i would recommend using a white out pen if you want a really opaque pen I use one and they work great to cover up mistakes!! the only thing that could be a problem is that you cant really draw over it
Both. I've had some degrade on me a few times. Usually worst if you have it exposed to sunlight, which was my fault admittedly. A lot of modern inks are vastly superior to the inks of old times, which is where you see the worst degradation. (especially watercolor) But they can still be affected by sunlight, especially if it is in the 2 hours around noon when at its strongest. (same goes for writable optical discs)
Oil paint pens are not designed for cotton based paper. the paper absorbs the oil. Same thing for the rayman pen. Use a non porous surface and the paint will be super vibrant.
Thanks so much! I'm testing the supplies how I would use them, so its important to know how they will look on cotton paper for me. But that is good to know!
@@shannonwooters3443 Have you tried Posca paint pens? I have to admit I never tried them on a dry pumpkin but they are meant to be able to cover any surfaces!
Yeeaah, fun fact I used that marker when I do acrylics and i want some detail or outline. Because if you use a regular/normal sharpie it dries so quickly and die, so the oil baised doesn’t dry because of the oil. But I got to say that have this glossy texture at the end and be careful we does tips, are tricky af😂 if you press hard the paint will come out
I love the posca PC-1MR 0.7mm a bit thinner than the posca pen she used, and more like a fineliner type. Shows up really good and a little bit pricey but definitely worth it. Probably will eat a little bit of paper but only if you draw a really big spot.
Get ohuhu they're great! They don't eat paper, they barley have streaks, if u get the brush nibs they're pretty good for detail and they work really well on tons of paper! Btw they are not pricy and they come with a protective mat for bleeding! Hope this helps!

No, it's not lmao Railroading is a term exclusive to fountain and dip pens which utilize a flexible or semi-flexible nib. It's a specific term for a specific kind of mechanic. What you're referring to is simply a flow issue, as a ballpoint pen cannot physically railroad. A nib-based pen is different, since it uses 2 tines and capillary action to apply ink to paper. When the tines spread too far without sufficient ink flow, the ink does not spread between them creating two distinct lines, separated by white space (or whatever color your paper is) rather than a single line. THAT is what railroading is. It is NOT the same thing as ink appearing darker or being more concentrated along either side of the stroke, or the ink running out midstroke. Again, a ballpoint pen is physically incapable of railroading as ballpoint pens do not utilize capillary action. Please don't throw around terms you clearly don't understand. Thanks!
Keiss In communities that discuss ballpoint pens in depth, it's definitely commonly called railroading when the ball pushes ink to the side and the middle is thinner. The term probably evolved from its original usage meaning with fountain pen nibs. Since these are two completely different types of pens, it should be less confusing when using the same term to mean different things
The oil based pen is for writing and labeling plastic things! I use them a lot in chem lab to label chemicals and containers and stuff. That's why it doesn't show up too well on paper
@@MarsellaFyngold me tooooo I somehow clicked randomly in hope of getting CLOSE to when the results were, but I actually clicked at 19:26? The chances????
Maybe the actual conclusion to this is that you need more than one kind of white pen. A gel pen for fine dots and lines, and a juicier gel or paint pen for larger areas or that is compatible with your go-to paint and markers. I have the Sakura gelly roll and I don't like how it looks. I think in the future I will buy the Uni-ball Signo Broad, both the Uni-Pasco and Sharpie water-based paint pens, and the Sakura Glaze. Might get a Decorese for kicks.
A while ago, I bought the Uniball Signo Broad, and honestly didn’t even know how good of a brand it was and how good the quality was. However when I watched this video, you encouraged me to use it more. Thanks! :3
Same i thought id find a different brand or style white ink pen to use but guess i have a good one well old friend looks like we're stuck together i use my over colored pencils prisma to be specific works pretty well
I use Marquee matte sample paint (its the kind you find at home depot). For like 4 bucks I have enough paint that will last me a while. I mean it's literally *paint* but it's paint made to cover marks on walls and such and cover up things and not be transparent.
kinda sad at how the Sakura Classic was kind of thrown under the rug, even though she was the only actual gel pen to show up on the marker and water color :/
The Sharpie oil based paint marker looked magical! The way it went from this bright white to disappearing into nothing looked cool lol. Don’t get me wrong, terrible for a “paint marker” but it looked cool lol!
