The pigment soft brush pen 372 is the softer-nibbed sibling of the 371, and the extra flex is the point: it gives a wider swing between a hairline and a full-width stroke, which is what shading wants. This is the six-pen grey set — warm greys, cool greys and intense black. The Multi Ink is a water-based translucent India ink, pigmented for extreme lightfastness, permanent and waterproof once dry so it can be overpainted without smudging. Suited to hand lettering, sketches, drawings and illustration — particularly for depth and shading.
