Urban Sketching - Which Pen is Best? Here are my Reviews on 5 Different Brands!

Thanks for tuning in to watch my urban sketching, ink and watercolour tutorial! Don't forget to check out my channel where I have hundreds of different urban sketch tutorials, as well as other watercolour and ink sketching guides for everyone from beginners to more advanced!

If you'd like to support my channel you can buy me a 'Coffee' on KoFi - ko-fi.com/tobyurbansketch
When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!




There are a huge range of fine liners out there to choose from, and the choice can be a little bit daunting, or exciting!

In my collection I have a range of different pens from Rotring, Derwent Line Makers, Staedler Fine liners, Winsor and Newton and Unipin. All of these are waterfast/waterproof pens, suitable for urban sketching, watercolour sketching and pen and wash/ink and wash techniques.

I'm not going to pretend to be an absolute authority on which pen is best, but over literally thousands of hours of using these different pens I do have a few thoughts and opinions I thought I could share with you!
