I use the EF(extra fine) nib for drawing, as Lamy nibs tend to run large. Many of us who sketch prefer the black-finish nib over the stainless one --- it seems to glide more smoothly.<br />A Lamy converter makes refilling ink easy; just be sure you use an ink made for fountain pens. Noodler's Lexington gray is great for sketching -- water-resistant and subtle as a graphite pencil.Vicky L.

(though they are good ones) There are so many great ones out there! Lamy fountain pens are real work-horses, hard to mess up.<br /><br />And I "deserve" better paper than this handmade paper! It greatly restricts what tools I can use. But it was a gift from a beloved son who knew I would love the leather cover, so I refuse to replace the paper inside. Sentimental? Of course!Vicky L.
