Oh Becky I could watch you sketching all day long . Just simple things sketched by you looks amazing . Thank you for what you're doing
A little bag of nuts never looked so good😅 great explanation. Thank you, Becky
Hi Becky 👋
I always love your drawings. Thank you for your clarification on the fude nip fountain pen. And drawings ink. You're the best teacher 👍.
WOW. You make painting looks so easy. Love your drawings.
Thank you Becky, I have both of these pens and have been experimenting with both. Your video, this one and others, are very informative.
Very very informative. 💜💚💙🎨
Hi Becky, I bought the green pen and the Noodler’s brown, on your recommendation in another video but so happy to see the converter. I was so confused being new to this kind of pen. Works so great! You are really a favorite for me and I’m learning! Thank you.
Big thanks for being so clear and demonstrating how to fill the pen converter with ink.....so very helpful! You are the best teacher! 🥀🥀🥀
Thank you for showing us the difference between the two pens. It is always a joy to watch you sketch and paint as you can make the most simple objects look amazing.
Love your paintings! This was fun to watch. Thank you for demonstrating the pens too!
Wow, those current prices! That's how businesses ruin themselves ... people stop buying since it's no longer worth the cost. Sad.
I have 4 of those pens, 2 of each. One package (recent) contained one of each for around $17 USD (backups). The other 2 I bought (year or so ago) individually for around $11 USD each. I love these pens for sketching.
Nice demo
Very interesting! Love how you make those plastic bags with shades.❤
Thank you! Very helpful fude fountain pen information. And as always, great sketches.
I just bought a couple of these pens on a whim. I was hoping to do some lettering....now I just want to draw!
Great 👍 thanks 🙏❤️
You ARE Good!
I did order . I was searching to find waterproof ink . Thank you 😊.
Excellent teacher♥️😊
This video is very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for the demonstration. It is good to see how these pens work.
Also in the US noodles ink brown #41 was $16. And the green pen $11.98!
Hi ..I’m also in the US and can only find the #41 for $27. Can you provide the link for the $16 Amazon price.. It is available on other sites such as Cheap Joes but shipping is almost $10.. Thank so much for your help!!!
“Was”. It’s $19 as I type this.
Amazon pricing rules are ridiculous. Shop around. There are plenty of other places that will be happy to sell you authentic goods for less than Amazon and won't charge you $15 US a month to do it.
Thanks for sharing I had been looking into foundation pens and ink😊 appreciate this!
Thank you! Great demo 😀🙌🏽
Great video Becky. I love these pens.
I have a pink Sailor with a 40 degree nib but I’ve ordered a 55 for the greater line variety!
OhmyGod I just bought one and haven't figured out how to use it!!! Thank you!😊
Thank you. I found this very informative
You do such a good job explaining as you work! Thank you~
Thanks for the comparison, Becky!
Thank you! I love these pens and you were the one that introduced me to them.
Love your style! So inspiring.
Thank you, that clearly explains which pen I should get. I’m excited to try this pen!
Becky I recommend using a syringe with a blunt needle to fill your converter, it is much easier, cleaner and you can get a full fill in your converter
Thank you for your recommendation!
Thanks for making this video! I recently got the green Sailor pen and I'm having fun testing it out. Like you said, the lines are organic and make for interesting marks. 🙏🏼
Good, useful information, Thanks Becky
Beautiful page. Thank you for the interesting information regarding the Sailor's Fude Fountain Pen.
Thanks for the informative video! I have just started trying the Sailor 55nib pen so this came at the perfect time for me! 😊👍
I have the fude in pink, 40 degrees, it’s amazing!
If you invert the pen (roll it 180 degrees from the normal) you will get a very fine line.
Inflation: illegal taxation 😮 Thank you for the demonstration. I want to order thos Sailor pen but wasn't sure about the different nibs.
Thanks! Great demonstration.
Very nice. I've just bought the Green version and liking how smooth it is. There is a little adaptation to this pen but the versatility of it is what makes it. Your video is also entertaining with how you work.
Thank You.
Becky, I appreciate your great review, tutorial, and comparison of this type of pen.
Thank you for sharing - I just ordered some of the brown ink - love your drawing!
This video is fantastic Becky! Your demonstration is so clear, and you explanation is helpful! Thanks for making this fun video😁
Turned out great! I have both fountain pens - I really enjoy using them, especially the green (55° bent nib) one. Love your work & appreciate your videos! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Très intéressante vidéo. Enfin mes"fuse pens" vont servir .Merci beaucoup et bonne journée .(.Belgium.) ✒️🐯🦜
Platinum Carbon Black is a good waterproof ink option. 60ml
Jet Pens has all the items too. Just checked. Great video as always. :) Thanks for the demos. I have the green one and was curious about the other one.
I’m really enjoying narrating through the painting . It’s very helpful. Do you ever use traditional paint brushes? Love ur sketches ❤
Becky, there are some retailers that can price Noodler's for a lot less. In fact, Midico, a stationary store, carries it for $21.95 CDN in their physical stores. I bought mine at Wonderpens in 2021 #41 Brown for $11.95 CDN on clearance.
Thanks for the info!
