Oh, awesome. I wondered about that!

Very tempted to get a TWSBi mini with EF for my drawing... (the 1.1 I have now seems... not so easy to draw with... )

I like an EF too, although people do draw with stubs/italics;

E.g. Leigh Reyes' drawing with the Pilot Parallel pen (http://www.leighreyes.com/?p=3180) or Roz' Pitt calligraphy pen drawing http://rozwoundup.typepad.com/roz_wo...raphy-pen.html

Far be it from me to stop you buying another pen, but worth a try

I did a quick sketch with it to see how badly I would fail.

So, obviously I *need* another TWSBi, right! I mean, can't draw like that. *cough*

That's a great recommendation for the TWSBI. I agree with everything he says. I'm very new to sketching,but I'm really enjoying both my Rotring Artpen (F & M nibs) and my Platinum Carbon pen (EF), but these are both quill pens and I do need to take care not to lose the cap. I don't post my fountain pens, so when I bought some art pens, I didn't even consider this feature.

Thanks for posting the link John.

Tannie - I think you need both!

There, does that help?

Yes! But only two? Don't I need the Platinum Carbon deskpen too...?

The. Lack part at the end of the nib isn't a seal, is it?

Oh, totally. And a Pentel Pocket brush too.

(Seriously, get a Pentel Pocket brush, they're brilliant).

I don't own a Mini, so I don't know - it isn't on my 530, as far as I know.
