Drawing Pen and paper?

[LizC]

What do you use for your ink drawings? I started out using a technical pen (Staedtler), and now switched to the micron pens. I was thinking of trying out one of those marker drawing pens, but read some reviews that the nib is too flimsy. I suppose that would depend on the technique used, I mostly do stippling so the microns are probably more suitable but the markers might be good for sketches. For paper I have been using watercolor paper by Strathmore.

I bought a 4 pack of edding precision fine liners that I am very happy with. A little cheaper and in 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7. I use 220msg card.

I use Winsor & Newton's fineliners, in both black and sepia. There's something about the tapered points that I like on those.

I just use them in a Strathmore softbound sketchbook. Whatever paper is in that one feels a bit thin. But I haven't had the pens bleed through the paper, so it works just fine.

I have used a wide variety of pens and nibs, and I feel that what really matters ultimately is how well you use it. Also, sometimes the pen and paper can influence the way you sketch. Which also means that for some styles of sketching certains pens may be slightly better than others.
