- This week I'm highlighting three of my favourite drawing pens. They feature clever nibs that make much more interesting marks than a standard fountain pen, yet they are all very reasonably priced. They are the...

Fude is my favourite.. thanks for this video, Stefan!
Good to hear from you Marek - thanks for commenting. I think the Fude is mine too ... but I have to admit that Parallel pen makes some really great lines :)
I have one of those calligraphy pens, love it! But it keeps drying up on me. It's a pain to revive it.
I can recommend the Platinum ink - I can leave it in some pens for ages between uses - but there are definitely some pens which are very keen to dry up. Like with old cars, they're happiest if used frequently :)
Fountain pens reminds me of my childhood during middle school, many kids used to buy different Fountain pens because the school said so. It was mess. It was fun. The ink was a magic thing. There are some boys who became mechanics fixing brokens pens and nibs. Later everyone shifting to ballpoint pens. This happened in the year from 2005 to 2010.
Haha, I was sure you were talking about the 1950s :) There is something very satisfying about dismantling a pen, cleaning all the dried out ink out and having it run perfectly again - so long as you don't loose the nib down the plug hole and have to fish around in the slime of the u-bend for it :)
@@StefanMarjoram no I am talking about 2005 to 2010. I was living in india. Many schools demanded that all students must use ink pens to write down notes, exams, lab records. True there was some satisfaction in repairing fountain pens.
@@StefanMarjoram we used to play games with pens can pen fight on our desks. We used try mixing different inks into pens we used swap out nibs, pilot company pen was very expensive like 50 rs to 90rs. it was the pen to own but finding replacement nibs for that pen was insane task.
@@henryjohn2218 I think it's mostly biros these days. Perhaps because of the mess we sometimes made with spilled ink. I remember one chap in our class who used to chew his pens. One day there was an exclamation and I turned to see him with blue ink dribbling out of his mouth - he'd gone right through into the spare cartridge :)
