I love how these pens look but you're right that they do pill the paper a bit. Doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would though 🤔 it might be coz the paper bits are quite small so kinda just lay flat to the piece at the end 👌

Thank you!! ❤

Thank you!! And yeah you're probably right, gesso would have made it a lot easier I think 😁 though the colours came out quite well considering I didn't 😂 would gesso have also prevented the feathering? ❤❤

@@staticwool you are so welcome and I agree, it came out great! The colors really pop and your art is so much fun!! I am into it! I do think that gesso would help prevent feathering... it will be like painting in a brand new surface! Sketchbooks and paper work with these too ..I can truly appreciate how you can use these on most stable papers, and you don't need to prep that surface first if you're just having fun and learning! I find regular white gesso to be pretty smooth when it dries, so you could most likely try it out with minimal preparation... Clear texture gesso, however, might cause the occasion skippage to take place (this is way more true for plastic nibs like posca, less true for brush tip!)... The remedy for this is basically just a high grit sand paper. Do a could of coats and lightly sand between.... This is what I do on wood, and I have taken sandpaper to the gessoed rock here and there lol... Oh and I also have taken to using these double or triple gessoed canvas pads (brands like yes!, fredrix, paramount and the more affordable Strathmore 300 series), instead of canvas paper pads or reg paper. The paper ones are good for checking colors, but that's about all you can do on a piece of paper that's pressed to mimic fabric lol. I like paramount the best! These pens will truly give you endless fun! I am really excited to watch what you do with them and all the exploring in between! Fantastic... And I didn't stress enough how much I truly enjoy and love your art! 🩵🩵🩵

Hi, thinking about buying these pens and it seems you have experience, how long would you say they last, I'm worried that I'm going to buy them and they will dry out super quick, thanks for your time!!

@@ericabutterworth2564hi there! I didn't read any of the other replies yet, so sorry if there's redundant info!! It's really hard to say how long they will last...I use mine a few times a month to paint rocks or on small canvases...I got my sets maybe 2 years ago (maybe longer, but I have timeblindness lol), when they had 2 sets of 30...I still have them and not one single color has run out or dried out (i do some generic brand brush markers that I use as supplemental colors, too!)...! I'm happy to report that if you make sure you hear the lids snap on when closing, you will keep them safe from this! I would keep them stored in a cooler, dry area -if this is possible! To contrast... My neice received one of the sets for Christmas... She needs a replacement already! For reference, she is 13 and uses them as her go to paint marker, which is all the time! She likes them better than the tooliart brush tips. I'm going to be getting both of the larger sets when mine run out lol... But who knows when this will be! I think you will thoroughly enjoy all the things you can do with this product....I love to do glazing when working on canvas, and I use pentel aquash brushes to accomplish this, by thinning the acrylic ink out with a little h2o .. It is such a fun and different technique.. Plus, it works when painting on primed rocks also! If you are planning on rock painting, don't skip the clear gesso prep or you will fray the brushes fast. My final tip to anyone who uses any kind of brush tip acrylic ink marker, is to give it a gentle shake before each use. They do not require this to be used, but imo, they do if you want the paint to be more consistent from the outflow. Keep the lid on for this step and you'll be in business!! I hope you get tons of Enjoyment!!

@@GeekieGock Wow, thank you so much for the in depth responses this has been really helpful and I think I will buy them! Thank you so much again and I hope you have a great day!!

Yay! I hope you have fun with them!!

Thank youuu ❤❤❤

Thank you, ily ❤

Thank you so much 😁❤

Thank you 😁❤

Nooooooooo I feel such a foooll!!!!! 😱😱😱

@@staticwool Haha don’t, even Disney have gotten that wrong in the past

And they have long tails 😆

YESSSS I enjoy that game so muuucchh and that honestly sounds so good, I can never bring myself to be anything but nice but that honestly sounds so tempting!!!!

Nooo I'm so sorry you're ill 😟 I hope you feel better soon ❤

I'm not used to painting on wood or anything different but I think gesso would have really helped 😅 And thank you, I'm glad you liked them 😁❤

Yooo thank you ❤❤

😂 Thank you, I'd maybe make some tweaks to them first but you might be on to something ✌❤🐰🐰

If I could only have 1 of them then I think the other set in the other vid (60B) would be my go to 😊

I could certainly look into making one at some point. I have a busy schedule at the moment but if I remember once it's cleared a bit then I might 😁 as for now though I'd recommend just getting one box or the other. Last I checked the price for these pens aren't bad (around £1 per pen I think?) but each box has a really deccent range and what one box doesn't have it makes up for with other colours 👌 and like you said there are quite a few doubles so it would probablky be more cost effective to buy one of these bigger sets and then look into getting one of the smaller sets to go with it 😁 that's just my opinion though😊

@@staticwool thank you Sm I love your art btw 🤍🤍🤍

They layer super well. The faces I show at the end are on printer paper and it holds up super well. It distorts the paper a little (coz y'know, printer paper) and it did bleed through the back a bit, I'm annoyed I forgot I wanted to show that in the vid 😮‍💨 But yeah, didn't bleed through my sketchbook paper which is either 140 g/m or 150 g/m 😁 I hope you have fun with yours ❤

thank you for letting me know my sketchbook is one of those cute coloured talens sketchbooks which isssss around 150??? not sure!!! Might do some static wool fanart with them, pay tribute since you got me on the arrtx craze! ill tag you in it if i end up doing it! @@staticwool

@@BreadedNuggetssYay I'd love to see what you make ❤ ❤

I've tried them on a couple types of paper, they bleed through a little on printer paper but so far in my sketchbook (either 140 or 150 g/m) and on cardstock there has been no bleedthrough 😊😊

Thank you ! I've got a Leuchtturm as well, so these should be perfect. Thanks !!

I'm glad I'm not the only one then 😁 and that's such a good point, they might have needed sanding though they did end up looking okay considering I didn't, but sanding probably would've made it a lot easier 😂❤

@@staticwool hey it’s the life of the artist to make our life’s harder than they need to be out of stubbornness 😂

@@mokilatteSo true 😂

😲 lidl?!?! they're honestly the best scissors i've ever owned, had them for so many years now 😂😂

It ranges from 14.99USD to 52.99USD depends on the pack you get and how many are in the pack ! :)

Don't be a pick me; just put time and effort in. It's simple

Don't give up you'll get there

And you, as an artist, should know that every artist sometimes makes mistakes…

Okay, Alina. I’m sure you know everything too, so much so, that when you figure out WHO ASKED… let us know ❤
