What kind of NIB should I get?

As a rule of thumb, most are usually between a 0.5mm and a 0.7mm line, with the Eastern (Japanese) nibs being on the finer end and the Western (Italian, & German) nibs being on the thicker end. Going with a fine point is still better suited for smaller, more deliberate handwriting styles.

What NIB is best for drawing?

These include:

  • Leonardt 6H drawing nib: gives a very fine, delicate line.
  • Brause Cito fein: a nice medium nib without a lot of flexibility.
  • Leonardt 300: A very smooth nib, another great choice for writing and making quick drawings.
  • Nikko Saji-Pen: A wonderfully smooth and slightly flexible nib that’s great for drawing.

What is the best fountain pen nib for drawing?

My favorite nibs are Pilot’s Soft Extra Fine (on my resin Falcon) and Pilot’s FA nib (on the Custom 912). The Custom 912 can be a little finicky, so the Falcon is my go-to pen for drawing. Noodler’s also makes a couple of more affordable, steel nib options (the Ahab or Konrad) that also flex without breaking the bank.
