Copic Drawing Pen, F02, Black

This is a great fountain pen! This pen works really well for fine line and detail work because you are able to put down lines of various widths depending on how much pressure and speed is used. BE AWARE: this is not a normal fineliner or ball point pen and will not preform like one. All the negative reviews im seeing are from people who dont know how to or when to properly utilize a fountain pen. So be sure you know what your ordering!

Super bummed, the pen keeps clogging and nothing I do gets it work. I was excited to add this to my sketch travel kit.

I relied for many years on the amazing Rotring Rapidoliner pens and was very sad to see this wonderful product disappear from the market place. All other technical pens I have tried require tedious cleaning and maintenance. So it was my search for a decent and reliable drawing pen that led me to the Copic F02 pen. While not as pleasing as the Rapidoliner, the F02 is a good pen for sketching on the go. So far, this pen has worked when I need it to and produces a good black line.

I was surprised how easily I took to this pen being a devout fan of "real" fountain pens. The nib being shaped as it is, can obscure your view if you're aiming for a tight space in fine work. So I was acclimating to the pen and on day three no ink flowed. No visible damage to nib and no utilization that should tax this pen - no heavy use. All in all, I'll stick to the Copic Multiliners, Micron pens and traditional fountain pens(a much finer point can be achieved). Perhaps this pen was just a fluke, but after I become used to an instrument, it will get a work-out and my first impression was this is a "novelty" item not a workhorse.

I ordered this pen because I saw an artist recommend it on YouTube. I have to admit that I'm disappointed. The ink flow isn't consistent, so I need to go over lines more than once. I think there must be better fountain pens out there.

My initial impression on getting this pen was disappointment. I've been a Copic fan for years. When I opened the packaging of this pen the build quality left me wondering if I had gotten scammed. it does not even attempt to not look plastic. I found the body a bit sticky to hold, and experienced the problems that other reviewers had mentioned of inconsistent ink flow. It is Copic marker proof, but you can get some spread with water, which I actually don't mind as i find it a quick way to get tone/shading when sketching.So, I threw it into my "regret pile" pencil case to use until it runs out. Since then, I've found myself reaching out for it more and more. I think my hand had forgotten how to use a fountain pen, because the longer I used it, the smoother it became. It is very versatile, works both for quick writing and for quick sketching.It would be a 5 star pen if it wasn't for the fact that it's not refillable, so there's the landfill scenario to deal with.

Bought these pens for my godson to introduce him to a new style of drawing. In picking out a good pen, I began to do more research and thought these sounded great. Then they arrived and I tried them out, I considered keeping them and then ordering more for him later. I didn't, but I am so happy to have found these pens. They are so smooth and perfect for the type of drawing he does (and I love to do). He told me how great they were when he started using them.

I'm no professional artist, but I recently got into copics and was recommended this pen from a friend. It really bolds out the lines of your sketch, so it's great for inking, and it doesn't smudge copic markers or when you erase the sketch lines. The way the tip is also lets you do thicker or thinner lines, making it useful for little details or filling in parts.
