Pilot DR Drawing Pen 05

This pen is so old in my collection I can't remember of it came from a kit of other armer or if I bought it from an art store. This is a very durable drawing pen and my own has fared it's own amount of abuse and still retains the hardest nib for drawing with.

● designed as a technical drawing pen
● fast drying
● highly water resistant
● light-fast black pigment
● super hard-wearing plastic tip
● ideal for use with rulers and wide range of papers. Inc cheaper sheets.

If your a technical illustrator with interests in architecture or interior design this pen will last year's. My own has been stepped on, dropped,  had bricks topple on it and all that has altered is the print on the barrel has worn away.

○ the nib can be so hard there is zero movement, give or molding an angle through wear and tear.
○ hard to make fluid ornate or organic lines
○ can result in skipping or jumping when used quickly or on very textured papers
○ rigid nip provides smooth line and can feel slippery when used with a light touch.
○ can be hard to write with as nib is so stiff on its edge

■ available online easily ranging around £2.99
■ offers constantly available on cultpens.com
■ nib sizes include
