Crayola, for me as a beginner, is the most difficult to use. Even holding the pen properly, it is VERY difficult to get thin lines. I have to move the pen to a practically vertical angle to get a relatively thin line. It is very awkward to transition back and forth. No real problems with Tombow brush pen or Fudenosuke pens. Have not tried the Pentel brand or the particular Kuretake mentioned, though I do have some metallic Kuretake pens that are great for larger lettering.
Hey there! People who are very light handed tend to have a harder time with Crayola because you do have to push hard to bend the nib. Though most of my students find it a relief using Crayola over the smaller pen! The Pentel is like the Tombow fude soft nib so you’ve tried that. And the Kuretake is the same nib in the metallic you have 😊
Just bought some pentel brush pens a few days ago. I started with tombow and a sharpie brush pen and they are not all that great for beginners but so many people recommend them. I saw a previous video where you mentioned the pentel ones and I love them! Thanks for your videos and workshop. They are so helpful.
Sarah, thank you so much for your honest and extremely helpful advice. I was trying to revive my calligraphy skills, using hard tips like I used to when I was younger. After discovering brush lettering online, I tried it, with frustrating results. I practiced, but just couldn't find a good feel. Then I found your TH-cam channel, and tried the Crayola markers I keep for my grandkids. Totally blew my mind how effective they are! Then yesterday I got a set of Pentel Fude Touch pens. They do exactly everything for my handlettering that you described. So bouncy and responsive! My lettering still needs work, but now my practice is much more fun and satisfying. Thanks again, and keep encouraging us!💗
I absolutely love your videos! They are so super helpful and I just love the positivity and encouragement that you emit to your viewers :) I'm a beginner with calligraphy and hand lettering and your videos have really helped me understand the process so much better! Your work inspires me to create my own beautiful pieces as well :) so thanks!
I have tried a few different brush pens trying to figure out which ones works better for me. Although I do need to learn more hand lettering first, other than my dabbling in it so far. I really struggle with writing pretty letters the most as a beginner because my handwriting is terrible but I am told I can still learn some type of calligraphy. Question #1, whwere should I start just to learn how to make pretty letters? 2nd, as far as name brands go, so far I do not like crayola or tombows or Pitt markers. I feel like I do better with watercolor brushes. Like real nylon strand brush, but some one sent me one Kelly Creates brush marker in some happy mail and I like it, so I have ordered some that being shipped. Do you happen to have these and know what kind of brush top it is so that I could find similar ones . As a newbie the hard, soft , hard at the bottom soft tip is not a concept I am understanding well enough to make choices right now. Sorry so long, but hope you can help me get started with some things that you offer as I love your videos!
I have used Sharpie Brush Pen it was my first brush pen I tried it ehile purchasing at the national bookstore it was good I was Satisfied but just in a couple of hours it the ink started running out I was sooo disappointed... I just bought 1 pen it was black so this is very helpful
I just bought s 180 box set of Ohuhu, broad chisel and brush art markers to start journaling and daily sketching G. Are these long enough brush type to go hand lettering or do you recommend a specific nib length?, thank you advance. Ken.
as a begginer i used a faber castle pen to start with and then i buy small and medium size of brush pen after that i buy crayola markers and im now studying how to use fountain pen. Btw i love your viddsss
Hi, I am a newbie and trying to find a brush pen I like. I am not a big fan of crayola or Tombow so far. I seem to do better with watercolor bristle nibs but I want a marker. Some one sent me one Kelly Creates dream brush pen and I think I like it and have ordered a set. Do you have these in order to explain the nib to me because it would help if I learned what I do and not like about the nibs. Thanks for any help! Love your videos!
Hey there! The bristle nib is a great option if you feel more comfortable with that! It’s all about finding what pens work best with your style! I have a video here where I talked about pens with bristles like that: th-cam.com/video/FiVGCDGihvY/w-d-xo.html
Ooh that’s a tough choice! I like both but I recommend Kuretake fudebiyori because it’s a little easier to use to start. Marvy colorin has a longer nib that’s really bouncy which is great quality! But it’s more of a personal preference 👍
Hello Sarah! if you have to choose between Crayola broadline or super tips for small/medium lettering but also for coloring for example mandalas, what would you buy? i can’t decide since they don’t sell them in Spain and I have to order them online.
Ivan Mora That’s a great question! I might choose supertips because they’re smaller for coloring and they give smaller lettering but still medium sized. And they come in lots of colors! 👍
Have you tried the Faber Castell Pitt Artist Brush pens? I wonder how comparable they are to those kuretake fudebiyori ones. They have a fairly small, thin soft brush nib. But since they seem thinner and softer than the fudebiyori ones that are firmer if I understood correctly, I wonder how they would look side to side
That sounds like a great comparison! They're very different in my opinion. Faber Castell is very unique. They are firm but skinny which is different from Kuretake fudebiyori. I wouldn't say they're similar at all but I love them both and think they are both easier to start with than larger brush pens!
I agree that the Pentel Touch brush pens (with hard tip) are good for beginners, in my opinion the best choice to start with brushlettering and to learn the Basics. In my opinion they should be the First ones. I bought the tombow fudenosuke and they are comparable, also really good brushes but with one big disadvantage: they are not waterbased, Not blendable. The Edding 1340 brush pens are very good Brushes for the next step/the next Level (Not for start as a beginner, as I did) and comparable with your kuretake, bouncing but handable and a good one to start with larger letters. And the biggest mistake ever is to try your start as newbie with tombow Abt Dual! I will never understand why these saleswoman sold me this pen in a starter Set?? No way …or the best way to feel like a looser and to give up lettering before started!
I normally use them on smooth paper but I have used them occasionally on rough paper like watercolor paper and they still haven’t frayed. But I think if they were constantly being used on rough paper, they would wear down faster.
Angela Liu I’m getting some tombow brush pens soon. They are pretty affordable and have amazing reviews. I would say yes if that’s what worked for you, but I am not someone you wanna get answers from. XD
Yes! @ScarletTheGoldie is right! A lot of people start with Tombow and love them. I’ve noticed most people find them more difficult to get used to than other pens which is why I don’t recommend them to start, but that doesn’t mean it’s not doable! 👍
My Hubby had the audacity to say I have too many pens! Too many pens! No such thing. I may have over 25 fountain pens, 50 plus Muji pens and hundreds of brush pens. And I love the Pentel Touch pens. I also love the Tombow. But have to re mortgage the house to buy them. I have some of the Crayola pens that have a smaller nib. They are good value.
@@EnsignInsights i think its a little bit tricky than crayola color tips. Here in our city, stabilo is the most accessible thats why i tried it as a substitute for calligraphy

