Is this an ideal pen to use if I want to draw on my photos? Thank you!

It's pretty good. I wouldn't say ideal. It takes a little getting used to the buttons.

Yes! I use this to draw full on logo designs, and ads in the Adobe Creative Suite. I highly recommend it over a mouse any day when it comes to the art aspect of design.

Hi Supermom: You can use this pen with the little ink cartridges made for it or you can use the refillable one that comes with it. You just hold the valve end into a bottle of ink while pulling up on the little plunger which sucks the ink into the chamber and, bingo! Insert it into the nib just like you would a prefilled cartridge. Get ink specifically for fountain pens. Other inks may clog the nib too often. If it is archival quality it will say so on the bottle. These pens are not maintenance free at all. But if you get one that flows really well, it is a joy to use. Certain people just like the scratch and flow of liquid ink vs. ball point pens. The calligraphy squared-off nib on this peb is especially fun and there aren't very many fountain pen manufacturers that make a really high end pen with a calligraphy nib. This one is not considered high end, but it is much nicer than the plastic ones. (I'm not knocking the plastic ones - I like anything with different width nibs and a good flow!) Lots of Duke owners love this pen. Mine won't flow so I'm going to try a higher quality ink to see if that helps. There are other adjustments I can try before I give up on it - it's a great looking, good-feeling pen and the nib is nice quality. TMI?

Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to this. I have since sold my Pen and upgraded to a Canon.

I am a writer, and I like the responsiveness of the nib. But, I think it would be a good sketch pen as well.

Best for photography would be the HD clear. However, all of them, with the exception of the anti-glare, would offer as close to true color and minimize distortion. For the stylus pen, all of them would work fine. Best impact resistance would be, hands down the ballistic glass. It's tempered glass, which I use on my phone, and have given demonstrations with using the pointy end of a key. Doesn't leave a scratch.

I have tried this pen with watercolors and had no issues. I used bristol board when I did this, may want to give the ink a good amount of hours to set before testing it out. If you look in the description, it does say that the ink IS permanent and water/ fade resistant, so unless you go super crazy with the water to the point the paper is coming apart, you should be just fine :)

I don't know friend, I use it on my iPad and as far as I know this pen was designed for using it on tablets.

This stylus would be great for taking notes, however there are cheaper options that would work just as well. The main feature of this one is that it has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity. This is great for drawing, but if you're only taking notes you might not need that feature. You could go with the Jot Flip, Jot Pro, & Jot Script.

Yes its worked great for me. outline drawings are actually the best. color photos n stuff come out blurry usually. but yes for outlines its awesome. I'm happy with the machine. jus make sure ur outline is nice n dark. it comes out perfect every time.

Its better than any of the pens I have found so far, I baught this so customers could sign my Samsung phone or tablet, and it does alot better than the large tip pens, but be careful because the rubber tip falls out. And its very hard to find once lost. Hope this helps.

We have not used this pen thus far...have had no need to do so. To the best of my knowledge it should not pose the problem you are concerned about. Happy drawing!

It does OK. It's the best stylus I've found and a the pen is handy, but like all stylus's (styli?) on the market, the tip is about the same diameter as the rest of it so while thin lines can be drawn (depending on your app, of course, where that line is might not be exactly where you wanted it because of the size of the tip.

I would agree with Chris Frenzy. Great to introduce you to a graphic pen/tablet. I also mainly use with Photoshop, but so far with Illustrator we haven't experienced any problems. It definitely does the job!

Only as a normal stylus because you would need to be on at least iOS 7 to run the smart apps and software required to make the drawing pressure sensitivity functional. So you would be better off with a soft-grip standard stylus and spend less money on it. A great wide-body stylus with grip and ergonomic design is the Cosmonaut. Well worth the $30. Or Wacom's other economical stylus' are good too. Happy shopping. :-)

I have never tried writing on the back of photographs. Sakura pens are great permanent pens, making fine crisp lines that do not smudge when used to draw outlines and fine details on watercolor paintings.

I would say yes; the pen seems well built and attached well but I would test the tip often just in case. I would also check the edges of the plastic stencils for sharpness, little fingers can be sensitive �
