Hello.

I do drawings like this one (1) I have two fude nib fountain pens: Hongdian pen with converter and bent nib 0.5-1.2mm (2 left) Inkursive Manga pen (2 right)

I love my Hongdian pen, but the ink capacity is limited compared to the inkursive. (3) The inkursive has a greater ink capacity but its nib is shorter and less useful to me. (4)

I'm looking for a fountain pen that would combine the ink capacity of the Inkursive and the amazing bent nib of the Hongdian.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Asian fude nibs are a blast for art and very expressive!

There is one fude fountain pen that utterly stands out in terms of having insane line variation with a feed that can keep up without leaking everywhere and as far as I am aware except for some obscure Sailor nibs that are far more expensive (not the cheap sailor fude pen which is great but incapable of extreme line variation) it isn't even close.

It is the Duke 551
