Update: I have recently been trying to use the fine nib markers from this video, and they are terrible. They all use the same style plastic nib, and they dry out so much and are really hard to get going again. I would not recommend the fine nib markers from this video. However, the fine nib on the Magi is still working fine.

Wow. I was already so pleased you tested on both paper and canvas... then you brought in glass, and I thought, "oh that's a nice touch!"... then fabric: "oh yeah that's very useful to know"... then ceramic: "wow this is REALLY thorough"... then wood: now i'm just laughing wondering if there's anything else you'd possibly try! So incredibly thorough and helpful, thank you!

I just wanted to say, you mentioned you are not a professional, not an artist but that is COMPLETELY untrue. While you might not be employed as an artist you ARE completely an artist who is worthy of opinions and sharing them. I think its great that you do. It gives people who are just in the same boat of being a hobbyist artist a great idea of what to expect themselves. I'd rather see someone using a product who is like me versus a "professional". Its a much more realistic view of what we can all achieve and expect based on our shared level of experience.

I bought my daughter some Tooli-Art pens for christmas and she said they are just as good as Posca and she loves Posca pens 🙂

This is best comparison video I have ever seen , so detailed and I don’t need to see any other video. All questions answered ❤

Fantastic and very informative video. Also, you say you are not an artist, your artwork is great and you look like an artist to me. My absolute favourite acrylic (brush) marker is the Karin pigment deco brush markers. They aren’t cheep but they are so lovely to use, I love them and bought every single colour! I definitely recommend them.

Absolutely love your candidness!! ❤🔥

That was fun...you are a great reviewer! Thanks for the video!

Brilliant and concise review with my kind of humour. Many thanks 🙏

First time watching you and I must say I love seeing in your background that you support so many other small artist channels!❤

Thank you so much for this video! I really want to avoid wasting money on new pens I won’t end up using so have been doing some research! This was such an enjoyable video and you concisely gave me all the info I’ve been looking for!!! Your swatches and artworks are fabulous too!

Wow this was a pretty comprehensive review!! Thanks for the Gigantic Effort! I have always been keen to try paint markers on a canvas, as I have only really used them on Fabric, Bristol and Art Board. You've inspired me to try! Quick tip, I usually just twist the top to break open individually wrapped markers, it much faster than trying to peel them.

For the pens that are individually wrapped, you can just hold the barrel in one hand, the cap in your other hand, and twist. The wrapped pops right off.

Thank you for all your hard work!

This is such an AMAZING, CLEAR and COMPREHENSIVE review of acrylic paint pens. Easy to understand and joyful to watch. I was riveted the whole time. And your little artworks on the canvas were delightful. Thank you so much. I know what i want to purchse now. PS... I have bought Colour of Life pens, they are AMAZING!

I really love and adore all of your little quick canvas art when testing the pens. Especially the multi colors background and black negative monstera leaf! And the cactus 🌵 ❤!

Thank you so much for this lovely video!! I'm so interested in those Magi one's!

This review was informative and thorough but your humor was hilarious😂 so helpful! Thank you😊

I know this video is from quite a while ago, but thank you so much for the information! I’ve been wanting to try paint markers for the longest time. I have two fine tip poscas that I bought to add details to some of my other medium’s art. But they’re just too pricey for me to get a whole pack just to try out. I’m definitely going to try out the tooli art when I can! They have color packs that look absolutely perfect to start off with and they’re so affordable. I’ve never heard of them before so I’m so excited to try it out.

I love posca pens too they really do a great job,thanks for the video.

Great video -- thanks for all the work you put into it!

Thank you, for making this video. I use Posca markers but I will try the Tooli=Art.

Thank you for this. I haven’t heard of the Magi ones before. Love the flysea coaster, and your sense of humour.

Excellent comprehensive .... thank you.

Thank you for sharing these with us! A quick tip that I learned from the frugal crafter is that if the bearings inside are stuck and won't mix the paint inside, is to drop them basically the height of an average table. Sometimes, it takes 2-3 times, but mine usually are just once. Obviously don't throw them around the room lol you'll end up painting your walls lol. Have a great day

Thank you for making this! I particularly love the cactus and the sea turtle!! 🌵🐢

this video is so well done!

Fantastic video!! My daughter has been wanting Pasca Pens. But I just can't justify the cost for a 12 year old who tends to leave things outside, doesn't always know where things are, and let's others use her things and often. Some of them just don't care if they get destroyed! 😕 You have definitely given me some options. Allowing me to justify the cost and still get a quality pen. Now I just need to see what brands are available in my country.

These little mushrooms are absolutely adorable! Love them so much! :)

Very nice testing

Great job reviewing and comparing!!👏👏 Tackling so many brands at once seems complicated, but you did a wonderful job!! 🤗 Poscas for the win!! 🌈

That Posca blue tortoise was soooo adorable! 💚💚💚💚

Thank you for this video. I use Posca because it works great. But, I will try Tooli Art and Magi.

