 Hey everybody, welcome back to the average today I thought what I would do is that I'm going to test out these bad boys So stick around if you want to see how these are these are acrylic paint pens So they're sort of similar to Posca pens so a lot of people using them So I started to think I want to try those because I really like Posca pens So maybe I'll like the ways that these work and they have like some really nice colors going on I'm gonna be honest. I've already tried out most of these. I've done a little swatch test Here so as you can see it is pretty opaque and they go over each other very well I left one of the paint pens not used I haven't used so I could show you how easy it is to get them going because something that I found with Posca pens is that They take a little time to get going. I don't know if that's just me But it's been the case a few times so this one is like as you can see it's white the paint has not come through yet and Then you just do the pump the pumpy thing that people do in paint pens and it's already come through They've got some nice colors. I really like shock blue and magenta Shockingly and the turquoise one came out quite nice I do really like the like gray blue and this one obviously I haven't used before this is called poison green It's pretty handy because they have all the names just on the lids here They also have the instructions on how to open them They also have an indicator of how full each of these are so you can see when you're running out because a handy thing about these is That they are refillable. So they're refillable. They're semi gloss highly opaque permanent good UV resistance quick drying For nearly all services it says with an asterix. So I guess most services it means 50 color shades So they have 50 shades of these and Exchangeable tips pretty cool. They're mixable compatible with all for one acrylic spray paint pretty cool Yeah, so I just think these are really nice And I've been obviously testing them out a little bit and I think that they're just really easy to use and quite precise I know that the Posca pens are really good as well But these I think they're about the same price, but I think these are just I don't know I just prefer them. I think the colors are nicer. There's more of a range of colors So that's my opinion obviously you guys can make up your own mind about them. Obviously this video is not sponsored I saw these and I thought this is the kind of art style that I wanted to head in the direction of after having Week of kind of exploring different art had like quite an inspiring week of art And I've just been doing like loads of different things So just experimenting and going for it. It's been quite a good time And I saw these pens and I thought yep I want to try them only thing that I will say that is to these pens detriment is they do take a little time to dry So I'm gonna have to be patient. I'm not really a very patient person I've got some different types of paper here that I want to just try swatching on to see how the paint pens handle it because Obviously these are made for different types of objects. So you can pretty much paint on anything with them as it said So I've got these different papers. I've got just a normal really thin paper Cardstock paper and some tracing paper. I would say it does leave a little bit of texture I'm not sure if it's from the pen or if it's picking up granules of the paper I think it might be a combination of the both So on the card it layers quite nicely I don't know if you can see because it is quite hard to see it But it does kind of pick up the paper a little bit leave a little bit of a texture Which is fine and we'll try it on these really thin paper. Yeah, that's fine And now I'm gonna try it on the tracing paper and so far that is the smoothest outcome I really like the way they look on the tracing paper. If you're new to my channel You probably won't know but if you're an old school Averager, I don't know what I'm saying Then you'll know that I'm a big fan of tracing paper because I've used it a lot in mixed media stuff And I like using it depends what you're the look you're going for. You can see it kind of works quite nicely on paper It does pick up a lot. What I'm interested in is to know if it layers well Because what I have planned today, I want to layer a lot of paints on top of each other So we're gonna have to see if that works out. What I've done is I've drawn a little sketch here on my paper This is watercolor paper and I thought I would try this out. Obviously. It's a little bit too fee So that is probably not gonna help but we'll see maybe it will help Maybe it won't but what I've drawn here is a game that I would love to play because of all this e3 stuff coming out I was like thinking of different Things that I could make different games So I was drawing a lot in my sketchbook I had one called tingle smash because I don't know if you know the Zuldy universe But there's this character called tingle and it's kind of a family joke that we all hate tingle I say family