edding 1880 profipen - black - set of 4 -line width 0.25-0.7 mm-fineliner pen for precise writing, sketching and technical drawing - fine, metal-encased nib - suitable for use with rulers and stencils

I am a beginner to pen/ink sketching and my art teacher recommended this brand for learners. Arrived promptly and are well worth the investment. Ranging from a fine to a thick nib, this pack of four pens is great if you're starting out experimenting with pen sketching. It's not as versatile as a dipping pen (no flexibility of using a brush with ink etc), but then again, you know that already before buying it. Easy to carry around and use on the go too.It would suit art/science students as well as just anyone weird enough (such as this writer) who likes collecting and using fine stationery. Go Edding :)

Apart from getting a duplicate of the thinnest pen in my packet rather then the full range of sizes, I found they are not quite waterproof for watercolour painting. When the pen drawing is wetted there is a tendency to get a light grey smudge around, although the pen line itself seems to stay put reasonably well. Not sure if you’ll be able to see that on the photo.

i draw quite a lot of manga but i am only an amatuer and most of it is just copying images i like on the internet. i really like the varience in size of the nibs and it really allows me to put fine detail on the face and thick lines for dramatic emphasis. love them

I bought these after an evening at Cadogan Hall with Matt, who apparently uses them. I can see why - a great pen.

Variable line width is very disappointing.

Fast service, good product.

As an amateur cartoonist I have tried and used lots of different types and makes of pen but always come back to this brand

Excellent pens
