I've been using this pen for several years now and swear by it for inking comics. The pen itself is durable and looks beautiful (it's at least as pretty in its design as some Pelikan fountain pens), and the ink is not only very solid black but also smearand bleed-proof on every paper I've tried so far.

One minor quibble with the pen is that I'd sometimes have too much flow of ink to the brush especially if a new cartridge had just been installed. But I learned to control and compensate for this in time. Even with this occasional issue, it still earns an easy five starts in my book.

The real magic is in what it does to the quality of my inking: The lines come alive in a way I can never achieve with a multiliner. I'd occasionally use a traditional brush and bottle of ink for even greater expressiveness, but that setup is a pain to carry, and after a while I switch back to the brush pen as a golden compromise between artistry and convenience.

Oh, and the ink cartridges last a surprisingly long time.

I am a professional freelance artist and carry this pen in a drawing kit around with me. This pen is amazing... dries quickly, makes deep dark lines, and is smear proof and waterproof when dry. I know a lot of comic book artists use it for inking their lines and I can see why. Great for calligraphy, cartooning, or just sketching. I HIGHLY recommend it. It uses fine bristles instead of a felt tip that will wear out easily. I know I will be using it on a regular basis to draw with.

The only thing of note is that when you just get the pen or are replacing the cartridge you have to press mighty hard on the end of the cartridge to hear the "pop" sound that signifies that the seal is broken and the ink is flowing. Once it flows it holds up well.

Tip has real bristles (not felt), and ink is waterproof once left to dry overnight. Best brush pen for cartoonists.

Honest reviews on Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Pen with Refills, 1 Pen and 2 Refills

it's a great pen, and works as described. the only problem i have is that it says it comes with two refills which is misleading because the pen is empty. so really it comes with one refill and one starter cartridge. a small problem, but still annoying.

Pentel is a company I've grown to trust and for the price it's solid if not a top a tier brush pen. I've purchased many brush pens and for the most part a lot them have been glorified sharpies so that's always a bummer. Now let me be frank I love brushes and have yet to run into a brush pen that even comes close to the same feel and but this has been the closet.
