I got some gel pens for cheap and began suspecting something's amiss. Sho'nuff, they were at least a year old (you use them long enough, you can tell by the hints and clues). Problem with gel is it thickens from the tip down, or up, depending on how you see it.
So, after some serious seasoning that involved a jet flame lighter and a small hammer, I doodled this to make sure I got all the viscous crap out and gone down to the more fluid ink.
Actual size, 1x1". Don't believe me? Print it out and measure up.
PROTIP: 5 - 9% of every gel pen's ink is wasted on seasoning and unclogging. But the fineness is unparalleled.

Cool detail on that little thing. I used to hide tiny periodic tables and equations in my calculator back in high school. TINY!!
Cheap gel? No thanks. Mont Blanc makes a gel rollerball that feels heavenly to write with. $12 a pair in the states and there's a little hack to fit them in a Pilot G-2 pen.

available commercially, anyway. Once upon a time rice writing was a big fad and besides calligraphy brushes plucked to only 5 bristles, there were very fine signing pens that'd work for it.
Of course, at that point I'd need a magnifier to draw and it defeats the goal of daily arting.
