This video was so helpful! + incredible editing!!
Vids bomb
I love you study quill
I also love ur vids
I think that a DRYNESS test would have been in order. For example, I've used that Sharpie pen, and have found that it runs out of ink and goes dry in just a matter of seconds of use.
Yayyy
Mildliners/highlighter comparisons next?!
Yasss
Plsss it's been a *Year.*
Good
Now I feel so good about buying the Sakura as my first line art pen
I would recommend also testing the faber castell ones. They have qualities that micron doesnt have
Me too! I love Micron pens 💜
the rest of the Sakura Micron pen is OK but the ink is really really great.
@@Kanamekitchii I love the ecco pigment Faber Castell. I think the woman in this video is using thin slick paper that I wouldn't like drawing on. I think the paper is most important.
Same someone in my class used them, and i asked her about it, she took a pic of it and sent it to me.
Turns out the sakura micron 03 is actually great
I wish you would’ve done a test where you let it dry and then erase over it because I’ve noticed that when I erase my sketches my faber castel lines get lighter so then my drawings look a little less sharp
Drawing Dingus that’s the paper you use, not the pens
FieryNovaKrK no, sometimes the colour of the pen’s go away when erasing due to the quality
I think in another one of Amanda’s videos she said that the Sakura Pigma Microns are the only fine liners that don’t erase when she erases the pencil under 🤗
@@jerinetc3407 It's strange 'cause i use Sakura Pigma Microns, and sadly it always fades a bit when i erase the pencil under the lines? maybe it's the paper as someone said before
Happens to me too with faber castell, unipin and microns. I just end up going over the lines again after i finish the rest of the drawing
Welcome to my new series: STATIONERY SHOWDOWN, where I compare different art supplies and decide which ones are the best. Today's video is the battle of the black fineliners...which do you think is going to win??
PS. All products are linked in the description box!
AmandaRachLee was not surprised at all with the result of the Sakura as that's my favorite too but I was surprised that stabilo point 88 performed better than the staedtler triplus since I use both and I like the staedtler much better because the tip lasts way longer and the feel of the pen and deepness of the black is of better quality in my opinion. Would love to see your take on watercolor brushes like the Tombow dual brush pens, Akashiya, Sakura, Kuretake ones :) not sure if the pentel brush pen falls in the same category? Anyway love this new segment and definitely looking forward to more showdowns 😊
Next time can you do something where you test which ones bleed when you put water on it?
AmandaRachLee please do highlighters and gel pens!
AmandaRachLee notebooks
AmandaRachLee Loved this new idea. Next, I'm thinking paper. Something on the lines of GSM levels and how the different types affect your artwork. I can never decide which to buy.
MICRON squad where you at?

Weird that you did not speak about their "blackness"
True
You mean opacity lmao
They used the different inks in each pen so their opacity will not be the same but its all black, so its just the same
@Buttered Lumps My idea of real black is vanta black
You didn't have to say "blackness" there's also a thing called opacity, but okay
People: *uses fineliner pens or Drawing Pens To draw*
Me: Pencil and ballpen
@Zj pangilinan True bro😀
I completely relate with uuu🥺
xD...i thought i was the only one
That's me I honestly thought I was the only one 🤣
same 😔✊
love this, very helpful!!! also the next stationery showdown could be on the black brush pens (tombow fudenosuke, muji, and other similar ones)
Ahmed Khalil helpful video, was soothing to watch and hear your commentary. Thank you! 💙
Muji do brush pens!?
Isabel Farrell ya their brush pen is a real brush unlike the tomboy though. I think there is only one brush pen
Ahmed i
also, i think sakura? i think they are brush pens :)
Please do the next stationary showdown on White Out !!!! I can never find the right one. Should It be liquid, tape version, expensive? Cheap?? Who knows! Please do a white out version!!
Tbh I don't really use correction liquid or something like that, our teacher told use that if you basically train yourself to not to do any spelling mistakes, you won't need it
meshary alabdulla mistakes are inevitable, you cant prevent them nor train yourself to not have some.
meshary alabdulla sometimes you just get in the habit of writing a certain set of letters in a row. you can't train yourself out of that, otherwise you wouldn't write other words with that letter pattern. 😊
you can't train yourself to completely avoid mistakes. that's why they're called mistakes, they're accidental.
