Hi! The posca pc 1m is the smallest fine tip which can create small splatters. The biggest posca 15-k (I think) can create good splatters because so much ink can come out at once if you press the tip hard enough. Paint pens work great and the paint is really opaque. I’m sure you will enjoy

@WelzieArt

The smaller tips “spit” or “spill” more than the other larger pens because the tips are smaller and have a harder time blocking ink from spilling out. If you’re getting a lot of spills on smooth surfaces it may be due to the amount of pressure you are putting on the tips. Ease off the pressure a little and see if that helps. Also make sure to have your pen shook up. Sometimes if the ink isn’t mixed the watery part will drain out easier. Long story short just try and ease off the amount of pressure your putting on the tip. Thanks for the question! Aloha

Finished drawing spider-man on side of cabinet. I've read that I should now put a clear resin over it. But I could use some suggestions about this. I have many questions: What is a clear resin? Polyurethane? Which clear resin have you or others found to be the best? Should I brush it on, roller, spray, pour? If it’s a pour I’d have to lay cabinet on other side. Pour seems risky for first time - nervous about getting it even. Also, I have trouble with getting spay on paint to be even, and then there is the overspray; but if you think that’s best I'll try. How many coats? This has been a lot of effort and I’m nervous about screwing it up with this final step! Thanks.

@WelzieArt

Жыл бұрын

Aloha! If your cabinet is inside and won’t get much abuse from scratching then I wouldn’t clear coat it at all. If you really want to clear coat it then I would suggest (if you drew in acrylic) an acrylic clear medium to paint over it. That way you don’t have to deal with resin or spray. You can find clear acrylic at hardware store or art supply store or online. You can apply just 1 thin layer of clear acrylic and it will be good to go. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼

Aloha! Preparing the surface you want to completely remove any wax, salt or residue then I recommend doing a light sand with 320 or higher grit sandpaper on the area you’re going to do the posca pens. A couple clear spray acrylic coats over the artwork will keep it safe. Good luck! 👍🏼

@WelzieArt

If the posca paint beaded up it is probably because the surface wasn’t prepped properly. 220 grt should be fine but all the “shiny” finish needs to be sanded off. Wax residue will also make the pens not work but it’s probably just not sanded enough. I’ve messed up plenty of boards so don’t get too discouraged. Hope this helps.

Sometimes a rough paper isn’t the best surface for the tips but the flow and puddles could be more from the pen not shaken up properly.

Steady pressure on the tip after proper shaking and loading ink in the tip should help your problem. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. Aloha

Been sorely tempted to buy some Posca paint markers but I'm really hesitant because I'm thinking they might run out of their juice after just a few illustrations. Still, the very idea of creating drawings with opaque markers is sweet (and I imagine there's so much more control than with acrylic paint / brushes) ... and I've become bored with alcohol and water based markers anyway. I'm gonna assume that these Poscas do best on smooth Bristol or similar paper. Thanks for sharing a straightforward and professional video.

I think you should get some. You will love them. If you’re doing smaller drawings you’ll find that the posca pens last quite a long time if you keep the caps on and store horizontal. The posca pc 1 m is a great fine tip black pen for your black lines. These smaller ones do run out after a couple hundred feet of line drawing but it’s still such a great pen. Posca does do well on smooth paper. Sometimes the paper can get pulled up if you’re pressuring to hard on softer paper but the boogers can come off easy enough once it’s dry.

I am planning on using posca pens to paint the attached spider-man drawing on the side of a cabinet that stores comics. I have attached my hand drawing and the original from a1966 Amazing Spider-man comic. The cabinet is made of white birch plywood. I intend to trace my image via graphite paper onto the cabinet, color all the outlines,muscles lines, etc with black posca, lay down the large color areas, then put the black cobweb lines over the red. This is my first time and I have been reading about posca paints and watching your you-tube videos. I am ready to purchase the poscas but am not sure what sizes I need. I am guessing I need the PC -3M or even PC - 5M for the broad blue,purple,black and red areas;but perhaps even the PC-7M or PC-8K would be good for this.Can you advise? I think the PC-3M,5M size would work well for the general outline and black lines and areas bringing out the muscles.But what of the cobweb lines? Do I need PC-1M?

