The line being so stable really gives this a digital art with traditional mimic pens vibe
Oh gosh, I meant to mention that in the video! It was so smooth and clean it reminded me of drawing digitally!
To me, indian ink is the best when it comes to being waterproof. You can dilute it and when it dries, it's still good for watercolor ! Also very cute illustration !
Fair warning, though, India Ink will much up a fountain pen real quick. Best kept for dippies.
You can use India inkto refill your “disposable” Pigma Microns when they’re empty and the nib is still good too (just pull nib with tweezers and drip the ink in with a syringe”…. Cheap refill….and it’s waterproof!
If you enjoy the writing experience of a glass pen but don’t like the mono-thickness I recommend Kakimori dip pens! It’s more pricier than a glass pen but personally I use it more because I get so stressed out using the glass pen
Interesting, I'll look into it!
For the watercolor smudging the ink look up archival ink (it’s what’s inside of microns) it’s water soluble until it dries and then it’s waterproof, India ink and calligraphy inks work well for that
Alcohol-based ink. Archival only counts for lightfastness and pigment, not how waterproof it is.
Another thing that’s fun with dip pens is that you can mix the ink with water or other inks to your desired shade and customize your lineart color
It is soooo satisfying to watch an artist use a glass dip pen! I could completely see somebody using a glass dip pen to write a children's book! The consistent lines would look really nice especially for the lettering! Ooh or even a graphic novel! Now I want one and the most "artistic" I get is when using a coloring book :) Great video, Kasey!
Highly recommend Windsor and newton black ink, I use it all the time and it really only needs a few minutes to dry. The only problem I’ve had with it is that I may have to go over it again because the watercolors I use sometime cover it a little. A lot of people also will do watercolor first and then ink to make sure nothing bleeds
Sumi ink is also a good option for more affordable waterproof ink, it’s often used for manga
@@pierce_alien9842I was actually shocked at how affordable Sumi ink is. My Mam is learning to do the (Chinese? Japanese?) Eastern style painting so for mother's day my sister and I got her a traditional set with brushes, ink sticks/stone and a bunch of little bits but because she's a beginner we also got her a big bottle of Sumi ink and a stack of cheaper rice paper to practice with. I was thinking it would be far more expensive because little bottles of calligraphy/drawing inks etc are quite expensive for the size, but this big bottle was about £8ish.
Heya Kasey, you need to plan ahead for watercolors over ink! I always waited a full day or over night I never had luck waiting just hours! I mostly use Carbon Platinum Ink and it is waterproof but depending on the pen used it can take a while to dry! I do enjoy your art style and videos. Thanks Again!
I never knew how to use this pen to make my drawings look good, so I gave up xD but after this video, I'm inspired to try to use it again! xx
the drawing turned out so cute! don't think this pen would be useful for me but i admire its beauty
Oooh I LOVE dip pens 😍 for waterproof (and lovely colors) inks I’d go with Kakimori. Also, their brass dip nib is heavenly ❤❤❤ My second choice for waterproof ink is Roher & Klingner’s Sketch Inks. My on the go fountain pen and cartridge option is a Platinum Preppy or Prefounte and their carbon ink. But the Kakimori brass and steel nibs are now my most often used inking tools when I’m at home 100000% worth the money ❤❤❤❤
When they didn’t start in the left corner and work down 😞that’s #1 rule in dip pen land I was so afraid of smudging the whole video. (Unless she’s left handed then it’s right corner down to left bottom corner, but wtvr)
haven’t watched your channel in YEARS but kasey you honestly got me through middle school and seeing your art is so nostalgic. your style has always been very inspiring to me and the way you use shapes is so gorgeous!! :))
I have a dip pen that enchanted me back when Wish shipped to me in Alaska. I love its look, but no matter how long I dip it or at what angle, it doesn't really soak the ink up for some reason. It's still a gorgeous instrument though!
Metal dip nibs usually have a factory coating to protect them while shipping, you can remove it by lightly scrubbing it down with windex or dish soap and a small brush!
Glass pens just feel special and i think that’s why i love them. Loved your drawing/painting!
I really enjoyed this video format of testing a new art tool, really awesome!
Now I want a glass dip pen, that would be super useful for the type of art I do❤………
This makes me want to try using my glass pen again 👀
I never got to work it as nicely as you managed here. Will try a more cute style like you did & fully dip the tip
Hi Kasey! I own dip pens and a glass pen but don’t use it for much except swatching my fountain pen inks. My glass pen has a swirled nib. So if I turn it regularly while writing the ink just keeps on flowing. It is really amazing how long one dip can go. If you are having issues with dry time, you could use a heat tool or hair dryer on low, I bet. I hope to see more of your glass dip adventures. Thanks for posting this video!
