A stainless steel pen, 8cm long. However when you unscrew the top, the 'nib' is a solid piece of metal. There is no ink, yet this pen will write on virtually any type of paper. This is what it looked like when we tried it on a piece of normal paper...I imagine this is something similar to silverpoint drawing, which I've never tried, but I would like to access one of these pens, if for nothing but curiosity's sake.
The sketch I did a couple of weeks ago. The face was appealing, as are most older faces which have character. I find drawing a young face almost boring at times as there is little substance to draw from and hold interest. Yes youth has its appeal, but an older face is so much more interesting to draw.

Great work with that portrait. The eyes and face really capture a 'sad' story and seem to tell of a hard life spent on the fishing boats.
I have seen those pens advertised before, but wasn't sure if it was a scam/gimmick. Are you happy with the pen? Is it really as simple as they make it sound on the website?
Thanks widower. The face was very appealing to draw.
I came across a link for the pen and thought I'd share it, but I don't have one myself. It would be nice to try it however.
I wish if i can share my art reserch portal with you.
