I love Poscas so much, glad to see you're a fan of them too! If you're struggling to get certain colours opaque enough wait for it to dry and apply another layer of marker over the top. You can also squeeze paint out of the marker and use a paintbrush if you need thinner lines. Also they make poscas with fine liner nibs for super thin lines, they're a little hard to track down in art shops though.

A few days ago i ordered posca pens and i thought the PC-3M is the normal one but no, So i was preparing to cancel my order but it cant anymore but otherways when the markers arrived you can cancel it and the rider will be disappointed, but i didn't cancel it anyways if it is thin its good to draw the sides and if u need thicker you can just color thicker😊and i know it's super expensive

I got a 24-color set of Posca pens for my birthday in February, and I love them! I mostly use them to add some fun pops of color to my otherwise grayscale sketchbook.

Oh those red powerlines really do bring out an extra dimension of depth to the artwork 😍

Thank you Teoh. I couldn’t help smiling when you were pleased with the test results

Very interesting, you captured the overlay style very nicely.

Hello Teoh ✨️ 👋 Good to see you using POSCA 👍. I want to use it too. But wait, how are people using it 😊. For open the new paint. You only need to twist the top, and the plastic should come off 😊. No need knife to cut it. Thank you for your awesome video 👍 ✨️

You keep doing reviews on products days after I start showing an interest in them. It’s hilarious! I’m starting to loose count on the number of times it’s happened on your channel lol. Love your style.

Thank you Teoh for another beautiful art product. I love the results.

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise. I received one of these as a gift and couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to use it! Cheers.

Frist time seeing you use markers and I enjoyed seeing you painting with them so thanks for sharing your videos with us and it looks like fun drawing with the markers so looking forward to seeing more videos.

Very nice sketch Teoh ! I can't wait to see what else you will do with these markers.

love your painting!! thanks for this great review ☺️

Wow, those markers really compliment your style! Love your work!

I just recently tested out a white Posca marker and I was super impressed by the performance! Really fun to use together with watercolor and gouache.

I am delighted to watch this. Thank you.

I've been using the Uni Posca on my mixed media and Acrylic work, they are the best paint pen on the market. They do come in different tips, I use the extra fine and the fine tips.

Tip: on toned paper, paint a white layer first and then the other colors above (when the first is totally dry), to make the second color brighter

Thanks for your demo. I had just bought a set of extra fine-tip (1 mm) Posca in Silver, Gold, Black & White. Lovely fine line and apparently you can mix colours with them too. I love that they`re water based but permanent on porous materials when dry. I will be looking for the .7 mm now also. Thanks again

Great video, very informative! I will definitely have to buy some of these.

So glad you put this video up. I have some Posca pens and I don’t use them like I thought I would. I was thinking I had wasted the money. Now I feel like giving them another chance

Markers give you a unified line. You might want to look into acrylic ink, which you can use with nip pens and get similar lines as with your ink pen. Acrylic inks come in translucent and opaque so you best order them from a decent art supply store which provides information on their opacity. I like the effect, too. But I think the image will benefit from the look of lines made with a nip. Thank you for the inspiration.

This element is just a stunning addition to the way you work. I really hope you employ it on many upcoming works :)

This looks like something worth experimenting with. Thank you.

I just love those , they are so opegue and pigmented!

These look like fun for punching up sketches. Good review Teoh.

I just recently purchased these. I love them. I bought extra fine and fine, I like the fine point.

Fantastic finoshed piece at the end dude, kudos deserved and justly awarded ^^

I like be Poscas. Sometimes when I do a watercolor sketch and don’t like the background, I use them to have another go at it. I love all your reviews and your art style.

Lovely drawing! I really want to try these now!

Hello Teoh. Glad that you found out what the artist was using so you could try it for yourself. Your sketch and the way you applied the colorful lines afterward looked very nice! 👍 😄 I'm using a Sharpie Paint Marker that works like those occasionally. I know they make colored ones too. Not sure how many colors they offer though. I've been pretty busy again so expect to see a few messages pop up today from me. The chores are never done lol.

I have these markers and used them to color complete backgrounds in my coloring books. The ink has not run out yet on the ones I used. So, i would say that there is a good amount in them.

Thats a Very interesting idea. Thanks for the video teoh, I might do some experiments like these!

I think that you’ve enjoy to paint with this markers Teoh ! Your style of drawing goes very well with that sort of medium, the result is nice, vivid and it seems easy to use. 👍🏻👍🏻

thankyou for all the tips!

cool tutorial!! I like your style!

I absolutely love how the sketch came out in the end! Thanks for reviewing these markers, I have been looking for something with that opacity for quite a while now. I have one Molotow marker, but it feels way to hardcore for me for sketchbook sketching.

