Thank a for this video it was super helpful. I mixed a really light green in in a nearly empty ivory body using a new ivory and a light green so now I have my mixed super light green and the original two colours. I would have use tossed the old ivory body so it nice to give it a second life

Sweet! I just bought 57 new poscas because JoAnn's (online only) had them for 50% off and I had 20% on top of that so they were $1.60 each.🥳🥳👏👏
I can't wait to make some custom colors. Thanks 💗

So glad to have come accross this video. I really need a tan coloured posca and didn't know what to do. Thank you!

[anitasmith]

Amazing!! Love these! If I can offer a little advice, you definitely don’t need to beat the nib of pen against something to prime it. You can gently push it down a few times and it will prime and be much easier on your nib. Thanks for your hard work. It’s appreciated

[saltlifegull]

He ROCKS! So helpful! Imp also that he's responsive to us with replies. QUESTION: I thought there were two types of Poscas, oil based and water based. Now I'm a bit confused. Bless you for helping us.

[SkillerZecharaScurlock-ybxn]

I know where I messed up. Posca IS the Acrylic and the other video was Vs. Oil Base. Blonde Moment. Sorry.

[bepo]

Awesome video! was curious if you know if its possible to refill or mix colors in the .7mm size PC-1MR?

I don't usually comment on anything much, but I just had to say thanks and give you some support.
Firstly, great to see someone else trying to mix POSCA pens. So good when you don't have the colour you want. You had some really good ideas - I particularly like the mug idea (ask me how I know!!!)
Secondly, a question. I've tried to do the same with the brush pens, cos I really like the brushes but they only come in 4 or 5 colours. Have you ever used the POSCA brushes? I can't seem to get them to come apart like the others.
Anyway - thanks.

Hey mate just wondering if you have tried refilling them with tube acrylic paint and some water or a medium to mix the paint with I've got heaps of acrylic tube paints. Also do you know roughly what the posca paint consistency is I'd love to do custom colours and try to get as close as i can to poscas paint consistency. Cheers

I had an art lesson yesterday at the selfie art gallery and I painted the car with rainbow surfboards on top.

Molotow has empty pens to mix up colors. Doesn’t posca have them? And is it an idea to use the empty molotow with posca ink or are their tips not good enough?

[LifeLostSoul]

I have tried twisting in both directions. Did they change the design of their new pens or something? Or is it just stuck on really tight?

I even got pliers and now the plastic is slightly damaged 🙃 but still functional


I have water brushes that also twist the opposite direction. I'm suspicious It's so that it's not as easy to take off concerning most people in the world are right-handed.

Hii I’m trying to paint my keycap on my keyboard but the black and white keep mixing up and getting dirty how do I fix this? Let it dry?

[tiriaq]

Thnx for the vid. I would really like to know if other people find the red color so weird from Posca. Not the hard deep red I'm used to from basically any other pencil. Or my supplier sells me fake ones :\ I have both the 3M and 1M

I got the 2 sets which make them about 50 in total

[AnastasiaBvrhwsn]

Can you refill the pens with common acrylic paints?

[heartsari]

Its so hard to get off the ink cap, my hands are always getting sweaty, and when they arent, its still very hard to take it off