@@zhongliismyhusband2684 the way she holds the pen is... Really wrong. Don't hold it perpendicular to the paper. Closer to a 45 degree angle and the ink will flow out continuously. Her "pet peeve" is actually caused by the way shes writing. Some pens are just shitty but she wasn't giving these a fair shake on the continuity test.
I use the Uniball Signo classic gel pen and I've never had that discoloration before and all I do it watercolor. I use Arches and Strathmore 400 series watercolor paper. Maybe it's the combo of type of paper that made it discolor like that?
Well,with me it happens too,but I use it on smooth multimedia paper so I think you could have a point there. Though ussually when I apply it somewhat thickly it acctually works pretty good. So it could also be the way its applied ,I guess.
Other than Amazon, I'm not sure where you shop for pens at. But, recently after realizing that I needed to replace some old art supplies with new ones, I found this website called Jetpens.com. I spent about 25 dollars on close to 20 items. (bumped up the item count because if you spend $20 on your first purchase, you get free shipping) But, all of my pens and stuff were amazing and relatively inexpensive considering how much I was buying. This website is seriously the best. I get at least 85% of my art supplies from them and they are always amazing!!!
All this time, I've been using the Bic Wite-Out Shake'n Squeeze Correction Pen and _hating it_ for its constantly variegating flow, wet-and-dusty smearing, weirdly raised texture, and the physical pain it causes to have to switch between pressing in like a knife and lightly grazing like a butterfly. Turns out, white gel pens exist.
I’ve been trying to make my painters paint pen work but it’s killing my soul and my drawings. I’m so happy this video exists because I need something better. Badly.
I actually liked the tissue paper effect it gave on the paper tbf. But yeah it's unfair to rate it so bad considering this isn't it's intended purpose x
I used gelly rolls for a long period of time but became increasingly frustrated with how they give up over alcohol ink, and the continuous railroading. I still use it because its finer than uniball but the opacity and quality of the uniball is far superior in my opinion!
the water-based sharpie can also be found with a "pointed" tip if you find the extra fine ones! you dont have to go for posca if you want a fine paint-marker
Fennec Fabulous hey guys, this isn't one of simply nailogical videos, please respect the creator (drawingwiffwaffles) and cristine on her own channel? It's like the army situation where kpop isnt relevant
Choose your character [PEN] Her: I want the perfect pen Game: the perfect pen has not yet been found Her: I will test them all Outcome of it all: this video
She didn't test white out, haha, or Dip pens with that Dr martin ink. I think watercolor artists just try to leave the white space unpainted, rather than paint over it.
That’s probably why that one pen wasn’t working too good at first, it probably had some wax residue on it. I had pens with wax on top and that happened.
that’s interesting. that’s almost how highlight (the makeup) works sometimes. some of them have a layer that doesn’t seem as shiny / bright / blinding, but once scraped off it is amazing.
That moment when you hope to finally find a better/the best white gel pen bc your own kinda sucks but than you find out that the one you have is already the best. Disappointed but not surprised
I don't know if you'll see this, but I have a tip for the small breaks in lines when using pen. I would recommend pens with small holes somewhere on the opposite end of the tip or the barrel. The air getting into the pen itself is said to help ink flow, which is why some pens include that detail.
The expensive ones did the worst! I'm so gonna get the uni-ball singo broad and the sharpie water-based paint marker. Also I might get the sakura glaze pen. Now I got to figure out where to get these or if I should just buy them online. Thanks for helping people see which ones worked the best! :3
If you ever get a chance try a Molotow fine paint marker. Doesn't dry or clog as much as the cheaper Sharpies and more opaque than the Posca. Signo is also what I preferr for a gel pen but I find paint markers are more consistent.
Mabye the discoloration is because the pens are waterbased and the dyes and pigments mix into it cuz the pens are reactivating the paint. But this is my theory 😂
I think the ramay may be for like a black board like the ones you see outside restaurants with the specials and such. It looks like the markers we used to use at my family's old restuarant
As someone who draws and enjoys adding white highlights to drawings, I found this very helpful. I took a screenshot of your end result to remind myself which pens are best although I’d also narrowed down to the same you did in a far less organized fashion. Thank you so much! 😍👍🥰
Waffles I don’t KNKW if you know but store posca pens upside down. Cap on the ground because if you don’t hey get really watery! And it won’t fade like you were seeing
Oh my goooossshhh!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I’ve had four different types of gel pens, and they all are either, streaky, quick running out of ink, not opaque enough, or just not even work! Now I’ll kno for sure lmao
Why not get a tube of white paint/gouache and a liner paint brush? Then add highlights with the brush. I'm sure there's a better chance at finding good opaque paint in a decent price range than a pen and you'd get more uses out of them!(My pens always dry up super fast even though i keep lids tightly on) :D
That's a good suggestion, but I am still not confident with paint outside of watercolor and I usually make very fine and small details which I usually mess up on with watercolor anyway haha. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind. :)
I know this is a very old video, but if you get the Sakura Classic in a size 10, there is much less streaky-ness, and personally for me it shows up on all of my mediums (alcohol markers, watercolor, crayons, and brushlettering (usually with waterbased colors). I can also color over it with an alcohol marker and it looks fine, just a tad bit lighter.
