I’ve used both sets of pens! I like the Pentels slightly better because of the brighter colours and blending with watercolours. The Tombow Fudenosuke has the firmness in the hard tips which helps my calligraphy feel steady. Soothing to watch your handwriting and calligraphy, these are pretty lovely Heidi! Appreciate the synopsis 🎨
I have the pentel pens and i LOVE them. They were cheaper than the tombows and better/bigger color selection. Another good way to make sure you're not getting the wrong ones (because they look just like the felt tip versions), is they should say Pentel Touch brush pens. I was able to get a 12 pack and then a 6 pack but I wish I would have just gotten the whole 24 pack to begin with. I've only been using them for a month and my hand lettering has gotten so much better since. I had no idea you could watercolor with them so I'm definitely going to be trying that! I also have the zebra fude brush pens which are very much like the tombows because they have harder/finer tips and softer/bigger ones.
@@byheidigrace yeah they actually have three different types of tips. I have the extra fine(hardest)and the fine tip but there's also a medium one. I really like using them and I've even heard a few people say they prefer them to the tombows. They're a little cheaper too!
Greetings. I really enjoyed your video. I am curious about the paper you used to demonstrate the Pentel vs Tombow Fudenosuke style pens. Which brand and type of paper did you use for this demonstration? Thank you in advance.
Glad you enjoyed the video! The paper I used in this video is Master's Touch marker paper from Hobby Lobby. (I don't know if you can get it anywhere else.) Another great marker paper I like to use is Canson XL marker paper.
Thanks for this. I’ve only used the Fude pens and have been deciding whether or not to get the Pentel ones, and just went for it. Just a few corrections though. It’s pronounced hoo-deh-no-skeh and the barrel of the hard tip pens are actually dark blue, while the soft tip pens are forest green. Holding them under a light enables the color to show more, then you won’t be able to unsee the blue and green barrels lol I hope this helps!
I didn't expect to be pronouncing Fudenosuke right, lol. And yes, I know the hard tip has a dark blue barrel and I have noticed the green undertones of the soft tip. In the video I was referring to the black ink color, not the color of the pens themselves.

Have you used the Pentel Brush Sign Pens or Tombow Fudenosuke brush pens? Which do you like better?

basically we should just all have both, right? Haha
FYI: Kuretake also makes fude brush pens, including a fine point which is thinner and stiffer than the Tombow, Pentel, or Zebra pens.
This is a great review! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you great review. I’m a beginner so can wait to try the tomboy pens😊

ooh yes! I have heard about the Zebra fude pens but haven't tried them yet. I didn't know they also had different kinds of tips!

@@misslayer999 good to know! I have so many pens but I'm sure at some point I'll be trying the Zebra pens too lol.

I use the Tombow Fudenosuke hard-tip brush pens on Canson XL Marker paper for calligraphy.
Love that combo! Canson marker paper is great.
Helpful to know! Thks.
