![: If you noticed the fine ink lines on the watercolour cherries 🍒 card I shared on Wednesday, and wondered what pen I used, this is it… The Uniball Signo DX in 0.38mm black. I reach for this pen constantly—sketchbooks, cards, doodling, journaling—any time I want a clean confident line that doesn’t bleed into watercolour or smear when you breathe on it wrong. It’s smooth, consistent, under $5, and when it’s out of ink, it just stops—no trying to convince it to squeeze out another few strokes. I buy these by the box so I can quickly grab a new one and carry on without missing a mark. What’s your go-to pen for line work? 🖊️Is it the same pen you love for writing? ✍🏼[ If you’d like to receive a collection of Sparks like this one ✨ in your inbox every Sunday, the link to subscribe is in my bio ]](https://scontent-yyz1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/674925512_1555357536597583_3500172632623670821_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=104&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=1R1sqeQK78sQ7kNvwErP1KR&_nc_oc=AdqGe-DGYYEH7ivyn76EE-yPvFqKyjGStBjLr3JNtMJEGRrZqxiLTYD3-vMkochjUVU&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-yyz1-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=A1vJxoCH_MTStljsO7VMMA&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQEj9trTvVWPyU3508QXNMJtzqJ26YComCknPnSO1PSK5mayvGT9hOcPAT0MBCkg1ylVAuCLwxN0&oh=00_Af6S6QMVjaSKQHfm_SbJp6GJkTloXCInbuWoR895vJvXrg&oe=6A097BA4)