ella conover I don’t think that’s their point. The original commenter just meant that they’re soooo bored that they’re watching someone swatch white pens (because they’re bored and look at this as interesting)
man I was really excited for this video and was not let down, I agree the signo is the best one to buy and ive been using it for a couple years now. I dont know if you knew this but there is actually a gelly roll bold which I could only find in packs on amazon for 6-8 dollars, but I think its definitely worth a try. The gelly roll bold is a lot more watery than the original gelly roll and the signo, you can actually wipe it off after a couple seconds and it almost disappears. The gelly roll bold is pretty good and I would use it over the original but not over the signo. I dont really like gelly rolls but theyre good if you run out of signos or smth. Also it would be really cool to see you try out different paint markers! I will say though that in my experience the paint markers will be in a locked glass case in art stores so be prepared to converse with a store person for a while. Also using paint markers and gel pens on water based markers is really different than alcohol based markers. I have some tombow water based markers and the whites really dont work well on a lot of them ESPECIALLY red. Both paint and gel pens seem to not work well on water based markers and I kinda recommend just getting opaque white in a small package as it will work on most if not everything! sorry for such a long comment just putting my thoughts out there, also I wanna say I watched the whole minuet 30 ad bc it was gordon ramsay, maybe that will give you some money to buy the paint pens lol
Looking in stores, the only one I was able to find was the Uniball broad and was actually surprised with how well it worked but I was convinced there would be a better one out there that I couldn't get my hands on lol. This was helpful :)
Just here to possibly make you smile, I love your art, you're one of my biggest inspiration, art-wise & in general 💜 Hope you have a great day, keep making such great art & videos 🌈 (Even tho this video doesn't have a lot to do with artworks, thought this was something that had to be said 😊)
Best white pen comparison I've seen! Thanks very much. You made my choice very easy without a lot of trial and error. We need more right-to-the-point, informative YT videos like this. Nicely done!!
You can use a correction pen because it works well, it's cheap and it is so smooth I also use the Sakura gelly ball pen too but the correction pen has more pigment 😁 So I recommend you to use a correction pen 👍👍👍 Love your channel 😍😍😘😘❤️❤️
thank you so much waffles for doing this! It was fun to watch you, and very informative also :-) at this point in my life, I just can’t afford to go buy a bunch of art supplies and try them out myself. So it’s really nice to kind of watch you test them and see how they work or don’t work
great test. Gelli Roll also makes a pen called souffle that works much like the glaze. goes on clear, dries white. Love the Posca for bigger areas. It will reactive watercolor. Going over it a second time will brighten the marks. Thanks for an informative post.
i genuinely appreciate the white coordinated nails.
Cookies R us she probably painted them with one of those pens lolz
Cookies R us same
I noticed this too haha

Jajajajja
The streaky thing is called "railroading". It's when the ball in the pen pushes the ink to the sides, but not the center.
I hate railroads then
omg. Your comment is a godsend
NOICE
Ooo thanks for the info
Thx
I like my gel pens nice and opaque.
They better cover up any color, diseases and sins of my past life
Revati Mahajan What kind?
i would recommend using a white out pen if you want a really opaque pen
I use one and they work great to cover up mistakes!! the only thing that could be a problem is that you cant really draw over it
LittleArtsyCreations 88 there's also the issue of it occasionally adding a weird texture when you add a lot of it
yeah also it can smear if you dont wait for it to dry
Well that went from 0 to 100 real quick
tip: gel pens should be held at an angle when writing and drawing so that the flow of ink is more even and u don’t get patches of blank space!
Siyas thank you!!!
Oh my god thank you for this knowledge
I agree!! I realized this when I saw a white spot on the ballpoint and I thought my pen was running out

Some lighter toned inks can be quite bad with time.

Yeah, the Raymay pen is a "board marker" so it's meant for black chalk boards when you want something cleaner and more permanent than chalk.