Aww thank you for sharing that! I’m so glad you find my videos helpful! Thanks for being here! 😊
I always recommend Pentel touch pens for beginners. They are sooo good and easy to use! 🤗
Yes I agree! And the ink is so vibrant and they last forever! They're amazing!
With pentel i feel like im pressing the nib too hard to get thick strokes and the ink will just flow 😭😭😭
LOVE THIS! Especially the switch of colors on each letter!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love your videos. Great job. Soothing voice. Wonderful information. 💖
Thank you so much!

I use Crayola for hand lettering
as a begginer i used a faber castle pen to start with and then i buy small and medium size of brush pen after that i buy crayola markers and im now studying how to use fountain pen. Btw i love your viddsss
I recommend that you to also add tombow fudenosuke brush pen. But the other pens are also pretty good
Really, tombow fudenosuke bruah pen are really easy to use. And It works really cool

You should try the ohuhu brush pens. You could find them on amazon.
Moises Pacheco I never knew they had brush pens, I’ve only seen the cheap ohuhu markers being reviewed and loved all over amazon.
do u prefer marvy uchida colorin or kuretake fudebiyori? im having a hard choice deciding which to buy
Ooh that’s a tough choice! I like both but I recommend Kuretake fudebiyori because it’s a little easier to use to start. Marvy colorin has a longer nib that’s really bouncy which is great quality! But it’s more of a personal preference 👍
What pad are you using here please? Thank you

I’m a beginner and I used the crayola and pentel. IT REALLY FOR BEGINNER! if you’re like me please buy this pen🥺
How to purchase pen marker kit
Do you use the Pentel Touch felt tip pen or the flexible tip ones? They’re slightly different...
The brush pen! The felt tip ones won’t work for brush lettering since the tip doesn’t bend.
can u review arteza brush pets? i have that and its realy good
I have Arteza under my desk waiting to be reviewed! Watch for it soon 😊
Thankyou for this!! I’m a beginner at calligraphy and lettering 💖
Thank you for watching!
bom!! parabéns pelo canal 🤗

I have heard so many people say the same thing about Tombow dual brush pens!! I also love Edding brush pens. They’re nice and firm but still bouncy!
Oof i started with tombow. That's why it's not even good😂
Me too 🙄
does the pentel touch fray sarah?
I have never had a Pentel touch brush pen fray personally and I’ve used them for years!
Ensign Insights have you used them on regular copy paper or do you have to use specialty paper, like Rhodia or laser jet paper?
I normally use them on smooth paper but I have used them occasionally on rough paper like watercolor paper and they still haven’t frayed. But I think if they were constantly being used on rough paper, they would wear down faster.
Ensign Insights thank you for the information. 😸
I started with crayola supertips
Her asmr potential how ur the best asmrer
Puneet Kaur haha thank you! Thanks for watching 🤗

Have some tutorial for stabilo boss
roselyn barrion I don’t have those pens! But maybe I should get some 😊
@@EnsignInsights i think its a little bit tricky than crayola color tips. Here in our city, stabilo is the most accessible thats why i tried it as a substitute for calligraphy
Anyway thanks. Your videos help alot😊😊
That’s great they’re accessible! I think that’s the most important thing- use what you have 👍
What journal are you using?
This is a $5 journal I got from Michaels :)
Does the zig fudebiyori easily fray bacause mine is😭😭
It's not the fastest fraying pen I have but it does fray sooner than the crayola since they never fray!
@@EnsignInsights thanks for the tip😉
i need a brush with hair-like thin line, not that wide
I too started with fake calligraphy and cannot get over it
SUPER SHERO sameee
Fake calligraphy is the best! I love it too!
I thought the 2nd pens were the Japanese fude pens
Hehe the only thing i have is the pilot Pen you used at the beggining. Exactly the same ✌.ʕʘ‿ʘʔ.✌
Hey I’m first

Non of these ship to germany so I can't get any of these men....
Try to find Edding brush pens or Faber Castell in Germany 👍
That's not called "Fake Calligraphy". It sounds so weird. It's called " Faux Calligraphy "
I used sharpies ._.
I’m a beginner and I used the crayola and pentel. IT REALLY FOR BEGINNER! if you’re like me please buy this pen🥺
