I must admit I find the Posca painting much more attracting to the eye. Perhaps it’s the extra attention to detail made easily with the use of the pens vs a brush and the added work that comes with that. Thank you for sharing! I’m definitely ordering some now.
Absolutely amazing video! Answered all my questions and doubts about Posca pens, what they are and how they compare to acrylic paint, and answered in great detail and from an artistic perspective and insight as well. And the icing on the cake, the actual paintings you (effortfully) made showcasing the strengths and beauties of both posca pens and acrylic paint, while also showcasing your incredible talent 🍒
Thanks for the video! I love that the paint pens can go anywhere and are easier to take out and just start working instead of taking all my paints out. I’m anxious to try combining them too, and using the paint pens for fine details over the top of an acrylic painted base. Super cool.
I like Posca pens better better. I have such problems with details and fine lines when I paint with acrylics and the pens make it easier for me. I also like the bright pop style they create. Both your paintings are so pretty tho!!
I love acrylic paint!!! I use paint pens (not posca as I'm poor lmao) to add details over the top. This way I can blend the acrylic and add fine details. I have a lot of """"expensive"""" and """professional""" pallets too! 🤣🤣🤣
terrific informative video thank you! do you know or have yo tried: to paint 360gsm art paper and/or canvases with Acrylic paint, and then do drawings over this with the posca pens and then laquer it all with varnish??
Hmm…thinking tube acrylic under-painting for plein air, on site sketching with the pens, then finishing in studio with both pens and regular paint. Seems fun! I really like your Posca picture! Graphically beautiful!
Thank you very much for your video! It helped a lot to make a decision. To stick to acrylics/gouache. I was about to buy a set of Posca pens because they are just used everywhere and they seem so easy to use. And all the setup and later cleaning when using acrylics is rather off-putting. I thought Posca pens might make the creative process more "barrier free". Put I think acrylics (or gouache for that matter) enable me more to make the art I want. So thank you for helping with the decision making process!
This was very good! I liked the Posca piece way more but you did cop out! I still don’t know which will be better for my project. I’m a digital artist, iPad, Wacom, those are my media and I sort of skipped the whole paint thing but now I want to challenge myself and do a piece on my electric guitar. I think I’ll go with the acrylic
Hello! I am about to paint my book edge with the posca pen. Do u think it will work? Does the color of posca pen keep smearing our fingers when it dries? Thankssss
Hi there, posca pens work on most surfaces, if its a more porus surface like wood it works better, but if its a more glossy surface like glass or metal it will benefit from a primer so it lays down better. (Primer is a benefit on whichever surface it is regardless) and if you’re worried about it smearing, I recommend a spray on varnish like krylon crystal clear or something like that. It will keep it protected for years :) good luck!
Why do my acrylics paint on cancas dont do coating? Like if i paint tha base color first thn draw leaves on it, the leaves are not that easier and pwrfect sharp to paint as u did. It feels sticky and wet. What to do? Please help
Hi im sorry, i dont quite understand exactly what you mean, i cant help without knowing more about the issues you’re getting.. is the paint going on see through? Or is it more the texture of the paint?
@@ScribbleFix i meant when i apply base color onto my canvas, thn draw a leaf or any other object over it, it gets watery and and is not smoothly applied like you do it on canvas . Is it bcz the base color paint doesnt get dry at first ?
Very cool comparison and you brought so many great points fir both!! Can you paint with regular acrylic in that background then paint the detailed subject over it....oh, ha! I was typing this as you were nearing the end of the video and you just answered it:) 👍👍
This was a v helpful review, thanks. I’m about to do a bigger piece (36” x 46”) and would like to know how the pens will blend on an acrylic painted canvas rather than a pen on pen piece like the one in video. Have you tried this yet?
Yes i know they are acrylic :) not all acrylic is equal though especially for blending, transparency and the delivery method, like paintbrush vs pen tip :) and yeah we still have Kmarts everywhere here in Australia! Its pretty popular
This is very helpful! I did a comparison between these two too on my channel :-) I had similar findings, but you mentioned so much more aspects that I hadn't thought of. And cool artworks - both have something special :-)
I think it is kinda funny you did not show how many different surfaces that it is easier to use the Poca or Paint pens on over brushes with regular paints. I like that there are paint pens or markers you can fill yourself and then you use the paint you already purchased! I have seen Posca markers filled but it is NOT an easy deal! I did enjoy your video and I kinda like that you did not pick a favorite and both are winners because you CAN use them both! Have a great day!
I'd rather use acrylic paints. Create more beautiful colors and no blobs. More control with my brush. (I'm not heavy handed.) The pens are what I call the lazy person's way. Instant gratification using less time. Lol!
No? I mean I accept that u like acrylic paints better but just because people prefer posca pens doesn’t mean they’re lazy, I like them better because when using them you can add more detail.

Thanks! I love how they both have their pros haha
The posca one reminds me of somthing you'd see in an old video game kinda like how its look came out
Thanks! 😊
“ Kinda like” is not English.
@@anonymousano3430it’s a short version of “kind of”
I think I like the posca pen one better, but they’re both cool

i think i'd prefer the effects with acrylic painting most overall but.... the posca painting you did is my fave of the 2.. its gorgeous and vibrant!
Thank you!! ☺️

Super Outstanding ❤❤👌love the Posca Pens!

