Artist Pens Online in India

A drawing pen is chosen on two things: nib width and whether the ink is pigment or dye. Pigment ink is waterproof once dry and lightfast, so you can ink a drawing and wash watercolour straight over it without lifting the line. Dye ink is cheaper and often brighter, but it moves the moment it meets water and fades in daylight. For anything you intend to keep or sell, use pigment ink. Nib sizes run from about 0.03mm for hatching up to broad brush nibs for weight and fills.
