    The streaky thing is called "railroading". It's when the ball in the pen pushes the ink to the sides, but not the center.

      Both. I've had some degrade on me a few times.
      Usually worst if you have it exposed to sunlight, which was my fault admittedly.
      A lot of modern inks are vastly superior to the inks of old times, which is where you see the worst degradation. (especially watercolor)
      But they can still be affected by sunlight, especially if it is in the 2 hours around noon when at its strongest. (same goes for writable optical discs)

    Oil paint pens are not designed for cotton based paper. the paper absorbs the oil. Same thing for the rayman pen. Use a non porous surface and the paint will be super vibrant.

      Yeeaah, fun fact I used that marker when I do acrylics and i want some detail or outline. Because if you use a regular/normal sharpie it dries so quickly and die, so the oil baised doesn’t dry because of the oil. But I got to say that have this glossy texture at the end and be careful we does tips, are tricky af😂 if you press hard the paint will come out

      @Steeksify 6 років тому +18

      No, it's not lmao Railroading is a term exclusive to fountain and dip pens which utilize a flexible or semi-flexible nib. It's a specific term for a specific kind of mechanic. What you're referring to is simply a flow issue, as a ballpoint pen cannot physically railroad. A nib-based pen is different, since it uses 2 tines and capillary action to apply ink to paper. When the tines spread too far without sufficient ink flow, the ink does not spread between them creating two distinct lines, separated by white space (or whatever color your paper is) rather than a single line. THAT is what railroading is. It is NOT the same thing as ink appearing darker or being more concentrated along either side of the stroke, or the ink running out midstroke. Again, a ballpoint pen is physically incapable of railroading as ballpoint pens do not utilize capillary action.
      Please don't throw around terms you clearly don't understand. Thanks!

    • @AngieMyst
      @AngieMyst 6 років тому +15

      Keiss In communities that discuss ballpoint pens in depth, it's definitely commonly called railroading when the ball pushes ink to the side and the middle is thinner. The term probably evolved from its original usage meaning with fountain pen nibs. Since these are two completely different types of pens, it should be less confusing when using the same term to mean different things

    @ericainspace 6 років тому +393

    Maybe the actual conclusion to this is that you need more than one kind of white pen. A gel pen for fine dots and lines, and a juicier gel or paint pen for larger areas or that is compatible with your go-to paint and markers. I have the Sakura gelly roll and I don't like how it looks. I think in the future I will buy the Uni-ball Signo Broad, both the Uni-Pasco and Sharpie water-based paint pens, and the Sakura Glaze. Might get a Decorese for kicks.

    Other than Amazon, I'm not sure where you shop for pens at. But, recently after realizing that I needed to replace some old art supplies with new ones, I found this website called Jetpens.com. I spent about 25 dollars on close to 20 items. (bumped up the item count because if you spend $20 on your first purchase, you get free shipping) But, all of my pens and stuff were amazing and relatively inexpensive considering how much I was buying. This website is seriously the best. I get at least 85% of my art supplies from them and they are always amazing!!!

The air getting into the pen itself is said to help ink flow, which is why some pens include that detail.

      Why not get a tube of white paint/gouache and a liner paint brush? Then add highlights with the brush. I'm sure there's a better chance at finding good opaque paint in a decent price range than a pen and you'd get more uses out of them!(My pens always dry up super fast even though i keep lids tightly on) :D

      That's a good suggestion, but I am still not confident with paint outside of watercolor and I usually make very fine and small details which I usually mess up on with watercolor anyway haha. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind. :)

    man I was really excited for this video and was not let down, I agree the signo is the best one to buy and ive been using it for a couple years now. I dont know if you knew this but there is actually a gelly roll bold which I could only find in packs on amazon for 6-8 dollars, but I think its definitely worth a try. The gelly roll bold is a lot more watery than the original gelly roll and the signo, you can actually wipe it off after a couple seconds and it almost disappears. The gelly roll bold is pretty good and I would use it over the original but not over the signo. I dont really like gelly rolls but theyre good if you run out of signos or smth.
    Also it would be really cool to see you try out different paint markers! I will say though that in my experience the paint markers will be in a locked glass case in art stores so be prepared to converse with a store person for a while.
    Also using paint markers and gel pens on water based markers is really different than alcohol based markers. I have some tombow water based markers and the whites really dont work well on a lot of them ESPECIALLY red. Both paint and gel pens seem to not work well on water based markers and I kinda recommend just getting opaque white in a small package as it will work on most if not everything!
    sorry for such a long comment just putting my thoughts out there, also I wanna say I watched the whole minuet 30 ad bc it was gordon ramsay, maybe that will give you some money to buy the paint pens lol

    I'm looking for white pens currently and im thankful for your reviews. I know nothing about alcohol inks but as far as I can see the watercolor pigment is still active. So that's what you get when you interact with a dry pigment.
