A water-based pigment pen designed to complement the MD Notebook
The MD Drawing Pen uses water-based pigment ink with excellent water resistance.
Available in three line widths appropriate for everyday use, it expands the range of expressive writing and sketching.
Each pen’s width can be identified at a glance by the “solid line” printed on the barrel, allowing users to intuitively pick the right thickness even when the pen is lying on a desk.
The barrel features a cream color that pairs beautifully with the MD Notebook, blending gently with the paper’s tone to create a harmonious look when placed side by side.
