Poscas can give you a bit of a hard time in the beginning, but once you get the hang of them, things become more and more fun. I´m still struggling not to scratch the paper with the nib, any advice is more than welcome!
¡Estupendo! ¿Qué tipo de papel has estado usando? Es para comparar con los míos. Yo no estoy en el curso y estaba echando un ojo a los proyectos para animarme a comprarlo, pero sí que he usado Poscas sobre papeles gruesos y cartón y sin problemas.
Hey! Awesome work!!!
I have the same problem here! The paper is not grainy and tiny pices of paper fiber begun to ruin my nib and paint. Maybe is a substance in some kind of papers? hope to finish this awesome course with that problem resolved.
Hi Priscila!
These are spectularrrr. You've got such a skill for picking the colour palettes for each one of these, and your designs are full of life and character. I am obsessed with these cats!
As for specific pen advice, some pens are more friendly than others to use, I've found, but even if you are having trouble, it doesn't show in the final results. The paper scratching can be a problem for thinner nibbed pens if there's not a lot of paint on the nib, so I usually give the pen a good shake and re-fill the nib carefully until it's got a smooth flow on the page. But for some of the larger nibs, there can be small grains that leave little bits on the page, but I don't believe that's an issue with the paper, it's just dried ink that's coming out of the larger nibs (3M and bigger).
Oh and also with the 3M nibs, I've found that some colours are a bit see-though on the page (Khaki green and Navy Blue especially) so I usually put a few layers of the same colour til it looks as even as the others do.
Hi, really nice work! I have had the same problem, with the paper pilling. But I recently tried some Molotow All4One paper which worked better than anything else I have tried.
Best wishes,
Petra
@rubenpires Hey let me know if you solve that issue with paper! I find out that poscas works fine in moleskine sketchbooks, I don´t know why, but they look awesome!
Btw thanks, I´m glad you like my work 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@jameschapman
Hey!! Thank you so much, I´m so glad you like my work!!!
I´ve been in love with poscas since I took this course. I really appreciate the advice it´ll be pretty usefull for my upcoming work 🙌🏼
@pog_orozco para lettering uso cualquier papel, incluso folios de oficina. La tinta es lo bastante líquida y seca rápido como para poder usarse en cualquier superficie sin problemas. Incluso lo he usado para regalos en cristal y en mi curro les hacía los protectores del café personalizados a los amigos y eran de cartón.
@pog_orozco Hey, Estou à espera de um caderno que mandei vir de Inglaterra, dizem que foi feito mesmo para as poscas. Obrigado pela dica, vou comprar um moleskin pra experimentar.