Jewel Skye I mean you're right, but what I wanna say is that people can avoid making mistakes by writing a lot of different words or sentences, and the good thing is that we are respecting each other's opinion 😊
Sandra !! I HATE the paper mate taper version because if you do a line under a line it rips the one above it. ARGH.
I feel like an angry soccer mom when her child’s team came in second place
Lmaoooo I felt that
same >:0
I did a lot of bullet journaling with the stabile 88 pens, and while they might seem like a great value at the beginning, after a few weeks (latest) of using them the tip really quickly becomes much thicker as it bends and you cannot write as small letters as you might want to and the colour also becomes much more grey tinted with that, so for a lasting writing experience with stabilos really I've had to replace them every month or so. just thought I'd let you know!
I use a lot of stabilo 88 pens for the same purpose and I don't share your experiences. I haven't had the problem with the tip getting bigger at all. Maybe it depends on the writing style and how much pressure you apply to the pen tip. I also haven't observed that the colour becomes grey tinted after time. (However, the pens are definitively able to absorb other colours, used that with ink in high school, that might be the cause) Edit: Also I use them mostly for writing, not drawing.
ohh could you do white gel pens for the next stationery showdown?
Lol
Tasha VanHuss why you say LOL
@@fairyie904 I don't know hehe
That would be difficult because some may work on one type of platform while another wouldn't, but would on another.
what about how quickly the nib flattens/breaks down? That's one of the big issues I have with these fineliners. LePen is worst for that, IMO, but I'm not sure about the rest.
pantalaimon1982 Of the disposable variety, PITT pens last the longest. But the SP Copics (metal barrel) have replaceable nibs that save you money in the long run. (Advice from a lil Blick employee)
Le pen also ages really poorly. My entire bullet journal (because I use it for outlining) has turned this rusty orange color over time :( so sad because this is my first one and I didn't know that it aged so bad!
kai la spina Oh that's rough 😕 You have to look for pens that are acid-free/archival or they'll do that over time. Another reason why I love the PITT pens and Copic Multiliners.
Thanks. I doubt I would replace the nib or refill the copic (pure laziness), so I don't know if Copic is worth the investment. I do like my Pitt pen, but I have found that I've worn the nib on it a little, same with my pigma micron. I haven't had an issue with the Staedlers, which are my current favorite, but that might be because I am going back and forth between different pens in the 6 pack. When I used one of my Staedlers extensively, I really wore down the nib. I think I just write too hard!
Ooh, yes, I love the ink colors and price of the LePen, but the nib wears out so fast. Had no idea the ink does that over time. Glad I haven't been using them extensively.
I love your stationery showdowns! You've inspired me to start bullet journalling :) Also, 2k19/2020 anyone?
I can't believe you went through this fineliner roundup without trying the Uni Pin fineliner. One of the best pens I've owned. Fast drying, no feathering, almost zero bleed through on cheap semi-decent paper. Sakura microns also have this red dye when you put watercolor on it right away and the Uni Pin doesn't have said red dye.
Can you do a test on calligraphy pens the next time ? Love from France !
The next stationary showdown should be colored markers or brush pens
One thing I've noticed with the faber-castell fine liners is that the color fades really quickly. Especially if you've drawn with pencil and erase it after inking your piece. The sakura and copic fine liners which I also use a lot keep their color wayyyy better even if you erase the pencil lines underneath your inking.
Great info---but why no mention of the paper quality??? PQ has a great deal to do with how well writing implements behave. The best pen in the world will feather and bleed through low-grade paper and the same pen will have varying results with different paper weights and textures
super excited for this series! could you do highlighters for the next showdown?
Amanda Rach Lee there are mild liners similar to the zebra mild liners and they're called milky mild liners by Whiteman, I believe. You can find them mostly at daiso but I was wondering if you could compare them? Thank youuuu
Hananah Banana I didn't know??
