Felt Tip Pens
They were once considered exclusively a child’s domain. But felt tip pens are fast becoming a must-have item for artists, illustrators and adults with creative flair. These nifty writing implements are incredibly versatile. Felt pens can be used to sketch, draw comics, manga, colouring-in and for special effects, such as colour mixing.
A felt tip marker adds some pizzazz to any art project. These markers are simple to use, dry fast and can be used on the go.
Benefits of felt tip pens
Artists all over the country are discovering the great versatility of the felt tip pen. There are several reasons we believe you should choose a felt marker:
- No bleed-through – Felt markers contain water-based ink. This ensures that markings will not penetrate the paper.
- Quick drying ink – This makes felt markers perfect for journaling, note-taking and other long documents
- Various tip sizes – Felt tip markers have different tip sizes. The chisel tips are optimal marking and highlighting tools. Markers with two tips are fantastic for different creative endeavours (i.e. colouring, drawing, scrapbooking, etc.)
Types of felt pens
Felt pens have various types, suitable for different purposes. These include permanent markers, non-permanent markers, fineliners, textas and much, much more.
Uses for felt pens
Felt tips are the ultimate multi-purpose pen. With a regular felt tip, you can satisfy your inner artist, by drawing, hatching, colouring two-dimensionally, sketching and hatching. By using a mechanical pencil for the preliminary drawing, you can erase mistakes and perfect the sketch, before tracing the outline with a felt tip pen.
Fineliner pens come in a vast range of colours, including pastels, in widths from 0.08mm to 0.03mm. This makes them excellent for sketchnoting, doodling, journaling or lettering.
