The Pentel Brush Sign Pen was probably the pen that got me good at drawing letters, I think. My husband gave me a big soft brush pen a hundred years ago, and that’s what started it all. But I don’t think I would have continued if it hadn’t been for the fact that I ran across this small, flexible but easy-to-use pen. Big soft nibs can be very challenging and challenges are good but not unnecessarily big ones right at the beginning of a new interest because then it dies.

So: If you are fairly new to lettering, there is no pen I recommend more. I’ve been selling it for as long as I’ve had my web shop and always hand it out at brush lettering workshops. When the nib is smaller, it is easier to control, which makes it very useful and reasonably easy to maneuver even for inexperienced hands. It is still the pen I use most often, I don’t think there are many days without me drawing with one, that’s the truth of the day. Several practice sheets, such as the Canadian and the Kaosyoga are made for Pentel Brush Sign.

The pen works great for writing labels and cards, and can be used as a small brush for watercolor after (or before) the ink runs out. The tip folds nicely but has decent resistance, which makes it easier to get those narrow lines. It matches beautifully with Lettering Pad Smooth of course and the size works great for labels.

The Pentel Brush Sign Pen is now available in a whopping 36 lovely, vibrant, water-soluble colors – six of which are brand new fluorescent colors, they have FL before their color name – and you can find every single one here. Just pick and choose and put together your own bag of goodies! If you’re brand new and have never held a brush pen, take a look at this short little guide
