- Urban Sketching using a combination fountain pen and watercolor is rapidly gaining popularity. The Sailor Fude De Mannen pen is one of the most popular among Urban Sketchers. As Inktober fast approaches, I give you a closer look at this fountain pen, its pros and cons and a quick demo on one of the many ways to use it. We also take a look at inks and refills.
Making these videos takes a lot of time and effort. If you'd like to show me some love and support, please consider buying me a coffee:

Wow, I love your loose expressive style- thankyou!
You are so welcome!
Fun & informative - enjoyed watching your skills- thank you for sharing 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great demonstration of the pens range
Glad you found it useful.
I love the background! Great art! I just purchased the pink pen and I love it.
Nice!
The Pink one isn't available to me locally. What is its nib angle?
Very good video. Nice picture too! I work in a sports shop and we're just about to start the cricket season here in the UK, you depict the equipment really well.
Thankyou!
Its always cricket season here in Mumbai.
Impressive video! Upon seeing it, I immediately subscribed!
Thankyou & welcome aboard! 🙌
That's great man! Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the review, demonstration and advice 🙂.
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting, thanks for the demo
Thanks for watching!
Love these, but the Navy Blue version works better for me. The default (relaxed position) line of this Green one is a bit too thick for me - I need to hold it too upright to get the narrow line I love. With the blue one I can still get as-wide-a-line-as-I-sometimes-want with a more horizontal position; but a relaxed grip gives me a nice crisp Fine.
I'm the opposite, I prefer thicker lines as my default.
There are actually many more fude nib pens on the market, with a variety of sizes, prices and nib angles. I remember a well known Urbansketcher lending me her fancy, metal body fude pen, with a giant nib. Excellent for working on bigger sheets of paper.
Ah, I found that the converter doesn’t contain much ink capacity. I was so sad. I’ll have to find a syringe to refill my cartridges. I use my pen for urban sketching and ink capacity is critical to a peaceful day of sketching.
Thanks for the comprehensive review and tutorial of the Sailor Fude 55 degree pen. I enjoy mine
You're welcome.
Glad you found it useful.
Very good
Thanks
Nice sketch style ! Which ink is this? It seems,so water proof, any risk of damaging the fountain pen ?🖊️
Its Platinum's Carbon Ink.
There is probably some risk if you don't clean the nib every couple of months. 3+ years of use and mine is working just as well as it did on day 1.
Ur really talented!
Just regular practice, my friend.
What to do when the thin part of the nib when upside down is not working? The cartridge is almost f full though
Try dismantling the pen and soaking the nib in warm, soapy water. I clean the nib once every 40-50 days.
@@linewashbirb1 Thanks I'll try but my sailor is brand new and still with the first cartridge
@@pellier08 I have the same problem from the very first day I got this pen.
I think it depends on how fast I draw upside down. When I draw slow, the ink keeps on flowing.
Probably it also depends on the single item you get. It maybe also a matter of luck I guess.
@@elgatodiaz I've also noticed that when the cartridge is completely full it works better upside down. An that if I use the pen the right way long enough then I gets better upside down too.
Plz,give sketches of
Nature landscaping
Abs buildings in urban
Rural areas also....
