What do you write with?

[shadowfighter]

I use pencil or a fine tip felt marker for most stuff, but it really depends on what I'm doing, I'm pretty flexible.*

 

*flexible does not mean good

[Gladtobemom]

 

Eagle dip pen, I use this with Pilot Drafting ink mostly for absolutely waterproof drawing. It is thin enough to fit into the neck of a nail polish bottle for an ink well. (just snapped off the brush stick from the lid with a pair of diagonal cutters).

 

Osmiroid Sketch nib on Esterbrook King of Pens body . . . juicy and magnificent variation of line. My FAVORITE sketch nib of all. I can dropper fill this from a visine bottle.

Sailor EF on demonstrator body (I can SEE how much ink)

Visconti Inkwell, I carry Platinum Carbon Ink for my Sailor, works beautifully. It works great with the sailor.

Ackerman Brush pen, best water brush ever!

[dreamtosleep]

Anything I can get my hands on! My brother is constantly kidnapping the pencils though, so a lot of the time I end up with a pen.

[StormBirdRising]

I use a Bic round stic ballpoint pen that I bought at Staples. There were 60 of them in the box and they were on sale for $5.00. When they run out of ink I just throw it away and take another one out of the box.

[clara954]

I mainly use mechanical pencils, but I have extra boxes of wooden pencils, many different kinds of pens, markers, crayons, etc. that I open whenever they are the closer option.

[Natevaelle]

I use the traditional mediums for writing rarely now. I make use of my smart phone and laptop for everything. However, when I do use traditional mediums, I just use whatever I see lying around, usually a normal ballpoint pen for writing notes on scratch paper or a gel pen / sign pen with black ink for writing on notebooks and important documents.

[LadyCrooked]

Blood of my victims.

 

...

 

Seriously though,

I've had a pen with red ink in it, shaped like a syringe, it wrote beautifully and it was my go-to pen, and I carried it around everywhere. Now I just have to make do with whatever boring writing utensil is nearby.

*sighs*

[MusicalMaladies]

Mostly what's on hand, but I prefer to write with pen because IT. DOESN'T. SMUDGE.

[andromedae]

Computer. I often write with a pen too.

[Artius]

I strongly prefer to use computer when I creat documents. Always use the keyboard at work.

[gigglymonkey12]

I like using pencils for homework and tests.

I like pens for taking notes.

---

I tried using my laptop to take notes once.

Never. again.

It was so hard to do everything quickly...especially if there are diagrams or anything like that that I have to copy

[SlyFox]

Usually pens for everything. I always used pens when I took notes in college, and now even that I'm long graduated. I use only pencils when playing D&D (soft wood/soft graphite only and never mechanical). I prefer the keyboard for anything else.

[Blueocean]

Keyboard for typing anything of length. (I HATE touchscreen keyboards) I am a total pen enthusiast, but I frequently use pencils at work for making schedules and such. But I usualy prefer the feel of the pen best for handwriting.

 

[Qwesi]

Generally a standard ink pen or pencil.

[Arakaari]

I broke my index finger and taped a mechanical pencil to it.

 

 

Does that count? lmao

[sh20000sh]

Still use pencil and fountain pen but using fountain pen more frequently these days. (also, most of job is done with MS word though.)

[Wildmoon]

I like to write with either gel pens, or fountain pens - anything that uses ink.

 

I like to watch the ink slowly dry on the paper as I write sometimes - it can be strangely calming to me. Sometimes I just sit and write words, perhaps lyrics or quotes, and I do so slowly, watching the ink dry.

 

I'm weird.

No you're not, I do that too.

Maybe we're both weird.

 

Anyways, recently I've been using a calligraphy pen and I've ONLY been writing calligraphy instead of actual words, but I love it and I've drained a lot of ink.

[greenglassesgal]

Laptop mostly, since my classes handle most of their assignments digitally. I prefer pencils and erasable pens for written work because I tend to erase a lot.

[PaperCakes]

I just write with whatever is there at the time unless there are specific requirements. I once used a pair of scissors to write b/c I couldn't be bothered to get my pencil case. It... Didn't work out well.

[Jumonji]

I pretty much exclusively use pens at this point unless I'm typing something up.

[TehUltimateMage]

I'm weak. I bought a fifth (!) fountain pen last week. But this one has a calligraphy nib! I'm also addicted to fountain pen inks...

[CitrusFlavours]

Since I started University, I've been mainly using my laptop to take notes in lectures, to the point where the only time I really write with a pen is in exams...

 

But I really love using fountain pens. I currently have three that I use and they're all the usual Parker fountain pens.

[Clya]

Honestly whatever I can grab. Drawing pencil? Sure why not. Red pen? Wouldn't hurt. The only thing I prefer to write with is my laptop, I can type extremely quickly and accurately so whenever I'm writing it's a breeze.

[Cookie]

Since I finished high school, I've rarely use pens. I mostly type things up, it's easier on my fingers and more readable. When I need to write, usually grab a standard black pen. Nothing fancy.
