My New Moleskine Pen

I think that I am steering away from the Pilot G2 as my daily pen and crossing over into the realm of Papermate and their X-tend ballpoint pen. I have always enjoyed the look off the ballpoint on paper and the feel is classic. The G2 provides a bold black line, which is awesome for details when drawing, but ballpoint is more comfortable. Literally more comfortable in the hand and just more comfortable using. Not sure if I will continue on with the G2, but I'll hold on to it none the less.

I find that regular Papermate Write Bros. pens work very well on Moleskine paper. The only problem is that they're ugly as hell:)

However, they have some new ones being sold as "cool colors" -- most drug stores and such have them, I think. The new blue ones are a very pretty color, with the same very smooth blue ink.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the book of ballpoint in a Moleskine:)

Yeah, some find ballpoints to be ugly. I am so used to drawing at school with them, so I am accustom to there look on paper. I'll check for there 'colors.' Thanks for the comment:)
