Great Brand Great Pens

Made the mistake of trying to save a little money and went with another, MUCH cheaper brand. Long advice short, flip for the upgrade and get these pens instead of the knockoffs. I ended up having to order these anyway. Great versatility...These pens even worked on the wood ornaments I made last Christmas. The ink as well as the tips last far longer than other felt tips I've tried. Only sad about a few things, I wish there was a mega pack that had all the sizes and varieties, including the color set... I wish they would include a #4 and #7 nib in any pack...got refills?... and finally I wish the barrels were a little fatter for easier grip....None of these wishes being ignored will make me stop buying Microns...Sakura is a great brand and the Micron line is a must have for the happy artist.

Very nice pens for drawing!

I have been using these Sakura 6-Piece igma Micron Ink Pen set for drawing intricate designs. The pens are easy to hold and seem to last quite a while without drying out. What you get: 1-005 .20mm Fine line pen 1-01 .25mm Fine line pen 1-02 .30mm Fine line pen 1-03 .35mm Fine line pen 1-05 .45mm Fine line pen 1-08 .50mm Fine line pen (thick compared to the rest) All pens are in black archival quality ink which is waterproof, chemical resistant, fade resistant, bleed free, quick drying and pH neutral. These pens make sketches and drawings come to life and pop versus everyday ink pens or markers. They provide clear, crisp lines with no bleeding or blurring.

I LOVE these.

First pack. Definitely not my last. The flow is... The price is... The sizing variety is... AMAZING! I've attached a few quick doodles I've made with them so far. Need to "git gud" with my inking. ^__^

and this particular pack is a great deal with a good range of sizes

I still fondly recall the first time I bought a pack of Micron Pens when I got my first birthday gift card to Michaels as a kid. Ever since, I can't be without a micron pen. They are incredibly versatile, and this particular pack is a great deal with a good range of sizes. Micron Pens are fantastic for the sketching/plenary stage or for finished drawings. I have used them for most of my daily sketches. I've been using 300 Drawing Prompts to do 300 drawings for 300 days. After 143 days, I have to say that micron really can't be beat for portable sketching. I have attached some of these pictures so you can see the range of available widths in the package. I have used all of them so far.

Great for Beginners (old art pics included)

I've been using these in combination with watercolors for a few years and I've never had a problem with them! I initially got them to do lineart for cutesy anime/manga drawings (i'll add some examples lol); I'm pretty sure a lot of people go through this phase haha The ink is pretty dark and very permanent (my old artwork doesn't seem to have faded). Drying time isn't long at all, I can usually erase my under sketch in 30 seconds without any smudging (but wait longer to be safe, I forget sometimes). I really loved these as a beginner because I liked the separate pen nib sizes for drawing different things. The smallest size pen was great for details, but you also want to be super careful with the smaller tips (and really just all of them) not to press to hard or you'll damage it. I usually reach for nib/brush pens nowadays whenever I do line work because I prefer more dynamic lines, but I always keep some microns on hand for detail work and because they're super convenient to carry around. Some people say that they dry out pretty quickly, but they last pretty long in my opinion. They labeling rubs off over time which can be a pain when you want to grab a specific nib size, but it's no big deal. But I really recommend these, even though I don't use them as much! It's something I always have laying around :)

They provided a good mix of thickness

I started to get back into drawing again and used these pens to ink my work. They provided a good mix of thickness. One of the things I really appreciate these pens for (and one we all take for granted) -- they did not leave bleeding or heavy ink to smudge with my big palms as I inked my drawing. I've attached a sample of my recent work where I used these pens.

my favorite pens ever

as an illustration student i go through a LOT of pens. so i've tried to buy and use pretty much every major brand of ink pen to see which is the best, and hands down i've never used a pen better than these! they are truly waterproof, dry quickly, are rich in pigment, never bleed through the page, won't lift if erased over, and have a flat matte texture when dried (as opposed to say, sharpies, that have kind of an oil-spill shine). the only thing i dislike about them is that they kind of gum up if you try to use them over colored pencil, but that could just be because i use wax-based prismacolors. in my several years of using these pens i've never had any problems with ink leaking. if you're looking for a great quality, versatile pen set these are DEFINITELY worth the purchase especially at amazon's price!! (the photo attached is done w/ .08, .03 and .01)

I love these, my go to pens for line drawings.

I love these pens. I use them for my stippling and line artwork (I usually stick to the smaller sizes: 005 – 03 for an 8x11" drawing). I love to use them with this paper: Canson XL Mix Media Pad,9"X12" Side Wire, which is a thicker and bright white paper and allows for using mixed media.

Great pens! Mine are not dried out like some other reviewers. Make sure you close the cap all the way, I didn't twice so it's easy to do if not paying attention. The tips are very fragile and you don't have to push hard at all but go slow for a even steady line. These do not bleed through my sketch book (fine tooth, acid free, and 60lbs/90 GSMS). The .50mm will bleed through if you go over the same area very heavily more than 3 times but who does that? Pretty ridonculous. Great for tracing over pencil but not over colored pencils etc. if you need to redo or go over colored pencils, I suggest the Sakura glaze gel pens. The black is intense and will do the job. Update: I did go over a dried watercolor drawing and it's true what they say, it will ruin the tip or clog it somehow. I had to have extra paper on the side to keep scribbling it out. Although it did do the trick I rather not deal with the hassle. Great for sketching prior to coloring or painting and it doesn't smear when you go over it with water. I will try copic markers next.

My teenage daughter requested these for her birthday and she must enjoy them because I find her doodles all over the house. They work great for drawing faces on bananas and eggs if your looking for that kind of thing.
