Overheard at my local coffee shop someone saying their doodles got way better after switching to a brush pen

I grabbed a cheap brush pen at the craft store for $4 last Tuesday and my quick sketches actually look looser and less stiff, anyone else notice a difference switching tools like that?

I read somewhere that brush pens force you to slow down and be more deliberate with each stroke, which is probably why the looseness happens. @cameronf88 sounds like he's living proof of that same thing happening.

Oh man, my buddy got one of those and now he doodles on everything. His napkin drawings at lunch went from stick figures to actually looking like something.

Oh man, that "napkin drawings went from stick figures to actually looking like something" line really hit me... I get exactly what you mean. I've seen that happen with a couple friends too, and it's wild how fast it just clicks for them. Like suddenly they're actually excited to doodle during meetings or whatever, and it's not just scribbles anymore. It's kind of cool how something small can just unlock that part of your brain you didn't even know was there.
