Hey Sketchers!
Today I was chilling’ in town. My Black Paper mate FLAIR M died yesterday, so I came to the pen shop to get a new one. It’s always a great feel to draw with a brand new pen when the ink is flowing so well.

In my opinion, if you would have to choose one, it should be the Papermate FLAIR M (See picture below). It’s my favourite Felt pen.
It’s fluid
Smooth
And I can play easily with the line weight.
I came for the black, and I end buying the extra 4 colours. I couldn’t resist to these fruity tones !
Pilot Twin Marker
I also like to draw with the Pilot Twin Marker. It has a nice flow too, but tend to dry very fast if you forget to put back the cap. You may consider a marker for DVD as well from Pentel.
This pen is worth trying. It’s fluid and the ink dry quite fast for such pen. It means you have lesser chance to stain your sketch with your palm. But the red is a bit orange. Kind of charming though.
