The New Colors of Pentel Brush Sign Pens

February 7, 2020

New Pentel Brush Pen Colours via Happy Hands Project

Oh look, new colors! I’ve been a fan of Pentel brush sign pens for a very long time, and I’m so glad to be able to give you guys a first look at these new colors. They come in the same flexible tips that we all love, perfect for beginners and seasoned lettering artists alike.

There are twelve new colors of the Pentel brush sign pen. I wrote the colors of each pen and I must say that except for the light colored ones, the shades are all very vibrant and highly saturated. Burgundy and turquoise green have amazing contrast against my white card stock.

The grey blue and pale pink pens, albeit light, still showed up nicely on the white textured card stock. These pens are perfect for brush lettering and illustrations. The pale pink looks like cherry blossoms and it’s a very pretty shade.

When composing brush lettering pieces with these pens, my advice is to use the darker shades for the words and use the light and pale ones for flourishes and illustrations. Mix and match. Experiment. It’s going to be fun!

Brush lettering has now become even more exciting with these new shades! The new colors of Pentel brush sign pens will be available from the 8th of February 2020 here in Singapore.

Ligaya is joy in Filipino 🇵🇭    I took this folded Ligaya is joy in Filipino 🇵🇭 
 
I took this folded pen out of hibernation and I’m so so glad it’s still in good condition. It’s basically a folded piece of metal attached to a holder, and you dip it in ink and just write with it.  
 
My folding pen skills may be rusty, but the pen is not, so that’s still a good thing. 😂 Here I wrote using a mint green ink on 100% cotton paper.

Potatoes and calligraphy? 🥔➕✍🏻    Potatoes have be Potatoes and calligraphy? 🥔➕✍🏻 
 
Potatoes have been used by some to prep their new nibs before use. I’ve always had my doubts, so I made a little experiment to see if it actually works.  
 
Yes it does!  
 
However, I still prefer my own way of cleaning nibs. I just spray rubbing alcohol on a new nib and wipe it off, and it’s ready to use. I hate wasting a potato (even if it’s just a small one) just for my nibs.  
 
What’s your favorite way of prepping new nibs? ✨

Instead, Sunflower Fields surprised me with a warm amber that turns into a burnt-orange shade as it dries. It’s like an entire sunflower field under the late afternoon sun. 
 
It’s warm and earthy, and I can see that it’s perfect for autumn journal spreads, cozy letters, and sketchbook accents. I tried to paint a rose with it, too! 
 
Sometimes the best inks are the ones that don’t match our expectations.

If you’re visiting Tokyo for stationery, don’t ove If you’re visiting Tokyo for stationery, don’t overlook Loft Ikebukuro! ✨
 
While the Shibuya and Ginza branches are popular, I found the Ikebukuro location easier to browse because it felt less crowded during my visit. It also had a great selection of notebooks, pens, inks, and journaling supplies, so I never felt like I was compromising by skipping the busier stores. 
 
It’s four levels within the Seibu Department Store and is just beside the train station. There’s also a small cafe where my kids hung out, while my husband and I took turns shopping.  
 
If you only had time for one Loft, which would you choose?
