Very happy with this pen, which did exactly what I wanted it to. Good quality of the ink itself, enabling me to both correct a cartridge pen sketch and act as a stylistic tool for a pop art piece (where I wanted to blend felt tips into a pseudo-Ben Day Dot pattern). Worked very well with the felt tip pens; my words of caution would be1) To let it dry & don't try to do too much with it all at once (you'll have to keep a tissue nearby to keep the nib clean but for me that is no bother at all).2) Be realistic about what you can achieve with it. It's not a correction fluid, though it can act like one if you use it cautiously. It can certainly cover up light pencil marks but see point 3 if you're trying to go over anything heavier.3)

I've bought two or three of these over the years and find them to be great for adding highlights to artwork - more convenient than carrying a tube of white gouache around. However, for white splatters stick with gouache and a brush. Adding dots of white pen doesn't tend to produce the random quality of paint. I love the broad lines this pen produces. It is possible to get finer lines using less pressure. Only problem is that it is supposed to be permanent pigment ink but if used as a correction pen with line and wash the watercolour paint dissolves the white ink, so the error underneath is visible again even when the ink has been left to dry for days.The pens seem to last a long time.

Just ordered a second of this pen as my first ran out!I can't get enough of it, I love to draw and have been recently experimenting with tattoo style designs but unfortunately due to medication my hands can get slight tremors - This pen has been perfect for tidying up the odd bit of a rough line, as well as a really nice highlight over top of colours already put down.You can see the colour through it juuuust barely, but honestly I think that adds to the effect if anything!I used water base brush pens for this, and what actually ended up really working out was the gel pen can actually be blended out by the brush pens to give you a more gradient look to things like hair etc. :)

After some research, I decided to go with this specific gel pen, having read that it glides well and is nice and vibrant. - And it does and is. But when it dries, I do sometimes have to go back over a line, as the one I have already laid down has become slightly translucent. I'm not sure what causes this, as quite often the ink or surface beneath these patches will be exactly the same as they are beneath the unaffected areas, but it's easily fixed so it doesn't bother me too much. The lines also come out slightly raised from the paper, so you can produce a nice, textured effect if that's what you're looking for.

Not only are these very cheap, they are AMAZING quality. They have lasted so long and the ink is amazingly saturated. I have used white pens before and they are normally dull in colour or dont give off that much. these pens were the opposite. The only thing I have to say is to wait for them to dry. I have turned the page automatically after writing and it transfers onto the other, but I will not take a star away because that is no fault of my own. If you are looking for a white pen that lasts long, is easy to hold, very cheap and does the job, you have it here.

I ordered this white gel pen based on the YouTuber DrawingWiffWaffles' recommendation video and I'm really pleased with it.It's a really bright white and is perfect for adding highlights or for use on coloured paper. I've mainly used it to draw over Gouache (as pictured, the black background is painted) and it does an excellent job. It can catch and need cleaning with the bottom of my finger every once in a while but that's not surprising when drawing over paint.The quality of this gel pen makes me want to try the other colours.

Having purchased various other brands of white gel pens and been very disappointed, as they rarely lasted more than a few uses, I thought I would give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find it so much better than any of the others. I have used it a few times already and it is still flowing freely. Time will tell, but I have a feeling I am not going to be disappointed this time. In fact, I am thinking of sending for some more as I will be using it quite a bit on my Christmas card projects and other projects besides.

Great pen, doesn't 'gunk-up' doesn't need lots of shaking and encouragement to work and has a fine enough tip to not compromise one's handwriting too much (obviously it is not as fine as a biro, so you have to write a bit bigger). Very good, thick, very white, ink coverage, so for the purpose I bought it, writing descriptions on black paper in a photo album, it was perfect. Plus, I have now had it a while and every time I get it out to use it works fine, when I was expecting it to dry out after first use. So very pleased.

I've been look for a decent white pen to add to my stationery collection for a while and now I can confidently say I have one and I would recommend it to other people that are in need of a white penPros:- When used on top of other stationery items the pen produces a true white colour- The design of the pen is very nice and easy to hold- Less expensive than other white pens- Smooth when using itCons:- When using it on top of markers that I consistently use, the ink goes milky doesn't retain its whiteness

This is a fabulous, fabulous white ink pen, though I find I use it most of all for covering up tiny mistakes in my drawings! It works really well on black (and presumably coloured) paper, giving a clear and very satisfying line. Not so good for blocking in shapes, but only because the line is quite fine, and you can make nice dots fatter than the line, by working the pen lightly in a circle. The ink is a lovely very clean white.It scratches off if you go over the top after the ink has dried.

with a cursive and rather quick motion, you can add fine line details. it needs a bit of practice, but other than that, the pen really feels different in your hand. it is so smooth and enjoyable to use. one think to mention: the ink is rather thick and so uf you run your hand over the writing/ drawing after it dries, you can feel the layer of ink on the paper. it does not matter as all hand made/original works ( not prints) have a texture to them from the different mediums used on the paper

I love this pen so much! I had seen white gel pens used a lot for finishing highlights in artwork, and had been using the regular white gel pen to do so but wasn't quite getting the results that I wanted. I saw someone on YouTube use the signs broad pen instead of the regular one so bought this to try and WOW! Was exactly what I was after. A much stronger pigment and exactly what I wanted. If you want to use a white gel pen for artwork, this is the one to get!

I work with monotone hues in my artwork primarily dip and fineline pens, and have always used sakura gellyrolls and rated them the highest. I WISH I had found this first! The ink flow is MUCH better, and alot more pigmented, more of a bright white. Maybe hard to see comparisons here but for super critical will see the difference. Alot more fojnf over with the helly and some line breakage not present with this yet plus they're cheaper! I'm converted!

I take this pen out with me when I go sketching with watercolour. I tend to use masking fluid to retain areas of brightness and light in my work - however on the odd occasion that I either forget to do an area, or it is too cold or wet to use masking fluid - I have one of these pens. The pigment and opacity of this ink is equivalent to using the fluid, and it is perfect for adding some more hi-lights. A great addition to your outside sketching kit!

I wanted a white pigment pen for scrapbooking. It needed to be thin and flow easily, unlike tippex. After a brief search I found this one, which fills all the criteria i need. Writing slower means the white comes out thicker, but the ink is still clearly visable for fast writing such as signatures. The nib doesn't block, and when it runs out I will certainly be replacing with this make. I would certainly recommend this to other scrapbookers.
