Prismacolor Manga Pens

I have a fairly simple budget, like almost everyone else. I have tried and tested many materials, and since I can't buy the most expensive pens or markers, I look for quality Manga tools at a cheap price.

I use a lot of different artist tools through my process of sketching, inking and coloring, but I want to focus on my favorite pens.
some people just push quality off and use sharpie, or a ball point pen, but I guarantee these will not produce as good an affect as a normal Manga pen.


There are different kinds of manga pens, including  micro ink pens and Sensei pens.
My favored choice are the Prismacolor manga pens.
this is a great set of pens, that come in different sizes and nib widths, including two sebia pens.
You will never need too get another set of pens.
I have had mine for two years and they have not dried or otherwise been faulty. 

their stroke is extremely smooth and dries fast, doesn't bleed and is very sharp.
they are a bit expensive- (12.50 has been the cheapest I've seen them for) but seeing as their price is usually 20, and that they last for many years, it's a great investment and these primacolor manga pens make an amazing contribution to your set of manga

My example(I inked in this piece with the black brush nib and the size 5):

this is a pic of me(the snow leopard), and one of my friends(the kitty) drawn feb 2 2015

this is a comic I sketched this morning, and, though it's very rough, I thought it was funny so I decided to add it to my post. unlike regular Manga, this Comic is read left to right, because I wanted my non-manga friends to be able to read it, :p
