Faber Castell -
Big Brush Pitt Pens
Graphic artists, Manga
artists, cartoonists, illustrators and
anyone involved in the design industry would
be advised to check out the Pitt Big Brush
Pen. The first thing I noticed about this
marker was it's thick and chunky size. It
looks a little bit like a kids jumbo marker.
But, that's the only comparison that can be
made with a kids marker. Everything else
about these pens is professional quality.
The reason for the fat size is, simply, ink
capacity. The Big Brush Pen holds 4 times
the ink that a normal Pitt Pen does. Even if
you don't colour large areas in one sitting
the Big Brush Pen is a more economical way
to buy your pigment inks.
Let's talk about the inks. The inks are the
same high-quality as the smaller Pitt Pens.
They are pigmented, Indian Inks that are
light-fast, acid-free and bleed-resistant.
This high quality permanency makes them
suitable for any professional application.
The inks come in 48 strong colours that
pretty much cover the whole spectrum.
The nibs on the Big Brush Pens are an
excellent shape for illustrators. The point
comes down to a super-fine, pin-size that is
perfect for any detail work. The nib is long
too. It is much longer than the typical
bullet-tip marker. This gives a nice, wide
line with any side sweeping motion.
Sketching with these pens is just plain fun.
These nibs coupled with the strong colours
really gets the creative juices flowing.
Have a go.
