Creative Set 'Great Wave off Kanagawa' by Sakura — includes Pigma Micron Fineliner 03 (black) and gel pen

The Sakura Creative Set 'Great Wave off Kanagawa' includes a Pigma Micron fineliner in size 03 (black) and a gel pen. The Micron fineliner uses archival-quality pigment ink that resists fading and feathering, delivering consistent, precise lines for detailed drawing and technical work. The accompanying gel pen provides smooth, even ink flow suitable for writing, filling areas, and complementary strokes in illustrations and journals.

Advantages

The Micron fineliner provides a stable 0.35 mm line width with waterproof, fade-resistant pigment that is acid-free and suitable for archival work. The gel pen offers a smooth, comfortable writing experience and solid coverage for filling or note-taking. Together the tools support fine detail, line consistency, and mixed-media workflows where a reliable black fineliner and a smooth gel pen are required.

Suitable for

• Illustration and ink drawing requiring precise line work
• Sketching and technical drawing where consistent line width matters
• Journaling, hand lettering, and planners
• Craft projects and mixed-media pieces combining pen ink with other media

When it may not be suitable

This set contains a single fineliner and one gel pen, so it may not be suitable for projects that require a wide range of pen sizes or colors. The fineliner size 03 provides fine lines but is not intended for broad strokes or filling large areas by itself. For heavy watercolor washes or very wet media, the fineliner’s ink is archival but surface performance depends on paper compatibility.

Key specifications

• Fineliner tip size: 03 (approx. 0.35 mm line)
• Fineliner ink type: archival-quality pigment, waterproof and fade-resistant, acid-free
• Gel pen ink type: smooth gel ink for consistent flow and coverage
• Color: black
• Intended uses: drawing, sketching, journaling, craft work

How to use

Use the Pigma Micron fineliner for outlining, detailed hatching, stippling, and any work that benefits from a consistent fine line. Allow pigment ink to dry before layering other media to avoid smudging. Use the gel pen for writing, filling small areas, or adding solid strokes; its smooth flow is suited to handwriting and quick fills. Store pens capped and horizontally or tip-up to maintain ink flow and avoid drying.

What to consider before purchase

• If you need multiple line widths or colors, consider purchasing additional Micron sizes or color pens.
• Choose paper with appropriate weight and surface for ink work—heavier, smooth paper improves line quality and prevents bleed-through.
• For archival projects, verify that all surfaces and adhesives used are also acid-free to maintain longevity.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Micron fineliner with smooth, heavyweight paper (90–300 gsm depending on medium). Test the gel pen on a scrap of the same paper before applying to a final piece. When mixing with other wet media, allow the Micron ink to dry fully to preserve line integrity.
