My Inking & Drawing Tools | Pens, Nibs, Ink & Comic Workflow
In this video, I talk about the traditional inking and drawing tools I use for my comics and illustration work. This is not a theory breakdown. These are the actual pens, nibs, inks, and correction tools I work with day to day, including what I like about each and why I switch between them depending on the page. ✍️ Nib Holders Tachikawa Plastic Nib Holder https://www.jetpens.com/Tachikawa-Comic-Pen-Holders/ct/1318 Tachikawa Wooden Nib Holder https://www.jetpens.com/Tachikawa-Wooden-Comic-Pen-Holder/pd/2209 Tachikawa Small Nib Holder (for Maru nibs) https://www.jetpens.com/Tachikawa-Comic-Pen-Holders/ct/1318 🖋️ Nibs Tachikawa G Nib https://www.jetpens.com/Tachikawa-G-Pen-Nib/pd/1787 Tachikawa Maru Mapping Nib https://www.jetpens.com/Tachikawa-Maru-Pen-Nib/pd/1788 🖤 Inks Speedball Super Black India Ink https://www.speedballart.com/our-product-lines/speedball-inks/super-black-india-ink/ Molotow Black Ink https://www.molotow.com/en/applications/inks-refills/ 🖊️ Technical Pens Rotring Technical Pens (various sizes) https://www.rotring.com/technical-pens/ Faber-Castell Technical Pens (various sizes) https://www.fabercastell.com/products/technical-pens 🤍 White Ink & Corrections Koh-I-Noor White Ink https://www.kohinoorusa.com/ Deleter White Ink https://deleter-manga.net/ Sakura White Gel Pens https://www.sakuraofamerica.com/gelly-roll/ I also talk about when and why I switch tools, how different nibs affect line weight and rhythm, and how I approach corrections without killing the energy of the line.