The Sharpie Oil Based Paint Marker is actually use it on non-absorbent surface (metal,glass, etc.). So it doesn't work on paper.
It works in a dirty white shoes to make it new again.

Just a head up... Jet Pens has a RUclips channel where they compare stationary and talk about stationary etc.
I’ve never heard a pen that has been described with the word *” J U I C Y “*
Spirit Zee you must not use pens or markers a lot then
Huh. I hear it ALL THE TIME in artsy circles.
You haven’t?
Spirit Zee u do not take art seriously if u have never called a juicy pen JUICY
@@kiui5022 lmao how was that a joke
All this time, I've been using the Bic Wite-Out Shake'n Squeeze Correction Pen and _hating it_ for its constantly variegating flow, wet-and-dusty smearing, weirdly raised texture, and the physical pain it causes to have to switch between pressing in like a knife and lightly grazing like a butterfly.
Turns out, white gel pens exist.
I’ve been trying to make my painters paint pen work but it’s killing my soul and my drawings.
I’m so happy this video exists because I need something better. Badly.
It says on the packaging for the Raymay marker that's its for blackboards :) Maybe that's why it's got such a weird texture
Yes! It is not for paper.
That makes sense, that's kinda of what I assumed
I actually liked the tissue paper effect it gave on the paper tbf. But yeah it's unfair to rate it so bad considering this isn't it's intended purpose x
That explains why it looked like chalk to me
I dont know what I am doing here but now I want a white gel pen
Meh to idk why lol
I used gelly rolls for a long period of time but became increasingly frustrated with how they give up over alcohol ink, and the continuous railroading. I still use it because its finer than uniball but the opacity and quality of the uniball is far superior in my opinion!
Hawks Art Same.
I just do 2-3 layers with gelly rolls. I only use them for like highlights or an outline, so it's ok
Gelly Roll is certainly a good cheap option!
Waffles: has every white pen known to exist
Me: sitting with a white colored pencil
Lmao me rn
lmao same doe
Same
Ur not alone
LMAO FELT THIS
You should do a video of you drawing with your worst art supplies that you have! 🤩
or old ones lol
Omg yesssss
I don’t think she has any
@@lizalmicnizal3450 clearly not, she bought the sharpie oil based paint marker hahaha
the water-based sharpie can also be found with a "pointed" tip if you find the extra fine ones! you dont have to go for posca if you want a fine paint-marker
Yes! I have it and always use it. When I saw her with only the fine one I was like "Nooo! There are finer ones you can have, it can be finer!"
BakaMat02 can it be osofine?
I use 5:21 bcs I found it on the floor in my school lol
Pastel_ Demon ooh mood
is that not how everyone gets their art supplies?
Omg i found one of those on the ground of my school too
poor
What a mood
"What white pen do you use?"
Me: *sharpens a normal pink eraser and erases for highlights*
Me too!!
SAMEEEEE
can't do that with markers or water color tho
@Martin Pigeon kneaded earaser?
Snow Print sameee 😂
I bought one of the ones u have in the start. And I just bought not knowing it was good lol
You Are Sh00k
Why holo everyone
Hello sock
Holo. Did this remind you of a certain other RUclipsr?

Choose your character [PEN]
Her: I want the perfect pen
Game: the perfect pen has not yet been found
Her: I will test them all
Outcome of it all: this video
She didn't test white out, haha, or Dip pens with that Dr martin ink. I think watercolor artists just try to leave the white space unpainted, rather than paint over it.
May i know what is the black notebook you are using?? :O
Lucinda 250 I don’t know what the brand is, but she got it in a ScrawlrBox a few months ago, and the box had a bunch of metallic pens and pencils.
Lol I thought of the Death Note
Omg :O
No
Lol
Little Meow Meow death note has brown pages
FUN FACT: the tips you get on the top of new pens are actually wax
That’s probably why that one pen wasn’t working too good at first, it probably had some wax residue on it. I had pens with wax on top and that happened.
Cheese interesting idea
It’s very possible, I keep that in mind with my pens with wax
Princess Corndog Boy you just be fun at parties (I'm just kidding that actually is really interesting)
spacedout lol
that’s interesting. that’s almost how highlight (the makeup) works sometimes. some of them have a layer that doesn’t seem as shiny / bright / blinding, but once scraped off it is amazing.
