I often get asked about what brush I'm using, especially when I'm out drawing metal concerts or in the wild. And the answer is very often the Pentel Color Brush, a very practical little brushpen with incredible versatility. I've been using it since 1998 or so, and this video goes through my history with it, including finding out that great artists and inspirations Yoji Shinkawa and Kim Jung Gi also used the very same brush. Now, neither Shinkawa or Kim Jung Gi or me use or used this brush exclusively, I love playing around with different tools, but it has been such an incredible SUPPORT: Youtube:    / @denungeherrholm   Patreon:   / kimholm   Store: https://denungeherrholm.com THE TOOLS I USE: All these tools are things I use myself. That being said, there’s so many great brands, big and small, that produce amazing alternatives, and you can also get them from other stores than Amazon. However, if you use the affiliate links below, I get a small cut. All of the sets recommended below will include color or brush variations that might be superfluous.
