For several years, I was on a hunt for fountain pens with flexible nibs I could use for drawing. This video covers what I found. For quick sketching, I prefer a broader nib (fine to broad with flex. More flexible the better). Spencerian needlepoint modification (0.1mm) is very sharp and that would be more suited for slow careful drawings and certain kinds of calligraphy. I find that needlepoints feel scratchier since it is so sharp and also feel more fragile. And one more thing to note. I prefer eyedropper fountain pens. But one downside to them is that when the ink in the pen goes very low, the pen may burp ink. It's a small thing for me and I don't mind it. I just keep my eyedropper more than half full most of the time. But just so you know.
Special thanks to Greg Minuskin for taking time to share his knowledge on fountain pens and nibs in this video. (We actually did this interview twice! The first time, the audio wasn't recorded. He kindly did the interview a 2nd time!) There are other sites that also sell vintage fountain pens. But I've mostly bought from Greg and the pens from him are good, so I can safely recommend getting them from him:)