That moment when you hope to finally find a better/the best white gel pen bc your own kinda sucks but than you find out that the one you have is already the best. Disappointed but not surprised
Why is this me rn
I think the “Sharpie oil based” pen isn’t meant to be used on absorbent things maybe try it on a mug 🤔🤔
Why am I even watching this I don’t do art 😂 😂 😂
Same😂
Same 🤣
Same
ITS ENTERTAINING
Btw my caps were on soooooo yeah
sandra garrido yeah I agree
Since the pens are mostly waterbased, maybe they are reactivivating the watercolors and that’s why they don’t show up as well 🤷🏼♂️
But what about the markers? Why do they show through if they're alcohol based
Ксения Старцева
Alcohol is soluble in water
I don't know if you'll see this, but I have a tip for the small breaks in lines when using pen. I would recommend pens with small holes somewhere on the opposite end of the tip or the barrel. The air getting into the pen itself is said to help ink flow, which is why some pens include that detail.
The expensive ones did the worst! I'm so gonna get the uni-ball singo broad and the sharpie water-based paint marker. Also I might get the sakura glaze pen. Now I got to figure out where to get these or if I should just buy them online. Thanks for helping people see which ones worked the best! :3
If you ever get a chance try a Molotow fine paint marker. Doesn't dry or clog as much as the cheaper Sharpies and more opaque than the Posca. Signo is also what I preferr for a gel pen but I find paint markers are more consistent.
Some of the pens might only work on certain paper or less absorbent surfaces
Mabye the discoloration is because the pens are waterbased and the dyes and pigments mix into it cuz the pens are reactivating the paint. But this is my theory 😂
Your lil doodle/shape tests for the pens were very helpful in helping me decide what I’m looking for.
GELLYROLL SQUAD WHERE YOU AT
OOOF RIGHT HERE
The Confetti Monster here
🙌
hey hey
Did someone call? (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎
I think the ramay may be for like a black board like the ones you see outside restaurants with the specials and such. It looks like the markers we used to use at my family's old restuarant
Apparently it is glow in the dark as well
*"everyone in the uk is gonna be like what that's like a dOllaR pEn" im from uk currency is pounds...😂😂💀*
Tania Alemide yea!
Pink Diamond holy crap you like Steven Universe?
Lol, I'm in the UK too
Yep
yeah, thats common sense, but she probably said it either out of habit or because she didn’t know the exact “translation” (?) 😂
I love how she painted her nails white to the coulor of the pens! 😁🤭🥰
As someone who draws and enjoys adding white highlights to drawings, I found this very helpful. I took a screenshot of your end result to remind myself which pens are best although I’d also narrowed down to the same you did in a far less organized fashion. Thank you so much! 😍👍🥰
I think whenever your pens do that weird thing where it skips ink, is called railroading. :) Love your videos 💕
I have no white gel pens... GIMME!! xD Love your channel and your art ❤️
I don't either and I wish I did, I have a silver one but it doesn't work as well
SAME
Talks about the sharpie
Rin:it’s like a paint pen
Me:IT IS A PAINT PEN!!!!
Next you should make a video about the best black paper to use white pens on!!
haha, that would be...interesting. XP
Darn. I possess no gel pens.
ShoutLatios you might some white gelly roll pens in a nearby crafts store like joan's or michael's
You can also use white paint with a fine brush if you have it.
ShoutLatios I just use a white out
It’s YelePanda LIFE HACK
i posses many but 0 whites ;-;
Waffles I don’t KNKW if you know but store posca pens upside down. Cap on the ground because if you don’t hey get really watery! And it won’t fade like you were seeing
i was storing it horizontal, I'll keep that in mind!
DrawingWiffWaffles alado you hace too shake it a lot before using it. it still fades a bit but not as much
uniball is the best, most affirdable brand when it comes to pens, i love their products, they're amazing
I love how you wore white nail polish
The oilbased one is used for lettering on glass and china

Sugaismyjam Army/Blink/Exo-l first off, YAAAS BEEBO
Second, she said "I have to have high hopes" while I was reading this XD
I didnt expect to read this in a pen video but im not mad
Good review! I like that she sticks to business and doesn't get all goofy like some of these reviewers. Thank you for that. Keep it real.