Wow, I did not expect them to show so well on black paper! I'll have to go grab one for myself. I read somewhere that they're good for 230 meters. No idea how they measured that, but they should last quite a bit.

Chalk markers are very similar to Posca pens. Loved your sketch (and the failed attempt, too).

Teoh, Posca does make a finer tipped marker. One of my other favorite you tubers uses them frequently. I enjoyed your foray into a new style.

Ill admit, the first time I used posca pens, I wasn't so sure about them. I ended up saying I didn't like them. But I retried them and, yah, they are so useful when you want to add to your watercolouring. One thing i've learned is not to be to heavy handed when drawing with them, with watercolour paper and the texture it can actually rub. Leaving torn paper bits in the paints.

I love these markers!! They are not cheap but you can get them on sale @ Micheles every now and then! I use the medium Uni Posca and they work awesome in my Abstract work on canvas..

I use them too! But usually the white for highlights on my works. It is better than the paint marker we have in normal bookstores. U can get more colour from artfriend. I saw like the whole display in the clementi branch before, I hope they still carry those, they are also avaliable in sharp tips.

Posca's are hard to get in the US for a good price. If you can't get Posca's where you live either, you can try using Liquitex's acrylic markers. You can also buy an empty paint marker and fill it with any color or brand of liquid acrylic paint you like. I bought Montana brand empty markers (fine tip & fat chisel) and filled them with Golden's high-flo Titanium White paint. I find it works just as well as a gel pen or a Posca.

@teohyc

Yeah, I'll try some acrylic markers too.

I was in Daiso yesterday and recall seeing similar looking markers to these Posca markers. They were called (I think) Postila. I believe they were water-based too. I will check next time I go. I would have bought them (a pack of 6 - but there was no white, so I put them back) for AUD2.80 (U$2)

You can refill the pens with acrylic paint. Many videos exist on how to do that. The process is essentially to dilute the paint with some water unless you have pre-diluted paint, unscrew the pens and add the paint with an eye-dropper.

Great art

These markers look great. Something for me to get, I think :) I wonder if weighing the markers when new on accurate digital scales might be worth doing, and then, when one of them runs dry, weigh the empty one and use that as a method to gauge the remaining ink in the others. But, I guess, as you suggested, having a spare set available is the easiest option :)

I really enjoy Posca Markers too

I like that technique i wanna try it

I use fountain pens with different ink colors, not opaque but there is somewhat of a similar effect with different colored lines

Interesting style. Hope to see more of that. What is the fountain pen you are using on the beginning of the video?

A lot of artists and crafters use Posca pens since they are opaque. I have yet to try them; but, they do look like they would make a good addition to my stash of colors. It seems like I watched another KZreadr actually refill a Posca marker with acrylic ink.

I want to try these Uni Poschas. I do have the Molotov’s too.

I use posca white for highlights all the time!

thank you!

Posca has thinner nibs PC-1M and PC-1MR with 1mm and 0.7mm nibs. Somehow I only saw 1MR from Jackson's Art Supply and not even in Amazon Japan. I only have white ones PC-1M and PC-1MR but 1M is opaque and 1MR is slightly less opaque like the yellow one you have. Posca red is really nice looking.

Love these markers: They dry quickly (yes it is acrylic), it has an even and mate finish and it doesn't have that nasty SMELL you get with alcohol based markers. I used to own Copic Markers and these markers are great (so many colors available) BUT I just couldn't stand the smell of it: I sold my large set & carrying case for a few dollars for this exact reason.

I have had several of these and they were always very watery, requiring a lot of shaking to get them somewhat opaque. Maybe I just had a bad batch. I'll order a set from your link, and see if they're any better.👍

I use the Sharpie brand paint markers. The lighter colors like yellow will partially cover black with one coat, and fully cover it with two coats. I have to plan carefully how to use them because they take quite a while to dry and that can be a problem as I am left-handed and disabled. The only other problem is the paint builds up on the tip then falls away as a partially dry blob. Keeping the tip clean on scrap paper or a rag eliminates this problem. Overall I like them for what I used them for. However, I am interested and trying the Uni Posca pens.

I know you like UNI products, so I'm surprise that you don't use their white gel pens. I find them almost twice as opaque as the Gellyroll pens. If you see the Uni white gel pens around at a shop, you should pick one up and give it a try, I think you'll really like them. I find that they are the most opaque of four I have tried: Faber Castel Pitt (The worst white pen- was either transparent or at best translucent), Pentel milky pop white gel pens (second worst), Sakura Gelly roll, and Uni signo white gel pens. The UNI ball Signo werenot only the best and most opaque of the four brands, but they were also the cheapest. I think I got a pack of three for six dollars on Amazon. Oddly enough, the FC Pitt were the very most expensive, I think I got four in a package for $15 and they were surprisingly terrible. I think their black Indian ink pens are great but their white gel pens were awful.
