It all began in an A.C.Moore store back in middle school when I first laid eyes upon a pack of Triplus Fineliners from the brand Staedtler, they worked like a dream and I've been using them ever since...
This post isn't about those; this post is about the Pigment Brush Pens that were released last year. I had received two packs of these pens (Though they are definitely more like markers) in the Pastel and Nature themes as they and Basic were the only ones available at the time. Through rigorous coloring and numerous meltdown-fueled artwork they hold up fantastic despite worn tips and absolute draining of their ink barrels onto the page.
Most people compliment their "light fastness" or blending with each other and watercolor paints in these professional looking environments... I am not a professional, I draw vegetables and dragons and I have an absolute blast doing it. These brushes go surprisingly well overtop the lines of Fantasia Colored Pencils (The regular kind, the watercolor pencil sets get really finicky.) I absolutely adore these brushes and use them every day.
The barrel of the brush also has a nice texture, pleasant to scratch my fingertips against, I presume they use a specific mold for these or a 3d printer for them.
The Gentle Watchers upon my desk were gifts from a very dear friend
These brushes (Especially the green ones) have been put through rigorous and hellish conditions by me, and they hold up beautifully
