I think partially what makes artist's favorite materials their favorite.... isn't that it's a groundbreaking material but that it's incredibly consistent. If you are animating a film.... you want consistency. You don't want everything to need to be redone because it's not identical

This definitely screams for a part 2, take a scene out of the game cyberpunk 2077, it’s definitely colorful and vibrant! I’m following up!

Ex graphic designer here. Wikipedia's explanation that poster colors are for students is only half right. The paint indeed used a lot in schools, because they are more controllable than watercolors, vibrant, and affordable. The other half, my lecturer in uni told us that poster colors, are created for designers pre-computer, where they needed to color the artworks (hence 'posters', logos, lettering, all things that are usually solid in shapes, less artistic than a painting) EFFICIENTLY: less chaotic than watercolors, dry faster, opaque in one swipe, doesn't change in value when dry like gouache, less mixing needed to get certain colors for branding consistency and faster working (thus the many color options), comes in vibrant colors less used in paintings but definitely eye catching for ads, dry matte unlike acrylics so great for reproduction, and cheaper. Even now, design students are starting their color theory with poster paints before learning about RGB. Sadly ad agencies now of course no longer use them, therefore without mangaka and manual animators using them (so few of them now that still choose to color manually), I believe poster colors quality will later go downhill to cater only to students. So contrary to wikipedia's explanation of 'cheapo medium', they were the standard for ad industry deadlines and budget, hence understandably also why anime studios rely on them as well: imagine you're trying to recreate 50 frames of the same sky, rather than mixing watercolors, share them with your team, with everyone having different stroke styles.. it's more consistent if you work with poster colors, just use what comes in the tube or mix a bit, and the opaqueness is really forgiving with different strokes.

Question- were these pretty much industry standard for this type of education and about when were you in school for graphic design? The reason I ask is bc my mom went to school for graphic design in the 80s on the east coast. She recently passed so I can't ask her and my grandmother pays no attention to anything and has the memory of a goldfish(no shes not sick just oblivious)... Either way I had never heard of these paints until today so interested to now if this would have been something she used. I have a portfolio of her work but I don't think any of her instruments are around. I get what you said about wiki but that doesn't really tell how mainstream they were like were they a staple in this field esp for students or more just one medium/brand of many that could have been used.

Something particular about Nicker is that they focus a lot on the pigment particles having the same size, hence the fact that when they dry they generate a more consistent, uniform finish, the same with gum arabic, they use a very fine gum without impurities, this It arose because the anime industry required it to have more consistent results.

@amypanddirtytoo1926

They use gum arabic in them? I only ask because I do Nihonga, Sumi-e/Chinese brush painting, Gong Bi, Chinoisserie, etc so I am very familiar with all sorts of Eastern paints and pigments and usually a glue is used in the binder made from animal skin (rabbit, although lately some vegan options have been made available!) I have noticed that all my Eastern paints dry so much faster than my Western style paints. So I'm wondering if Nicker also has some glue in with them too? I have them and love them and just assumed they did🤣 I never bothered to really get an ingredient list.

@leohuxtable439

@@amypanddirtytoo1926 Most Asian companies aren't very open with their formulas. Gum arabic is used. Some unknown random additives are responsible for the faster drying time and few other qualities. Mostly you would have to deduce the additives from warning labels and chemicals that you can't use anymore undisclosed. As an example, fairly sure they would have to disclose xylene/toluene (at least in EU), but dunno if either was ever used in waterbased paints.

There might be more info if I really dug deep, but honestly, I'm not that curious. I obviously realize it's not just rabbit skin in a stick, lol, but a whole host of ingredients, including gum arabic, that create the formula so when I add my own crushed pigments and water it makes paint!

24 frames per second. If the studio can afford it, on the ones.

I’m an animator that works with paints and the consistency of poster paint is perfect when you have to paint hundreds and hundreds of frames! Heavier consistencies like acrylic become such a chore after a while!!

As asian teen in the 2000s, I grew up using poster colors and never heard of gauche until my mid 20s. The well-known brand we've got here is Sakura, everyone who needs this type of medium uses and suggests this brand to others because it's decent quality and so affordable even for the middle-schoolers. One downside of poster colors I find is it's so heavy if you have many colors. I used to carry them to school in a big modified lunch bag with cross-body strap. lol