DO BLACK PENS NEXTTT!! coz im really having trouble choosing between pens like pilot juice, zebra sarasa, pentel energel, pilot g2, uniball signo dx, muji and other black pens
Jasmin Vallejo you don’t need Amanda to compare it because let’s be real she probably has different black pens then you do so u could just compare all the ones yourself by running them on alcohol markers , watercolour and also checking if they are opaque
Rayan Jamali she probably wants to know before buying them
Use inkjoy I have the clickers best premium pens
Damn I've always used steadler pigment pens and this video made me rethink to get Sakura, but pigment is a lot more cheaper where I live ($2) so I might just stick to it
SmollAnger I have both and in my opinion staedler actually smudges less and is smoother, but maybe that's because I use them differently or on different paper?
Love Food hm, possibly. My paper isn't fancy and most of the times any kind of pen or lines actually punctuates it... or I'm just fucking clumpsy (prob that tbh)
SmollAnger hahaha maybe XD but Im clumsy too, which is why I prefer using staedler, because "me+clumsy+staedler= no smudge yay" and "me+clumsy+micron=waahh smudges everywhere" (I don't even know what paper I use, I just have some random paper)
I've used both and the Staedtler lasted 2-3 times longer than the Sakura for me. The nib went down real fast on the Sakura.
Don't worry, you do you. Use which ever you feel comfortable and is best whatever artwork you are doing.👍
When I was a really young child I got a stabilo fineliner for Christmas as I loved manga. It lasted for years and I was really happy about it. Now I use the Sakura ones and I'm chuffed, but the stabilo is a good one to start
The fineliner from mitsubishi (uni) is also outstanding! I highly recommend this one ^^
doing inktober for the first time and this really helped me in picking what pen I wanted to buy to use every day for each art challenge!
I just wanted to note something about the Topic Multiliner- it's meant for professional art and illustrations so you're technically supposed to let it sit for a few minutes so that it doesn't smudge. Not trying to be rude, just thought I'd note this.
Katie Brady Lol, she actually said in one of her videos that she just uses the Copic one when tracing the pencils of her drawing and not for journaling... I'm pretty sure she knows it!
And btw, this is a fineliner showdown, and she's just being fair for competing it all!
@@pleasehajima2587 at this price it should smudge at all, even if it is for "journaling", would have been interesting if she would have showcased the other Copic Multiliners
Also to note, if you're using copic markers, these multiliners do not pick up when using Copic Markers with them. This is very important as you can ruin your artwork this way if you don't know and are using Sakura pens which smear a lot when using high end markers, even when you let them dry.
Dear Amanda, Thank you for the video! I thought I'd share my experience with one of them. I'm using staedler pigment liners and one thing I noticed is that they hold up extremely well against water xD. I had a sketchbook once that was completely soaked by the rain, and all the drawings I made with the staedler pigment were all preserved, while all the other drawings done by other fineliners became big blobs of blues and purples.
I then had an idea for another stationary showdown. I would love to see tests on markers. I'm using promarkers myself, which are markers that try to recreate the effect of watercolor. But I know that they bleed through the page quite easily. However, they are excellent if you want to color an area without seeing the 'stripes' of the marker.
Love the new series!! xx
Plus your hair is like goals 😁
My favorite fineliners are the Kuretake Zig Cartoonists. Their ink is even darker than microns and copic, but they also don’t bleed and dry quickly. Would’ve loved to see how they hold up in this review. Ah, well.
I could watch these every month. Great video!
this is the best review video of fine liner in youtube, precise, clear and very informational. good job!!!!
Thanks, this was very helpful!! I think i’m gonna go with a Sakura...? :D
I personally LOVE Copic SP and Copic Multiliners. They are amazing! In my opinion you definitely get what you pay for! But if the price is too high for you Pigma Micron pens are great aswell!
I really enjoyed this type of video Rachel!!!! It’s really helpful 💖
This was seriously one of the most useful things I have ever seen on TH-cam. I love this series ^^
ive never been so early lol i love the series so far ill be waiting for the next one!!
The stabilo is my favorite :D
Ahhh yes!!!! My Faber Castles were a worth gift!!!! Thank you Zoooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wow, I’ve been using the Sakura micron for years now, glad to see it really *is* useful
Roses are red, violets are blue Rachel has helped me a lot and she should help you too
Your Mom thanks mom !
This is amanda Rach lee
Who's Rachel?