I really wish you had a chance to compare Arrtx paint markers they dont need activation, they are two sided with brush and regular nip..they are sooo affordable but super good!

Ladies and gentleman.... She likes wood 😂😂❤❤. Im planning to purchase some acrylic paint pens today. Want to try out some new mediums and create some new art. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏽

Great video, I’ve watched other KZfaqrs do similar but I love that this is from an Aussie perspective! Have you ever tried Life of Colour paint pens? It’s an Australian company and it looks like most of the paint pens work out to be about $3.25/each. I haven’t had a chance to try them but they come in So many different colour packs and nib types that they look really intriguing and fun.

I’m surprised Life of Colour markers weren’t here, being Australian markers too 🤗

Great review in paint markers. I only have maybe 5 or 6 Poscas and no others as I can’t seem to figure out blending with them. Lol.

Thank you for the great review! Glad my first (and inly) paint pens are Posca! I Love them! If you want to try something different... ....leather/textile paint (ALPHAFLEX) from ALPHA 6 Corp. ...made un the US(Alphaflex paint pens and liquid in bottles). Giving ANGELUS paint some competition! A REAL Juicy rangw of colours. Very opaque even on black leather👍

Love the wood art adorable 😊

Thank you so much for this comprehensive video. It was so helpful. Have you by any chance ever tried the Ohuhu brand of paint markers? I’ve been looking at these recently after seeing them recommended. 🥰

Watching this while swatching the new anko paint markers (36 pack for about 16$. Theyre alright, one of the markers so far had a nib which was wrecked tho. Itrs fairly opaque on the black paper im using which is decent (though depends on the colour, some are juicier than others). And the marker nib size/and barrel size is a bit on the smaller side (more akin to a permanent marker or a felt) (And it does have a white at least) (says theyre alcohol based though, which huh?) (take all this with a grain of salt! i have limited experience with paint markers soo XD) Very neat video though. Always cool to see people doing videos about different art supplies/comparisons!

Thanks for the brand review 😃👍✨... Artistro is seen to be of quality and the Posca are cute but expensive 🥺 I love that there is a diversity of tips for all needs 🙌✨✨✨ You should try what the Arrtx, Ohuhu or Karin Markers are like in acrylic ^^

This was wonderful. But remember, we are all artists. Just because we don’t get paid doing something or others don’t like what we do, it’s still art.

Hullo, I enjoyed your extensive testing and thoroughness in this video is very well done! I will probably stick with the POSCA as my time is more important than money savings, Not that I am independently wealthy but I have less time left to me that I wish to try to save by buying inferior supplies. Thanks for showing what these cheaper markers do.

Interesting and helpful 😊

Great comprehensive review! I'm finding it hard to find the Magi markers - where did you buy them? Is this the same a Magicfly?

Lol your the paint pen version of Sarah Renea Clark!! Great video 😊 xx

I think you might of got a bad set from Bunnings because I bought them myself to, and after having them sit the right way around for a good hour or two. They worked really well for me. And they come in two different sizes as well.

Amazing video! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

For the normal anko paint markers there is a white in the pastel version as well as more colours

Could you plz do a review on Brustro Acrylic Paint Markers?

I feel so validated with my Poscas and Tooliarts lmao

I love Tooli they have a huge range

Beautiful! Does anybody have a link to the Magi markers? I can’t find them

hi! i just wanted to say thank you so much for the thorough comparison! really saved me a lot of research! ❤❤ oh also, if you shopped online, would you mind sending the links for Tooli-Art and Magi? thanks!

Haha, totally my hubby wouldn't be happy if I did this video. I don't have the artistro brush pens, but I do love their regular paint pens. Also their white in regular paint pens both the medium and fine tip, I have to say they tend to be more opaque than my only posca pen which is a white one lol.

Omg! Please can we send you some our Surfpaints for a review :)

Do you know where to get the Magi markers? Ive been looking everywhere for them and it seems like the brand completely disappeared from the internet.

What do you think about flysea markers? Like for using on a phone case, compared to posca?

Would you have a link for the Magi markers? I've tried Amazon Australia but can't find them. 😕

I'm thinking about getting one of these markers but I don't want to get them and they suck so I just want to make sure there good for coloring on paper

Which do you think would have worked best on glass?

1:53 mmmmmmm waffels 🧇 and eggs 🍳

I’m guessing Bunnings is what Hammer Barn is based on (from Bluey)? 😆

I feel excited before watching this video... Let's see if we can find a nice alternative to post markers for us that just want to try something similar without selling a kidney. 👀

Ohuhu Paint markers are really good.

Coooooool

Posca has brush markers and a new poster size

my poscas do splatter sometimes 😢😢

🧑🏽‍🎨 😉😆

I can highly recommend the Artistro fine nip ones. They are selling them in a big package, and they are very good.
