I should have added - store them upside down, point down. Gravity helps with the ink flow.

These pens are outstanding, a must for every cartoonist and ink artist, and still an amazingly a well-kept secret. The control is far superior to the Faber-Castell brush pen, the colors are crisp and sharp, and they make it much easier to get that ever-elusive sharp point. They can also be used to accent work done by Prisma or Copic Markers. I've done my last three comic pages using the black - so much faster and sharper, and with more variation and flair. I'm also using them for convention appearances for quick sketches and sketch cards. Do yourself a favor and scoop up a set.

These pens are great for inking, although the nib is a little soft for my personal taste (I'm heavyhanded). I've tested a lot of fude pens, and while this isn't my overall favorite, the fact that they are not only affordable but available in a wide variety of colors makes them an enticing addition. If you're an artist looking to add a little color to your sketches, the Pentel Touch is a strong choice.

As a beginner at brush lettering, I've been using the Pentel Fude Touch brush pen for daily practice and I enjoy using it! It took some time getting the hang of managing the weight I put on each stroke, but the tip is firm enough that I'm able to control my strokes after getting the hang of the pen. I'll eventually try others, but this is one pen I'm happy to use and recommend.

I love this pen and the others I got with my order. I wanted to try brush calligraphy so I went out to my local craft supply store and bought what they had. The tip on that pen was too brush-like and my attempts were awful. I decided to buy a few of the pens I read about from other brush calligraphers and I am so glad I did! The tip on this pen is wonderful. I have been using it now for a couple of days and it is still working great.
