They’re also pretty opaque too so once a layer of posca dries you can draw over it in another colour of posca which is cool! I also got an ask on my opinion of posca pens and to be honest I think they’re pretty great, I’ve got a whole tin of them! The only bad things I can say is that sometimes you might buy one which is already pretty dry so you can’t get much paint out of it ‘cause it’s a dud, there’s also the problem that when you “paint” a big block of posca it can start to come up with little bits (not sure if it’s wet paper or just blobs of paper and paint) that you have to pick off every few seconds which is a bit annoying." Jolene" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Dolly Parton. I love using Posca pens too which are water-based paint pens, they’re actually really good for screen printed designs because they come up with textured brush strokes. I always use a Staedtler mechanical pencil with Pilot Eno pencil lead (from 2B-6B) and I swear by it because it’s so good! :-) I like using coloured pencils in my work and rather than pencil brand/type I usually go by the softest lead, again 2B - 6B because I just think they’re nicer to use than harder lead pencils.įor painting and stuff I like using Parker Quink ink because even though it looks like black ink it comes out with lots of different shades of colours within the black which always looks good - I’ve also got a Pentel water brush pen that I like to fill up with quink so it paints in ink straightaway! I also like using my 5-tier Koh-I-Noor round watercolour set because there’s so many colours in it and I like mixing it sometimes with white Winsor & Newton gouache so it has nice colour but the opacity of gouache. I had a few asks about my art supplies so here ya go!
