Pen and Ink Tips – Getting Started

You really don’t need much to get started with . You can start with a normal ball point pen and a piece of paper that you have lying around the house. Of course, normal household pens and plain old paper will not be as rewarding as a professional set, but at least you can get started right away.

Here are some suggestions for popular pens to check out once you are ready to buy:

Rotring Rapidograph Pen



Rotring Sketching Art Pen

Here are some suggestions for your pen and ink paper:

Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper



Bienfang Raritan Heavyweight Drawing Paper 18 in. x 24 in. pad of 30

    I’ve heard some great things from professional artists about the Rotring Rapidograph pen as it’s great for inking, I use the super cheapo gel ink pens which sometimes clog, so I may upgrade to this one based on your recommendation.

    Cheers now.

    I do buy the Strathmore sketchpads from Amazon and they are of great quality, especially for pen and ink work.
