SIPLIV Redwood Professional Manga Pen Dip Pen Set Manga Cartoon Comic Drawing Painting Kit - 5 Pcs

Fit for purpose

I've been seeing a lot of reviews about how 2-3 of their pens were "damaged" because they arrived bent-- this is not true! Well, the fact they were supposedly damaged is not true, because the bending is intentional!This style of a bent nib is known as a "fude nib", in which "fude" means "bent" in Japanese. I posted a small snippet of a blog on Goldspot.com, but essentially these nibs are supposed to create lines that are pretty close to a brush stroke-- this is especially popular for writing kanji or traditional Chinese characters.Again: THEY ARE NOT BROKEN!! They are bent intentionally!(As an aside, my pens came in and they write wonderfully. I can't wait to use them with my inks to make lineart.)

This is my first set of comic dip pens. I plan to use them to ink my drawings. I have tested all of the pens in this set, and I am quite happy with them. The ink flows very nicely. No issues getting them started. I have a cheap set of calligraphy dip pens and I have to scratch them back and forth on the paper to get them started writing. Not these. They mark from the very first contact with the paper. They hold a fair amount of ink in the reservoir. I was surprised at how much I can do with 1 dip. They do not blob up like my other cheap set. No messy ink blotches and drips. I highly recommend these pens for anyone who wants to get into dip pens, for drawing or calligraphy. The holders are nice as well. They are light weight, and feel great in my hand. The wood is much nicer than the plastic holder I had. Only 1 thing I'm not sure about. I'm not sure if the D nib is supposed to be bent at the tip like in the pic. Both D nibs are bent like that, and they still seem to work, though the line is quite bold. That may be normal, this is my first experience with a D pen, so I'm not sure. But regardless, even if those nibs are defective, the other nibs are not, and they are a lot of fun to draw and ink with. Would buy again without a doubt.

Contenta con el producto, genial que vengan varias plumas cada una con su soporte.

I manici in legno sono molto piacevoli da impugnare: leggeri e resistenti. L’incastro per i pennini è molto comodo mentre i pennini sono con tutte le misure base per provare diversi tipi di tratto. Un ottimo regalo per un principiante, non saprei per un professionista.Piacevolmente sorpreso!

Very happy with the purchase. The pen holders have a nice feel and size. And they look nice.The selection and quality of the nibs is great. I have since also bought a Hunt pen holder with the universally acclaimed 102 crow quill nib but so far, I actually prefer the crow quill in this set. But all the nibs have good flexibility vs sturdiness and have good flow.
