Before getting to this post, an update as of 2020: I no longer like these nibs. Why? Well I have found that if I do need a thin line, I can get that from careful use of the Super Brush nib. These bullet nibs have alcohol ink in them – which means they’ll bleed/spread, so they’re not giving you a line the way a waterbased marker would. That said, some people love them – so rock on. I haven’t found that they work badly or anything, just that I don’t have a use for them in my art.
I posted a video over on my 2nd channel a while back – but have had lots more questions since. So today – a quick update with suggestions on choosing pens you might want to swap out nibs on! Here’s the other channel first:
And now, today’s project:
Here’s the full clean and simple card – sometimes easy is best, eh?

Wonderful coloring and so adorable!
Love the colors you used and your work. Could you please list them. Also like the tip to replace as you use. Thanks
Thanks for showing us these tips — a real play on words!
Oh thank you! I bought a couple of packs of the new fine nibs a while back, and had all the questions you predicted! Now I have a better idea of how I want to use them and which markers I’ll want to change-out. Thanks, also for the valuable tip about not pushing them in too far – I probably would’ve ruined one nib, for sure! What WOULD we do without you?!
So cute Sandy. Thanks for the info on the nibs, great advice.
