Platinum Preppy

The Platinum Preppy is a low-cost Japanese fountain pen that has become a sketchbook staple. Artists use it for ink drawing, urban sketching and line work under watercolor because it gives a fine, steady line, costs about as much as a fineliner, and doesn't dry out between sessions thanks to its sealed cap.
