Many people turn to art to express themselves and their feelings. There are multiple mediums that people use to create their pieces, and one of the most highly sought-after ones is ink. Unlike ballpoint or fountain styles, art pens are specifically designed to withstand the general wear and tear associated with creativity. Let’s dive in to learn more about these pens and how artists use them to create masterpieces.
What Are Art Pens?
Rather than being one specific thing, art pens can be considered an overarching term that encompasses a variety of pens that allow users to produce a consistent line. Under this umbrella term are categories such as technical, brush, illustration, and drawing pens. Luckily, most of these can be used interchangeably depending on the user’s preferences and can also be leveraged together to create images with varying line styles and sizes.
Art pens allow for a greater amount of control and offer artists the opportunity to create a higher amount of detail than regular office pens.
What Should You Look For When Purchasing Artist’s Pens?
Most users will want to look for acid-free options that work on all types of art paper. In addition, it’s important to many users that their pens are smudge-free. Beyond those points, there are a few key things to keep in mind when buying art pens:
- Point Type: Art pens come in a variety of point sizes including extra-fine, fine, medium, and broad options that go from 0.2 mm to 3 mm. Additionally, there are specialized tips such as brush, bullet, chisel, and nib styles that artists can choose from.
- Pack Size: Artist’s pens can be purchased individually or in sets of various sizes. The largest sets feature up to a few dozen and are perfect for busy offices or classrooms. Other, smaller sets with less than a dozen can be a good fit for individual artists or studios.
- Color Options: With sets, customers can enjoy an array of colors. They can also purchase specific shades individually or in smaller packs as well. Additionally, there are artistic pens in specialty shades such as metallic, glitter, and neon, that can add a pop of fun to art pieces.
- Special Features: Many pens come with special features that can increase their value and usability. Some styles are dual-ended, while others are refillable and environmentally conscious. There are even erasable options and ones with replaceable nibs for continual use.
What Brands of Art Pens are Available?
Staples has a huge selection of high-quality art pens available for purchase, including selections from the most popular brands of artistic pen manufacturers. Top brands of art and drawing pens include Faber-Castell, Pentel, Sakura, and Tombow.
What Can You Create with Artistic Pens?
The sky’s the limit in terms of what you can create with art pens. With an art pen, you can produce a creative drawing, a technical blueprint, or you can simply add flair to your writing. In addition to artists, art pens are a favorite of architects, engineers, graphic designers, teachers, and others.
A few of the common uses for art pens include:
- Sketching
- Illustrating
- Cartooning
- Drafting
- Editing
- Journaling
- Scrapbooking
- Calligraphy
