This natural-hair Menso brush is designed specifically for drawing fine, flexible lines, making it perfect for detail work like facial structures. A combination of horse and goat hair offers superior smoothness and flexibility.
I ordered the Kuretake brush to use for during watercolor paintings and for fine
details on the background areas of my assemblage boxes. The brush is light and
resiiant. I liked it so much I ordered the Kuretake fine brush the week after! Both were worth the excellent low price.
The brush handle is long but very light and well balanced in the hand. The
hairs hold a good amount of ink/paint for the size (hairs are about 3/4 inch
long and about 1/8 wide at base) and come to a good point (not quite as sharp as
the sable version). All in all an excellent brush for detail work and/or small
lettering.
Pretty good value for a bold inking tool. The medium horse and goat hair brush
yielded pretty broad tapering strokes. The Encre the Chine dried quickly and had
a matte finish with a little sheen. While a brush pen might be cleaner and more
convenient to use with little prep time required, doodling with the Menso brush
and bottle of ink feels like a nice analog break from the digital tools that
clutter modern life. It takes a bit of getting used to, but line thickness can
be adjusted by balancing the speed and pressure of your brush strokes. The
medium brush head allows for pretty quick coverage of the letter size sheet of
card stock. The medium brush head allows for pretty quick coverage of the letter
size sheet of card stock. I think this Menso brushes would make a fun addition
to your manga making kit.
