Once a year I give the old brush pen a try.
I’ve had the same pens for four years and
they are wet and lovely because they are NEVER used.
I like the sexy sexy lines they allow but I hate the lack of control.
I guess if I practiced more I’d get a bit better at control…
See them next year!

The illustration is lovely and the linework is really dynamic. I am with you, however: I cannot get the hang of brush pens at all. Give me a fountain pen or my faithful old dip pen any time.

I know. Gads I am sure if I’d bother to practice I could make them work for me… but I love the fountain pens and so it goes!

Same. I default to what comes more easily to me because it is therefore more fun and less like hard work.

Yes. And it is supposed to be fun!
