Brush inking offers dynamic and expressive linework, ideal for action scenes and character definition, however, it requires practice for consistent line weight. Pen inking provides cleaner, more precise lines, excellent for details and consistent line weights. Nibs (dip pens) offer versatility in line variation and texture but require a steady hand and consistent ink flow. Choose based on the desired style; brushes for dynamism, pens for precision, and nibs for stylistic flourishes.
