Oh my word, guys! This came in the mail! I'm so
excited. I have been looking at these on Amazon for months, debating on whether or
not I should get these... and whether or not I should get the small 15 set
or whatever or the large set. I felt like I would have fear of missing out on
all the other colors if I didn't just bite the bullet and get the big set. I
have never even used Posca Pens, so we're gonna try them. We're gonna open this up
and swatch it, and then draw with them for the first time! Isn't that exciting?!
Also, this is Dorvan's sweater (my husband), so that's that's why it's huge and
baggy if you were wondering. It comes with this little case! I'm so excited! Oh
my goodness... the inside of me is slowly dying, guys. Oh my word... look at this... look
at this... look at this... they wrapped each one individually.
I hate when art supplies are all wrapped individually like this. Takes forever to
open them, and I'm so (impatiently) excited. I want to use them! Ah! Look how cute these are! Oh
my goodness! Look at this! Okay... let's just open one of them. Let's open one...
Coincidentally, this is my absolute favorite color, so how fitting that I
drew this one out of the bag first! I just struggled for like five legit
minutes to open this, but here we go! So this is the tip, and you obviously have
to activate it by pressing down. Okay, I am gonna draw with these, but first, I
have to open a ton of markers and get the plastic off. This is gonna be quite
the process. Oooh, this purple one is so cute! Guys, let's have a swatch party! Oh
yeah! Alrighty guys, I got a little carried away when I made this video, and
you're gonna witness a couple drawings so, bear with me. Hold on. We're in for a fun
ride! But the first thing we're doing is
swatching everything, because obviously when you use a medium for the first time,
you want to know how it works before you just dive into something. I mean, I do... and
I'll be honest, when I swatched all these Posca Pens, they felt like pretty much like
any other paint marker pen that I've tried. They're pretty similar, but I was
very pleased with all of the colors. I especially liked the pinks, because I
use a lot of pinks and greens in my artwork. So it was nice to have a variety.
I was kind of afraid that I wouldn't like them, but I did. The next thing we
are drawing - a moth! I really like drawing butterflies and moths. I don't know why...
I'm going through this phase, but I'm enjoying every moment of it, so I decided,
"you know what? My first drawing should be a moth!"
Let's do this! I used those beautiful pink colors on the wings, and I was just
having the time of my life over here! Enjoying every moment... and it felt like I
was honestly doing a gouache painting, but the only difference was this
was a marker, not a paintbrush! And the marker tips aren't like the most
detailed tips I would say you could do more detail with a Copic marker for sure,
because the nib is like a brush nib this is more of like a bullet nib but that's
okay it didn't really bother me actually I think the nib is very fitting for like
the kind of artwork you would do with a paint pen (I purposely bought the larger nibs for rock painting and backgrounds). I feel like you kind of
need a sturdier nib for that anyway so I can't complain about that! But it would
be really cool if there was another nib on the other side that was like a fine
point if they could make that work! Yo Posca, if you're watching this video,
that'd be cool! A double-ended Posca Pen! Whoa, wicked! I did it all these pink
little polka dots on the wings. I did those giant teal dots on the wings... I did
more dots on the wings... I don't even know, somebody count the
dots on these wings! How many are there?! Oh, and there's dots in the middle of the
body! Well would you look at that? We have a theme going here.
Okay guys, another thing I have to talk about is this gold Posca Pen. And there's
a silver one.. and by the way, there is a white one, and the white shows up great!
