About Drawing with a Calligraphy pen

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Today I will show you how and why I love to draw with my Sailor fountain pen with calligraphy nib. I will also talk about my favorite waterproof ink that is safe to use in fountain pens.
And, of course, it's all about taking time to draw, and in the end it doesn't matter which tool you do it with.
Make a quick little drawing today, and have fun!

"Don't have to go and buy one..." LOL! Can't wait to get my hands on one! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been wanting a fountain pen for art but didn't realize the potential of a calligraphy pen.

I've had the same pen (and a green one too) and the same ink but forgotten about them for a long time. I just pulled them out and started to draw - after cleaning the nib of course. It was dried out. Thank you for reminding me about them! I love your videos💛💚💙

I have this same pen, and I haven’t had ink in it for awhile, but you have inspired me. Yesterday I got a bottle of De Atramentis Document Urban Grey (waterproof), so I put that in it and stuck it in my sketch kit. I discovered mine isn’t scratchy when reverse writing, so that is a bonus.

This makes me so regretful! I had two fude nibs and just couldn't figure out how to work with them, so I paid them forward. Now this is making me wish I had kept one to just keep playing! This drawing came out so cool, I love it :)

So there are a few different sailor Fude pens. The one you have is the Profit model. There is also the Fude de mannen which is longer and comes in green or dark blue.these have two different angles on the nib. The de mannen model is a little easier to find on eBay or Amazon. I have many Fude pens, I love using them for urban sketching. I agree there is no “magic “ pen, it is the artist that creates the art! Thanks! Btw Fude means “brush” in Japanese..

“Scritchy Scratchy”. Love it’s. Sadly Inhad to stop eating at 3:55 because Scritchy Scratchy became more like squeaky black board! I love Platinum carbon Ink, you introduced me to it a few years back and I have loved it since day one.

Great demo, Koosje! Thanks. Also do you have a preference for the gray ink you use in your other fountain pen? I'm using D'Atramentis Document Urban Gray. Thanks.

I haven’t tried DeAtramentis urban gray but I might. I use the gray ink from Rohrer&Klingner SketchInk now and I like Super5’s gray ink as well.

I'm so glad you demonstrated this pen! Does the pen have a 45 or 55 degree nib? I'm not sure what the difference is.

Very inspiring! I have one but it often skips on me using cartridge ink and noodlers urban grey. It is a green sailor fude pen. Any idea what is going on?

@KoosjeKoene 3 жыл бұрын

I don't know. Have you tried cleaning it? Sometimes that can help.

@eileengoldenberg270 3 жыл бұрын

Dear Heather, there are a few different models of Sailor Fude pens. The one Koosje is using is the “profit” model. The longer green ones, also in dark blue are the Fude de manned” model. If your pen is skipping I would clean it out and refill. Use your pen everyday, that helps to keep them working. Also try dipping the nib in water if it skips and wipe the nib. I teach a comprehensive zoom class about fountain pens.. I have one this coming April 17.. Koosje does a great job inspiring and explaining, she is FABULOUS,

@mendyhand3895 2 жыл бұрын

Permanent ink? Do you clean out the ink every time, after sketching? That is what I have always heard. Just got my first Asvine Fountain pen with a Fude nib. I have been using Waterford ink. Not waterproof. 😖. But, I don’t want to clean my pen out every time. Thank you for your videos!

@KoosjeKoene 2 жыл бұрын

There is waterproof Ink that’s suitable for fountain pens. So you don’t need to clean out your pen each time. Platinum carbon black ink, Rohrer&Klingner SketchInk, DeAtramentis document ink, Noodler’s ink

MY FUDE pens always get stuck and clogged. I am constantly running the tip under warm water, or shaking them to get the ink out, whereas when I am watching you pr other urban sketchers it seems effortless....what am I doing wrong?

Are you using a fountain pen friendly ink?

@theluddens2710 2 жыл бұрын

Carbon ink has a warning that if you don’t use the pen frequently or wash it clean when not in use the ink will clog up the pen and damage it. What’s your experience and practice?

My pens never clog.
