1. Controlling thickness
Generally speaking, the thickness of strokes is controlled by changing the writing strength and the angle between the pen tip and the paper. When writing, increasing the strength of your fingers and reducing the angle between the pen tip and the paper will make the strokes thicker, and vice versa.
During the application process, you need to appropriately adjust the strength and the angle between the pen tip and the paper according to the thickness and smoothness of the lines you want to obtain. This process requires continuous practice and understanding by yourself until Find what works for you.

Art pens can enlarge the strokes and strokes better than ordinary pens.

Notes on pen selection
1. When purchasing an art pen, pay attention to the curvature and length of the pen tip. The greater the degree of curvature, the larger the contact area between the pen tip and the paper surface, and the pen tip needs to be more upright when writing. The optimal bending angle of the pen tip is 50°.
2. The best pen tip length is 2~3mm. The larger the length, the larger the writing size. If you master the writing skills of the art pen, the writing size can be large or small, which is very flexible. Beginners recommend the King series of art pens, which are of a specific type. This kind of pen has a smaller bending angle and is more suitable for beginners to practice.
3. When choosing an art pen, pay attention to whether the center of gravity of the pen is toward the rear. Some manufacturers install a screw in the cap of the art pen in order to increase the weight and feel of the pen. This will actually It is not conducive to writing, and if you write for a long time, your hands will be super tired, and the gain outweighs the gain.
