Comparing Different Paint Markers! 

Awesome!! Happy to help!

I have also had my liquitex set for a long time (few years) and the paint mixes right up with no issue!

True ! Back In High school I was really Into the graffiti scene here in Vegas , and yes deco is the best for piece books and Jan sport backpacks ! Lol shit I rember having to steal krylons way back in the day !

Tell me about it haha i got ARTEZA paint markers and they suck. They're ok for beginners or sketch pieces but they don't compare to Deco or Posca

Deco are definitely my favorite . Been a fan of them since 97' . Worked at Michael's arts and crafts back in the day .

Which one you decide to go with. I’m in the same boat. Hell a friend out

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

Yay! I tried to get as many paint markers listed as possible, but it's definitely not all of them. I did my best to get the markers that were pretty commonly used!

You can get fine lined paint markers at most art stores. I'm unsure where you're located, but Blick will usually carry most variations of these paint markers (online as well). You should also have good luck finding the various sizes at the websites of each marker brand! As for sealers, as long as you aren't using a solvent-based marker (like, if it's just acrylic or oil based) you can use any traditional paint sealer/varnish - whether in a spray can or something you need to brush on (like a winsor-newton varnish). If you start getting into solvent-based markers or paints, you'll really need to do some digging to make sure you don't accidentally run the paint right off of your surface. Also, make sure you keep alcohol-based products clear of acrylic paint. Rubbing alcohol will lift most acrylics paints off of their surfaces, even after they're dry. Edit: Typo

@@Mete0ryt thank you for responding back I greatly appreciate it and thank you for your advice. I will check my surrounding art stores for fine liners and for types of acrylic paint markers here in DFW, TX. I once was recommended to use Gamblin Gamvar Gloss Picture Varnish from an art supply store on one of my art work and it ruined it completely the posca markers started to come off and smeared off. I was very disappointed but I had to move on. That why I asked the question. I'm afraid to use any type varnish now.

@@eliasarts Not a problem! I've never used Gamvar. Gave it a google, and their application process seems a little more precarious than some other varnishes. I researched some Posca Fixation methods for you. Fixation, just meaning the final process of varnishing/fixing the painting to a surface, has some different steps depending on the surface you're painting. www.posca.com/en/support/ If you read this, click the material on which you're painting and it'll give you directions for surface preparation, followed by fixation. I *have* had a varnish slip a mirror paint off of a canvas once (the video is on my channel - Semple's Mirror Paint), but I didn't realize that the mirror paint was solvent-based. I varnish DOZENS of paintings a year. That is the only time that has happened to me. I also usually only use varnish from Winsor-Newton or Golden. Not much experience outside of that. Good luck! I hope that link helps!

@@Mete0ryt You are such a wonderful person for going that extra mile 👏 in researching and delivering some advice for me. Thank so you much I greatly appreciated your help and assistance.

You should try artistro, very opaque. They do a lot of different sized tips, including a fine tip…Do need a good shake before using, but are beautiful to use…

Amazon! They're pretty great. I use them for cleaning brushes as well. I can just rub paint brushes with soap or cleaner across my palm and the texture agitates perfectly!

I'll check that out! Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a good question - something that I should probably make a separate video for, honestly. To my knowledge, oil vs acrylic shouldn't matter on 3d printing filaments, but I'd imagine nib size would matter quite a bit, especially if you were trying to get into curves or corners. So maybe if you have a lot of corners or crevices I'd go with a narrow pen, but if you had an unsanded finish you might benefit more from a larger nib that could handle the texture. I'd believe you'd be safe using Molotow, Montana, Posca... really any of the big names that I mentioned in the video. Maybe I should hook up my 3d printer to give these a go! Thanks for the idea.

Posca is solid for the price range! Hopefully you can find a retailer who carries them or will deliver them to you.

I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 (Montreal, Quebec) and I get them at Omer De Serres or Endeavours and ThinkPlay (in New Brunswick), among other places. Hope that helps 🙂

Well, that also depends on what size you need, colors, and a host of variables. But if you look at the section where I color onto the pallet wood, I list a few!

Yeah, someone else mentioned they had to cut it open to see whether there was a ball in it. I can't tell with this set, at all. First use to nearly empty. It's not my favorite, but if it works for you, that's all that matters!!

I'm not alone!!

Oh no!!! Well, at least I'm not alone!

Yeah, someone mentioned it. For the life of me I couldn't get a ball loose in that marker! No idea.

Not for all models :)

Fabric can be tough and paint markers might not be the best or easiest. I don't have much experience with fabric, but I'd follow suit with the canvas shoe artists that are out there. Most of them seem to successfully use alcohol-based markers (like Copic) to illustrate on shoes. Since they are not water-based, they're considered permanent. Something like Copic might be your best bet, especially for fast results. I'd keep a bottle of refill ink handy, too.

@@Mete0ryt Thank you very much for your reply. I will look into these.

Lol this is about art not about where you can put your d

Relax Karen 😌 initially I thought that person was a boy so calm your tits. And there is nothing wrong asking somebody's gender.
