FAQs
What type of paper is best for using the ABT Dual Brush Pens?
Smooth, thicker paper like marker paper or dedicated lettering paper is recommended to prevent ink from bleeding or feathering and to ensure the brush tip glides smoothly.
Can I refill the ABT Dual Brush Pens?
The ABT Dual Brush Pens included in this beginner set are not designed to be refilled. However, Tombow offers refillable options for some of their other brush pen lines.
Is the instruction booklet comprehensive enough for advanced users?
The instruction booklet is designed for beginners and covers the fundamental basics of hand lettering. Advanced users may wish to supplement their learning with additional tutorials or workshops.
What is the difference between the Fudenosuke brush pen and the ABT Dual Brush Pen?
The Fudenosuke brush pen has a smaller, firmer brush tip that offers more control for detailed work and sharper lines. The ABT Dual Brush Pen has a larger, more flexible brush tip suitable for bolder strokes and broader coverage.
How do I prevent the ink from drying out in the pens?
Always ensure the caps are securely fitted after each use. Store the pens horizontally to maintain even ink distribution and prevent premature drying.
What grade is the MONO 100 pencil?
The MONO 100 pencil included in this set is of grade 3H, which is a hard lead suitable for sketching light guidelines that are easy to erase.
Are the writing colors of the set limited to black and blue?
The writing colors of the ABT Dual Brush Pens included are black and cool grey. The Fudenosuke pen is black, and the MONO Twin marker is black. The product specifications may refer to general writing colors for the category, but the actual colors in this specific set are black and cool grey for the brush pens.
Troubleshooting
ABT Dual Brush Pen ink is not flowing smoothly.
Ensure the pen is capped when not in use. Try gently shaking the pen downwards to encourage ink flow. If the pen has been stored vertically for a long time, try storing it horizontally for a few hours.
Fudenosuke brush tip feels too stiff.
The Fudenosuke Hard Tip brush pen is designed for firm control and consistent lines. Apply light pressure for finer lines and slightly more for thicker strokes. Ensure you are using appropriate paper (smooth paper is recommended).
Pencil guidelines are smudging the ink.
Use lighter pressure when sketching with the MONO 100 pencil. Ensure ink is completely dry before erasing guidelines. The MONO eraser is designed for clean erasing, but gentle strokes are key.
MONO Twin marker bleeds through thin paper.
Use thicker, high-quality paper or place a protective sheet underneath when using the marker to prevent bleed-through.
