Derwent graphik linemaker series

So I purchased this pack of pens when I was bored without any kit and wanted to doodle for a long train journey.
I purchased these from a rymans store and really enjoyed them and it was so handy that they came in a nice wallet. One that I could easily shove away in my pocket and added a nice bit of convenience to my travelling.

● lightfast water based pigment ink
● available in black and sepia
● handy for travelling with its wallet
● wallet by design or fault, can fit a slim mechanical pencil alongside the pens for added convenience
● wallet also holds any loose snapped caps of pens in place till you can put them on tightly
● nice japanese nib makes them strong for heavy hands, soft dot work and even lines

○ downsides include a stiff cap you need to make sure is snapped tight
○ they can dry a bit when left alone or forgotten but can be revived quickly
○ working too quickly may result in smudges from hands as larger nib gives more ink and needs an extra second to dry down

■ like I mentioned I purchased these from rymans for £11.99
■ also available in a 3 pack for £6.99
■ sepia coloured ink also available
■ range of nib sizes 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.8

Shop around for sales and offers and check out the derwent website for other derwent products that might catch your fancy. I've also seen this same set available in tkmaxx as part of their quirky stationary stuff.

Overall it's a nice set I personally think it's great for travelling and it's definitely something which stays in my travel kit
