- Urban Sketching using a combination fountain pen and watercolor is rapidly gaining popularity. The Sailor Fude De Mannen pen is one of the most popular among Urban Sketchers. As Inktober fast approaches, I give you a closer look at this fountain pen, its pros and cons and a quick demo on one of the many ways to use it. We also take a look at inks and refills.

Very good video. Nice picture too! I work in a sports shop and we're just about to start the cricket season here in the UK, you depict the equipment really well.
Thankyou!
Its always cricket season here in Mumbai.
I love the background! Great art! I just purchased the pink pen and I love it.
Nice!
The Pink one isn't available to me locally. What is its nib angle?
Interesting, thanks for the demo
Thanks for watching!
That's great man! Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Ur really talented!
Just regular practice, my friend.
Love these, but the Navy Blue version works better for me. The default (relaxed position) line of this Green one is a bit too thick for me - I need to hold it too upright to get the narrow line I love. With the blue one I can still get as-wide-a-line-as-I-sometimes-want with a more horizontal position; but a relaxed grip gives me a nice crisp Fine.
I'm the opposite, I prefer thicker lines as my default.
There are actually many more fude nib pens on the market, with a variety of sizes, prices and nib angles. I remember a well known Urbansketcher lending me her fancy, metal body fude pen, with a giant nib. Excellent for working on bigger sheets of paper.
What to do when the thin part of the nib when upside down is not working? The cartridge is almost f full though
Try dismantling the pen and soaking the nib in warm, soapy water. I clean the nib once every 40-50 days.
@@linewashbirb1 Thanks I'll try but my sailor is brand new and still with the first cartridge
@@pellier08 I have the same problem from the very first day I got this pen.
I think it depends on how fast I draw upside down. When I draw slow, the ink keeps on flowing.
Probably it also depends on the single item you get. It maybe also a matter of luck I guess.
@@elgatodiaz I've also noticed that when the cartridge is completely full it works better upside down. An that if I use the pen the right way long enough then I gets better upside down too.
