It it’s taking to long to get the market started, Try not pressing and holding. Pressing several times in a row could help pump the paint down to the nib. Pressing and holding will also get the puddles you were talking about. You should be able to see the paint before it gets to the end if you pump a few times in a row and then look at it without holding it down. That’s just asking for puddles😂 great video to compare!
They are pump markers that means pump the tip not just press and hold thats why it was taking longer and it also accounts for the Montana leaking so much
Not talkin shit everytime the valve is pushed in it also pushes air allowing a controlled drip through by just pressing and holding it it has more if a chance to overflow and leak before absorbing into the tip/nib@WRITEPOWER
Thank you for sharing! My conclusion from your demo: I have no business ever owning a Posca marker. As it is, I manage to wear whatever art supply I’m using. I would probably look like I went through an acrylic ink storm if I used those. 😁
Which one drys fastest? I'd like to use them to lay down some flat color to do figure drawing over it. But the poses don't usually last too long, so drying faster would be best. Thanks!
Dry time seems to be about the same across brands for me. How long it takes to dry overall will depend on your climate and how wet you make your marks--if they are very wet, they will take a little longer to dry. But they are essentially just acrylic paint, which does not take a long time to dry. I think I've had to wait at most 10 minutes with a lot of ink and usually it just takes a minute or two for my regular thinner marks.
Thanks for sharing this! Is it possible to change the size of the nibs on any of these markers? Itd be great if there was a refillable/ reusable option that also had the ability to change nibs sizes. I have been using posca for the past couple of years. I like them but ive has issues with them flooding and or running “dry” . Im due for some new ones and will try molotow
There may be some that you can change out the nibs for different types, but it really depends on the brand and I think that is the minority of those out there.
@@MysteryArts thank you ! I bought some molotow markers, i dont think the nib can be switched and they definitely have a different feel and result than the poscas. Molotow has much heavier coverage, I like them - but am still exploring how to use them for different results . I feel like i get a more free/ abstract look from the poscas so far and molotow can fill in for more definition and heavier coverage. But like i said still getting used to them. Anyway thanks for sharing and for your reply ..take care !
I don't know if this is helpful now but Molotow does offer replacement nibs, and if you check the product details online, some markers are compatible with multipls different sizes of nibs, don't know about the other brands though. Jackson's sells 2 packs of nibs for Molotows for cheap
Thank you. I have tried off brands and then posca and now I am interested in the Molotov. I would love to see a comparison or showdown between Molotov and posca. Though I like the clear pen on the montana.
Glad I found this video. I have a few Poscas, but the fact that Uniball doesn't sell refills is a massive turnoff, so I'm looking for a brand that offers refills and is artist quality. Right now, I'm leaning toward Molotow for the refills, but if Liquitex ever offers refills or confirms that their Inks can be used as marker refills, I'll choose their markers.
My favorites are Pilot Pintor and Molotow markers for their opacity (I have a blue and a green in the Molotow and Black, white, green and gold in the Pintor). Molotow narrowly beats the Pilot Pintor for me because they're refillable and the nibs are replaceable. 😊 The Spectrum Noir metallic markers are nice too, although they have a bit of an odor because they're oil based. I also find Posca markers flood the page when I try to prime them after the first use, but I'm not sure if I'm letting them go long enough between pumps and flooding the nib.
Informative, thank you! I keep wanting to like paint markers, but I can't quite get there. I think I revert to 6-year-old thinking: Big crayons and big pencils are for little kids. and now that I can put on my shoes all by myself and know my alphabet (except in that hazy H-L zone), I'm a Big Kid and get to use the skinny weapons of art.

U talkin absolute shit😂😂😂 pumping and holding is the same effect holding is even better coz the valve is opened
Not talkin shit everytime the valve is pushed in it also pushes air allowing a controlled drip through by just pressing and holding it it has more if a chance to overflow and leak before absorbing into the tip/nib@WRITEPOWER

I find this very interesting and would love to see more comparisons.

Ur supposed to pump, them to get the ink to the nib

It’s fun to be a kid as an adult sometimes:)
