it so you can try it out before you buy it. I have never used them before but have been branching out into being more artistic and always had interests in calligraphy and fountain pens. What is your recommendation? I really wanted a fountain pen but they were all out. What are the differences between a fountain pen and calligraphy pens? Thank you, this video is so helpful in explaining the sizes cause I was so confused in the store.
Wow! Thanks for making this video!😍😍😍😍😍😍
I almost forgot to ask, I was wondering if you have any recommendations on pens good for handlettering that are glittery or metallics?
Yey another video again!
You are great and great teacher. Thank you for your efforts. You mentioned lentil brush pens, but they gave several. I don’t know which ones are short pens. Can you help. I’m such a beginner on this subject. I bought Tombow and not happy. So now I’m turning to you. Thank you
Hi there! Yes, do you mean the Pentel brush pens? They are called Pentel Touch Brush Pens and they're great! If you can't find those, there are a couple of other similar brands. One is the writech sign brush pen & it is really great too! Hope that helps & thanks for watching!
I don't think so wer'e gonna geting the pental bush pen after the lockdown
I am so happy again for ur new video♥️♥️
As i told i attended the mini course it was such a helpful one and one of the best courses i have ever joined.
I learned a lot of new things in there. All must try it especially now we all are sitting bored. I love all ur videos and ur pretty voice too
I hope u will see my comment among a tons of then💜
Am I still early?
My favourite is the pental pocket brush pen
Karin Brushmarker Pro there is nothing better
I watched almost all of your videos on brush pens and I have just started lettering with my tombow dual brush pens you have really helped me decide.
I don't want to offend you at all because I love your work but...
this didn't help me at all
I can't find anything that you suggested locally except maybe the Crayola markers
but I already pretty much mastered that and I want to step up
so maybe can you do another video of you favourites?
Rose Chan a lot of these are on amazon
Would be cool to see a chart at the end that ranks the qualities of all the brands together
aww thank you for the dedicated video! I also love how you put all the links for pens. stay healthy and stay safe
First
Yay! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Lol i know this is random but I have watched a lot of videos on handlettering but I must say I ALWAYS come back to yours because your voice is just so sweet, soft spoken and pleasant to listen to! Thank you for helping me in my handlettering journey!
P.S. Oh and almost forgot to mention....Small AND soft is NEVER makes for a good time! Hahaha 😁
I know I am a year late but I just wanna say that I also love the Sharpie Stained! I foolishly ordered some other brush fabric markers but of course they were nothing like the magical sharpies. Glad to have this helpful list to expand my collection. Thank you!!!
I love your recommendations! I was wondering what pen/marker
you used in the beginning for your mono line “for beginners” in the red/orange color ☺️
It's the other tip of the Zebra Mildliner Brush Pens.
Srestha Chakraborty oh! I see it now. I thought it was a whole different pen. Thank you ☺️☺️
You’re videos are really creative! Love it 😻
Stabilo brush pens or caran d'ache fibralo tip? Baffled!
Tombow fudenosuke hard tip brush pens are my personal favorite for beginners
Is the marvy uchida colorin brush pen also for beginners?
First
Thanks for watching!
What is the second zebra pen you use in that sampler pack?
Can someone recommend the right paper in writing with brush pens
Do you have a video with tipps for lefties?:)
The Sharpie Stained has horizontal ridges showing on the down strokes
May i know the brush pen is it waterproof?
20th and thxxx soo much for this vid!❤️❤️❤️❤️
besides that... love the video super helpful
Thank you. You're the best!
Can u please review camlin brush pens
Very helpful, thank you.
Helpful video🤗
I love your videos ♥
Beautiful💕
Thanks a lot! You’re a teacher awesome!😁
*awesome teacher!-Missy
I started practicing hand-lettering watching your videos and going through your mini-course and actually chose to buy the sharpie stained ones after watching an older video of brush pens you recommended. I think they're pretty nice to learn, I do wish they weren't so super charged with ink but it makes sense considering what they're made for. If anyone's looking for a good one to start, I've had a very good time with these. Also, they're super durable as she mentioned, I've had mine for a while and they're just like new.
I am so early HAHAH
how long have you been lettering? and how often do you letter/practice? and obviously your not that good at lettering so what (other than practice sheets and normal paper) how do you practice? thank you!
Troll
Can you make a pentel brush pen video in real time? Please do reply!
No Tombow for a beginner big brush?!
Tombow has a larger nib and also expensive maybe that’s why🧐
Your voice is so therapeutic ❤️
you spelled grey wrong
Depends where you live how you spell it. A in America, E in England, Canada it's GrEH