me and my brother Yes, I just thought that would be funny And then I thought I would do a pesto puzzler game because I really like puzzle games with bubbles But then I settled on bath house simulator, I thought that'd be quite fun to do so I have this sketch and What my main concerns are is that I've used a graphite pencil and I'm not sure how the Paint pens will react to it. So I think I'm gonna do a little bit of a quick test and just try it out Okay, let's go Okay, it's kind of mixing with it which I think is fair That's fair I see you, but yeah, I think I think it'll be all right. Yeah, I think it'll work So what I want to do is do the light colors first and then the darker colors afterwards because that just makes sense Even though they are really opaque. I'm not sure how well they layer yet. So this is a good first test I want to make the cartridge of the game. I wanted to make it pink So we're gonna go with the fuchsia pink the lighter paint because I think that it will work better I do know that recently ScrawlrBox because I saw a few youtubers doing the ScrawlrBox They put in a Molotow chrome pen and that looked really cool So I was really excited to try these after that because I only saw that those videos after I am purchased these So let's go in with the fuchsia pink because I really like pink game cartridges Shockingly a big fan of pink. I'm gonna rub this out of it actually. I Don't want to pick up all the lines, but just a little bit to help not have it too What am I saying? I'm sorry guys. It's really early. I've had my coffee, but you know, I can't speak which is great Thanks for watching. I just want to pick up some of the lines So it doesn't mix too much with paints is what I'm trying to say Thank you brain for finally providing me with that information. So yeah, like I said, this would be a game I would love to play obviously this is the bath house from spirited away and if you play like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley, I was kind of thinking it would be a great game to have that kind of same kind of theme But with a bath house, so you have to build your bath house from the bottom up So you start out with like a really basic Bathhouse and trying to get the clients in and then you upgrade to like better baths and better like staff and yeah I thought it'd be fun so if anybody's good at making games can we Help me out here and make it for me because I can't make games. I wish I could but that would be awesome So this is bath house simulator. Yeah, we're getting a lot of Flakage is what I'm going to describe it as and I don't actually think it's coming from the tip of the pen I think it's actually coming from the paper. That's being pulled up So I think obviously I've used the wrong type of papers guys Don't use what kind of paper and that's probably a big duh for a lot of you But this is new to me. Okay guys. I haven't used these pens before I Think next time I'm gonna buy The bigger ones overall the color laid down quite nicely But I think there is a lot of flakage You can just dust it off. I'm not gonna do it now because I've got to wait for the paint to dry I'm not sure how long it will take to dry fully. That's the only thing because I'm unfamiliar with it But it seems to be pretty dry here It's much drier so it doesn't take that long to dry But it is something to be aware of as you try it out because you don't want to smudge everything I'm gonna go with shock blue for the sky. What I'm gonna do is just do some clouds though So because you know in in spirited away, they have like lots of clouds coming out like that I'm not sure if I want to rub out more pencil I don't know if you can see that but some of the pencil is showing through But I kind of like that because then it gives me a guide of where I'm gonna lay down darker colors I think I'm gonna leave it and just learn for next time if it doesn't look good Okay, so I think because obviously we have limited colors The bath house is red and green and then red and brown. So what I'm gonna do is use This pink for brown, maybe or the bright yellow And then I'm gonna use This color for the bath house the slightly darker pink The red bits and then this for the green bits because it's green everybody This is hard because I don't know where to begin and if you know, I make a mistake I think what I can do is just go over it in theory because these are Supposed to be super opaque. Okay. I think the finer details are quite hard to do with this size of pen I think they come in a smaller size. These are two millimeters by the way, would you guys play this game? I know I would spirited away. It's probably one of my favorite films. Definitely my favorite Ghibli film I don't care if that makes me a basic bee just to Just is just think I really like the world Which is weird because I don't think I really like Alice in Wonderland that much and it's kind of a very similar story, isn't it? If I were getting whisked away to a Fantasyland that's a bit bizarre and I think what I really like overall is the character