    What I like about your videos is that the description already has the outcome. I'm watching this from the National Bookstore (a book and school supplies shop) and I have no time to scan through a lot of suggestions. I trust you in this! 😂

    The red and especially blue Signo reactivates nicely with a wet q-tip. Have you ever tried reactivating water based white gel pens over color and blending it? I plan to try.

    Thank you so much for this video. I'm on a limited budget and over the years have wasted money ( in my mind) on white gel pens. After seeing your video and getting a birthday gift card from my husband I purchased the white Gelly Roll and the Pilot G-2 white pen. I love both but the Gelly is my absolute favorite. I haven't had the clogs and drips like the other pens I have used. This brings me tons of warm fuzzy feelings. :)

    I personally love Derwent's white paint pen! Its tip is not much If any thicker than a gel pen ... at least the one I own, they may do different sizes? And it's opacity is thicker than gel pens too! 😊

    I have used the Uni-Ball Signo, and liked it alot. But recently, it ran out so I went to my local store (It sells toys, stationary supplies, food, cosmetics and socks. Their socks are great btw) and they only had the Pentel one. I think they are both good. But I'll use the pentel one in the future cause its cheaper than the signo.

    • @aeriacross770
      @aeriacross770 2 года назад

      I've been having problems with skipping on the uniball signo (I bought multiple times) though I love the opacity. I just found the Pentel Hybrid in 1.0 in a sort of mom and pop stationary store here in Paris. I love that it doesn't skip but it isn't as opaque as I want it to be. Still, I appreciate and like it.

    I use prismacolors makers to lay down color on my cartoonist/anime style drawings and then shade in wax based pencils. I have been using zig cartoonist ink and a calligraphy brush to add white shines when I am finished but I'd love for one of these pens to work for me. The wax based pencils can make it troublesome for me.

    After watching some of your recent videos and seeing you use the Uniball white gel pens I decided to order some. I have a five pack of these and a Midori Spiral Ring Notebook Camel which has acid free kraft paper. I wanted to experiment a little with the kraft paper with colored pencils. Guaranteed delivery of those this Sunday the 6th too. I'm a happy camper right now lol! ^_^
    I also recently got a Canson XL watercolor pad with 100 sheets for practicing. I just don't like their XL Mix Media paper for watercolors. The pattern would annoy me and I don't anything that would make me not want to practice. At least the XL Watercolor pad has a cold press irregular pattern from what I can see. I know you wanna use up the XL Mix Media pad, but I don't see how you keep from getting irritated with it.

    • @teohyc
      @teohyc  8 лет назад +1

      Cool. Have fun drawing. I might want to check out those Canson XL watercolor paper also. Could be good to use for demos on RUclips. :-P

    I have a tricky question.
    So I am doing a lot of Pigment Ink drawings with an Artling pen.
    And I bought also a Hybrid Gel Grip DX pen, so when I made a miskake I could overwrite it and it works wonders. But then I bought some Gel Pens in different colors and the colors can't get through.
    What is your suggestion? Should I buy Pigma Ink Micron from Sakura in different colors? Do they overwrite the gel pen well???
    I am tempted to buy them, but then again if it doesn't work I don't want to spend too much money on them.

    • @teohyc

    When I use pen ink, (not just white gels), do I ink first, and then watercolor? Or do I do vice-versa

    • @teohyc
      @teohyc  8 лет назад +1

      +RealVincetti You can do it either way. Usually for me, I use ink then watercolour. If I want extra contrast in some areas, I will have ink over the water again. But when you go over with ink, you have to be careful if you want to follow the original line.

    Another reason to NOT use the oil-based white marker...
    Oil attacks the paper quite badly. You ruin any archival qualities your picture might have had as soon as you put oil on.
    One thing I haven't seen you do in your videos... The sunshine test.
    A few years ago, I did the test. And I was surprised at the results.
    This is the test...
    Take two sheets of acid-free, archival quality paper. Use every ink, pigment, paint that you rely on for your work. Make labelled swatches of everything. Whatever you do on one sheet, do it on the other, so you've got a reference duplicate.
    Now, put the date on both sheets. Put one in a light-proof drawer. Tape the other sheet on a window that receives maximum sunlight.
    Wait a month.
    Compare both sheets.
    You'll immediately notice that anything that came out of a ballpoint pen will be faded. Anything from a student range of pigments will be a different colour.
    Return the sheets to their respective places.
    Come back in six months.
    Only your top archival quality pigment based India ink will still look fresh. Everything else will be slightly or significantly faded.
    All ballpoint lines will be invisible. As if they were never there. That includes Uniball black ink, by the way.
    My recommendation is that you should give up on the ballpoint pens. All of them.
    I settled on using Higgins Eternal India Ink.
    I worked only in black, so I haven't tested pigments. But I strongly urge you to test all of your pigments too.
    (This test is irrelevant if you scan or digitise every picture immediately, and only ever sell prints. But if you actually care about originals, and archiving them, you'll have to change your ways.)

    • @teohyc
      @teohyc  8 лет назад

      +Roy Blumenthal By Uniball black ink, do you mean their ballpoint ink or liquid ink. I know ballpoint pens don't use pigment inks. They are still some sort of dye based ink.
      However, the are some disposable pens from Uniball that actually use pigment ink.

      Hi Teoh...
      I don't mean the Uniball dipping inks. I mean their ballpoint pens. Even the ones that claim to be permanent.
      Best bet is to do the sunshine test and make sure that the ink you're depending on is actually archival.
      I guarantee that you'll be more than a bit surprised by some of the results.
      Oh... It occurs to me...
      While you're setting up the test, do FOUR sheets of paper... 2 archival acid-free, 2 photocopy paper.
      That way you get to see the effects over time of non-archival paper on pigment. Bond paper has some acid in it. So you should see deterioration.

      +Roy Blumenthal I usually just spray fixative over the ink. Those that break up are not Lightfast and most certainly are not pigment based.

    there's some sort of feedback (like a gnawing high-pitch squeal) throughout your video that makes it unbearable. I had to stop after only a few seconds it was so bad. no idea what's causing it but thought I should let you know.

    You say over and over "these" are very useful pens. WHICH PEN. WHAT IS THE NAME OF IT??? "I USE THEM", "THESE ARE GOOD". What is the name of the pen(s) you are recommending. Very poorly done.
