I just love your drawings. They are cute, fun, clean and so full of details. I love to put a lot of details in my pencil drawings too, so I am always on the look out for great pens, the ones I have are just blah, ^_^.
Thank you for al the info on the used pens. What is the best pen for this detailed work?
@Riya Good question. You could use fineliner pens like Sakura Pigma Microns. Disposable. Or pair up a couple of Pilot Kakuno fountain pens with F and EF nibs. Those are ~$12.50 a piece but will last forever. And finally, stepping into the range of gold nibs -- there's the Pilot Custom 74 and Custom Heritage 91, Platinum 3776 Century, and Sailor 1911 or Professional Gear. Those pens are more expensive in the US so I buy them imported, but you can get import prices through Amazon. Those run ~$75-95 or so. Another affordable option is the Pilot Metropolitan, or Pilot Retro Pop MRs. Fountain pens are a whole entire world. Check out http://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens if you're curious to learn more.
@JunkyardSam Thank you so very much for all the info, this will help me a lot. It is always great to get some good tips from fellow artists, ^_^. Thanks a lot.

When Rebelle 3 by Escape Motions came out I wanted to create something that really shows off its power. I normally draw in fountain pen first, but this was created entirely from scratch in Rebelle 3.
Digital art tends to be cold and impersonal, but Rebelle's watercolor simulation looks & feels like real paint... and you can undo! That's critical for illustration work, as clients often request changes... But even for personal work- it means an artist can achieve a watercolor look without being at the mercy of the medium. So the result is more true to his or her vision.
