Hey sweetie. I have the little short petite 3 that u had a hard time holding and I found if u put the cap on the back of it as u write it makes it perfect. Hope that helps. Love your videos. 😊😊❤️
Oh that’s perfect!! I never even thought of that. Thank you! I love those pens even more now because that was my only hesitation with them. Thanks for sharing! 😊👍
@@EnsignInsights oh yes! I was going to suggest the same thing! I didn’t know they had a petit brush, so I’m ordering it, but I use the petit fountain pen and keep the cap on the end!
When you had the Kuretake and you go, "this is literally the only thing I can read from the package" omg that is a MOOD 🤣 I buy all these pens both online and in stores, and when they are Japanese-based, I haven't the foggiest idea what the packaging says 😂 They could be writing insulting things to me and I'd have no clue, I can't understand it but I love my pens! Great video so far, I just had to comment that when you said that about the packaging lol!
Haha you totally understand!! I feel like I need to learn Japanese just to read the packaging 😂 Thank goodness for the sticker on the back from the local art store 😅 Thanks for laughing about it with me! 🙌
@@EnsignInsights I sometimes get hesitant buying products that have the package in all Japanese because I have no clue if I'm buying the right thing or not, but with videos like yours at least I know what to expect with the pens/products, so I appreciate you! 😆
Great video and excellent review. I enjoyed your live talking as I’m able to see you use the pen and hear your opinion as you use it. I’m a lefty and appreciate you keeping us in your reviews. I’m new with brush lettering and have bought several pens to find what I am comfortable with. Thanks again!
Not all brush pens are designed for the same type of calligraphy, I think the Sakura one, without any actual hard plastic holding its nib, is designed for Chinese/Japanese/Korean type of calligraphy.
Thanks for the video!! Super helpful! I feel like I like the real time talking, but it confused me a bit because I wasn't sure when it was voiceover and when it was real-time. Maybe you should say something or do something to indicate that there will be a switch between them? Thanks again for creating this awesome content!!!
I don’t know if someone all ready said it, but the Sakura pigma. Brush is so hard to control because it literally has brush bristles. I was bummed when I bought the full color pack of them and with the mini pilot pen, it’s a lot easier to hold it when you put the cap on at the end! Haha just a heads up
Hi Sarah. Great video. I remember you saying that buying pens would become kinda like an addiction😅... you were correct. I'm still a struggling beginner at lettering but... I've become quite good at shopping for and buying new pens. I wish the writing part was as easy as the buying was.. but alas.. FYI The Fudegokochi Kuretake pens are currently unavailable. I did try the link to the Marvy LePenFlex using your link and the first thing I saw when I got to they'd website was " This page is unavailable". That's OK... that's a message to me from the Universe to stop buying and do more practicing!😊
I loved your video! I know I’m a little late to your video but I preferred you talking in real time because I felt that it got your reaction more and I really enjoyed that. It’s like a true review. Thanks for this review!!!
I am entirely self-taught-I struggled to follow workbooks so practiced daily until I improved. Recently, I became frustrated when my lettering suffered drastically with the Sakura Pigma Brush. I found myself thinking I simply wasn’t yet “good” enough to handle it properly. So learning that you disliked it and found it so difficult made me feel much better! Your taste in pens isn’t simply educational but inspirational :)
Oh awesome! Thanks for sharing that with me! I'm so glad this helped! It's definitely important to try different pens since what works for someone else may not work for you. That's great you are finding what works for you! :)
Hi, thank you for these video’s. I bought a package of the pentel, because of your last video. Ik hasn’t arrived yet. Now seeing these new ones I would like to buy more, but I’ve never even done this before. I don’t know if I will be any good at this. My daughter likes handlettering, she will help me. Sure like your video’s Love Saski
Love this video Sarah this is such a helpful resource hoping to try some more of these brush pens such as the prismacolor and marvy le pen flex the winsor and Newton look awesome thank you !
I tried starting with the copics (I found the medium to be easier to use than the small, but they were both frustrating for me as a noob) since I already had them from art stuff, now I'm glad I decided to order the tombow the other night. Thank ya kindly for doing all this!
Oh that’s interesting that the medium was a little easier than the small. Maybe I need to try it since the small wasn’t my favorite! I’m glad you found this helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this! I agree with you on the plain Sakura brush - it was disappointing and it comes in many of the combo packs. I would love to have assorted colors in earth tones so thanks for the heads up on the Marvy LePen line. As for the Pilot Petite 3, try capping it. If it fits snugly, it might increase the length to improve comfort.
I don’t know why the Sakura brush is so weird! I’m glad you agree! And thanks for the trick with the Pilot petit 3! That’s such a good idea and would make them perfect!
Hi hun, do you think the pilot fude makasi fine is the same tip as the pilot futayaku fine tip? I love the futayaku but only want the fine tip. Also I noticed in this video and your last small brush pen video, that the Kelly creates barrel, lids and tips lool just like the zebra pens??
So love your reviews, wish I would have found you earlier... bought the kelly creates dreams pens, and watercolor pens I’m still on the fence with them bought big pack so far I don’t know if it’s me or pen performance...
I like the Kelly creates small brush pens but the dream pens aren’t my favorite! It’s probably not you! I’ll share about those soon. I haven’t tried those watercolor pens!
I really like the Kelly Creates small pens, as well as the small brush on dream pen, however notice the ink is different in dream pens. I’ve ordered the Pentel’s you recommended hoping I like them as much as Kelly small. Thank you so very much!
First, love the vid. Second; I got some large brush pens a few months ago but it was a cheap knockoff of tombow, it frayed in about 3 weeks time so I started watching videos to see what type of lens I should use and how to letter, I’m getting better but not at all good. I narrowed it down to finding smaller nibs and practice from that. I’m about to buy the tombow fude. I’m good at downstrokes but my hand cannot take upstrokes, they start getting shaky and after the finishing piece, I can see almost NO difference in upstrokes. Would you say I should get soft or hard nibs to practice? Also, what practising methods do you recommend?
You may want to try both soft and hard! They are different and everyone has a different preference depending on what works with your style. As for practice, watch videos and learn as much as you can. You can also get some worksheets to practice with. 👍
does somebody know a good brush pen i can draw with copic on and it doesnt lose pigemts while earasing pencil??? so hard! And I mean brush pens like the tombow, with a plastic wrap to make it more stable
I would like to buy the pilot petit 3 mini fude brush pen. It does not seem to be available. Would you know where i can purchase it? Also your link for the pentel pen is going to the sign pen. I thought you had reviewed the pentel fude brush pen. Which pentel pen is the one you are suggesting for beginner?I am btw a lefty.
Hi there! The link I have for the Pentel touch brush pens is correct! They’re called different things but just look for the brush tip. My link is correct. For pilot petit 3, I don’t know! Maybe try Jetpens.com!
Thanks for the great video. You make it really clear what you are trying to achieve and do it brilliantly. One of the first brush pen sets I bought was the Sakura Pigma brushes. They nearly convinced me to give up but I did keep going and if you can letter with them, you can write beautifully with almost anything. But I do agree with you - use the Pentel Touch, or the Tombow Fudenosuke instead. Your life will be much easier, and just as beautiful. As a side topic, do you find that some pen tips break down faster? My initial set of Tombow Fudenosuke colours (bought a few months ago) are pretty much destroyed now, though the Touch pens are still fine. Likewise Tombow Dual Brush pens wear fast. Perhaps I'm too heavy handed?
dean smith I’ve found that same thing with Pentel and Tombow! It’s ok to be heavy handed, as long as we have good pens that can hold up! Thanks for sharing!
Ooh I have seen those before and I want to try them since I know they are a good option for some of my international friends. I’ll add them to my list 😊

