I'm starting off with 0.38mm black gel pens
This first one is a Pilot G2
I'm not sure what the brand of this one is
but the barrel says it's by Deli
They look pretty much the same on paper
but I prefer the Pilot G2
because it's smoother
and the grip is more comfortable
Next up are black pens with a 0.5mm tips
This is gel pen from Muji
which is currently filled with a Pentel Energel refill
I'm not a big fan of the body of this pen
it's a little uncomfortable to write with
Next is the Uni-ball Signo UM-100
I think this is a pretty good pen
but again, the body is a little uncomfortable to write with
Next, the Uni-ball Jetstream
which is currently also filled with a Pentel Energel refill
And lastly, the Zebra Sarasa
This has my favorite pen body because of the extended grip
as I hold my pens really close to the tip
As you've probably guessed
my favorite ink is the Pentel Energel
because it's super smooth and it dries quickly
The Signo and Sarasa are both very smooth as well
but they don't dry quite as quickly
And my only 0.7mm gel pen
is a Pilot G2
I honestly don't like this pen that much
because it railroads a lot
but I have it because I found it on the ground
Next are my two black fineliners
which are Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens
and the two sizes I have are S and XS
S is 0.3mm
and XS is 0.1mm
I don't use these very often
because I think my handwriting looks weird when I use fineliners
but occasionally I'll use them in my bullet journal
because they use archival quality India ink
Here are swatches of all of my black pens
and how much they bleed through
My favorite is definitely the Pentel Energel
combined with a Zebra Sarasa body
Next are my gray and silver gel pens
This is a gray Zebra Sarasa
with a 0.5mm tip
The gray one railroads a bit more than the black one
This is a silver Uni-ball Signo UM-100
with a 0.8mm tip
The silver is really opaque and shiny
Here's how the silver Signo looks on black paper
as you can see it's super shimmery
which is really nice for adding accents
This my only white gel pen
and it's the Uni-ball Signo UM-153 Broad
It's really opaque
and it's great for adding decorations in my bullet journal
Here's how it looks on black paper
These are my red gel pens
both of which have 0.7mm tips
First I have a Pilot G2
And I also have a Uni-ball Signo 207
I don't use these red pens very often
I only use them when I'm correcting my work in class
I don't have a strong preference between these two
but if I had to I'd go with the Uni-ball Signo
These are my markers
This is an ultra fine Sharpie
which isn't really special in any way
I just have it in case I need a permanent marker
Next up, my Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen
with the 1,5 tip
I like to use this tip for larger headers and titles in my bullet journal
Lastly is a Stabilo 68 marker
I like this one a lot, but it's too long to fit in my pencil case
so it's inconvenient to take it with me anywhere
My favorite of these three is the Pitt Artist pen
because it doesn't bleed through the pages of my notebooks like the Sharpie
and it has a sturdier tip than the Stabilo 68
I have 10 Zebra Mildliners in the colors
Vermilion, golden yellow, green, blue green, smokey blue, dark blue, violet, magenta, brown, dark gray, and gray
I really like to use these when I'm taking notes
To be honest, Zebra Mildliners are not the best highlighters in terms of quality
but I was drawn to these because of the beautiful colors
Don't get me wrong, these are still great highlighters
and I find the marker tip really useful for decorative notetaking
But I have another highlighter brand
that's my favorite in terms of smoothness and features
And that highlighter brand is the Uni Propus Window
And I have two in the soft colors
the teal and the purple
I like these because the window allows you
to see the text behind them for easier highlighting
and they also have a marker tip for underlining
There aren't so many colors
so I prefer using these for reading and annotation
I only have one mechanical pencil
because I definitely prefer pen over pencil
This is the Pilot 2020
with the 0.5mm lead
I have two types of 0.5mm lead
The Uni NanoDia and the Ain Stein HB Soft
I honestly can't tell the difference between the two
If you watch my study with me videos
I often do practice tests on a whiteboard
and here are my whiteboard markers
The Pentel Knockle is a whiteboard brush marker
which is really fun to use to make headers for my practice tests
And the markers I use for writing
are the ultra fine Expo markers
The black one is for the questions
and I use colored ones to answer and correct my questions
I really like these because they're so thin that
they're practically like using a regular pen
except it's on a whiteboard
Here are what all my whiteboard markers look like in use
By the way if you want to learn brush lettering
like I'm doing right now, I'll link a video in the top right corner in the cards
I hope you guys enjoyed this video
I'll try to link all of the pens I mentioned in the description box
I also post pictures of me using these supplies
on my Tumblr and Instagram, which I'll link in the description as well
I upload new videos every Monday and Friday
See you next time!