Kinda, but not really. Most common form that uses similar paint would be Posca paint markers (thinner version). Poster paints aren't a uniform group of paints. They're usually somewhere between gouache, modern tempera and acrylic paint. Posca, Pilot and some other random Japanese paint markers use poster paint instead of acrylic, even though they're often referred as acrylic paint markers. For paint markers using poster paints allows better flow without sacrificing too much opacity. I don't know how they do it tbh. Nicker in general uses less finely ground pigments than typical gouache brands. So it might have something to do with the binder, something extra in the formula or just more finely ground pigments when used in markers. Anyways what most poster paints do better than other mediums? Drying time, opacity, easily thinned without extending drying time too much and usually doesn't shift value while drying in unexpected ways. Some brands lift easily like Nicker and some don't at all. Similarly they behave differently when used on paper. Some require a gesso equivalent and i assume some don't bind properly when used on top of a layer of gesso. Fairly sure none of them are lightfast and the brands that bind on hard surfaces (glass, metal, etc.) all scratch off. edit: in most parts of the western world they're not really worth using, since here they're not the cheap alternative

there is definitely a difference between poster paints in western countries, and poster *colours* in Asian countries like India, Korea and Japan the former is just a synonym for kids' grade tempera paint that usually comes packaged in bottles, which kids are then given to use for fingerpainting and other little art projects, whereas poster colours are as you said - simply a variant of gouache that is used in industry settings and is formulated for this reason to dry faster

I've been an anime fan for more than 2 decades... I jumped on it as soon as they were shipping the 36 colors set to canada! It's my best black, my best teal, my best ocre yellow, my go-to white and pretty much the only Opera rose that I can scan correctly. You can cure them on a small palette or use from the pot, you can see the mat artist leaving all the pots open on the desk and have a traditionnal paint saucer to reactivate it. Diluted, they are mostly 100% transparent with still a good pigment load, and 100% opaque from the pot. It's like having the photoshop opacity slider irl! I think the only negative point they get from me is from the lightfastness, like most gouache, it's meant to make a prototype, to scan, photograph, etc. Like they do in anime. Do you really think Ghibli would use student grade paint??? I mean... really?

Since they dry so quickly, they can be layered much easier than watercolor and only blend when you want them to. They really are nice paint and perfect for animation painting.

Was looking at these paints back in art school. Never could find them. This is amazing.

Eighties nostalgia meets painting meets semi-scientific research. What’s not to love 😄

There are some colors that are not produced in the set anymore that the studio uses as well. You need to mix them to get the colors the studio still uses.

I love everytime I see your special art. You inspire me so much thanks for your videos to inform all of these people ❤💙

I love Gizmo!! You did a wonderful painting of him, I'm glad he was the debut for your new paints. Gremlins is a classic from my childhood, glad to see him gracing the internet!

That's an absolutely beautiful portrait of Gizmo and those paints really seem to fit with subjects that are either more whimsical or more fantasy (Like Gizmo) And yes, I saw Gremlins as a young child, in the Theater.

Hearing your view on these paints makes me want to buy them even more now especially how they dry fast because I always have the problem of painting before the paint dries so my colors mix and it can get pretty messing so hearing that nickers dry faster really could be a game changer for me when painting ❤❤❤

Gremlins was a huge part of my childhood, when it came out Gizmo was the most wanted toy ever.

I've always been curious about poster paints, they look a lot closer to regular gouache than I would've thought, so I think I'll stay poor and stick with my jellies haha 😂

That turned out absolutely amazing! I swear I'd watch a whole series just on these paints alone. I really hope you do a sci-fi painting with these, I'd love to see how these paints turn out. Also, I do in fact know who/what Gizmo is, Gremlins is amazing!

I have been creating Anime style landscapes , scenery or just anything in Anime style and I absolutely love the process 😍, for sure poster colors and Gouache are the way to go, to create such stunning Anime effects 🎨

The paint is probably mixed with some amount of alcohol in its thinner instead of water or combined with water. Alcohol will dry faster and it also prevents mold growth.

I’m envious of anyone who doesn’t know Gremlins - they have the pure joy of watching it for the first time! Lovely painting of Gizmo!😍

I love watching your videos as I clean house! They’re very soothing and uplifting! Keep it up! You are SO TALENTED

I remember being frustrated with how quickly poster color dries. My art teacher moved me from doing primarily water colors into using poster color and it was like learning to paint all over again because I couldn’t use the same techniques at all. Also because PC dried so quickly, it made it very easy to layer a new color on top and like you said, it dries very evenly, which is nice. I also think PC looks more chalky and it adds to the vibrant color. It looks very good for cell painting styles or anything where you have high contrast/shadows.. Can’t wait to see what you paint next with it.

The vibrancy of those paints makes my eyes very happy

I watched a panel by Yoichi Nishikawa (Ghibli background painter) in LA and he said that the paint was drying much faster during the panel because the air was so dry. He said if Studio Ghibli was in LA, they never would have been able to paint all the backgrounds in poster color. Super cool!

