    Thats so cool! Incredible work

    Could I ask what pen(s) you used? On the right looks like a brush tip?

    I would love to know how you managed to get such clean lines, if you only used a brush tip type pen? Whenever I try with one, my hands either shake too much trying to be really gentle to get a fine line, or the line ends up way thicker than I intended.

    OP is not the original artist (and literally states the artist in the title) - I missed that, my bad. Not calling OP out

    If anyone has suggestions or comments on using brush pens, that would be really appreciated!

      I would just look into calligraphy-style pens! This is definitely doable with that type of pen; calligraphy itself is an art form requiring lots of brush control to get right, so mastering this brush requires tons of practice. But you definitely can achieve the control to get both fine and thick lines out of one tool, so that’s a plus :)

      Also, this sort of brush, imo, when done right, introduces a lovely organic ‘jitter’ feeling to line art.

      This is a common one I’ve seen: https://a.co/d/fBBulyU
