For many of us just beginning to learn the art of calligraphy, drawing, illustration, and hand lettering, spending a lot of money on very high-quality pens and inks may not be feasible at first. However, you've undoubtedly already experienced how using subpar tools can be frustrating if you're here. It's essential to use the right tools so that they and your skills can work together to create beautiful, flourishing calligraphy or lettering.
Luckily for all of you, Cheap Joe's is here to put our expertise behind our curated collection of calligraphy pens, drawing pens, marking pens, technical pens, lettering pens, and even pen cleaners. Arranged for your convenience on this page, you can easily find our collection of today's top-performing, highest-quality pens for artists of all levels and expertise.
Showcasing the most trusted brands today, you'll find iconic names such as:
• Copic
• Sakura
• Molotow
• Pentel
• Platinum
• Tombow
• Uni-Ball
• Kuretake
And many, many more. You'll also find our exclusive Cheap Joe's Sketchmaker Pen Start Set comprised of the pen sets most loved by artists worldwide with various line weights for drawing, sketching, and hand lettering.
Like any form of art, calligraphy and hand lettering take practice, often hours at a time, for weeks, months, and years. There's no 'undo' button with calligraphy. Given the hours and possibly decades you have or will commit to the craft, you'll undoubtedly spend more money on replacing less-than-excellent pens should you go through a questionable manufacturer. Your calligraphy pen choice could make the difference between a fantastic piece of hand lettering or sloppy work.

We offer a variety of high-quality options that are all great choices for calligraphy. Shop brands like Copic, Chameleon Fineliner, J. Herbin, Kuretake, and Pilot, just to name a few.
Q: What are calligraphy pens called?
A: Calligraphy pens are also known as dip pens, nib pens or pen nibs. These pens can be made from a variety of materials including glass and wood.
Q: What is the best calligraphy set for beginners?
A: There are a variety of calligraphy pen sets on the market, though we especially like the Zebra Midliner Double Ended Brush Pen Set. They are an extremely high-quality option that is available in a range of colors and for a great price.
Q: Do you need a calligraphy pen to do calligraphy?
A: Technically, yes, you do need a calligraphy pen and dip ink if you want to practice calligraphy. However, if you want to just try it with a regular pen to practice your craft, you can do that as well. It just won’t be considered calligraphy, and you will likely not have the same results as when you use the proper tools.
