rOtring Fountain Pen, ArtPen, Sketch, Fine Nib for Lettering Drawing and Writing

Product Information

The pen gets thrown into my work bag or dropped into my top drawer, not abused just laid wherever it may be needed.

And if you are using PCB ink which is a thicker ink, the pen might seem to skip a little on bumpy papers. And it wasn't a pretty pen to begin with, because the section is a very light purple; that must have been some special edition, and surely a later production than yours. Had I never had my first ever “posh pen” which was the MB Starwalker Mystery Black, it would have to have been a 10. The silicone stuff, by the way, cost 6 €, but it served for more than one pen: the next one was a Sheaffer Prelude, because it has a much too thin grip section.

The only thing I don't like so much is that you can't place the cap atop the pen whilst using it - I will probably lose it at some point, but oh well.

It is a specially formulated pigmented ink for fountain pens where the pigments are small enough so it won’t clog a fountain pen. Ideal for fine drawing, sketching, drafts and good for colouring large areas as they feature robust fibre tips for even and precise strokes. To try the pen out with different line widths and shading, I doodled a thumbnail sketch of a tree growing out of a boulder.I would like to ask you wich one you would suggest to me, considering that I never worked with this kind of pen. It’s not super flexible but you will see some line variation when you draw normally with a little pressure. I just wanted to congratulate for your good and deep review for those three pens; I also wanted to ask if you know how would that Platinum KDP-3000 compare to the Platinum 3776 UEF in regards of line thinness? I like both, the DP-1000AN has crisp lines but a slightly scratchy nib and the Rotring has wider lines but a very smooth nib.

The nibs can be a little skippy on coated/smooth paper, which can be annoying, but overall they perform well. In my opinion, this is an excellent pen for drawing and sketching that offers some wonderful opportunities for adding controlled washes on suitable paper (as long as you’re careful to avoid the lines you want to keep). I have the Carbon Pen which is great and a DP-1000 is on the way but I'm wondering if you know whether it will be okay with the Carbon ink or should I stick with regular fountain pen ink? The Lyra Art Pen is a superb, artist quality tool for allcolouring techniques, artistic drawing and sketches. Having gone from the process of going to school, using any pen one can lay their hands on, pens in blister packs, cheap ballpoint pens and the one parker 25 that was saved slavishly for, as an adult, this came as a nice surprise.I will pass on doing a review on this one for now, I think the Lamy series have had so many reviews by so many people who are very experienced I cannot see if there is anything I could add that hasn't been covered. Following on from my (very) recent review of the CS Belliver Bracket Brown, I thought I would have a little fun and have a go at reviewing a much cheaper and much older pen from my collection pen, one that I have had in my possession for just a touch over 25 years now. To be fair, this is more down to the user than the pen and was easily avoided when the strokes were made with more attention. It isn't ugly, it isn't stunning it is quite functional in appearance and it did look as if it would work.
