    Very helpful! Which type of paper works best for Posca?

    • @uniballuk
      @uniballuk  Рік тому

      Great question! When using POSCA markers, it's important to choose the right paper to achieve the best results.
      For the best experience with POSCA markers, we recommend using a smooth, heavyweight paper or cardstock. This type of paper allows the markers to glide smoothly and minimizes any bleeding or feathering of the ink.
      You can also try using specific art papers designed for markers or illustration boards, which are often coated to prevent ink from soaking in too quickly. This helps to maintain vibrant colours and sharp lines.
      Experimenting with different papers is a good way to find what works best for your specific project and style, so don't be afraid to try a few options and see which one suits your needs. Happy creating!

    Thank you. The problem is you never know when it runs out of paint, right? So in the middle of a work you may be stuck.
    Also if you forget the cap, it dries solid and unusable?

  • @Big-Chungus21
    @Big-Chungus21 Рік тому +1

    Are the 1mrs good for stippling? Recently been absolutely obsessed with stippling and pointilism and ive wanted to work with colour for the longest time. Problem is, i find myself upset with the limited amount of choices you can get colour-wise.
    Is the mark of the 1mr relatively consistent, similar to fineliner pens? Ive used technical pens for the longest time which are insanely precise, but honestly at the scale i work at thats not entirely necessary.
    Bonus if anyone can provide me an example of stippling / pointilism with the 1mr. 😅

    • @UnderTheMoon3
      @UnderTheMoon3 Рік тому

      Yes , you can get tiny dots and if you press a lil bit hard you can get slightly bigger dot it’s still tiny tho but it’s got for variation , as for examples I don’t have any but you can use them like ink pens they are just colored paint instead of black ink

    What size would you recommend to get autographs on posters? I've got a glossy photo paper poster and normal sharpies smear and can come off. So looking at a Posca and either the 5M or 3M . Would I be able to let it dry and roll up my poster? No flaking when dry or smearing?

    • @whatisthis__95
      @whatisthis__95 5 років тому +5

      They are quite flexible once dried, so no flaking should occur. Probably the 5M would work best, but the 3M is nice also
