My 2nd Sketchbox - Drawing Supplies Subscription Box

[olivermoss]

It was a bit hit or miss this time, but I am overall happy with it.

What the pen marks look like, and most of the pens:




The pens I used to write Pen 1 and Pen 2 each contain 'two super strong Neodymium magnets'. They have warnings on them about getting them near a computer or other electronics. I keep cameras and other things on my desktop so I am not sure that the super cool magnetic pens are worth it. You can do this with them:



Yeah, doesn't seem worth the risk. I have some magnetic items on my desk, but they are weaker magnets that don't pose a threat to anything.

Anyway, on to the other items!

The copic was a random color this time. I got a dark brown, which is useful to me. The white gel pen is for highlighting and I will likely get some good use out of it.

The gold brush pen needs to be taken apart and put back together to engage the cartridge. Sketchbox put an English translation sticker on the back! Very cool. Nice brush and a good amount of ink.

And the final item were a set of 12 fineline markers. I look forward to playing with them.

A good mix of items, but my happiness with Sketchbox is still mostly due to that inking pen from last time. I've used it loads and may order a box of them. It's what I've been needing.

And, here is the full info card on the tools:



Here is my post about my first box.

Hmm. Interesting to read the Uniball Signo is supposed to be able to write over just about anything as it didn't perform well on top of 4B/9B graphite when I tried it yesterday! Oh well. I've got a Kuretake refillable black pen, I didn't know they did gold ones too, that would be rather nice! I might see about getting one of those.

Thanks for sharing again.

I agree that the magnet pens don't seem worth it. The gold brush looks lovel!

Whoops, somehow I must have missed the post during the Christmas hustle and bustle. The gold pen looks really cool, and I need to get one of those white gel pens as well. Hm, the magnetic pens seem like a gimmicky invention noone needs...
