Unboxing and Review Kuretake Number 13 Brush Pen part one

[@BasedArtDepartment]

I love watching talented artists ink. Things just look so crisp and nice. You can watch a picture just pop to life. I can only hope that one day I'll be able to do the same! Great vid!

Thank you

Terrific brush pen. I use it with Rotring ink; flows a bit better than the supplied cartridges. I've stocked up on loads of the No.8 DP150-8B (which is the same thing just less fancy) and have filled them with various grey tones. When I win the lottery I'll try out the sable version.

[@davidpentecost]

Thanks for the recommendations on ink. I’ve never tried Rotring ink so I will have to get some

I just bought the Kuretake #8 brush pen last week and am very pleased with it so far. Just wonder how long will the brush last. I plan to refill the ink with a syringe later on.

Awesome videos! I haven't used the 13, but I do have a 50, which I'm pretty sure is identical overall but has sable hair and a different finish on the body. I agree with your assessment. Body feels a bit thin, but the flow and quality of the brush is fantastic. Also, when I tried to do markers over the ink it bled pretty badly. So I do not like the default Kuretake ink and I always use my own ink in a converter. From what I can tell, in terms of actual brush and line quality, these and the Pentel are on nearly equal footing with the difference mainly being the heavier, nicer feel of the Kuretake metal body. Thanks for the cool videos.

You are welcome and thanks for the thoughtful response

❤ those lines.. this is my one of a fav pen

[@UJB123]

I like it, it's thin sure. I have 2. Don't forget the Japanese actually write with these pens on a daily basis. Business men probably asked for the thinness, shirt pockets being what they are. Their traditional writing instrument we just happen to find great for art.

Very true

Incredible!!! How long do you spend on each page? Pencil and Ink? A hug from Brazil, success always!🇧🇷😊👍🏻

[@davidpentecost]

Probably average of 10 hours per page

[@kathleenbrowne198]

Hey great video, where did you buy the brush?

[@davidpentecost]

It was a gift…but probably Amazon

[@captionrespawn]

Sir how is this pen performing now?

[@davidpentecost]

Still works very well

[@captionrespawn]

@@davidpentecost that's great. I might buy this pen in future. I've been using a pental pocket brush pen for a while and I got some issues. It's bristles split too often and it's hard to control. Hatching is almost impossible with spilited bristles. Not to mention the refills are crazy expensive (I've watched your refill method and would try it soon, also please recommend me the ink I should use for refilling. I prefer waterproof inks) . Is there a fix to those bristles? I've recently started using a real brush for inkjng and damn.. it's literally the best inking tool ever

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@davidpentecost It's great to know and watch you paint.👍 When you switch to your own ink, did you clean the brush or just use the new ink straight on?

[@raisakhatoon6290]

[@davidpentecost]

Thank you for the suggestions for a future video.

[@Crazytesseract]

What brush pens will give a dry brush effect?

[@davidpentecost]

I find that using quick strokes can create a dry brush effect. As well as letting the ink run low

[@Pta54]

Rien ne vaut un vrai pinceau en martre kolinski…

[@UJB123]

Some people just want to draw and have fun without going broke on items they don't really need ... 'ya know. Probably why companies make differing brush types at various costs.

[@davidpentecost]

Very true. But can be costly and sometimes difficult to use
