What pens do you use?

Hello,

the subject does say it all. I usually use a pencil or a fountain pen. Decades ago I mainly used ball pens. I liked the ones with the four colours. They are pretty handy. But nowadays I write or sketch with pencils most of the time. So, what pens do you like to use?

I am very particular about my pens....I use a Pilot G-2 07 for desk work and other kinds for artwork......Fountain pens are fun, too....

 

Hello,

I think the G-2 pen has this rubber thingy where you hold the pen? I'm not a fan . For me it feels icky .

I love the way the ink flows out of it, and how it looks on paper....

 

Remember Le Pens? They were good, too, but I cannot find them easily anymore....

 

Hello,

even my handwriting would look good with it . Using keyboards most of the time results in poor handwriting skills. I tried to (re-)cultivate my handwriting, but with not much success ;(.

Hello,

hm, no. Maybe they are similar to a product called 'Inky', if I remember the name correctly. That are ink-pencils with a fine point. They are easier to use than fountain pains (no spots of ink).

Yeah, they were like a very fine Sharpie, but were very thin to handle....and came in many colors including gold.

 

Fountain pen is what I prefer.
And pencils for taking notes in class.

 

Ink and Quill, obviously.

 

I always carry several pens because I'm constantly writing. Just ball point pens. Nothing too fancy, but also not too cheap because then it probably doesn't write well. I like fatter ones with a nice grip. I always keep my eyes peeled for nice pens I might like..

 

Hello,

I had a short episode when I used black ink. Now I'm back to royal blue .

I tried to use a quill some years ago. But I didn't knew how to cut it, so I failed.

Please tell me that you also use a slide rule, like I do from time to time .

Hello,

do you carry a moleskin notebook? I thought about buying one, but I usually transfer my notes into the digital domain. So it doesn't make much sense to have a fancy notebook.

EDIT: Somehow I missed the pic while writing the above text

 

Lately I've been using the fine tipped sharpie pens.

 

Anyway, I like gel ink pens for the most part....not ball points, at all.....

 

Yeah, I am using fine sharpie pens, too, once in awhile, and always address my packages with thick sharpies....and tape over that, so ink never runs.....
