Pentel Pocket Brush Pen Review
The Pentel Pocket Brush Pen is one I’ve had issues with for years. It was my first brush pen purchase ever, somewhere in my senior year of college. I grabbed one, it had some OK qualities, but I wasn’t super happy with it. I’ve purchased two more Pentel Pocket Brush Pens since then. The first one developed a major split in the brush hairs, making it come to two tips instead of one. The second one was too wet in flow, until I changed to a sketchbook with rougher tooth paper, then it became too light in flow to make the marks I wanted to make (people refer to this as dry brush). This also might have been an issue with me using other types of ink for a while, always fountain pen ink, but still not standard Pentel Pocket Brush Pen refills.
To put a long story short, I gave all of this a shot again, and while the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen does definitely have issues, it’s also one of my favorite mops to draw with right now. Let’s get into it.
