This video is a beginners guide fountain pens for Urban Sketching. I go through the benefits and construction of pens, the different nib types and also the best types of pens to buy.
I talk about my experience starting to draw and sketch with fountain pens and the best pens I found to use along with the best ink and filling methods.
So if you are a budding urban sketcher or beginner artist and want to know how to get started with fountain pens then please have a watch.
I really hope you enjoy this fountain pen guide and it helps you build your layers in watercolour.
