Buying pens is kind of addictive

vinicius prado Same, I get off on it
Sombra is 90% support

I love how he messed up and just went with it and turned it in to something

Wouldn’t that mean that Peter didn’t actually make a mistake?
I found a micron 0.8 at school.
luckyyyyy
U lucky soul
Bruh i remember find 1 of Pentels rare pens at school
Linny the Guinea lucky -w-
where do you live cos i lost my 0.8 at school
These pens are great except for the fact that they run out of ink very quickly compared to some others. But then again they are fairly cheap, so in a way it evens out
Peter Zurawsky is it a pen or marker
How refill?
@@kalexis6484 it’s pen and wow that comment was one year agi
@@rawonion9976 you can’t
Dude at the end he literally uses all the types of pens to fill in and doesn't even run out.
So I was watching your videos while searching for a pen in the background. And I found this pen so I searched it on UA-cam and clicked the top video.
Heard your voice, checked the channel, holy crap how do I always stumble upon you.
I've used these for about 30 years, and they work very well. I've recently started getting Faber Castell manga pens, which dry a little quicker, but these Micron pens last longer. Both are very good tools for the artist.
i love how he turned his mistake into an element of the peice
Noice
Absolutely enjoyed your video on the micron pens I use them for journaling they are the best thus far
Dude, I draw with BIC. I need to get some of these
Thiago Hospitaleche I alsol draw with Bic I'm broke
Thiago Hospitaleche yeah they are amazing pens. Just as good as the 10 dollar for 1 copic pen. And that’s top of the line.
Big pens are amazing , just look up Jennifer Johansson and be amazed by what she does
F
this video was really helpful! I was gonna make a quick purchase but forgot to figure out which size I needed, thanks for the helpful video!
I bought these a few minutes ago and wanted to look for reviews. This was amazing. New subscriber.
Just bought this pack! VERY excited to use them
I use a Faber Castell small pen, and that was my first pen I actually use for drawing. I started discovering the power of pens a few days ago. Then i couldn't stop. I created the greatest piece of art in my life so far. People at school LOVED it. I now know where i stand in the art world. It took a while, but i found my callin'. thanx! you Inspired me peter! that how I came up with the drawin!
I recently bought a pack of pigma micron pens because of you and i love them, ty so much for all the effort and work you put into these vidios :D
i've loved these pens forever and i happened to find markers that blend really well with them for inking!
no my dear, that chapter is done. Which markers? I hope you don't say copics, I'm trying to find some cheaper alternatives XD
Shivani Bathija I dont use copics when inking, instead i use pernament markers mainly berol they work pretty well for a cheap price.
I glue the nibs of my 005s in place with a tiny dab of extra thin super glue. You still have to be relatively gentle with them, but the nibs don't gradually shuffle into the metal collar as they do when used straight out of the pack.
Thank you for the info, I never knew they were originally meant for drafting, also, your narration style is funny😁
Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!
Where i live the pens cost almost $5 each! time to order off of amazon
I just started using Microns & these videos are very helpful. Thanks...
Having fun with looking around. An interesting thing about the plain old Papermate 1.0 ,which you can find 60 for about 20 bucks, is the range from light to real black you can get from them. I draw on newspaper, and I can go from barely there to solid black. In other words it can draw like a hard graphite pencil or a normal pen. Worth knowing about.
In addition to finding them on Amazon I've also found a good buy on Ebay for the Micron pens. $12.99 for a set of 7 sizes in one package.
The ink flow on these are the best ive come across, so far, lets see!
Just ordered them yesterday on Amazon cuz i found one on the floor and it works so good
How much was it?!
I keep re-watching this because of your voice 😌✨
these pens are the best I've tried! Their ink flows surprisingly well, and no fuzzy lines have appeared. I use a 1mm and 0.35 mm pen for my inking, and I love it! They might be a bit pricey for starting artists, but I think their worth it. I've no problems with them. Maybe those Faber Castell pens are better, but I bet their a ton of money! That why personally I recommend these, and not some unknown edding pens that are like 10 cents
thanks for this review i am currently using a fine point fountain pen,basically what i already had this looks like a good route...
This video was great! I hope u can review the copic multiliner sp pens :)
This video is awesome! I look forward to more Pen Review videos in the future. I personally love the Sakura pens but would really love to see a Pen Review video for the Copic fineliners you mentioned you're currently using as I am considering adding to my pen collection and would love to hear more about them (from you) :D
Could you please make more of these pen review videos? You have inspired me to maybe try and get back into drawing and art stuff, but I am not sure what kind of pen to get. Your opinion on this would mean a lot to me, and I'm sure a lot of other people as well. Thanks!
Ur voice is so soothing I’m about to fall asleep
just don't drop them! I ruined my 005 today.😢:-( :-( :-(
My 003 Microns Basically Destroys itself just by drawing with light pressure
hi! thank you for the video very helpful. wish i had seen thia before i penciled my most recent piece. thanks again@
Glad I found this. Thanks.
