This is the first time i ever try to use a dip pen so i choose this one, its perfect for first timers, its cheap so it worth the risk whether you like it or not, it even come with a few tips on how to use it and take care of it, if you still have problems there are a few You tube videos where you can get more tips .

I’m a newbie to calligraphy, though I did spend 5 years in school writing with fountain pens of varying quality, so I do know about nibbed pens. I think this is a reasonable set for a beginner, though not the best for more intensive or higher quality work. At the end of the day, this is a set of 9 nibs and 2 holders for under 10 dollars, so adjust your expectations accordingly and you’ll be fine.PROSMost of the nibs are decent quality. I’m a fan of the B’s (disc tips), and the C’s (straight tip) worked fine for my wedding invitations. The variety of tips is good. Please note that most nibs are not suitable for fine lettering–think women’s pinky nail or larger for “a” and “e”.CONSThe writing nib (513ef?) was awful. It scratched paper like crazy, and splattered ink when writing on standard printer paper. I suppose expensive paper might work better, but I have definitely come across cheap pen nibs that are better quality. The 102 and 56 were also meh, but at least they didn’t scratch as much. The penholders were nothing to marvel at. They were very lightweight and thin, and probably wouldn’t give a comfortable grip if you have a large writing hand.

I guess you can spend a lot more on starter pen sets, but this seems to offer everything a budding calligrapher needs to learn his or her craft before getting out the old parchment. They seem very well made, the handle holds everything sturdily and the little really fine pen is pretty cool. There are some starter books and sites on the internet, so what you all waitin for?

Got these for cartooning and drawing Manga. Comes with a little instructional booklet, which is pretty handy. It actually does come with 9 nibs, 3 of which are fine point art nibs. These are great for small details, and though they’re a little scratchy at first, they will break in. This is a versatile set of nibs, basically everything you need to start cartooning.

I bought this set for my kids and I to play around with. We had gotten some feather pens with calligraphy nibs, but we were all having trouble getting good strong lines with the fine point nibs… these made such a difference! Would recommend

It’s Speedball! That should say it all! The nibs are wonderfully made without flaws, write very well, and hold ink for a long enough time to write quite a bit before re-dipping.The second pen for drawing is just as easy to hold for perfect penmenship and drawing and the original holder. If you love writing/drawing with specialty pens/inks, then this is for you. If you are looking to start a new hobby, this is a great start-up! Get some ink and paper and get started!