Yess, finally one of my favourite artists try this
Wow that’s a cool pen! :O Nice painting too ofc!
WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! HOWWWWWWWWWW!?!?!?!!!!?!!!!??!?!?? YOU WIZARD HOW DID YOU DO THIS THE VIDEO WAS ONLY OUT 14 MINUTES AGO, HOW DID YOU COMMENT 14 HOURS BEFORE THE VIDEO EXISTED!?!?!??!!?!!?!?!?!!?!😨😰😱
I really want to see you do some fun calligraphy or letter art with the glass pen especially if you get to experiment with different ink colours
So cute illustration😻
Fountain pens and dip pens have been a complete gamechanger for me for writing and drawing... it's such a fun world.
There is also a glass dip pen with a more cylinder type nib it holds.... 3 times as much ink as the tear drop style. I use the bombay india inks they're very waterproof but ya you need to let the ink dry awhile compared to a traditional pen.
I e always wanted to try these glass pens!
The glass dip pen’s consistency would definitely suit your style! I also love them, they’re so pretty
7:15 me too, i cant usw a normal sketchbook size, i make my own in small ish sizes since im comfy doing small works 😊
Confession: I saw the thumbnail/title of this video and my brain played me a kind of reel of Kasey flashbacks to all the times that she's broken the tip of a coloured pencil or used it with a lot of pressure (that may be just a "me thing" but it hurts my heart 😂) and all the times she snapped crayons in her videos and I just winced 😂 Jk!
I remember being so so so careful and delicate when I first got mine and being terrified of it....until I dropped it and it was absolutely fine so I knew they are a bit more sturdy than you expect! 😂😂
I love how the test cat got bigger each time you drew him 😂😂
I just got one this Thursday 😱
Twins!
this piece is so cute! the bold, stable linework really works with your style i think; especially if you used another pen for some details here and there
is this design available in your shop? :3c
You should try a Cheap vs Expensive glass dip pens challenge!! 😊💖🫶
I think she should too. People are going to buy the cheap ones and expect them all to be the same but the heap ones vary wildly even from the same seller
Also wanna mention the kakimpro steel and brass dip nibs :D they're like the glass but don't break the tip
I'd been curious about glass pens, and I always enjoy your process of experimentation in your reviews of art supplies. (That's actually how I found your channel a long time ago, so many brands of erasers tested and compared.) Thanks for all your great art and I appreciate your curiosity.
speaking of inks though, I been experimenting with some metal dip pens lately since they're cheap, and my favorite of the inks I've been playing with is "Sumi Ink" - meant for calligraphy with brushes and dip pens. The Sumi Ink comes in a large 180ml pourable bottle, and I was told to add water to it until I have a consistency that I like. So I have an old ink bottle i've been measuring my water+ink mixture in, I have a large reserve to experiment and play around with too, and can mix my ink till it's the consistency I want for my dip pen. Thought I'd letcha know since I thought you may like the idea having a large reserve of ink to mix and tailor to your needs.
Warning though, the sumi ink is a bit stinky, and smudges with water.
Ooh, I took a sumi-e class while I studied in Japan, so maybe it's time I revisit the ink! We actually grinded a block by hand, too!
ooh perfect! If you did want to revisit it, I would enjoy learning more about it and hearing about your history with it. That's so cool. ^^@@KaseyTheGolden
To be fair, the glass pen is more for writing than illustration. You were right that it's not really fair to compare it to the other pens. I was able to write with one here in Thailand recently and I loved it. I just didn't love the hefty price tag when I have seen these pens go for MUCH less. They wanted 1200-1800 baht (33 - 50 dollars) for a pen set which included some ink, but not much, and a matching glass pen rest.
As a writer, I want to find something like this because a fountain pen is very messy. This glass pen is easy to clean in some water, then using a tissue to wipe off the end. Super easy. Super practical. Very enjoyable experience. I just wish they weren't feminine looking. A more masculine looking pen would be great to see.
I love it! 💕
If you twist the glass pen after each line you finish you will get sooooooooooo much more use out of it. Literally until the glass pen nib is almost clean glass again.
Platinum Carbon Black is a really great waterproof ink, if you're looking for more options.
I didn't know Jacques Herbin made glass dip pens... though I did know they make inks. I've heard some mangaka's use dip pens for line work because of the consistency and sharpness that are achievable. I haven't gotten a glass one yet, but I do have a few different dip pens and quite a few nibs, including some metal ones by kakimori that imitate a glass nib. There are a few removable glass nibs out there, but they're a lot fewer than full glass dip pens.
