Just Draw Fineliner Art: Incredible Illustrations Crafted With Fineliner Pens

Product Information

Cross-hatching: Mark-making in opposing directions to create a layered mesh effect. This mark is fab for building up depth without filling in a whole section with the brush pen.

They’re perfect for drawing at your craft desk or on the go, and their chunky pen body makes them extra comfortable to hold. Fineliners are generally relatively cheap, as the construction is very simple. They're mostly disposable, but there are a few premium refillable options. Most fineliner pens use dye-based ink, which is not hugely permanent, but there are many that use lightfast and waterproof pigment ink, especially the more technical drawing ranges, and the Schneider Xpress, which is a lovely premium fineliner. These pens are also perfect for comic book creation. You might like to sketch in pencil first to get it just right, then go over it in pen. Graphic design

STABILO Point 88 Assorted Fineliner Pens (Pack of 10)

Available in 48 assorted colours. The range also includes neon fineliners, pastel fineliners, and fineliners in nature colours. Not only this but fineliners can be helpful for those who tend to struggle with smudging, thanks to their fast-drying ink. Try mixing up different techniques to help define the form of the object you are sketching. Cross hatching and contour are commonly used together.

It's also leakproof so it won't leak on your clothes or anything else. It's perfect for drawing and sketching.My least favourite to use was the Derwent Line Marker fineliners. It’s a good pen if you work in more technical way, but not so great for my drawing style or the way I hold a pen. The one that surprised me the most was the Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner. The truth is I would normally dismiss this pen as a cheap children’s pen, but it really did well in most of the tests and gave the others a good run. The colour range is excellent, and I will definitely be using these again when I want to introduce colour to my drawings.
