I LOVE these pens, probably partly because they can write nice smooth lines even at an angle! I apparently have a very unusual pencil grip; I have no idea why, but I’ll hold any pencil with very straight fingers and little use of the thumb, more like a paint brush grip. So I always write at a very low angle, and this pen is superior for that!
Haha, I was also told I have a unique grip (more like - "Why are you writing this way? It's wrong!"), probably in junior high. But now that I paint and draw I don't get that kind of criticism anymore 😉 Thank you for your comment ^_^
I have a set of Faber-Castell artist pens. There are 4 in the set: XS,S,F and M. The outside of each pen is black and the India ink is waterproof. They have a plastic carrying case which makes it easy to keep up with them. So far I like them a lot. Good to see your review, glad you are trying different products.
How long do these pens work?? Is there a way to refill them?? I bought a new pen recently and the ink finished within a day before a complete even ine drawing
I love Peter draws! He is intuitive and talented, and very, very nerdy and funny! I catch him when I am in the mood and get notifications. I am pulling my STA pens. I have been letting watercolor flow-wet in wet, and want to begin doodling around things of interest. I just put all my favorite sizes back in their cup. Out of my easel drawer! My line confidence has improved to the point where I am ready to practice Ink on pages I made, for the sole purpose of mistake-making! Great video. Rock on!
I'll have to give these a try. Kuertake brush pens are my favorite. I prefer them over the FC brush tip pens. They typically have actual bristles opposed to a flexible marker tip.
I love them! I own multiliners of different brands, and in my opinion these ones are the perfect balance of precision and "slide" on the paper. Specially if u are heavy-handed or prefer inking in an angle. I'm very heavy-handed for inking, so I could only ink with a 005 to not screw things up, but with the Fabers I actually use a 02 because I find them so much easier to control than other brands.
Haha that’s great to hear! So I’m definitely not the only one who feels the difference. I have a very similar experience. I usually go up to 0.4 with them, too. Thank you 😊🙏🏼
Liron, thank you for the review. I have a set of Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. These are artist quality and I enjoy using them. I have used other Faber-Castell products; but, not these pens. I'm not sure I can buy them locally; but, one store where I can get some art supplies might be able to get them from one of their suppliers. I do have some of the micron pens, mostly black; but, also one green and one red. They are all water-resistant as far as I can tell. I have watched Peter Draws before. No matter what he says, he is an artist. Doodling is a form of artistic expression.
Hi! Can you give me an idea on how long will the ink last? Does it dry up fast when the cap is not on for a long time? I'm planning to use this pen mainly for writing.
These are my favourite pens ever, I've been using them for a very long time. I prefer them to the Sakuras because I have a very heavy hand and the Sakura nib tends to get shorter and shorter as I draw, while I had a couple of these for some years and it never happened. I am happy to see that other artists use them, as I see a lot of them using Sakuras only. Thanks for the review. :)
I've had a very similar experience with these, compared to the Microns. Happy to hear I'm not the only one. Thank you, and great work on your channel (:
For me very important is how liner holds watercolor and alcohol markers. For example, I know that micron and steadler holds it very well, but FC smudges and blures. It would be nice if you test with "wet" mediums too :)
Yes, sometimes it takes a little testing with different types of a medium to find the one that is perfect for you. I hope you find this one is what you are looking for (:
I believe they aren't. At least I hope so, as I keep buying new ones 😛 (seriously though, they aren't refillable, as far as Faber-Castell's website details).
The aren't sold as refillable, but I refill all my pitt and ecco pigment FC marker. I use a cloth and pliers to remove the bottom cap. Pitt are much easier to remove. It can even be done with fingers. I fill the inner felt piece with a marker ink bottle such as Shinhan or copic.

That’s strange, mine work great with watercolor. Where did you get it? One time I bought Sakura Micron Pigma from ebay and turns out it was fake - and it wasn’t waterproof 😂

Happy you enjoyed it. I will soon do some more tests with watercolors and this pen.
About those pens, are they good with watercolours because I don't want to ruin my art?

Rock those ink lines and let me know how it goes 😁

I love pen brushes! (:
This is one thing I don't use enough at the moment. Will maybe get a good one soon.

I'm curious as to the colored microns, will have to look into them as well.
And yes - Peter's definitely an artist, and a great one at that ^_^

I think like with all pens it’s best to close the cap whenever possible (: But a few minutes should be fine

I need ecco pigment faber castell for my art work. please tell me how much price the pen is?

Will test it with watercolor soon (:
I'm curious too!
Please give me the solution of; my Faber Castell ecco pigment will be dried what I have to do..🥺🥺 help me
Hmmm I heard that from people before, but not sure how this could be solved.
I think getting a new one will be the best solution 😅
Thankyou, I will have to see if the local Art shops near me, have these. Thankyou for your demonstration, and sharing of information. 😃
My pleasure, thank you! 😊
Liron Yanconsky , Your Welcome. 😃
4 years ago and only have 17k views whyyy
😂😂 No worries, many old vids keep getting views ☺️🙏🏼
umm.. can I ask to how to revive them when dry?
I actually have no idea! Sorry 😅 Not sure whether this is possible or not
To be honest, I never bought one but maybe I should get one of these to try how it works and if I can work with it better! :)
Yes, sometimes it takes a little testing with different types of a medium to find the one that is perfect for you.
I hope you find this one is what you are looking for (:
The author forgot to say that if this pen is not used for a long time, then it will hopelessly dry out!
Weird, I haven’t experienced this (:
Are they used for graphite sketches
Not sure what you mean by that, I use them for clean pen sketches (:
Though I may do the guidelines in pencil
@@LironYan I mean the for the dark part of graphite sketches
i wonder if this pens are refillable... the cap can be removed
Do you store your fine liners vertically or horizontally?
Horizontally (:
Does it make a difference? Never though about it haha 😅 But sounds like it could
Can i revive them or refill them if they got dry?
I loved my Faber castell Ecco pen but idk why mine ran out pretty quickly
Mine didn't even work.
0.5 is best btw
(Vexx uses a F one which is 0.5)
What is the difference? Is it thickness?
I still can't draw
is ecco pigment can be refill?
Great question - seems like it cannot be re-filled.
It doesn't mention that on the pen itself, and there doesn't seem to be a place to do that.
Is it paint resistant? Watercolour specifically
Yes! It is 😁 After thorough testing
@@LironYan The moment you said they were, I bought them. Now I'm waiting for inspiration to strike. Thank you so much :3
Are the Eco pigments Faber Castle is refillable
I believe they aren't. At least I hope so, as I keep buying new ones 😛

@@cynthiatellier805 I do same thing for another fineliner pen. It works! I use ink for isographs.

Interesting, I didn't have that problem. Only with one batch of Micron Pigma pens, and they turned out to probably be fakes...
Well, I bought this guy, and it is obviously not waterproof......
That’s strange, mine work great with watercolor. Where did you get it?
One time I bought Sakura Micron Pigma from ebay and turns out it was fake - and it wasn’t waterproof 😂