I just ordered them and im excited to use them. 🙈
Thanks for the video and review. Found it very helpful in comparing the width of the various size nibs. :)
Peter Draws its a great drawing! thanks for you videos your colorpaper princess
These are my absolute favorite pens to draw with.
Thanks for sharing, very informative
I really love felt tips for taking my college notes, what thinness would be best? I like thin writing because it makes my bubbly writing neat suggestions?
Been using Microns forever and they are simply one of the best pens ever.
Do you prefer thin tipped felt or gel pens? If you like gel tips, I can recommend the Uni Signo UMN-155 (RT1). They are archival proof as well, and the sizes available are .28 mm and 38 mm. The reason I asked is I do not like felt tips as they seem thicker than their tip sizes, and with the Micron, as people said, the ink runs out FAST.
I have a set of these pens and I love them
I found the ultimate drawing pen. A drawing monitor using Mango Studio and laser printer. Man, I can draw anything FAST! I did order a set of these but purely for nostalgia reasons.
I am definetly buying these pens because they look helpful for my comic book
Hi Peter, Thanks for the informative video. I was wondering if you could help with a query.
I bought similar pens by Staedtler and was quite frustrated when using them, mainly because of how I needed to hold the pens almost vertical of the flow stopped causing a broken line. I wonder if this is something which is common with this pen type of was it something I was doing wrong ! Thanks
Great video thanks for the demonstration 👍🏻👌🏼🖌✒️🖋🖋🖊
I need those pens right now.
However when I used them, my favorite 0.05 Pen's nib got shoved up. But ig its prefferable to use that for inking manga eyes ,I don't recommend inking a whole pic with that one pen doe.
Great video! Thank you 🙏
This is an oldie, Pete. Good lil review, Pete. Thanks, Pete. Later, Pete. 👍
Several of mine went dry before I even got to use them. Very disappointing. Now looking for some way to revive them.
I have been looking for better pens for my own doodling.... I think I'll give them a try!!! Thanks!!!
I'm planning on buying one
I bought 10 of these exact pens for $4 on eBay! I hope I love them for my art!
link?
Armstrongchick link
Couldn't find the original posting where I got 10 but I found another. www.ebay.com/itm/132097932103
I've been using these for about 5 years now. Most other stuff seems to fade or cause papers to yellow after exposure to light (for years). Depending on how I use these sometimes the tips actually improve with time getting finer and finer. I have some old ones that I set aside for special degrees of detail.
Just curious, do you think they'd be okay for use with watercolour paint?
Yes, often illustrators use microns to lay in details then they use watercolor on top. Watercolors work really well as a way to add color to drawings made with microns. The ink in micros is completely waterproof once dry so it shouldn't run at all. I sometimes use a method of soaking my paper after drawing, then applying watercolor while the paper is wet - even doing this the ink does not spread or run.
i found a 01 while strolling in work. Found myself in a rabbit hole of an addiction to pens now, 7 months later.
If I am starting, which one should I buy first? Will 0.5 be okay? I need to start with one then I'll gradually buy the rest.
I bought them to draw, they seem to be pretty good.
peter what are your thoughts on pigma's brush pen? in general do you use brush pens at all?
So glad you explained why they tend to fatten up as I write - then nibs degrade. I love these pens but didn't realize what was happening - thanks so much!
You have to be very sensitive with the pens. It is ink after all, almost no pressure need be applied.
I got the copic multiliners and most of em are junk. It seems like all of them appart from the 0.3 cant even hold a solid line when going faster which is essential for creating smooth lines. I got a bunch of faber castel ones and they seem to work a lot better. Ie. They actually hold a line. So im interested to see if these are any good. And it seems like u enjoy them and rate them.
Id like a list of your books.
Ones you made and ones youve bought.
Do the pigma microns bleed through? I'm a medical student and take notes on printer paper on both sides so I'm trying to find a pen with the feel of using a mechanical pencil but I have to switch to pens because all my old notes smeared over time. I have considered buying 32 lb hp premium printer paper to avoid bleeding but I don't want to buy the microns until I am sure they won't bleed through, what's your thoughts? Thanks!
these pens are good i guess but something happened to my 005 and the nib is smaller & i accidentally left the brush pen without a cap for a hour and it the nib is fuzzed up
maybe you could help me, i just bought these pens to draw on veg tan leather. it start working and then it won't work any more. i tried the same thing with the sharpie paint pens and the same thing. any thoughts??
rob
AWESOME UPLOAD I APPRECIATE IT!!!👍👍👍 IVE SUBSCRIBED!!!
🖤My fav are the 08(0.50mm) and 02(0.30mm)🖤
I used to think that these pens were expensive too. But after scanning through Amazon reviews I realize now that it all comes down to quality.
