I do use ballpoints however most of the time I use Artline 200 black pens!

Takeda Shingen · 01-18-12, 05:13 PM

The ol' blue Bic Cristal ballpoint. Exactly what I have been using since high school. Serves me well enough.

Platapus · 01-18-12, 05:24 PM

Ball points only because I lose them, lend them, or have them stolen from me on a daily basis.

I am actually convinced that at my company there are only 6 pens and they just keep moving from desk to desk.

I prefer a nice gel ink ballpoint. I mostly use the Pilot G2 or its generic equivalent from Staples (Sarasas):

If you like ballpoints but have never tried a Gel Ink pen: Get one. its like moving up from a Ford to a Cadillac.

Not a fan of pens! My handwriting is pretty bad and being able to erase it is a nice perk. Pencils are also more versatile when it comes to drawing/sketching.
