  I love that I've found a new hobby full of passionate people. I'm particularly interested in using a fountain pen to replace my fineliners when sketching for watercolour painting.

  This video is EXCELLENT! My god. This is how you demonstrate nibs thoroughly. Every possible question I had about the TWSBI nibs has been addressed here. You all are so wonderful with your videos. Thank you so much. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure to watch.

  Great video! I love the level of detail you went into here <br><br>One suggestion: if you had your line thinknesses on a transparency, you could use that to overlay over the pen lines to see what is the thinnest pre-measured line that would fully cover the pen line. It could standardize the control lines and reduce ambiguity as to which line it matches best (I’d recommended using a different color on the transparency and on the page)

  TWSBI use both Bock and Yowo nibs.<br><br>It is a myth that all European nibs are always broader than Asian nibs. Even with Japanese nibs there is quite a difference between one manufacturers fine and that of another. <br>I do wish manufacturers would quite line widths, but they can&apos;t as there is quite a bit of variation between nibs of the same manufacturer because of manufacturing tolerances. <br><br>None of this detracts from your video which is great. Thanks.

  This video is so helpful! Thank you for doing such a detailed comparison of the TWSBI nibs. I know I&apos;m commenting almost 2 years <b>after</b> you posted this video, but I had a thought as I was watching: do you think that TWSBI would ever do a collaboration with Yoseka, to create an Eco with Yoseka green accents? That would be so cool. :)
