A black line does not always have the same character. It can be fine and controlled, broad and painterly, soft and fluid or firm and consistent. The Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens Black Set combines four distinct nibs, allowing you to change line quality and width without changing color.
The standard B Brush tip responds to pressure and creates both fine and broad lines. It is ideal for brush lettering, outlines, hair, foliage, expressive shadows and free mark making.
The SB Soft Brush tip is even softer and more elastic. It bends easily and reacts quickly to hand movement, producing fluid, gestural lines and painterly strokes. It is especially useful for gesture drawing, expressive lettering, broad curves and dynamic shadows.
The SC Soft Calligraphy tip has a broad, flexible calligraphic edge. Changes in angle and pressure create narrow or wider marks, making it suitable for gothic lettering, modern calligraphy, headings, monograms and decorative borders.
The rounded 1.5 mm Bullet tip creates a consistent line width. Use it for strong outlines, headings, dots, small shapes, graphic details and any area requiring clean, even application.
Every pen contains deep black pigment India ink – Black 199. The ink is odourless, acid free, pH neutral and highly lightfast. It becomes permanent and waterproof once dry and is formulated not to bleed through paper easily.
This set is especially useful for monochrome artwork that depends on varied line quality. Combine all four nibs in illustration, lettering, comics, manga, fashion design, art journaling and mixed media projects.
