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.
Here's a sketch of the Osprey Pens Pen Factory, drawn with an Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib using Noodlers Black Ink. Great pen!

I'm not sure how this happened,
And neither is this peep:
A beach vacation for his wife
That he bought on the cheap.
He wanted to surprise her,
So this is what he got.
Turns out his wife prefers a beach
With water over not.