Amanda I love this idea! Everything is so clear and I love the side by side comparisons so easy to follow! Next up highlighter Stationery show down? What Evers next I'm excited. Great work :)
I love all these brands and this video really helps me decide which pen to use for what. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful as I'm only starting to build my own journal. 😊 I hope you could do a showdown for highlighters, too. Thank you again 💕
Great idea! Are there any difference in the blackness of these pens? For some reason I want my pens to be super black and my favourite for that reason is the Uniball eye (not a fine liner but a roller ball).
Kingdom of Tides Most fineliners tend to turn a dark gray color once the ink dries.
Le Pen is the darkest & micron
Lol I got uniball eyes today and drew with them tbh I really like them
Micron Is pretty good for that
Staedler pigment liners are noticeably grey.
aaah these kinds of videos help so much
Finally!! someone who makes a rlly good bleeding test !!! THANK YOU!
Amazing quality. I like how you went through so many different tests and visually presented them to us. Thanks!
I think I am going to go with the Sakura micron and Copic Marker :)
sakura is the best
But. Sakura is like the worst in team 7
@@13gangyoungin16 But she better than hInAtA
The ink erases when you erase over it, and that's a huge thing for me.
I like Copic Multiliners better.
Minh Béo yeah right, hinata isn’t dead weight like sakura (buut sakura is way cooler)
Erin Harrell copics are more expensive tho, I feel like you get more bang for your buck with microns but I really love both
you should try erasable pens! :)
This was so helpful and reliving! Thank you so much! ✨✨✨
Absolutely love this video! Very helpful! Thank you 🤗
Thank you!!! I love the Pigma microns, the only problem I noticed is that the 005 size which I really like- the point tends to break or fray or something. This has happened twice. I may bear down a little too hard, and I will say one time I was drawing along the edge of a really thin straight edge, which may have ruined it.
battle of journals 📓 plsss
Julianna Louisa she has already done ☝🏻
This is one of the best analysis Amanda, great effort and very useful - thanks
I LOVED THIS I DUG IT A LOT. THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!!!
I really loved this! U should do more :)
I think that a DRYNESS test would have been in order. For example, I've used that Sharpie pen, and have found that it runs out of ink and goes dry in just a matter of seconds of use.
What?! I have had mine for years and they still work!
yeah same for me, i'm here because i had two fine point sharpies and they both dried out in less than a full drawing, it was only an a4 piece of pape :(
this video has been so helpful exactly what i was looking for. thank you so mucho
I love these stationary showdown videos! Even though I've only seen two of them... but they are how I found this channel!
the refills for the copic multiliner sp costs as much as a regular fineliner. They are just a waste of money, unless you really want the shiny barrel that much. and i say this as someone who has at least 1 fineliner of every brand on earth, copic sp was a huge disappointment. what's worse, the tip for the finer ones (0.005 and 0.1) are very scratchy and brittle, which isn't the case with the uni pin or zig mangaka.
Copic fineliners are mainly used for drawing, and they work really well with copic markers.
Ella i like toast like a lot same brand duh
My copic fineliners I actually really enjoy. They work well for lining but they are rather annoying with erasing graphite after doing lineart. Though that isn't a issue with how I've begun to do my lineart. However, I see your opinion and agree I wouldn't buy them again due to their price and how I can get the same product for cheaper.
I usually use the Staedtler ones, but they take a bit of getting used to them. I also like the Copic ones since you can‘t only refill them but also change the tips in case you break them on accident!
very helpful! I'm trying to start journaling and I really needed a good starter pen/pens! much love
I'm thinking of getting a sakura sigma micron.
I do have one question for some one who has this, does the ink fade if rubbed with an eraser? I get that problem alot with my fineliners.
Thanks
Not as much as some other pens x
Hey Amanda can you make a stationary showdown video about coloured pencils?
You are my biggest inspiration when it comes to my BUJO, I literally started Bullet Journaling because of you. I've always kept a regular lined journal and have about 30+ of them filled, but Bujo-ing (is that even a word? Lol probably not...) is so much fun, and I'm not artist but I love learning new techniques and doodles from your videos. I have decent cursive but I'm learning to hand letter by watching you, and I'm terrible at drawing so I draw inspo from you. Thanks for making awesome content, I get legit so excited each and everytime you post a new video
Awesome showdown. All the winners are my favs.