My first pen love was the zebra hard extra fine brush pen...
THANK YOU
Thankss soo much
Faber Castell fineliners are great too.
0.03 is my favorite but I don't think Sakura has it? I use Uni
Which is good for outlining anime drawings?
I don't personally care for Micron, but I'm glad to see you love them and use them to make such beautiful pieces :D
Love the video!! Lol, "But that's life" >o
Which pen is used for shading, colouring and drawing in number 3,5,8
Whenever I go to an art store their usually around 20$ for a pacK of 4.However it comes with an earasee that I lOVE and a fancy looking pencil.But sadly that's the only pack they offer.Unless u buy each pen seperatly for about $5
Finally! I founded the perfect pen to ink my drawing so it will be better if i post it in Instagram
Those pens are great, problem is, the final product would not be as darker as one done with Dip Pens. This is annoing because the drawing became kind of greyish and loses a bite of power. Just go to photoshop and work on the contrast.
+Vic-Chan I dunno why, but i kinda dislike the idea of mixing mediums for some reason. If i have to alter and tweak stuff digitally, i might as well do the whole thing right there and then instead of on paper.
I do my initial line, erase then go over again
THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What's the best paper to use these pens on? I've ordered them online and still waiting for the delivery. I intend to use them for making Zentangles (or just line art).
I also Zentangle and have a couple of suggestions for the type of paper I like to use. My journal preference is the Hand Book Artist Journals (the company is Hand Book Journal Co.) to carry with me. The paper is heavy and has a good tooth, very similar to the tiles included in the Zentangle kit, if you've ever used those.
For use at home or in studio, I have found the Bee Paper Company, Heavy Vellum Drawing Pad to be my personal favorite. It truly has excellent tooth and since the pages are held in a tape bound pad, the come out very easily. The best part is both the drawing pad and journal are inexpensive!😉
+Salman Ravoof Haha..
Thats what I was going to do with my pens too. Zentangle.
Or you can buy them off wish I just got them today and they are amazing😍😍
I use copic markers even though I only have one copic original that I use for filling in and darkening lines
Ps don't make fun of me for only having one good marker we have all been broke kids at one point in life
i don’t even have one copic
When you don't even have one copic
I tend to always get the UNI PIN ones, they flow, don't shade if erased and they are truly waterproof (you can watercolor on then, unless you make dots, don't really know why)
Peter, can you compare them and tell us what?
By the way, I enjoy your videos a lot, thank you!
Im a learning artist and I stumbled across these pens. I was wondering, If once they run out of ink, can I replace it somehow? Or I should just get another pack?
thanks!
Utele Uteliox They're disposable pens. You can't replace the ink. Still, they're worth the money imo :).
I have both the microns and the copics. I like the copics much better. But that's just preference I don't feel they're really worth that much more money than the microns. For the money the microns are awesome.
I have questions anyone might answer; does the thickness of the pen body affect the way you draw lines?
and, Peter, do you ever use colour?
The thickness of the pen body affectes how you hold the pen,therefore, it will cause a change, usualy a very small one, and it might change back as you get used to the pen.
Btw there do exist 003 pens and you can get TINY details with them.
As some of you probably know, 0.2mm lead mechanical pencils have poor longevity, and I'm looking into finding a comparable drawing pen. But which one has the same line thickness as a 0.2mm pencil lead? Do I just get a 0.2mm drawing pen?
Expensive at 2$ a piece lol. I use a Lamy Accent for my everyday writing. Also peter have you ever tried fountain pens for drawing. It may be hard to get into but with a "flex" nib you can do all sorts of crazy things with the ink. Check out noodlers pens and ink I love them.
I wish these felt comfortable in my hand. The ridges where I grip the pen have always bothered me.
I just ordered me a 3 pack of these Pigma Microns for 10 euros. (7 euros for the pens and 3 euros for the shipping costs. Seeing this video, assures me I have made the right decision.
I wish I found this video before I bought my pen because I got the 0.25mm thinking it was the biggest size because I was only looking at the 01 part
I have an A5 artists sketch book, and I have found that both fine tip sharpies and Rotring Tikky Graphic pigmented ink (0.1 0.3 and 0.5) all bleed through the paper. Do you know if the pens in this video are likely to bleed through the paper as well? Also, could other types of paper that are rougher damage the tips of fine tip pens?
My Experience with the Pigma Micron is, that they don't bleed trough the paper at all. If you use Very thin paper, sure they could but everything thicker than copypaper including copypaper iself will be fine.
That was helpful
I got my first one today! 005 in purple!
Faber - Castell inking pens are much better than these.
SparkyPants Fabers are VERY good. Read my comment farther up!
I'm more interested in the pocket knife an it's brand tht used in the beginning but I guess I'm wierd I use these pens to doodle to I'm not an artist I just play with in an paper
my sakura micron 01 feels a little scratchy on normal writing paper . is this normal?
