Different Nibs Produce Different Results

Apr 21, 2022

The tip of a marker pen is called a nib, and nibs come in different sizes and shapes that create different effects. The three main types of nibs are brush nibs, chisel nibs and thin nibs.

 

The brush tip looks like a small paintbrush and feels like a brush when applied to paper. It is one of the larger nibs and is perfect for your large area work. Many artists find the feel of the brush tip to be the most natural because you can press with the heavier end of the marker or the thinnest tip of the brush to create different effects.

 

A chisel tip is a short, angled tip with a sloping edge that creates thick and thin lines, depending on how you hold it. Chisel nibs are great for covering large spaces, calligraphy, handwriting, and creating different thick and thin layers without switching markers or nibs.

 

Thin nibs, sometimes called bullet nibs, are elongated nibs best used for creating small details and outlines. Many artists use fine nibs for their initial drawings or sketches, although they can also be used to color in small areas and add intricate detail.

 

Some alcohol pens come with double-ended nibs that provide greater flexibility and opportunity to create different marks and effects.

 

When you buy a new alcohol-based pen or brush that you haven't used before, take some time to make a color swatch to get an accurate idea of the color on the paper. While doing this, test different nibs with different pressures.

 

By placing your hand in different positions or applying pressure, you can change the way the ink appears on the paper.
