@FreeAsian Glad that this is of some help to so many of you! ^^ So far no one has shared any creations by this stylus...(including me)...hahaha...please someone make my day!

@Chasaurus There were also some viewers from Kobausks' channel asking him to make it into a mass manufactured product. But I guess he just wants to keep it free and share it with the world. The foil is of too low quality to make it into selling product, though I must say the stylus works better than any found on the market.

@yourpsychedelic glad that this translated version is of much help to so many people. Do share if you made some awesome drawings with it~

@laiciplayspiano Glad to be of some help! Anyway, like I mentioned, I did make the mistake of putting the pen tip behind the "U"...what happened was the foil was "dragged" around while I used it and the center point of the tip wasn't that center. I guessed Kobausks wanted to achieve an exact center point where it felt natural (as if using a pen). For me...it would be the dragging that's not working...does it work for u?

Thank you so much! In finally can draw when I go overseas because I can't bring my pens or pencils with me overseas.

I feel like you should create a Kickstarter project to mass-produce a high quality version of this stylus.

Thanks a lot man, that's just what I was looking for, as the other tutorials usually end up making a really fat tip pen that is not suitable for "stylish" drawing at all! (As a matter of fact they are not a stylus but more like a marker jeje).

Hi, the site to the PDF is gone. Can you re-upload somewhere else like megaupload or anything?

[laiciplayspiano]

THANK YOUUUUU!! thank you so much! yeah, u did help alot making it clear from the original tutorial. but one question, why can't we put the pen tip behind the "U' shape foil? wouldn't that way get the pressure tip better?
