I often get asked what I ink with. I like the look of brush inking, especially on organic forms and human figures. In my opinion a brush line gives more life to the drawing than a static line with no thick or thin variations. Since working with a real brush and a bottle of ink can be messy and inconvenient I usually use some kind of brush marker. I have tried lots of them, thank you Japan for your constant supply of new variations A lot of cartoonists love the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, but my gripe with it is that the tip is just too wet.
I have really taken to the Pigma brush markers because the ink is super black, dries waterproof (most brush markers do not) plus the tip lasts right up to the end of the ink supply...this is something that can not be said of most brush markers. They come in 3 tip sizes and ironically I usually go for the large one even when I am working small...I guess because is feels the most like a brush in that you can go from a razor point line to a brushy fill all in one stroke.
I use the large tip when I am drawing directly in ink in my pocket Moleskine sketchbook...an added perk here is that these don't leak so my pocket is safe
If you are a brush inker or want to give that a try these are great.
