Probably one of the most frequent questions I get about hand lettering is “what are my favorite pens?” To be honest, I use the same pens as everyone else does. I am pretty basic, nothing fancy. But I’ll list them out here anyways 1.) My favorite practice markers that I use to write on anything and everything are your basic Crayola broad tip super markers. I also like the Crayola super tips as well. These are both awesome because (1) they’re cheap and (2) I don’t care when I fray their tips. 2.) My favorite actual flex tip markers are the Tombow Fudenosuke ones. If I could only choose one I’d pick the hard tip one, but I also use the soft tip. My favorite place to buy these is Amazon. I also occasionally use the Tombow dual brush pens as well. I like these because they have so many colors and because the hard tip on the other end is kind of a fun accessory. My only problem with these is the flexible tip is very large. So I usually only use these when I’m working on a larger piece or a short 1-3 word quote. 3.) My favorite watercolor pen is the Pentel Aquash water brush with a fine tip. I usually use these with my watercolor palate and most of my watercolors are Windsor and Newton. 4.) I don’t use an actually calligraphy nib and ink very often but the ones I do use are Nikko G nib and black Sumi ink. 5.) And finally, the tool I actually use 90% of the time these days, my iPad Pro. I use the Procreate app to do my lettering, and my favorite pen to use is @Radandhappy’s brush pen. I also occasionally use her mono pen too. And that’s it! Those are my go to and my favorite hand lettering supplies!

Hi, thank you! And my sheets aren’t specifically designed for Procreate, but you can definitely import them into Procreate and draw on top of them!
