I started drawing with brush my pens in 2017 but fell out of it when I got Procreate in 2020. I kinda lost my ability to draw with brush pens for the past year that I wasn’t doing it, but recently got back into it using the warm-up/practice techniques described in this video. These practice techniques really really work!

[@euphony6181]

I actually learned your inking style by following my calligraphy technique it's really helpful for me because It kinda have similarities when I use that technique. Anywayss thankss for this video Kesh now I can easily understand how you do the lines that perfect 😊

[@davidkay6388]

I just bought a brush pen yesterday and then you upload this video perfect timing. Thanks

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

I spent a year trying to draw with normal pens without luck, my myoclonus dystonia makes it hard enough as is but my experience with a brush pen showed me my hand tremors are just too bad to actually draw with ink. I was so disheartened I cried. Since then however, Iearned a few tricks, using large shapes, and drawing big, which helped me manage my issues to get something somewhat acceptable.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

Actually, if you watch a lot of "masters," their lines are very shaky or uneven. They just lay down shaky lines consistently or in high volume so they don't stand out as flaws. Sketching is often the same thing taken to an extreme. I definitely understand being unable to get past perfectionism and wishing for clean lines though.

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

@@vitriolicAmaranth It's not perfectionism (Though I have the same problems like getting caught in the details as any other artist haha), it's not wanting to instantly ruin something you spent significant time on. The problem is you are thinking shaky lines; it's a bit more like making huge streaks randomly through the entire thing you were drawing and accidentally flinging your pen part way across the room. I can get away with things to a degree with pencil and an eraser albeit much slower than most folks, but pen on paper is just flat out of the question for me most days. Thankfully digital options have let me ink, paint, and work in "permanent" mediums in a more manageable way. I was actually able to quit my day job, I work as an artist for a living now; doing mostly creature design.

[@d.st.michael4195]

@@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608 Lol! I’m sorry. The ‘accidentally flinging your pen part way across the room’ visual was just to much ‘reality’ for my sense of maturity and politeness could contain quite frankly. I chuckled when I got to that part of your comment. Lol. No disrespect. It only comes from already realizing the person you were responding to didn’t really understand the nature of your challenges. I suppose it’s difficult to know if it hasn’t struck within your own friend and/or family circle. I hope things are well just the same. Take care dear.

[@iamwhatiam5091]

Try a hard brush pen, its brush is more rigid and doesn’t bend easily.

[@aaronm8143]

Thanks Kesh, just got my first brush pen. I can't wait to use it.

[@JS93art]

Dude your editing is amazing! The tip on line width being further or closer was helpful. Keep it up Kesh 👍

[@paperplanenomad]

Amazing video! The fight with your hand made me laugh so much and I appreciate how you've also mentioned cheaper alternatives to the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. I totally agree with your tip about joining drawing challenges to practise, I joined Inktober in 2020 and did my lineart with a brush pen, except then I lost all the momentum because I just stopped after Inktober. Your video is inspiring me to get back into it again, thank you for sharing! This is the first of your channel that I've seen but I'll definitely stick around for more 👏🏼

[@ilinairom1356]

[@nicholashildenbrand8632]

If you are a regular amazon shopper, keep an eye out. I got my brush pen as an add on item and it was pretty much half price. I also picked up the relatively inexpensive 10 pack of off brand refills and they work wonderfully.

I had brush pens for some years now and I still suck at using them so I don't use them as often. :'D I always have trouble controlling my line weight with brush pens. Your exercises look promising. I'll try that, thank you so much! You're a freaking saint, other people would hide this sort of tutorial behind patreon or skillshare. It's becoming more rare to see people share their knowledge more openly with others.

[@FahimKhaled]

From back in the day in animation and illustration, it was popular with using brush pen for the outlines, most notably ruled at the 2000s. Now that I've been felted nostalgic after making me feel like wanting to use the brush pen, wished they could've bring back the tool rather than the round soft outlines in the present-day.

I prefer Fudenosuke / hard brush pens - they come In various brush sizes and are much easier to control. I always struggle with the soft ones, I don’t get clean / crisp lines with them 🙈
