Inspired by Jason Robb article on the pens he uses for interface sketching (http://www.uxbooth.com/blog/tools-for-sketching-user-experiences/)
I thought it would be fun to do some research into the best pens that people use.
Need to make a trip to the London graphics center.
So far the pens to investigate are:
- Promarker 5 Sets
- STABILO point 88
- Tria Markers
- Uni Pin Drawing Pen
- Pentel GraphGear 1000 Pencil
- Artline Ergoline Fineliner
- Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Yawaragi Colors – Usuzumi
- Tombow ABT Dual Brush Pen
- Faber Castell Pitt Artists Drawing Pen
Images and testing coming soon.