When it comes to advanced artist using inking pens for the first time Fabra Castel is the best, They last for a VERY long time, I have been drawing with the same pen for 2 years and it is still going strong 😋
It would be nice if you had compared how dark the ink is.
Don’t you mean opacity
@@abeeragulkhattak25 No, I mean the darkness of the pigment.
@@31leoceara yeah I know thats called opacity
@@abeeragulkhattak25 It's called pigment darkness. No relation to opacity whatsoever.
@@31leoceara oh sorry ok
I don’t often leave comments but I had to say I loved this video, please do more. Markers would be my next choice. Thankyou!
Thank you so much for the guide😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️ it's really helpful for people such as me who are still new at art, anyway thanks again
I got the twelve pack of pilot fine liners and the are really smooth in my opinion. There not really smooth but the not rough, but in my opinion the are smooth.(if that makes sense)
Heh, I feel smug now with my set of Stabilos.
Thank you so much! This was really helpful
I literally use all of your top three and I was pleasantly surprised to see them “win”!!
Omg I actually have the Micron pen. I just thought it was a normal pen lol XD
🤦
MARKERS!
Megan Yap Don’t use the Staedler with markers. I have learned the hard way that they are alcohol based and bleed with alcohol markers.
Loved this video! Was so helpful, great tests.
She looks soooo elegant in the intro and her makeup’s natural PRETTY!
My fav is Micron!
i'm an art student, applying to art school, so I've already tried all of these fineliners. that being said, this video is wonderful!
Hello from Costa Rica Amanda! I love this series, and it was extremely helpful! Thanks! I am new to bullet journaling and your videos and pictures have given me a lot of inspiration!
This video won't get old 😍😍😍😍
When she said ghosting I thought she meant when girls leave me on read
for anyone thinking about buying the stabilo pen they should know that after time the ink fades as in not off the page but i have a stabilo pen i bought in the spring and when i use it now it looks more gray than black :/ good price tho so not like you can't buy a new one; just frustrating!
i have one, i bought it last year (i forgot where i put it and found it 3 days ago) and the ink is fine. Maybe you bought a damaged one.
it worked perfectly at the beginning and faded overtime as i wrote with it daily. maybe you didn't write with it as often as i did
Yeah I noticed that too, but I don't really mind because it's such a cheap & good fineliner
I write with the stabilo pens for a couple of years now and it never happened that they faded, even after 2 or 3 years - the color is the same.
Perhaps you bought one of the erasable ones by mistake. There are black, blue, red, and green erasable pens; all of which fade over the course of 1-2 semesters if exposed to UV light. They have one additional perk though, as the bleed less.
OH ONE MIL CONGRATS!!!!
Amazing video and can’t wait for more!
5:40 yaas think of the lefties!!!
Hmph,I’m a lefty -~-
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Great review! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thank you so much for this!! I’m going to start getting serious about my note taking and studying this upcoming school year (only 3 weeks away!) and the pen I use now for my bulletjournal is very smooth but DREADFUL when it comes to smudging and getting too inky. I really need a new pen and this helped me choose so much! I’m going for the Sakura Pigma Micron. ☺️
I will give a Pen suggestion Like Dong-A Hexaplus It's Good too! 💙It's in the Philippines 🇵🇭
i can't find Dong-A hexaplus in most NBS around fairview!
Really well-done video. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Really good overview, thanks for doing this!
So happy that the stabilo won, because I have multiple of those 😂
mariekejee18 but stabilo didn't win...?
Wow, when it comes to smoothness, I cannot disagree more. My staedtler pigment liner is far smoother than my Sakura micron. Also, the sakura micron has a lot more of ink flow, which sometimes messes up the page. I think you might have gotten a faulty pigment liner...
Betina Juchem Clemens I agree!
Thank you from making this video made my shopping really easy
Thank you thank you tHAANK you for this video!! I love you so much right now girl. I’ve been doing line art with my old stabilo for a few years and yesterday it RUINED one of my drawings. Your video is honestly so so well made and researched and it’s just perfect girl. 💖💖👏
In my country the Coptic multiliner have the price much more lower 😂 3$ per 1
p e a c h y i m. Where do live ?
En puerto rico they cost $2.70
