Tools of the Trade

I'm doing a 90 minute tutorial video today on hand-lettering that will be released sometime next month - this is a still from the beginning showing the tools that I work with on a regular basis. Lots of people always seem to ask hand-lettering artists/designers about what pens they use, and the answer (at least for me) is a lot of different ones, and it's always whatever the job calls for.

In the top row from left to right:

Koh-I-Noor colored fine liners Tombow Brush Pens Pilot Brush Pens Copic Dual Tip Marker Elegant Writer Calligraphy Pen Itoya Calligraphy Pen Pilot Parallel Pens Pilot Fine Liners Gold/Silver Uni-Ball Pens Chalk Ink Marker, Deco Paint Pen

The two horizontal pens are a Copic WIDE Pen and a Sharpie Paint Pen.

The bottom row is a collection of fine liner sets - from left to right:

Prismacolor Premiere Pens Copic Multiliner Pens Micron Pigma Fine Liners Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens Staedler Lumicolor Pens Pilot Razor Point Pen Koh-I-Noor Fine Liner Sharpie Fine Tip Pen
