I really love the ink they use in these pens, pretty much no shading even on printer paper and quite waterproof. but I hate buying the cartridges. haven't found any inks that come close. concentrating carbon black inks via evaporation have come close in terms of colour saturation but loses the other nice qualities like quick drying and water resistance.
@@sunku260 I've tried the rotring blacks as well. it's pretty close in terms of some ink characteristics but doesn't offer the same density as the pigmented pentel carts. it looks great when used in pens however when used with the brushtips, it lays ink flat and u lose the 'pooling' type coverage if u know what i mean. so it doesn't come out jet black. only remedy ive figured is to dip brushes directly in the ink which defeats the whole brush pen convenience thing.
@@SketchedbySte Kinda if you can handle working with actual ink coming out onto the brush. However, I just wanted to try the Pentel Brush Pen for comparison.
8:20 LOL I've only ever used the Tombow ink markers which are lovely, but they are so gray compared to my Sakura micron pens. I think I want to try the Kuretake or the Pentel. I like the lines you were able to create with them.
Thanks for watching! Yeah it always puts me off certain brush markers when the black seems a bit 'weak' and appears more grey. Kuretake seem like a really great brand too. I actually have a video where I tested a lot of inking pens ( including brush pens ) to see if they were water proof and alcohol marker proof, I'm not sure if it's much use to you, but you might be able to tell which are the darkest blacks in that video too?

Thanks for watching. Yeah I'm not the best with them as I don't use them often, but I have seen some incredible artists using them and it can be pretty mind blowing! :)

Thanks for the comment! I would be interested in knowing if any other companies use similar inks if anyone else knows to leave a comment :)
rotring inks are quite cheap and very waterproof & kuretake black ink as well..

Thanks so much for watching :D
Awesome video - really appreciate the comparison you did with some of the other pen brushes you have - cheers
Thanks for watching!
Heyy this was really helpful~ ...Also, the fat T-Rex cracked me up xD Thanks for the upload!
haha 'I'm not fat, I'm just big boned' Thanks for watching :)
This is by far my favorite Pentel brush pen review. Thank you for the chunky T-Rex!
Glad you like it! XD
I noticed that the Pentel Brush Pen has ink that dried alot quicker than their Art Brush pens which are a bit harder for me to work with.
Hey thanks for leaving a comment. I'm not actually familiar with their art brush pens in comparison, would you recommend them?

Hi from Spain. Could you please tell me if Pentel pocket brush pen is also sold with a fine brush or only medium? Thank you.
Can you just buy the refills without buying the hole pen again?
Yes you can buy refills, I remember seeing a pack of 6 :)
Can the pentel brush pen be used to draw on gesso'd wood?
Good question, I'm afraid to say I'm not even sure what gesso'd wood is to test it sorry!
Him: Apologizes for drawing with brush pen
Him: Draws one of the coolest dinosaurs I've seen.
