Just wanna comment and say I really enjoy having your videos play in the background, your voice is so soothing and relaxing and I usually learn a decent amount. Keep it up man (:
I just received my Custom 74 in smoke color a couple days ago. Medium nib is ideal (Japanese Medium is similar to Western Fine). Loving it so far. The 74 has exceeded all of my expectations. Purchased from Goulet Pens....great service.
Omg! I agree...that is a beautiful pen. Teoh, pleeeeease, on the next sunny day that you go out sketching...please use this pen so we can see the blue translucency in the bright sun! Hope it's sunny in Singapore? It's pouring cats & dogs here in Cloudy-Southern California! lol ☔️
Pilot Custom 74 is one of my favorites (I have three with different nibs). The con 70 converter is fun to use. There are more Pilots in my collection than any other maker. I bought the Custom Heritage 912 FA after watching your review.
Hey Teoh, Have you ever used a Pilot PO (POST) nib. I've read that it is a very fine and stiff nib, mainly advantageous for drawing when fine extra fine lines are desired.

@@teohyc thanks for your answer. i didnt like namiki falcon much though i like fine tips. so will order one soft fine nib of pilot custom 74. hope that will work better. thanks again.
This is a really beautiful fountain pen! I'm sure you can buy and change the nib. Can you tell me please the ink you used, you mentioned it's waterproof and it looks greyish. Like that! Thank you!
Do shake the noodler's black ink well before filling it as the colour does settle at the bottom. You will get a greyish ink instead deep black ink otherwise.
That's a beautiful fountain pen; but, it's considerably beyond what I can afford to spend on a pen. The lines that you made with it are so nice and smooth.
Great review Teoh - have you used any of the Waterman pens for drawing? They are similar in price to this one (which is about £80 in the U.K.) but designed as high-end writing pens but they have lovely solid medium/broad lines and very strong nibs so maybe are suited to drawing?
+Jasper Daniels You can find Copic markers only. Compare prices on eBay too. As to holding the pencil, there are RUclips videos on this subject. I don't have any video on that.
Jasper Daniels Tip: buy Copic Ciao as they are cheaper (have less ink in them but are refillable and unless you are using them extensively all it means is you need to refill slightly more often) than Copic Sketch and that will save you a lot of money when just starting off. Big craft stores often have coupons and good deals on them - as do Amazon and EBay as Teoh says. Copic Ciao has same superbrush nib and same ink as Copic Sketch, just available in slightly fewer colours and are a little smaller so less ink inside of them. Much more economical.
Great vid. Adding this pen to my short list. I've wanted it for some time but always end up getting something else. Also you should consider wiping your pens down with a microfiber cloth before your vids.
Glad to find your channel. Beautiful pen. It’s a classic look w a modern feel because of the transparency. Great vid.
Beautiful art.

+Yee V Thanks. I always thought I sounded boring 😂
Not at all!
Teoh Yi Chie Not boring. Just very calm and friendly 😁

Thanks for another great video, Teoh. I'd love to see one on your entire fountain collection. Someday, maybe?
+lifeconsidered11 I'll make a video about it in the future.

Which nib size is the best? I want to get one in translucent blue cause I think it looks very nice
It's good to see art still being done by non-electronic means.

I've not heard of that nib before

how do you compare it with namiki falcon?
Namiki Falcon's nib slightly softer

That is a very fancy pen. I want all of them in all the colors. Where can I get some copic markers? How do I hold my pencil to start sketching?

Hello, where did you buy the Pilot Custom pen? Was it in SG and where? Or, from a website? Thank you!
I can't remember where I got it from. You can find it on Amazon, eBay. If in Singapore, Fook Hing and Bras Basah Complex Lv 1
Wow! Teoh you drew that picture fast. What draws have you drew with that pilot pen.
+Jasper Daniels Not a lot of drawings. You can see some on my text review.
Great pen! I think you should make it wetter by shimming the tines slit.👍
ok! What are the videos for sketching? I want to learn to draw cartoons and people and potriats.
+Jasper Daniels I don't have those videos. You might want to check out Mark Crilley or Proko channels
Nicely done. Thanks very much
Try using ink resistant paper. It will perform better
Pretty pen. Thanks.
That fine pilot pen writes great. It writes so thin. Do you often draw with that pen?
+Jasper Daniels I don't use this that often because I prefer thicker lines.
How come the black version is only $80? it's a bit strange isn't it?
Yeah. They charge higher price for the blue demonstrator.
I love your voice
**fountain pen collection
This pen has not yet been signed - there is no sweet spot.
I didnt like it. Too thin lines...
