A Sharpie Ultrafine is all I have right now in terms of fineliners. I just want to be sure I can use it.
Okay, thanks.
Hah, no, I was not joking. Sharpie ultrafines are acceptable.
Thank you for letting me know! I just wanted to be sure.
A sharpie ultrafine is fairly close to fineliner. The big difference is that the tip deteriorates quite quickly unlike a fineliner so your lines lose crispness. So be fine to start but probably best change to fineliner as soon as possible. I think fineliners work out cheaper in the long run too.
Okay, Thanks you for telling me.
The Sharpie Ultra Fine Point is all I have access to at my grocery store, which is THE ONLY place we go to right now. So I hope they're good. They bleed through the copy paper I use, just have to remember to work on top of another paper.
And on price I think a 2pack was cheaper than some of the other pens I tried before these trying times.
OK thanks!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