Oh my goooossshhh!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I’ve had four different types of gel pens, and they all are either, streaky, quick running out of ink, not opaque enough, or just not even work! Now I’ll kno for sure lmao
Funnily enough, I've been trying to find out what white pen to get for highlights haha xD Thanks! :D
Same, ahaha
Why not get a tube of white paint/gouache and a liner paint brush? Then add highlights with the brush. I'm sure there's a better chance at finding good opaque paint in a decent price range than a pen and you'd get more uses out of them!(My pens always dry up super fast even though i keep lids tightly on) :D
That's a good suggestion, but I am still not confident with paint outside of watercolor and I usually make very fine and small details which I usually mess up on with watercolor anyway haha. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind. :)
Garnet When making little white dots, toothpicks work as well, I've found 😂 just dipped it in gouache and boom
I have an oil based sharpie marker that are metallic and they work great!! Mine have a marker tip instead though..
I know this is a very old video, but if you get the Sakura Classic in a size 10, there is much less streaky-ness, and personally for me it shows up on all of my mediums (alcohol markers, watercolor, crayons, and brushlettering (usually with waterbased colors). I can also color over it with an alcohol marker and it looks fine, just a tad bit lighter.
Im actually so bored im watching a person compare *white pens*
yourgucci dad I don’t even draw
*same*
@ella conover dude *chill* out
@ella conover ok
ella conover I don’t think that’s their point. The original commenter just meant that they’re soooo bored that they’re watching someone swatch white pens (because they’re bored and look at this as interesting)
man I was really excited for this video and was not let down, I agree the signo is the best one to buy and ive been using it for a couple years now. I dont know if you knew this but there is actually a gelly roll bold which I could only find in packs on amazon for 6-8 dollars, but I think its definitely worth a try. The gelly roll bold is a lot more watery than the original gelly roll and the signo, you can actually wipe it off after a couple seconds and it almost disappears. The gelly roll bold is pretty good and I would use it over the original but not over the signo. I dont really like gelly rolls but theyre good if you run out of signos or smth.
Also it would be really cool to see you try out different paint markers! I will say though that in my experience the paint markers will be in a locked glass case in art stores so be prepared to converse with a store person for a while.
Also using paint markers and gel pens on water based markers is really different than alcohol based markers. I have some tombow water based markers and the whites really dont work well on a lot of them ESPECIALLY red. Both paint and gel pens seem to not work well on water based markers and I kinda recommend just getting opaque white in a small package as it will work on most if not everything!
sorry for such a long comment just putting my thoughts out there, also I wanna say I watched the whole minuet 30 ad bc it was gordon ramsay, maybe that will give you some money to buy the paint pens lol
**me not worrying about if they work on markers**
**realizes I’ll be using alcohol markers**
nice pfp B)
@@tsykas ty B)
Looking in stores, the only one I was able to find was the Uniball broad and was actually surprised with how well it worked but I was convinced there would be a better one out there that I couldn't get my hands on lol. This was helpful :)
Just here to possibly make you smile, I love your art, you're one of my biggest inspiration, art-wise & in general 💜
Hope you have a great day, keep making such great art & videos 🌈
(Even tho this video doesn't have a lot to do with artworks, thought this was something that had to be said 😊)
Successful, i'm smiley now. I also see your avatar. hehe ahh youre so nice!

So nice seeing you testing all the white pens out there! ☺️
I use the Signo Broad and it does its job 👍
Best white pen comparison I've seen! Thanks very much. You made my choice very easy without a lot of trial and error. We need more right-to-the-point, informative YT videos like this. Nicely done!!

Your swatching and testing are SOOOOOOO satisfying to watch lol. ❤👌🏾❤👌🏾❤✏🖍🖌📒
You can use a correction pen because it works well, it's cheap and it is so smooth
I also use the Sakura gelly ball pen too but the correction pen has more pigment 😁
So I recommend you to use a correction pen 👍👍👍
Love your channel 😍😍😘😘❤️❤️
thank you so much waffles for doing this! It was fun to watch you, and very informative also :-) at this point in my life, I just can’t afford to go buy a bunch of art supplies and try them out myself. So it’s really nice to kind of watch you test them and see how they work or don’t work
the uni-ball signo broad is my go-to white pen for everything...it's super opaque and smooth.
You can use correction pen too 😂😂 jk jk
That might actually work though 🤔
lmfao I did that a year ago
Delyn LOLZ Yes!!
@It’s Hailey omg i love her! she's so amazing
My friend use those. Lol
We could'nt find any white pens in our local store.
The raymay is a board marker. You use it on boards
great test. Gelli Roll also makes a pen called souffle that works much like the glaze. goes on clear, dries white. Love the Posca for bigger areas. It will reactive watercolor. Going over it a second time will brighten the marks. Thanks for an informative post.
