E_B_A Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I hate these threads just as much as the rest of you. I DID check and couldn't find an answer to this question and it's real specific. I already have a good assortment of markers I use and am happy with but if there's something better out there, I'm always willing to try it. Before I put down some money on an expensive ($15) set of paint pens, I just wondered something about it. I've used Decocolors and had problems with them sticking to the other pages in my book and rubbing off on the covers really easy. Anyone used Sharpie paint pens to know if they don't stick to the other pages? Simple question. Like I said, I searched and couldn't find an answer to this one so if the admins want to delete it, just post a link to the answer before you shut it down (if it has actually been posted before). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
life WDS Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 sharpie paint markers suck, i used em, and for me they stuck to my pages, and they were to watery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchitect Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Use markers. Using paint pens for blackbook work is a waste unless you are using a white one to make highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_B_A Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Thanks for the help. You guys just saved me money. Course if they weren't in that big-ass package, I'd have racked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyea Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 ever since i started using decos i havent been able to put them down. i love them shits. but yeah they do be stickin a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_B_A Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 They do make white decos in both fat and thin sizes but like I said... problems with the sticking and rubbing off for me. However, I have neither of those problems with Zig white opaqing markers which come in a fine point size about the width of a mechanical pencil lead on up to big-ass chisel tips. I found mine at Michaels. I also use Elmers paint pens which come in two sizes and cover nicely without any rubbing off or sticking. Those are the two I highly recommend.

saga1TMPsf Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 surprisingly elmers aint pens are highly permenant, i would also recommend for highlights a white "gel" pen, you can get em at any art supply store/ craft store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILE_ATX Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 at most art stores (michaels) decos are sold individually so you can rack em easy, but just use like prsimas or somethin for blackbooks you dont need paint markers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentone Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 prisma colors are nice for sketching. and i use decos for highlights. sliver sharpies are also nice for highlights. i like them more cuz they don't stick at all. but they aren't white.

E_B_A Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Heh... I use Sharpies and Prismas plus the Bic permanent marker set has gotten nice and blends well with the Sharpies. I use Elmer's paint markers and tons of little shits here and there like Zig's for hilights and metallics. Just to answer the question, I use paint markers on the cover of my blackbook, to go over shit like halos over complex backgrounds, drawing on shit I pasted into my blackbook and lots of shit like that.

E_B_A Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Also: copics... can't find them shits anywhere in town. Gonna have to order them bastards off the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 copics are the shit but until you absolutely know what your doing then i would say sticking to what you usually use or cheap ass markers until you get the technique completely down. cuz copics are like 5-6 bucks a pen and they are worth the money but theres no point on buying expensive markers when you dont know what your doing.remember the pens dont make the writer,you could bust a dope ass piece with cryola,sharpies,etc.i mean prismas are dope but you should really progress with shitty markers first then go out and buy/rack high price markers.i know a dope ass writer who kills with copics but thats because he knows what hes doing,and im pretty sure he can still make a pretty sick piece with cheap markers. but yeah you should've just post a comment in a marker thread or something cause there is a very similar theard in the cross fire forum.but hey what do i know??haha ill post some of my shit in a lil bit aloha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 sharpies and reg.pen the backround is paint pens sharpies top part is paint pen all sharpies got more shit these are all for battles in the battle thread just giving an example on how sharpies can look just as good as them expensive shit i'll try post some flix of the guy i was talkin about who kills with copics remember i never said i was the best im just trynna use the sharpies until i get it on lock down every writer has his or her own choice in pens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_B_A Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well, the original point was something very specific but somehow it evolved into a general discussion about markers but I feel you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
led junkie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Poscas are the best pant markers 4 sheezy you can even make your own colours if your clever non fade no mess try undercoating the paper first with an acrylic paint first so the paper dose not get all stuck on the nibs.
