There are no eraser pens for alcohol markers, which is a question we see a lot of. Because of the way the pigment bonds to the paper, there’s no obvious white out/tipex answer you will find in a typical pen form. 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.

It has been a great experience looking at all these fineliner pens in such detail. My favourite is still the Uni-Pin Fineliner, but I am a creature of habit. It just seems to be the best value for money, comes in a great range of nib sizes, has a decent colour selection for sketching and the nib is very hard-wearing. The pigment ink is waterproof and relatively smudge proof, but not great for Watercolours.For this test we are looking at how well the fineliners work with alcohol markers. I am using a Winsor & Newton ProMarker Brush Pen. So that the smudging can be seen easily, I have chosen an amber coloured pen to use with the fineliners. I’ve drawn a series of different marks with fineliners and gone over the top of them with the ProMarker. In the fourth test, I put the coloured marker down first and drew over the top in the fineliners to see how that compared Fineliners are perfect for those moments when you need precision and clarity in your colour drawings, illustrations, charts and graphs. They are also increasingly being used for writing too, with their unique, smooth feel. With the sizing of the Micros, you need to be aware that the sizes take a little understanding. A Micron 05 does not equate to a 0.5mm nib, but a 0.45mm nib. So it is a size 5. The pens are clearly labelled, but it’s a little quirk of the naming system to be aware of.

A pen that won’t run is essential if you are looking to combine your alcohol markers with crisp lines. Often overlooked by beginners, a suitable pen to be used with alcohol markers needs to be in your art kit. The best pens for alcohol markers aren’t just the ones that don’t bleed, but that also give you the confidence to create your own style. A selection of my favourite pens to use with alcohol-based markers. Basics of Pens for Alcohol Markers Experiment with different techniques, such as cross-hatching and stippling, to create different textures and effects. As mentioned above, Copic make their own range of waterproof fineliners. These do not run with alcohol markers. As you would expect from the Copic brand, these are high quality pens. They come in a variety of widths and should meet all your linework needs.The pens have a history of being used in the technical drawing trade, which might explain the use of a number system unfamiliar to illustrators and hobbyists. The full breakdown of sizes is 003 = 0.15mm, 005 = 0.20mm, 01 = 0.25mm, 02 = 0.30mm, 03 = 0.35mm, 05 = 0.45mm, 08 = 0.50mm, 10 = 0.60mm, and 12 = 0.70mm. Are Micron Pens Alcohol Based? The Staedtler Pigment Liner is winning here, with 11 different nib sizes available. It comes in a broad 1.2 nib as well as an excellent selection of smaller sizes. The Uni-Pin and Pigma Micron Fineliners have the smallest nib size at 0.03. It gives you good precision, but you do have to be careful not to press too hard as it is very delicate. I’ve found the 0.1 nib size holds up much better over time. Well, they’re perfect for outlining and filling in fine details in drawings, as well as technical drawing and writing. They’re also great for journaling, scrapbooking, and any project that requires precision and attention to detail. When it comes to choosing the best fineliners for your needs, there are a few factors to consider. First, think about what you’ll be using them for and what tip sizes and colours you’ll need. Also, consider the quality of the ink and nib – you want something that will last and maintain its shape over time.

Your best (but not only) bet in finding a pen which won’t run when used with alcohol ink is to find yourself a fineliner. Fineliner pens have fine fibre or plastic tips. They are pretty cheap, and mostly disposable (although refillable versions are available). Copic make their own fineliners, which as you would imagine are a safe bet for use with Copic Markers. A fineliner doesn’t guarantee no running though, that depends on the ink in the pen. ] Now, onto the Pigma Micron. These fineliners are the gold standard in the industry, known for their archival quality ink that is waterproof, fade-resistant, and doesn’t bleed through paper. Plus, they’re made with a durable plastic nib that maintains its shape even after heavy use, ensuring consistent lines every time. Use a lightbox or transfer paper to transfer your fineliner sketches onto other surfaces, such as canvas or wood.So, how do the Pigma Microns compare to other fineliners on the market? In short, they’re superior in quality and performance. The archival ink and durable nib make them a favorite among artists and technical drawers alike, and their wide range of tip sizes and colors make them a versatile tool for any project. I’d been using Fountain Pens for years before I discovered the joys of working with a fountain pen. About a year ago I took Mattias Adolfsson’s Domestica course on the Art of Sketching. Mattias introduced me to the fact that most fountain pens use ink which won’t run. The course was great, I highly recommend. For this test we are looking at how well the fineliners work with inks. I am using two types of ink for this test. The first test is the fineliners with Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks. This is a shellac dye-based ink. I am using canary yellow ink in this experiment. The Sakura Pigma ink has a long and interesting history, focused on making those pigment particles as small as possible allowing for finer nibs and finer work. Eraser Pens for Alcohol Markers
