2. What Pens should I use with Wild Gears?
Stabilo Fineliners are a general favorite. Most art pens will work well with Wild Gears. I strongly encourage experimentation with different kinds of pens. Ballpoint vs. Felt tip vs. other types again. Each will give different line quality and appearance and have different down sides. For example ball point pens don't tend to bleed ink into the paper when held still as much felt tip pens will but they can sometimes struggle to provide enough ink if moving the pen quickly.
Gel pens and felts that put down a layer of paint or wet ink are extra hard to use as they leave a surface layer of ink that is wet and globby and is easily smeared by the movement of the gears. Maybe don't start with these hard pens.
