The way I use these is to lay some color onto a flat plastic pallet or tupperware lid, and then pick it up with a damp paint brush to paint with..similar to a watercolor result. I just see these as portable holding canisters of different colored ink . They are water based but dry water proof.
That's a great use for them, I have grown a lot since I've made that video and I plan on doing an up date with my new experience to really test them and show how to use them.
Just a few things...I agree with you. After my own tests with these and seeing the streaks I got frustrated. They don't compare to my Prismacolors. But they are not alcohol. They are in fact India ink and are lightfast for artwork to endure time. I spent many web searches and RU-vid searches trying to learn how to use them. Feel free to search as well if you're curious. If you brush with a certain technique they are great. I use them mostly for on the go for quick coloring sketches. Every once in a while I see a great piece someone did on Instagram. BTW your other set is actually a different brush nib. There's B and SB. Good video.
Pitt pens aren’t made to blend. (It can be done if you know how) They aren’t made for coloring books. They never have been. They’re India ink markers. If you have a design where blue crosses over yellow, the line doesn’t turn green. Just saying. These pens are for illustrators , architects, designers, conceptual artists, etc. If you wish to blend & color large areas, you purchase water or alcohol based markers … or a box of crayons.
Thank you for your comment. This is differently one of those videos where I want to remake it as I now know how to use them properly at the time I did not do much research and wanted my videos to be very fly by the seat of my pants and figure it out on the go. Now, I try to do more research. Thank you for adding this correction! I love hearing feedback and learning more!
