Masquepen







Played around with my masquepens. I bought these a while back but never got around to using them. I find them very useful. The fine nibs allow you to create fine lines and dots that would have been quite hard with a brush.

They do take a bit of getting used to though. I made quite a mess before finally getting the hang of it. Here's a tip for first time users. Drive the wire through the nib repeatedly until it goes through smoothly to make sure that nothing is obstructing the nib. Oh and try it with some scrap paper first. It tends to get messy in the beginning :)