This is such a unique video! Thank you for filming this and allowing us to join you and see these beautiful paints=) Aww, Gizmo, brings back memories=)

Not quite a good comparison, better would have been a quality gouache like W&N or Lefranc Bourgeois, not a Gelli gouache which is more like school paint, except that it has a load of glycerine. Western style gouache used to come in two formulas, designers and artistes, both came in tubes but could be missed and diluted and the designers came in printers ink colours before we had digital, whereas artists gouache focused more on pigments. I could not find Nicker anywhere back then though I knew about them. My guess is a western style gouache would be very similar in drying time to these bottled varieties.if the Nicker or any diluted and bottled gouache thicken up you can loosen them with a little distilled water, you can even leave them open, watch the great Ghibli man himself using them that way…. And used carefully they will go a very long way. I still have my 3 dozen or more colours from 1985-6 only two of them are no longer rewettable, the tubes long since dried out and decayed but the paints are with those exceptions, a rose magenta and a pthalocyanine blue green, in great condition. Those two colours are naturally very transparent and would have needed opacifiers and binders to make them consistent with the rest. Pick opaque colours where possible. But then again you have the Nicker ones, they will be lovely to use, you have the best.

Intriguing, thank you for sharing this. I didn't really realise that there is an actual CMYK gouache palette that may help with true color reproduction. The reproducing process confuses me, like what pigment could you use, which is a good scanner, how to photo editing/clean-up in CMYK color profile, then a print test, and more edits before the final print!! 😂 Also modern printers kinda have expanded to include more don't they? I'm seriously out of the loop. 😅

I got this set off amazon and they are really interesting to work with. Poster color sits on top of the paper, even higher than gauche because of pigment particle size. When you combine this with pure watercolor, which has pigment that is so finely ground that it sinks into the paper, you can get some really weird effects. The poster color will look flat like a cartoon while the watercolor can feel more "deep" and almost three dimensional. They blend together in weird ways and you end up some surreal effects. I think this set is worth buying for sure, especially since it is rather affordable.

Heres my explanation for a few things about this paint, as someone who is currently studying animation. First of all, the difference between poster colour and gouache is where they sit on a scale of opacity. The four main paints on this scale are: watercolour, gansai (a japanese paint similar to watercolour or gouache), gouache, and poster colour. Watercolour is the most transparent on this scale, so the process for watercolour painting involves a lot of layering. Poster colour is the most opaque, which results in some properties that make it considered "cheap", like its lightfastness and quick drying. But these properties are actually what make it perfect for the use in animation. The requirements for painting for animation are quite different for illustration. Animation prioritises speed (hence why the quick drying is so important), while the longevity is not very important (because once the production is finished, the paintings are not useful), so the lightfastness isn't an issue like it would be for fine art and illustration. Another thing that makes poster colour great for animation is the ability to buy these tubs of paint in bulk. When you're painting with gouache, it often comes in small tubes which are quite expensive by the ml. But if you look at videos of anime background painters' studios, you'll see very large tubs of nicker poster colours (probably at least double the size of the 14ml tubs in this video), because these are cheaper by the ml if you're buying in Japan. They quite expensive outside of Japan tho lol One last thing is that the process used to paint in this video isn't the recommended process for painting with poster colours. If you watch some videos on youtube (just search nicker poster colour and youll find them), the painters start by wetting the paper strongly on both sides, because this helps achieve really smooth blending. Blending is actually one of the most important skills when painting with poster colours, beginners or juniors at the studio will often spend hours practising blending paint to create a gradient for a sky. Poster colours can achieve really smooth gradients that look almost digital, though it does require a lot of practise.

Gizmo turned out beautifully! Also havent been licky enought o paint with guache before but poster colors are definitely a great medium to work with due to how fast it dries. You can get work done much much faster than you would with water colors due to the wait times

What a treat, thank you for sharing this!

Oh, I’ve seen these, been curious about art supplies so long. I also love Gizmo, he’s the best, so cute. The paint looks really fun, that’s a good painting.

your painting just made me want a gizmo ten times more than ever. It's also making me want to rewatch gremlins.

Love it, thanks for sharing, would love to see you evolution with these ones. Also with acrylics, would be amazing same way.

Love the Gremlins. Cool painting!

Nice! They are also in my Mediums wish list!

Wow what a way to end the week 😊

Wow, you are a very good painter, that's a nice gizmo. I'm impressed with the paints and the painter, great video. I'm checking out some of your other videos right now😊

Woww, first time here! I love your video. I used to draw and paint a lot when I was a kid and stopped during high school but your video made me remember why I loved colors and painting so much. Great content! Keep it up!

Those poster paints are unreal! Again thank you for always delivering such high quality and interesting video :)

Awesome painting, thanks for sharing!

I love your Gizmo he looks amazing, the colours just pop. 👍

thank you for sharing your experience with nicker poster paints! 😊❤❤ im a background artist who uses traditional medium for coloring and yes you are right, paint, takes a while to dry and the amount of effort and time you have to put into it is a bit overwhelming especially when you’re rushing for the deadline… it’s crazy😅

Gremlins is a CLASSIC christmas movie. Gizmo is amazing.

thats singlehandedly the best commercial for paints ive ever seen

Oh my goodness.... the end result is .... I'm speechless

Thank you for the video; it was very interesting. Regardless of the type of paint you use, you always manage to create something beautiful 🤩💗

Gremlins is one of my fave childhood movies. I loved the painting
