    Any tips on what to do when the posca markers bleed too quickly? The ink comes out and puddles erratically?

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  Месяц назад +3

      A couple of tips here. They can puddle if you press down too hard when drawing as it opens the pump mechanism inside to release more pressure ink. Try drawing lighter or make sure you shake well before use. Hope this helps.

    Golden hi flo also works but if you want cheap alternitives !! cheap acrylic airbrush works because it's made to flow better and you can make flow medium diy, my own recipe is cheap acrylic with cheap tattoo ink because it's very pigment rich and if i need a binder I use wallpaper paste!! finally a good red colour!!

    What do you think about filling them with Golden High Flow Acrylics? I wonder if the strokes will look too transparent.

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  8 месяцев назад +1

      Hey. You could try with one marker. Worth a try as if it doesn’t work you could always empty it out and clean it up. I have tried with a flow acrylic but had to use some liquifying medium and water. Just found ink was easier.

  • @zinkadu
    @zinkadu 4 месяца назад +1

    Can you use Liquitex acrylic ink? It's a lot cheaper in my country than Amsterdam's.?
    And what if the nib has dried out, can it be usable again?
    I think the Molotow acrylic ink contains a bit of alcohol?
    Thanks for your video. It's very helpful. I think the amount of ink in the Posca pens is even less now. I recently bought a couple, and they are already running out of ink, even though I haven't used them very much.
    This is especially true of the thinnest line ones.

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  3 месяца назад

      Yes, I think any acrylic ink would work. I have used Ironlak ink with success. Liquitex ink is good quality so should work.

      Hey mate. I got mine ages ago from my Art supplier who no longer sells it. I was thinking of either Amazon or I have looked online at Jacksons Art Supplies who’s in UK. I’m in Australia and no real suppliers here so might try that. I have been using Amsterdam ink recently with success but a bit expensive. Hope that helps.

    Sweet, thx! Been refilling mine for a while now but still came away with a few good tips.
    And the measuring of the content was very interesting too. A lot less ink in these than one might think...
    Do you know if it's possible to refill the PC-1MR as well?
    Haven't tried to open them yet but the tip isn't threaded like these, but press-fitted,waaay in there.

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  11 месяцев назад +3

      Glad you got a few tips from the video. I'm not a fan of the PC-1MR but you can get the lid off by using a thin palette knife or butter knife. Put pressure between the colour bit and the black part and pry off. Pliers are no good as it squashes the tips. Not ideal but that's how I have done it in the past. I was surprised by the ink levels in the Posca markers. Not very sustainable that's why I refill them. Cheers for the comment and feedback 👍🏻😀

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  9 месяцев назад +2

      I just uploaded a video about How to Refill the Posca PC-1MR. It turns out that small pliers are the best way. Check out the video as it is a tricky process but well worth it to hang onto those empty markers. 😀

      I buy a fairly normal acrylic ink of normal quality as far as I think, they are not known brands, I have diluted with water but when making strokes are poorly defined, it is not consistent, the empty markers are a purchase I made by Amazon from a brand called "Kisston Marker" I guess they are fairly inexpensive markers to start.
      But I'm starting to question the quality, because the acrylic ink I use is not the worst either.

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  10 месяцев назад

      Hey Pedro, Could be worth trying your ink in an empty Posca Marker just to rule out the ink as the issue of the poorly defines and inconsistent line. Ive never tried the Kisston Markers before.

    • @pedrollobet
      @pedrollobet 10 месяцев назад +1

      hey my friend, I tried refilling a marker with printer ink and surprisingly the markers work very well so far, I didn't use any particular brand, I was given 1L of generic ink and so far it works quite well.
      obviously it does not have the viscosity that acrylic ink can have or the density, but I think it is an alternative, greetings from Venezuela.

  • @GOJO692
    @GOJO692 9 месяцев назад +1

    Just few questions... If I had no pliers or im not allowed to use them what is another way to unscrew the top? And what if I have no acrilic paint/ink to refill? What else can I use to refill it?

    • @PeterEvansArt
      @PeterEvansArt  9 месяцев назад +1

      It would be difficult to get the cap / top off without pliers, clamp or some other gripping device so you can unscrew. Once you get it off once if you don’t over tighten you could just undo with fingers like i do. You really need ink/ paint to refill. You can add a bit if water to get a bit of extra life but it dilutes the colour.
