I bought these with the intent of drawing like this man, instead I got smudgy marks all over my paper, really expensive paper. Doh!
I bought these for $14.99 at Michaels, which not just glossing over prices on the internet was a ripoff. I think I might have used their weekend coupon though so that at least is cool.
Phil Lewis didn't recommend these pens though so his reputation is intact. I did also buy some Sakura Micron pens at his suggestion, which are much better at not smudging and giving a nice sharp, thin line. I have one new pen that acts like it already out of ink so I'm not too sure about their quality control.
Maybe one day if I finish the drawing I'll scan it and post it up here. I have not worked on it for ages... oh wait, back on topic.
This set of 4 pens has 4 line widths, (amazingly enough) a 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, and a 0.7 mm one. The 0.1 mm is a lie though as my Sakura pen is only a 0.2 mm and it's visibly thinner. It also leaves a much thinner line as well. I think Staedtler is lying.
They are also made in Germany which, I suppose, shouldn't be held against them.
The case is neat though...
Final word: Don't Buy