development in that film as well I just like it. I like that movie a lot. I'm not sure how accurate this drawing is, but I'm enjoying it I think that looks quite interesting What do you guys think? I'm gonna wait for it to dry a little bit first because I don't want to be spurned Let's try the green on the top composition I just want to be cool like this kind of game cover to hint at the bathhouse I think it would be cool to keep this artwork without line But I also think it might need the line work. Let's see once I finished coloring this in how that will work I think that this green is the least opaque so far But going over it kind of works. I'm gonna use this purple violet to line this building and I'm gonna use it for the windows and stuff as well because actually, oh, you know what? No I'm gonna color the windows in with this blue first because they would be reflecting the light on the outside, right? And then I'm gonna go in with that purple Do you guys have any of you use these pens before? And I'm just super late to the party or you know, what's going on? Tell me your story. Okay. I didn't color these bits in Now I'm gonna use this as the dark browns. I went in too quick See it. I told you guys that's what was gonna happen because I have zero patience and now I've done this I didn't even realize how much my hands were picking up paint as well. That was a good lesson to learn That's what I keep saying guys because it makes me feel better and doesn't make me cry. Where was I? Okay? Yeah, we're going back in with this Scary I think as well I was I had the intention to line everything But I think I'm just gonna line bits and bobs. You know what? I'm gonna do the outline with this color I kind of just went for that then and Didn't think that through but there we go. It's giving a bit of shine to some of the windows This is white. I know that so This needs to be pink underneath I think I'll use because I was gonna use gray for the pipe here But I think I'm gonna use pink to just keep I mean I can make it pink and then go over it if it looks too weird Does that work? Maybe if I outline the top or something? Kind of blends in too much for the background. It just looks like something that should be in the background So I use the light gray Once it's dried a bit I'm worried about doing the Hypography because I think that's where it's all gonna go wrong. Yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it white and then use the green on the On the typography actually, let's do a quick hands check. Yeah, my hands are fine Not covered in paint like before. I think I have a cool thing is If I do make a mistake then when I if I did the outline of the label if I did the label background a different color Then I could just go over it I mean I don't want to do that because I like how it looks now with the white But you know if it was the last resort we have that to Resort to okay, and I'm just gonna go outline the The game this needs to be great Kind of looks nice. I need to go over here, but I'm not sure if that's dry. So what we'll do is we'll do the out the What am I saying? The outline here, not sure how straight that was but whatever Okay, yeah, let's just go for it guys Let's say let's go for it guys like we're on a team and you you're here with me But you're not here with me You're just adding a few details to the game cartridge because oh no my hand touch paint. You definitely touch work pain Okay, only a little bit Isn't it satisfying when you draw a straight line and it just works out Not like that. That's the complete opposite of what I meant. Okay, I should probably should have drawn that Clean my camera died just as I made a mistake And I think what I'm gonna do instead of trying to fix it and making the line really thick I'll just leave it because maybe it's quite interesting visually anyway that mistake. That's what I'm gonna say Okay, I think I'm gonna leave it at that and not do anything else to this piece because I think it looks really cool And I don't want to ruin it because sometimes you know when you you don't know when to stop Basically, and I think I know when to stop right now and it's gonna be now. So overall I think these paint pens are pretty awesome I really like the results that they give me. Yeah, they give a little bit of paint paper picking up a nurse. I Don't know the term you guys will tell me I'm sure and Yeah, I'm probably gonna try and buy some more different colors I definitely saw like a pastel set which I'm very intrigued about and I'm here for that's it guys Thanks for watching. Tell me what you think about the art today And let me know if you've used these pens before I'm interested to hear if anyone has because they're a pretty new thing for me to find I Probably that sounds pretty dumb to some people who know the art items quite well, but some people don't know stuff Okay, so yeah, um, thanks for watching guys. I will see you next time I was gonna say please I can subscribe, but I'm pretty tired of saying that and you know, do what you want Okay, thank you. Bye
