***Correction!!! I recharged the pen after the tutorial and used it again and I got 30 minutes of continuous use from a charge.***
Pen & Ink Poppy with Watercolor Wash PLUS Review/First Impression of Cuttlelola DotsPen
This is a demonstration using the Cuttlelola DotsPen electric stippling pen. This is my first time using the pen other than to make sure it worked:) You can find this product here: [ Ссылка ]
The pen is $58 and the refill pack of 5 inks is $3.50 ***I want to play with this pen some more, please visit my blog in a couple days for more info! [ Ссылка ]
The pen charges with a provided USB cord, it charges quickly and can be used while plugged in. The instructions that came in the kits said that it can be used for 40 minutes in one charge but I did not get those results from a charge. I fully charged the pen 2 day ago and di not use it until today and I only got 4 minutes of drawing time BUT I was using it in high speed so maybe that was a factor.
PROS:
Fun to use
Easy to use (this is my first attempt)
Fast- I usually do not do stippling because I do not like the time it takes, this is quick and easy!
Waterproof ink great for pen and ink with watercolor washes
Compact-everything fits in a reusable tin
Affordable ink refills-these inks cost about the same as other pen refills. (shipping is extra)
Rechargeable with a USB cord (included) but it is the same cord that my other electronics use so it is convenient.
Cons:
The pen is large and may cause fatigue or discomfort after prolonged use.
*After more testing I realized if you use the pen right away after charging I got 30 minutes per charge which as adequate for most drawing plus at that point you might want to take a break.
Initial Price (although I think it is well priced for what it is and if you are a working illustrator it would pay for itself quickly)
Bottom line: I think it is a great invention . It is fun and easy to use. I wish a batter charge lasted longer, I will try using it again strait after charging to ensure that I have the best possible results. I would recommend this to any illustrator who wants the look of stippling in less time.
