Zebra Comic Pen Nib - Hard G - Pack of 10

My great grand daughter has introduced me to Manga. We spend a few hours each week together. She’s 10. Seems like I buy the goods, she shows me the characters, we draw them together. She’s never used a dip pen. I’m real old school. Learned to write with pen and nip, mixing my own blue-black ink. Nice to have the feel back again, along with the ink stains

Definitely glad I invested in these (I’ve only used one nib so far). Wish I’d got on the dip pen bandwagon years ago. I noticed this was the hard version of the G nib, the regular G being unavailable at this store. I thought I’d give it a shot anyway as I’d seen it was recommended for newbies due to its hardness compensating for new users’ tendency to press too hard and lose some control over the line width (apparently ‍♂️). Well, I must not be a newbie—or I must just have a soft touch—because I reckon I could sure use a softer pen nib for more expressive linework. Still, I’m giving these 5 stars as they are exactly what they promised to be, and I can get some VERY nice fine lines with it. Love the combo with the Tachikawa Comic Pen Nib Holder and the Kuretake Black ZIG Cartoonist Ink, currently drawing on 300gsm Bristol board.