I noticed this video doesn't have a SponsorBlock green segment (yet), so I made my own segment.
For inks, would recommend Kuretake waterproof manga ink (the one in the lighter gray container, not the one in black container). Have used it multiple time with watercolor and it does not smudge (but do NOT use with alcohol markers because alcohol WILL smudge the inks into an absolute mess). It works super nicely with G-nibs but would expect it to also work well with glass nib, only thing is it dries surprisingly fast so make sure to always have container capped when not dipping & if draw really slow ink might dry on pen. Have also heard good think things about Deleter ink 3 but have no personal experience with it, supposed to be similar to one that mentioned above where reliable waterproof but will make a mess if comes into contact with alcohol. (Usually dip pen inks that are waterproof react to alcohol & the ones that are alcohol proof react to water. The ones that say they resist both don't resist anywhere near as reliably unless they are a lot more expensive, such as Platinum Carbon Ink)
Other ink that have experience with is speedball ink but would not recommend. It smudges slightly & the ink is a lot less viscous so has a tendency to drip & make a mess.
I always wanted to try one of these ☆_☆
Those chunky lines are DELICIOUS. I want to eat the art.
7:25 KASEY ! 😭
7:26 nvm ….
i have a glass dip pen, i love it so much ❤❤❤
So I have a genuine question! I love to draw and I’ve been drawing for a hot Minute, but I haven’t figured it out yet, when I’m doing my line art and I try to erase the pencil lines I erase my line art so I have to go over it in some areas what can I do to help prevent that?
I love it when you work but bigger 😃👍
Glass pens are heavier, too and that weight can help to get a steady line
hi! you can sand the tip of glass pens to have a more slanted look also
I wonder if you write from different angles you can get a variety of stroke varieties.
I won an extremely nice, prohibitively expensive glass pen in a giveaway, and broke it the second time I used it. Too delicate for this big old guy.
The angel cat in the finished drawing kinda looks a bit like Deleter's brand mascot.
video suggestion!! making art using marvin's magic markers !
I like the look of dip pens but I hate the way it cuts into the paper. I wanna try this glass pen now 👀
I'd love to see some multicolour action with it
The magic art power wand
Wait no u gotta dip past the Hole in the dip pen 😭😭😭 it definitely holds more like that!!
Peter's Draws introduced me to glass pens. Be careful... the tips do break of pressed too hard for too long.
I'd love to buy a glass dip pen for my girlfriend's birthday but the website you listed has them all sold out. What kind of price point were they at? I'm worried I'll buy one but not know how much to spend and end up with a bad product, would love your help!
“This is the Kasey Golden channel; we’re gonna be drawing cats.” Damn I guess it’s been a minute since I’ve seen you, because I remember you mainly drawing ants and people 😅
Does it break?
Glass pens look more like magic wands.
I used a glass dip pen and applied minimal pressure, even less than in this video and the tip snapped :(
Not me thinking that her hand was a sloth dabbing
❤
Glass pen
Who would've thunk
.... drawing cats, what do you expect? ...uh...butts?!
When you think if we weren't(romanians),all those things from this video weren't there😅
So heres the thing about glass dip pens. Some are the best youve ever used and some do not even work. If you buy one from an artisan that specializes in them they test them to make sure they work. If you buy a cheap one from china its a crap shoot.
I wish I knew this sooner. I have one with kind of edges on it which somehow scratch paper. Or at least it feels more like scratching than gliding
🙁
@@darkchiisheep4330 yeah that's a very common problem with the ones made en masse for cheap. I ordered three from the same seller and one works perfect, one is sharp and scratchy like yours and one doesn't even guide the ink to the tip at all. There are people on Etsy who are pro glass blowers who make them and they test each one to make sure they got it right. They're way more expensive but they work consistently
The glass pen is really not for art or calligraphy lol It’s just for the convenience of trying out ink and quick washing -- and for its own beauty!
Nib is the end of the pen. Try a different ink.
WHOAH I’m finally rlly early
Such great art! I'd agree with @timpaxew712 and @mandarine7956, India ink doesn't smudge for watercolor. I like Speedball Super Black, but Ph Martin's is good as well. You can clean it off your dip pens with Windex if it gets caked on there too much.
I won't get pinned. . .😏
Omg thank you for the like yall!! 😭💕
Hehheeheehehehehehehe, lol, what is this comment I’m commenting on!?!?!?!?!!!?😂
I love that your final illustration is a painting of windows' super old system paint program 🩷
