When's the last time you drew with a $100 pen? This is a first time for me. When Bastion asked if I'd give my opinion on their pen, I said yes. Thankfully, they don't know I've lost over 1,000 BIC pens. When I took this pen out of the box, I just wanted to hold it and stare at it. It even came with this like wax protector over the tip. It's super satisfying to remove. It's also at this moment that I became stumped for drawing ideas. Quite possibly the first time in my life. When I'm reviewing a $100 pen. So I just put it to paper and it's super smooth. I don't think this pen weighs a half a pound, but it has some weight. I'm sorry I had no good ideas to draw, but I love drawing with this.
