Brush Pens

A brush pen carries a flexible tip that thickens and thins with pressure — one pen covers what a fixed-width marker needs three sizes to do. This wall is Staedtler's brush range: lettering, colouring and illustration lines.

Start with a small set; brush pens are about control, and most people settle on a handful of colours they actually letter with. See art markers, fibre tip markers and coloured pencils.
