Current Events > Does anyone here draw with pen?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Haven't seen many Inktober posts here, so it might just be me using pen 'round these parts. Anyway, for those of you who do draw with pen, have you noticed that no matter the brand, they don't seem to last long anymore? I've been drawing with pen for a couple of years now, and it seems like every pen has lost quality and longevity. Even my latest purchase of Sakura Microns aren't what they should be. I've bought from Blick, Amazon, and Jetpens. Is it just me?

I have no talent to draw with anything

I haven't really drawn with pens since I made the switch to digital almost a decade ago, and even then I just stuck with one brand and didn't shop around much. I do remember thinking that the thinner tipped ones always ran out too quickly though (which seemed counter-intuitive, since the main body of the pen was the same size and they'd be using less ink per stroke).

I have a few things I have done freehand with a pen(no pencil sketch first) but it's definitely a more sloppy style than if I use a pencil

I draw with pencil and when Im happy I use Sharpie/pen, I dont draw with a pen or else Id make a mistake in the finished product
