The colourful world of Sketch pens

Sketch pens are simply liquid colour in ink form. These felt-tipped pens consist of a porous tip made of pressed fibre and have their own ink source. One of the most widely used medium of art in the world, these pens are used by art enthusiasts, children and crafters across the globe to express their creativity. Sketch pens can be used for drawing, poster making, sketching and other creative works. The bold lines, vibrant designs and beautiful patterns created with these pens convert a piece of blank paper to a colourful panorama which surely appeals to the eyes of young and old alike.

In 1910, the first felt tipped marking pen was patented by Lee Newman. However, it was only in the year 1962 that the modern fibre tipped pen was developed by Yukio Horie of Tokyo Stationary Company. Since then, with the advent of technology, felt tipped pens like sketch pens and markers have undergone a sea change of improvements to become what we know of them as today.

Whether one wants to make a poster, or sketch a landscape or even write a message in a greeting card, a sketch pen is what they need to give shape and colour to their creative endeavour. But what truly makes this creative instrument so versatile? The cone shaped tips of these pens are responsible for it all. Sketch pens come in tips of different sizes. One can use the top of its tip to write finely or turn it sideways to shade and colour. A good sketch pen neither bleeds nor feathers. Its ink does not blot and using it not a messy affair. The inks of sketch pens are generally water or pigment based which make them bleed proof, fast drying and fade resistant.
