About this material

Pigma is a Sakura pen with water-based pigment ink. Once dry, the ink does not run with water, and it does not fade easily in direct sunlight. Lines stay sharp even when a highlighter goes over them. Line sizes start at 003, the finest at about 0.15 mm, and go through 005, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 08, 1, 2 and 3. There is also a Fine version that can show the stops, hooks and sweeps of handwriting, and a Brush version with a brush-like tip that also works for coloring. Each pen is sold on its own, and there are 3-pen and 5-pen sets. Because the ink is waterproof, it works well for line drawings under watercolor.
