FAQs

What kind of paper should I use?

You can use any paper suitable for drawing. Consider using drawing paper, sketchbooks, or bristol board for best results. Avoid using very thin paper, as the ink may bleed through.

Are the pens waterproof?

Yes, the Pitt Artist Pens use waterproof and lightfast ink, making them suitable for combining with watercolour and other media.

Can I use the pens on fabric?

While the pens can be used on a variety of surfaces, they are not specifically designed for fabric. The ink may not adhere well, and the results might not be permanent.

How do I clean the pens?

There is no need to clean the pens. The nibs are designed to be disposable. If the nib becomes damaged, you will need to replace the pen.

What is the warranty?

The Faber-Castell Manga Starter Set has a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I buy replacement leads and erasers?

Yes, replacement 0.5mm leads and erasers are readily available from Faber-Castell and art supply stores.

Are the pens refillable?

No, the Pitt Artist Pens included in the set are disposable pens and are not refillable.

Troubleshooting

Pen ink appears faded or inconsistent.

Ensure the pen cap is securely closed when not in use. Try shaking the pen gently to redistribute the ink. If the problem persists, try a new pen or replace the ink cartridge.

Mechanical pencil lead breaks easily.

Use a light hand when sketching. Do not extend the lead too far. Consider using a harder lead grade (e.g., HB) for initial sketches.

Eraser leaves smudges.

Use a gentle touch when erasing. Consider using a different type of eraser, such as a kneaded eraser, for more precise corrections.

Manikin joints are loose.

Tighten the joints carefully. If they are permanently loose, consider replacing the manikin or using it for static poses.