It's the same with other mini fountain pens :)
@@EnsignInsights oh yes! I was going to suggest the same thing! I didn’t know they had a petit brush, so I’m ordering it, but I use the petit fountain pen and keep the cap on the end!

Somehow, i think that you will be good at food ASMR
That was the first thing I thought when she started talking!
I really enjoy your videos theyre so well done and your voice is very relaxing im so glad youtube put you in my recommended ❤️
Rebecca Aww thank you for saying that! Thanks for watching! 💕
I'm soooo exited to buy the pentel touch, but here in brazil things are mostly expensive so it'll take a time for me to get it

This video combines two of my favourite things: brush pen reviews and a pleasant voice
🥰🥰🥰
:-) Thanks for the comparison. I’m all for hard tips only. Easier to control the upstroke IMHO.
Yes! Hard tips are great to get thin upstrokes!
The kuretake no. 14's brush tip looks sooo cute to me.😊
I love how comprehensive your reviews are!
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
I love the superfine ones. So delicate and pretty

you are supposed to put the cap at the bottom of the pilot petit so that it could act as an extension of its body.
Yes! I have done that since this video, and now I love it! Thanks for sharing!
@@EnsignInsights you're welcome. i'm glad you figured it out. it's a really nice pen but it runs out of ink pretty fast.

Did the pilot petit3 last long?
Good question! I still have it and it works great after all this time! Although I don't use it as often as some of my other pens.
try camlin brush markers please you will have to order it from amazon
Ooh I have seen those before and I want to try them since I know they are a good option for some of my international friends. I’ll add them to my list 😊
