Do i need special pens?

Question

I'm drawing on a canvas and i need a black pen do i need a special pen that's made to us on canvas? are there even such things as canvas pens?

Answer 1

the works is the best to go, its cheap and there's basically everything you need, i've never seen a pen specially for canvas but i've used normal pens on them before

Answer 2

Sharpie actually makes paint pens/markers with different sized tips. which are excellent for canvas.

There's extra-fine, fine, medium, and bold tips and they are around $3 to $5 dollars depending on the size.

You can purchase these at your local art supply store.

Answer 3

If you are painting in oils,a ballpoint pen would do as it would get covered by the paint.(Or pencil).  

Answer 4

I think there is a such thing of a canvas pen but I draw on canvas too and I use a normal pen and it works good. also canvas pens are usually about up to $50 even more unless you want a cheap one that doesn't work

I hope my answer helped.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Any waterproof pen which is lightfast or permanent will do,Sharpies can be bought at 4 for £1 at The Works.The Pentel markers are also very good.
