Uniball Micro pens, baby. Or a brush and a bottle of jet black ink (really).

It may not be wet, and it may not be 0,1, but I love it nonetheless and its my personal ‘weapon of choice’.: ‘CretaColor Monolith Graphite’..

A Staedtler mechanical pencil, with a little window that shows what kind of lead is in there (manually set, of course). And much more important: with an eraser!!

Hrant:

Could you provide a link to that pencil? Sounds wonderful.

Thanks,

9H 4H and HB pencils. Last days I have been playing with a cheap set of broad nib fountain pens which you have to deep wash and brush every time thye

David got the link; here’s mine:


(BTW, I don’t use B lead — I just had to twist the ring so you could see the window.)

Ohhhhhhhh, Hrant. That’s sex-saayyyyy!

Now ‘fess up — where’d ya get it?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, please!

I got it about a year ago from a stationary store called “Pepa Paper” in L’Isla, a shopping center on Barcelona’s Diagonal boulevard. Before that I used a plastic Pentel mechanical pencil, which was really almost as good (just not as sex-saayyyyy).

Gotcha. Thanks! By the way, Fredrik, my hat’s off to you. When I’m not looking for high tech, I use a General’s Sketching Pencil for rough sketching — the one with the super wide lead, like a carpenter’s marking pencil. Sharpen it with my ol’ Marine Corps K-BAR knife.

Berol Draughting Pencil.

Going off subject a second — does anyone else have a fetish for scanning in 3D objects on their scanner? Check out the warping on this cup…

Currently I’m liking my 8H Mars-Lumograph and my 6H Sanford Turquoise pencils. I never much went for soft lead.

Correct guess gets to hold it/them in his/her hand at TypeCon.

My Pre-digital WMDs are:
1. Liquitex Acrylic (usually black and white but my bottles are not OS-X native so I had to use thw Classic Red)
2. Steig Pen-Opaque
3. Pelikan tusche
4. My near-and-dear Alteneder ruling pen, and
5. Windser Newton Red Sable

I should also mention rags and jars of water but they don’t qualify in the same league as the above.  :-)

Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V5 Pen, with black ink. No finer writing stick!

Sorry to be a little off topic here, but I couldn’t pass the opportunity to rant about the idiotic stylus designs that Wacom has come out with recently.

We are Devo.

Everyday, I use similar tools as Nick, with a Wacom tablet under macX. But when I teach, I ask to students for such things that I used loooong time ago.

Note that the various rules are just here for baseline and such side things. I can be very dangerous if I see a student starting to use them to draw his typeforms. Very.
