Review: Kuretake ai Liner brush pen

May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 · Supplies · Reading Time: 6 minutes

Kuretake ai Liner’s ultra-fine brush is great for thin lines, but detail work can still be challenging, and many similar-price refillable options are more versatile.

Review: Kuretake Karappo

The Kuretake Karappo solves a problem that, honestly, probably very few people have: the need to have a fineliner, felt brush, or bristle brush pen in very specific color. But I’m super excited that these products now exist for that handful of people.

Review: Kuretake no. 14 brush pen

As I’ve said, Kuretake’s brush pen numbering scheme really makes no sense. The Kuretake #13 is a cartridge-filled, synthetic hair brush, but the Kuretake #14 is a disposable felt tip, nevermind that Kuretake has several un-numbered lines of disposable felt tips??

Review: Kuretake no. 8 fountain brush pen

Kuretake really needs a better way of naming its pens. Kuretake doesn’t even name them in any kind of order that makes sense. And so, the Kuretake #8 is a refillable synthetic hair brush pen, in the same vein as the Kuretake #13.

Zebra, Kuretake, Tombow brush pen showdown

I recently won a Jetpens x Illustration Friday giveaway for six disposable brush pens: two sizes each of Zebra, Kuretake, and Tombow brush pens. I’ve bought and used every single one of these pens before, but I’ve never had fresh new pens of each type all at the same time, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to properly compare them all!

Kuretake brush pens, Uni-ball white pens

So… I bought more pens. I think this is starting to become a problem. I have more pens than I have space to put them in pencil cases, cups, and jars. No more new pens for the rest of the year, all right? Break these in first.
