Got a couple of packs of pens at Wal*mart this past weekend (they were putting out the back to school supplies).  I'd watched one of Parker's reviews of the Uni-ball Signo gel pens,  he said the ink was waterproof and he used them a lot for sketching.  So I used one to draw these birds, the pen didn't perform that well on this watercolor paper,  it has a bit of texture to it,  and the pen would skip and refuse to write.  It got very annoying,  then the ink ran when I applied water,  didn't run enough to be dramatic, just enough to make the colors dull and muddy looking.  I don't think these will be a favorite pen for me.
