Wanna set yourself a creative challenge? Then why not use this week to prep for Inktober with PIN fine line pens.
Taking part in Inktober is fun and creative. The month-long art challenge was created by artist Jake Parker and is focused on developing positive drawing habits.
Every day for the month of October people taking part in the Inktober challenge creates an ink drawing and posts it online. The drawings are meant to be in black as it’s a celebration of drawing with ink. Remember to use the hashtags #inktober and #inktober2022 if you want your black and white art to be seen.
Perfect PINs
uni-PIN fine line drawing pens are ideal for Inktober.
They draw in super black ink that looks amazing for a range of drawing and hand-lettering projects.
The black PIN range has expanded from 14 to 18 calibrated tip sizes. In addition to its standard shape sizes, from delicate 0.03 to robust 1.2 nib, plus an expressive brush tip, the range now has three new chisel tips for calligraphy. It also includes an Extra Fine brush tip made with real bristles.
The fine tip pen creates a solid pigment ink line that is clean and precise. The ink is water resistant too so the drawing pens can be used with watercolour and will not smudge when wet.
Lots of PINs to choose from
We recently released new uni-PIN packs. The packs are completely biodegradable and printed in a sustainable way. This means that as well as being plastic free we have used vegetable inks and less wastage than conventional printing processes. They are also made in the UK, reducing air miles.