Will be interesting to see which one you'll be using the most from now on...
Loved this video-first-time visitor. Subscribed! Great info about the pens. But I want to ask you to drop into your optometrist and get your glasses straightened because it can cause tremendous eye strain & headaches over time. I was visiting my vet with my cat 🐱 one day, and she told me my own glasses needed to be leveled! she warned me about eye strain & chronic headaches she had experienced. 😮 We sketchers need to take care of our eyes AND each other!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your kindness! 💗💗💗 Have a lovely week!
Try Liquidraw Acrylic waterproof ink, can be used in calligraphy pens and a fraction of the cost of Noodlers! 😊
Thanks for the tip!
Hi Becky - if you can get Rohrer & Klinger Sketch inks - they‘re waterproof and come in many colors and they are fountain pen friendly. Or Octopus Sketch and Write ink. Wonder Pens has them for 22$ Canadian for 50 ml.
Thank you for your recommendations!
Thanks for the pen demo- the ink is expensive 😮
New to this channel. I love both of these pens but prefer the green one, I like the marks it makes. So far only used with non waterproof inks which is ok for me. That Noodlers ink is very expensive, wish it came in smaller sizes. I love your style of working. No option to subscribe, but I will look out for your content. Glad you reminded me of these pens, for some reason I have not thought about them recently, I need a dark grey ink for them.
Hi Becky, regarding the ink price. This happens a lot on Amazon. If the product is out of stock from your regular supplier then Amazon automatically directs you to a different supplier, which is usually a higher price. I just checked now and the ink in that brown is $33👍🏻
I noticed this when my usual $35 watercolour block sent me to a shop where it was $50!!! A couple of weeks later my regular supplier was back in stock and all was good 😁
Good point! Yes, it's better to wait until the thing is back in stock again.
@@BeckyCao I just love your videos by the way. They are so peaceful and you are so unaffected and come across as such a genuine kind hearted person. I really admire your passion for both art and life ! 💕😊
I agree. She's a treasure. 😊 @@ErinEnoArt
the Brown one is 18.49. prices vary from different colors.
Ive been watching videos of your sketches and they're so beautiful. Also the sailor fudes seem like very interesting fountain pens.
Which one do you prefer between the two? The 40 or 55?
Thank you so much 😀 I like both the 40 and 55 tips, depending on the subject matter, I switch between the two.
Thank You for the information about your fountain pens; how do you store them? I was recently gifted my first fountain pen , a platinum preppy, and I'm not sure how to store it until I reuse it again. At present time, I store it with the cap up.
Also thanks for sharing the info about the last page can have sizing problems. 😊🌟
Hello, just in case you never received answer to your question, although I’m not Becky, I do own some fountain pens, You should store your fountain pens horizontally when you’re not using them. Also, you will soon find that it is important to always keep your pens capped when not in use. 😊
@@reneethomas1683 Thank You. That explains why the ink the fountain pen is almost not there when I stored it with the cap facing up.
I have Markers, so I know to keep caps on when not in use. Thanks for sharing this information 😊🌟
Hoi can i also use the pen lefthanded
On Amazon I bought the Sailor Fude De Mannen Bamboo Green for $11.60 and the Converter was $7.00. Thanks for telling us the cartridges that comes with the pen aren't waterproof ink because everything is written in Japanese.
Becky, could the yellow ochre you are using be substituted by raw sienna?
Yes, I think you can!
Hi Becky. I recently bought the blue version of this pen and converter. My question is, approximately how long between refills? In other words how fast does it use up the ink inside the converter?
There is no absolute answer. ☺️ It really depends on how big your drawings are, how much lines and solid shading areas you create with the pen. And how often you draw. For me, It takes about 2 pages of drawing on my A4 size sketchbook to refill the pen. Which is about 2-3 days. If you are using a smaller sketchbook/paper, then you get more pages done before the ink runs out, and more days.
@@BeckyCaoThanks
Which one do you like?
Both are very nice!
the ink in Amazon US only 14.99 for 3 Oz
I am always worried about using waterproof ink in fountain pens. Have you any thoughts on this? Do you thoroughly wash out the pen after every drawing session? If I use non-waterproof ink (when I'm not painting over), can I safely leave ink in the pen or would I need to wash that out too?
I'd like to have a fude pen in my sketching kit I can just pick up and go out for the day, without having to fill it each time and/or wash it out asap.
I have not washed out the ink in my fude fountain pen since I started using it last year in July, about 10 months already. The Noodler's ink brown #41 I'm using is not clogging up the pen.
@@BeckyCao Thank you Becky. that has put my mind at rest and I will now have some experimentation with a selection of inks.
Order noodler's from jet pens. $15 usd
It appears in the art section that you're applying watercolours immediately after your inking. Was there a cut there? Did you have to wait for this ink to dry?
I don't need to wait for the ink to dry. Painting immediately is fine, and this is only ok for the Noodler's brown #41 ink, the other colors from this brand mostly are not waterproof at all.
I this ink cost $20 - USA
You can never have too many fountain pens.
The Noodlers Ink creator is a bit of an unpleasant dude. Won’t be buying any of his wares. Would love to find an alternative.
