Midori MD Drawing Pen (0.1 / 0.3 / 0.5 mm)
The Midori MD Drawing Pen is a Japanese fineliner with water-based pigment ink that dries water-resistant, which is what separates it from an ordinary fineliner. Once a line has set it holds its place under a watercolor wash or a layer of marker, so the underlying drawing does not lift or smear when color goes over the top. It sits in the MD PRODUCT line built around yohaku, the blank space that leaves room to think.
The firm tip stays stable under writing pressure, holding a hair-thin line for annotation and detail while taking a heavier hand for bolder marks. Three widths cover the practical range: 0.1 mm for technical detail, 0.3 mm for everyday writing, and 0.5 mm for sketching and illustration, with a solid printed line on the barrel showing the width at a glance.
Made in Japan, the pen is built to work with MD Paper rather than alongside it. The cream polypropylene barrel, 144 mm long and 11 mm across, matches the warm cream tone of MD Notebook paper. On that uncoated, acid-free paper the ink resists bleeding and feathering and keeps its edge crisp, the calibrated pairing of ink and sheet that holds the line sharp where finer nibs often spread.