The ink in the big posca pen does take a while to work it’s way through the tip. Shaking the pen only really makes the ink mix correctly it doesn’t load the ink into the pen tip. Keep pressing the pen down with the tip to your scratch paper and keep applying pressing until the ink loads the tip. It does take a bit.

That happens!! Don’t worry. There is just a lot of ink in your tip and it will bleed out too much when this occurs. Without pressing down draw some lines for a bit on scrap paper to balance the amount of ink in the tip. With the finer tips it doesn’t take much pressure to get the ink to flow. Don’t worry your pen isn’t ruined. Just do above steps before working on your art piece. Toilet paper absorbs ink really well if you get spills on your piece. Good luck!

What if i have a pc-1mr, how do i unclog it? I can't seem to find anything on how to remove them. Only the paint type pen. But as i know you can change the tip of a pc-1mr, so i must also be able to remove it. I cannot pull it out?

They have a different tip than the 5m. It’s got a little knob on back where it sticks in

You might want to try plastic razor blades. They do cost a little bit more, but with those you'll probably still be able to erase just as effectively without scratching the surface you're working on. They should also be much less noisy. If either of these two things are wrong, please do a video for us viewers to see why

@WelzieArt

Are you going over the color while it’s still wet? Also if you’re adding a color over a color work really lightly with your pen and make sure plenty of ink is flowing out. Using a blow dryer can help minimize dry time and make sure ink is really dry before second layer. Hope that helps let me know 🤙🏼

It might be its super hot? I’m in Hawaii and I do notice on super hot days my pens can be a bit more runny. Next time you get a pen that’s “faulty” try putting it in the fridge for a min on two and try again. They also could have been stored vertical for a long time and all the pigment is crusted on the bottom. Might be opening up one and seeing what’s going on inside

Hay..i need urgent help! I have used poscas for many years now. I also use them on shoes but on these pairs of shoes i am working on...the black 0.7mm is flaking off! I dont understand why!! I have gone over the art a few times now and it still flakes! It is just the black that is flaking. The coloured markers r fine. They r not scratching off and they r permanently on the shoes but the black came from the same packet and its flaking off! Even if i blow on it..its flaking off!!!!!!!!! Why is it flaking?? Its not done this before! please help! How can i stop this?? Its ruining the shoes and they r not mine 😔😔😔

@WelzieArt

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! It’s possible that the spot on the shoe you are using the black on has a finish that is not allowing the acrylic to bond. If this is the case you can lightly sand the shoe or even use a coating over the shoe that will bond to the shoe but still allow you use the posca over it. Also, I’m sure you did this, but one of the biggest reasons for any problem with the ink is the paint in the pen not being mixed enough. Always shake those things a bunch. Hope this helps. Any more questions just ask. Aloha

You can use all kinds of paper but I have found thicker seems to work better. It won’t bleed out as much. Softer paper tends to come apart with the posca pen tip but still can be used. Finding the balance of thickness, smoothness and works well with the tips might take some trial and error. Often I find a paper that works then it ends up not being available. Good luck!

My paint is dry before I move onto my next layer but my posca pen is so watery that it reactivates the dried paint.

@WelzieArt

That can happen for a couple of reasons. One. Your pen might be “watery” because it’s not shaken up enough. Seriously shake that thing. 1 min at least. Another reason it can be “reactivating” the paint is that the top of the said paint is dry but underneath is still wet. Try a blow dryer to really dry the ink out before going over again. Especially if it’s cold wet weather. Let me know how it goes. Hope this helps. Aloha 🤙🏼
