Brush Dual-Tip Marker PENTEL SESW30C-T117 — steel blue, brush and fine tip

Dual-tip brush marker PENTEL SESW30C-T117 in steel blue combines a flexible brush tip and a fine tip in one compact pen. The brush tip adapts to varying pressure and angle for calligraphy, lettering and expressive strokes, while the fine tip provides consistent lines for details, outlines and hatching. Water-based ink delivers smooth coverage on paper and sketchbook surfaces and is suitable for journaling, illustration and mixed-media work when used with compatible materials.

Advantages

The two-tip design saves time and space by offering both a brush and a fine nib in a single tool, eliminating the need to switch pens for most hand-lettering and illustration tasks. The flexible brush tip supports a range of stroke widths from thin hairlines to broader fills, while the fine tip ensures precise control for small elements and outlines. Water-based ink reduces odor and dries quickly on most paper types, and the marker’s compact, portable body is convenient for studio or on-the-go use.

Suitable for

• Hand lettering and modern calligraphy

• Outlining, detailing and hatching
• Mixed-media projects on paper

How to use

Use the brush tip with variable pressure and pen angle to create thick-to-thin strokes for lettering and expressive marks. Use light pressure and a consistent angle for thin hairlines. Switch to the fine tip for outlines, small details and precision work. Store horizontally when not in use to help maintain even ink flow between tips. Test the marker on scrap paper before working on a final piece to check color and bleed on the chosen paper.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on medium-weight to heavyweight paper or a sketchbook designed for ink to minimize bleed-through. Avoid prolonged contact with water unless layering with water-soluble techniques is intended; the water-based ink is not guaranteed lightfast. Combine the steel blue marker with complementary colors from the same marker family for consistent blending and color matching.
