Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Dual Marker – Brush and Fineliner Ink Pen

Pitt Artist Pen Dual Marker – Ink Pen with Brush and Fineliner Tips

The Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Dual Marker is a double-ended ink pen for sketches, fashion drawing, illustrations, manga and comics. One end has a flexible brush tip that keeps its shape, the other a metal-cased 0.8 mm fibre tip (fineliner). So you can switch between line variation and fine outlines without changing pens.

According to Faber-Castell, the ink in the Pitt Artist Pens is pigmented, waterproof, permanent, odourless, acid-free and pH-neutral. It does not bleed through the paper. Choose your colour from the options.

Two tips, two jobs

With the brush tip you vary the line width through pressure: a light touch gives thin lines, more pressure gives broad, dynamic strokes and areas of colour. Use the 0.8 mm fineliner tip for outlines, hatching and small details. A practical order of work is to sketch first with the fineliner and then fill areas with the brush. Because the ink is waterproof and permanent, you can go over it with watercolours once it is dry without the lines running.

Handling and storage

According to Faber-Castell, the pen has a large ink reservoir and caps that will not roll away. The caps fit on both ends, so you can push them onto the back while drawing and not lose them. Faber-Castell recommends storing Dual Markers horizontally.
