I'm interested in intricate pen rendering, the sort that looks kind of like old English woodcuts
Does anyone use fountain pens anymore? I think most illustrators did up to the 1930s (maybe they remained popular for decades after that, I dunno.) What are the pros and cons of fountain pens
What are the advantages/disadvantages of something like Micron or Sakura pens
Are there any ballpoint pens worth using? What other kinds are there
Feel free to answer inking pen questions that I haven't asked, and elaborate liberally on the ones I have asked, since I don't know what I don't know.
EDIT: Ackwow! I just found that this: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...t=fountain+pen was just Papermate ballpoints!
