Tombow Testdrive

For the watercolor sketching on location class, this week we are to go to a museum and do some pencil-free ink drawings using a watersoluble pen, the Tombow brush pen.  I decided to give mine a test drive at home. It was dinner time when I got home from buying the pens, so I wedged in a couple of super-quicky sketches of Da Bear.   I’m sure glad I did. The Tombow pen handles much differently than watersoluble ink in a fountain pen.  It lays down a lot more ink and when water is added the wash is more intense and harder to control.
