I find fountain pens so much nicer to write with than ballpoints. If I need to write anything longer than a sentence, I would always choose the fountain pen - it's much gentler on your hand, so you don't tire as quickly, and you have a finer degree of control, so your handwriting becomes more legible.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoNow I'm wanting to draw with one - I very much understand the hand fatigue as I get it as well... Along with tennis elbow. Different pens and paintbrushes have different fatigue rates. For handwriting, how long did it take you to adjust to it? Is the grip much different?
- gumby 10y agoit's not just that the grip is different but you draw (pull) the pen rather than push (pushing, especially with the stiff nibs, causes a skip). You grip a biro much more firmly so that it doesn't move around as you push it. I believe this is why the fountain pen doesn't fatigue you as much.
