Tombow ABT Dual Brush Pen - Black

I bought this for card making and my bullet journal and it is great. The ink is acid free and I am getting to grips with applying more pressure to the downward strokes and drawing some arty letters. It is a nice touch that there is a fine liner on the other side, which is equally easy to write with. I like that the ink is quick to dry and a very deep black, in oppose to some of the cheaper brands.

It is a very good product for beginners such as myself who are interesting in modern calligraphy or hand lettering. However the tips becomes frayed easily when used on wrong paper and that is something you should be wary of. Brush Tip: Pros: It is very flexible Ink in opaque and clean Good Product for beginners Cons: the tip is easily frayed, so you may need to use more expensive higher quality paper - I recommend HP Laser-jet paper It may be hard to control at first I have not used the felt tip much so I cannot write a good review for that.

I'd seen loads of people online raving about these pens so I decided to get one to try as a beginner. Overall, they’re not as easy to use as videos make out. Personally I find the brush end difficult to use. The thicker brush end is quite hard to write with but when you can angle it well it writes very nicely. The thinner end is really easy to use as a felt tip pen but slightly thinner. Good colour and value for money.

As someone who's neverused a brush pen before, this pen is amazing for beginners. The brush side of the pen is flexible and easy to use without loosing control of the brush movement. However, the felt tip end is slightly hard at the beginning. But like any other pen, it starts to get easier to use the more u use it. For the price it is and how fast they get here, it is fair to say that they are worth buying.

Love these pens for highlighting and bringing some colour to my bullet journal. They don't bleed colour underneath aslong as pen is dry and they don't bleed through the paper. They are lovely to use and I love the two tips and use both

I love this pen, so much so that I have re-purchased. The ink is lovely and dark. The nibs offer great versatility. The brush nib is soft, but firm enough for a beginner- like myself. Great pen.

Was buying this brush pen for Shodo, as I was looking for brush pens of varying sizes. However, I feel this is not meant for that at all as it does not perform well when used for calligraphy. It's like the brush runs out of ink mid stroke, leaving a very weak looking stroke. You could say that's my fault for buying it when other reviews mentioned shading and drawing. But it's made by Tombow who make other good calligraphy brush pens.

This has been my first Towbow pen, and it has fast become my favourite brush pen. Lovely to use, brilliant ink flow and good colour. I’ve not had any bleeding through the pages, and have found this easy to use as I’m learning how to do brush lettering.
