Is it possible to make thin and neat lines with the Pentel Pocket Brush pen, or is it just not meant for it?

yes it is possible. just barely touch the paper straight from above

My technique is to hold the pen perpendicular to the page and rest my hand on the last joint of my pinky finger to keep the pen a set distance from the page, then lower the pen until the bristles barely touch the page. Then it's just a matter of moving your entire hand along the x and y axis and anticipating how the bristles will bend compared to something like a technical pen. It's doable, but there are better tools for the job if you're looking lay down fine lines of ink.

Yes the thing is with that even with the slightest amount of pressure this goes from not touching the paper at all to the broadest fucking stroke possible
guess I have no choice but to have surgeon like precision desu
