#Zebra pens free#
As my primary inking pen, I’ve filled up my Jetpens cart with a dozen Tombow fudes at once before, and I always use it to tip my order into the free shipping zone. Jetpens has both the Tombow Fudenosuke and the Zebra disposable brush pens at $2.50, so it’s really whatever with which you want to go with there. For the most part, I can’t actually tell the difference between them…? Amazing! I actually was so excited by this discovery that after playing around with the Zebra super fine for a night, I went back to Daiso the next day and bought a half dozen more of the pen because $1.50 is such a good price! I then used the Zebra pen exclusively while I was at IKKiCON 8, so all the commissions I did at the con were done with the Zebra instead of my usual Tombow. The Zebra being more similar to the Tombow was a surprise. But the smeary ink didn’t work out for me in the end. When I first got the Kuretakes, I thought for a moment that maybe they’d replace the Tombow as my favourite disposable brush pen because the finest of the Kuretake fudes is finer than the finer of the two Tombow fudes, and I like fine lines. The ink in both the Zebra and the Tombow is a bit lighter, but they dry quickly, while the Kuretake fudes have very wet, dark ink that I end up smearing a lot. The two larger sizes are thicker than I normally want my lines to be, but the smallest size, the super fine, felt pretty similar to my beloved Tombow fude. Sizes go clockwise from upper left: medium, fine, super fine. Zebra brush pens and watercolor, on bristol. There are a few smudged spots here and there, but they’re from me not letting the ink fully dry for the most part. I was especially impressed with how well it held up against watercolor. If I’m using these pens to sketch, then I’m not really worried as worried about line quality anyway, and if I’m using them for final linework, I’m working slowly enough that the lines don’t skip.īeing both waterproof and Copic-proof is always a significant plus, since it means I can use the pens for final linework in a fully traditional piece. Still, streakiness in drawing is probably way less of an issue than in writing. The pens have decent line variation, but it’s hard changing things up dramatically mid-stroke without getting a blip in the ink flow.

If you write quickly, things get even streakier. Drawn on bristol.Īll three pens had a bit of trouble getting started with ink flow, and even after a few lines of writing, long strokes almost always had streaks in them and broke up at the end. I did the following test sheet before I translated the names and before I found them on Jetpens though, so I went with small, medium, and large, ha. They’re felt-tipped and Zebras come in three sizes: super fine (極細), fine (細字), and medium (中字). The brush pens are pretty similar to other disposable brush pens, including the Kuretake fudes, and my still-favourite inking pen, the Tombow Fudenosuke.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but these are the same Zebra disposable brush pens that are available on Jetpens for $2.50 each, so with Daiso’s $1.50 everything, I got them at a nice discount. They did, however, have some other brush pens for sale when I went in late December: Zebra disposable brush pens. Or at least, their downtown Seattle location doesn’t.

But apparently, they no longer carry most of the mysterious brush pens I encountered last year.