You can't see it on a swatch page, so don't give me hash on that. Anyway, the
gold and silver are amazing! They're super reflective, and I was so happy I
put gold on the wings of this moth! And the white shows up amazingly, so I need
to tell my mom that, because she's looking for a white paint pen! So hey, Mom,
if you happen to watch this video, you should use this one! Yeah, my mom
decorates signs for a living (and works in a greenhouse), so she uses a lot of paint pens. Hmmm... did I just
find a birthday present for her? Maybe! Or Mother's Day comes before that.. so yeah I
might do that! That'd be great! Hh I'm gonna do that! I'm
so pumped! I definitely think I would give these like a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
The reason why I would say that is yeah I just wish that there would be a finer
point nib on the other end but I'm just being greedy (I wanted this size nib). I mean, I knew there was
only one end and I'm not going to complain, but also it would be so cool if
they had like a hundred colors. But no, really, these things are amazing... so aside
from me just being crazy, it could be five stars! I'm okay with that! The next
thing I drew was a person. I wanted to see how my style would change if I were
to illustrate a person, so that's what I did. I was very impressed with how
this went. You know, the skin tone thing kind of scared me a little, bit but there
is a skin cone... a skin TONE, not a skin cone... haha. What would that be? A skin tone for
Caucasians... a skin tone for darker skin... and I think
there's even one that would go really well for Asian skin. So perfect! I'm
very happy with that, and I can't wait to play around with it, because yeah... I think
I'm gonna get back into drawing people this year! I'm gonna push myself with
anatomy, and we're gonna roll with this! We're gonna improve! This sketchbook has
already been great for practicing certain things, so I can't wait to tease
you guys with a tour later! But that's all you get right now... Another thing I
really enjoyed with these paint pens are the fact that you can't quite blend with
them, so instead you have to rely on other methods for shading, such as
solid block shading, stippling, or hatching! You can even make up
other things if you want! And it looks so cool! It kind of has this pop art feel to
it in a way! Or making you be illustrative! It's so cool! I really
enjoyed it. I would say these are pretty high quality paint pens, because they
activated very quickly when I was swatching them, and once I got to drawing
and I colored in large areas... the paint kept flowing I didn't really have to
push down to reactivate it, which is a relief... Because I have used some other
ones in the past where you kind of have to do that, and then sometimes the
pen just floods on your paper, so then you have to activate it on other sheets
of paper... and it's a mess. But I didn't have to worry about that with these!
They're very well made, and yeah... I was really happy with that. Aside from that I
pretty much tried to stay in my fashion zone here... I did my little peter pan
collar! That was fun. The hair was really fun. I have been digging big hair lately!
So who knows what kind of hair I will draw this year
in my sketchbook, and in big projects! My goal this year is to try a lot of new
art supplies, and kind of hop out of my comfort zone as far as media goes. So
that means jumping more into oil painting, Posca Pens... stuff like that.
As for my drawings in general I want to draw things that scare me and pull me
out of my comfort zone, such as anatomy. But I also want to delve deeper into
projects that I'm really passionate about, such as drawing plants. I really
just want to go deeper with that, and work on a couple other projects that
I've had on my list for a while. So, I'm really excited! I'm really glad that I
just jumped into the year trying Posca Pens. I feel like it has made
me a lot more inspired and ready to tackle other things! So if you feel like
you're in a rut, maybe get a new art supply! Maybe that'll help you feel
really inspired, and you'll like it and make more stuff! Here this project is
done... let's look at more things, okay?! Hey guys! Tt is about three days later, and I
have still been playing with these Posca Pens! Loving it! I decorated a package
from my mom that I sent her after I finished this piece. I did a couple other
ones... so let me show you! Okay, so after the video, I also did this piece... and I
just thought it was fun to use a bunch of bold colors that I normally wouldn't
use! So and that's what this one is... and I go out a little order in my sketchbook,
because I know you guys have seen this one in a previous video! But anyway... I
also did this really fun illustration of Jaci Marie Smith. She is one of my favorite
YouTubers! She's really good friends with Aspyn and Parker, who I also really
like. She was wearing this cute coat in her Instagram story the other day, and I
was like, "oh my goodness! Gotta do this!" Her clothing is watercolor,
and then the background is Posca Pen. Not as exciting, but I was still excited
about it! I love these for backgrounds! I think it's great! I just wanted to show
you those real quick! Thumbs up to Posca Pens! I'm enjoying them! You'll
probably see more of those from me! Thanks for watching, guys! Bye!