Yes this video calls to me on all levels. Acrylics are my favorite number one medium. :)
Can use the acrylic paint to refill your posca markers if you mix it with water or a medium
Posca Pens win here - much more lively!
I love your posca art and l think I like posca pens
Thanks!
I do painting by numbers with posca in a magazine edition and the result is great!
That sounds awesome!
Love the Posca painting. They are both very nice, but it’s a clear winner for me. Thanx for sharing. 🥰
Great video, my only concern for Posca is if they are archival or not in the long run.
Both are beautiful. To me, the Posca Pens are better. Nice video.

I like using markers and acrylic paint together.
I use markers for fine details on my paintings.

Posca is more detailed and attractive to look. It may be costly though but it's definitely worth it.
my only problem with poscas is when they sometimes release blobs of paint at time, other thgan that i love them 😀
Yeah thats true
Soooo beautiful would love to have that talent!
You deserve more likes
Thank you! :)
Ikr I love the vids girl keep it up!

One question. What is acrylic paint?
what sized posca pen was the first you used?
But what can you use as for a sealer for posca markers?
Thank you for the video! Which sketchbooks have you liked for Posca use?
I definitely think watercolour sketchbooks are best as the strong paper seems to hold up best :)
POSCA pens wins this round. Thx. Good video.
Thanks!
Your a Lefty like me :) I also love Posca pens.Thanks for creating this great video.
Thanks for watching, yay lefties!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool comparison and you brought so many great points fir both!! Can you paint with regular acrylic in that background then paint the detailed subject over it....oh, ha! I was typing this as you were nearing the end of the video and you just answered it:) 👍👍
I also asked about that. Can't find it...
I just started using the Artistro acrylic pens over my acrylic paintings to add fine lines and details. I love them!
I'm not really good with acrylic paint so I think posca pens are better for me that's my opinion because I'm not good using acrylic paint
Yeah they’re definitely great for beginners thats for sure :)
When you used the posca pens again did the canvas make the pens drain out?
Nope :) the canvas isn’t absorbent
@@ScribbleFix Ok Thank you!
Is it possible to combine both? For example: using Acrylic for the background and Posca above?
Yes :) you can get amazing results with that combination!
Tnx😘
This was a v helpful review, thanks. I’m about to do a bigger piece (36” x 46”) and would like to know how the pens will blend on an acrylic painted canvas rather than a pen on pen piece like the one in video. Have you tried this yet?
Using the pens over the top of acrylic? Its worked pretty well in my experience
I like the posca pen one the best. Both look great though.
Thanks! :)
@@ScribbleFix You're welcome
I like the pen one the best.
I like the Posca effect better however if you use it as a background color ... that's a whole lot of expensive posca..... yikes :D
I could tell you were Australian Australian you said you got those canvases from kmart
😍💞💖💗💕❤️
Maravilloso, realmente muy talentosa
These are my ne favs 😍
❤️
I luv that australian accent :D
Haha thank you!
Posca is best
I do love posca
I know im super late but… Posca pens ARE acrylic paint lol. This feels more like marker versus tube.
(Also wow! Kmart’s still around???)
Yes i know they are acrylic :) not all acrylic is equal though especially for blending, transparency and the delivery method, like paintbrush vs pen tip :) and yeah we still have Kmarts everywhere here in Australia! Its pretty popular
I think poska is better,but Acrylic is painting is so nice
Thanks :)
Loved the video, both artworks looked amazing!
Thank you!
I really love both cutie
Thanks :)
@@ScribbleFix your welcome
I love matt finish.
Gloss finish looks tacky to me.
Kmart still exists??
There are 323 kmart stores operating throughout Australia and New Zealand. 😊
You know podcasts pens blend easy w water
Nice!
This is very helpful! I did a comparison between these two too on my channel :-) I had similar findings, but you mentioned so much more aspects that I hadn't thought of. And cool artworks - both have something special :-)
You're using canvas, on watercolor paper it's a much different experience.
That is very true
if you dont like the colours you can just fill the pens with your own
Thats true
I use Posca as marker only
Poscas better
The video was good but the background music was really irritating.
Sorry to hear that. I will keep that in mind for other videos
I feel like I get better coverage with acrylic paint than with posca pens.
Yeah sometimes they can be a little patchy, i find shaking up the pen A LOT helps because sometimes the paint can separate
Posca pens dry out fast ,so I have to fill them up with paint
That’s a great idea, makes them reusable :)
yeah but posca pens dont seam to blend for me...
Yeah I agree
Pls a pen
Posca pens are expensive they're like 50 a pack
Who are you
There is no pokemon
Sarah, you still there??
Btw thw artworks are amazing as always
Hahaha don’t worry epic Pokémon art is coming soon!
@@ScribbleFix ohh, okays, it is you

Is the irritating hurdy-girdy background 'music' necessary?
Yes
I get that she is trying to warn people out there, but this is an opinion, and the video feels pretty biased
I use both pretty often though
