FAQ – Drawing Pen Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen – Cities Set
Are these markers alcohol based?
No, they contain pigment ink based on India ink, which is acid-free, pH neutral, odorless, waterproof, and permanent once dry.
Do the Pitt Artist Pen series markers bleed through paper?
The Pitt Artist Pen series from Faber-Castell uses pigment ink based on India ink. This ink doesn't soak into the paper very quickly, so bleeding through is usually minimal, provided you're working on medium to heavyweight drawing paper (approx. 160 gsm or heavier).
On thin paper, such as printer paper or inexpensive sketchbook paper, slight shadowing on the back may be visible, especially with multiple layers or intense colouring.
Tip: For best results, use smooth drawing paper, watercolour paper, or special marker paper to prevent bleeding through.
What is a Fude point?
The Fude nibs are flexible brush tips specially designed for varying line thicknesses in a single stroke.
- FH (Fude Hard): A slightly firmer tip for greater control and clean lines, ideal for smaller details or calligraphy with consistent line thickness.
- FM (Fude Medium): A softer tip that flexes more smoothly, perfect for expressive lines, brush lettering, and dynamic sketches.
What is the difference between a Fude point and a Brush point?
A Brush point (such as the Pitt Artist Pen Brush) is a flexible point that resembles a painter's brush in shape and spring. This allows you to work smoothly from thin to thick lines, ideal for flowing areas of color, hatching, and expressive strokes.
A Fude point is also flexible, but often shorter and firmer, giving you more control over your line thickness. Fude is often used for calligraphy, ink drawings, and details where precision and variation within a single line are important.
In short:
- Brush point → longer, softer point, ideal for expressive strokes and colour.
- Fude point → shorter, slightly stiffer point, ideal for controlled line variation and calligraphy.
How long do the markers last?
With normal use, they last a long time. Always close the cap tightly to prevent them from drying out.
