Another pen I use a lot is the Pilot Cocoon fountain pen, with the Iroshizuku Tsukushi dark brown ink pictured in the image. It has a fine nib and is really easy to draw with, the lines are really smooth and flow well. Before buying it I never had much of clue about fountain pens, mostly I just used gel pens and fine liners for drawing, but on a trip to Tokyo I decided to get a fancier one. It wasn't super expensive, around £40 and the ink was £20.
Not having a converter for the ink I use a printer refill syringe to refill the cartridge and it's relatively painless.
Having had some Lamy pens in the past, even with fine nibs they were nowhere near as good for drawing as the Pilot ones.
One thing about the ink is that it's not waterproof, it does work with Copics quite nicely, but bleeds heavily with any watercolours on top.- Here's a review. It's a slightly different version for the US called a Metropolitan, but it almost looks the same https://www.youtube.…PhanLo
