*~ DIY Coloured Ink Brush Pens! ~*

[@AudraAuclair]

The Pentel Brush pen cartridges are so small, I've gone through about 40 of those things. Thank you so much for this because I've been wanting to find something that is less wasteful but similar.

[@JellieBee]

Jennalee Auclair Ah its no problem at all :) The Aquash brush tip is very similar so I was really geeking out when I got it! Its not as pretty but you're so right, those cartridges are ridiculously small. Thank god it wasn't just me going through them that fast!

[@DaniFrostDragon]

+Jellie Bee I just got one and just ran out of my first cartridge. I use SO many lines in the hair which uses SO much ink its insane.

[@amyyi4946]

How long does one last ( one cartridge)

[@MrBrowni234]

you could also fill the same cartridge with standard india ink and it'll work fine hahA

[@livp1063]

Audra Auclair really? For me it has lasted such a long time. I haven't even finished the first cartridge and I've had it for about 3 months

[@Alexia-qm6lx]

Onetime i was so desperate that i used a cheap eyeliner😂 Worked fine for me😂

[@violet2369]

+Alexia De Norre actually that's pretty cool lol

[@mikaelas9411]

+Violet is that a bean I see in your pfp?

[@violet2369]

mikaela s a very special magic bean

[@mikaelas9411]

+Violet I like that bean

[@violet2369]

+mikaela s I pick the best beans to like, he's one of them

[@Creaturiste]

I've been refilling my Pentel Brush Pen for years with a syringe. It's much cleaner for carrying around than those water brushes, which often leak within the cap. I bought just one package of 4 extra cartridges. I haven't been using the empties that much, as I just refill those in the pen. But someday I'll figure out a way to seal the refills so I can carry them around. Either with wax, or hot glue. Pentel's brush pen is the only fine brush that I've ever tried that can last more than a year of very careful use without losing it's sharpness. I have two right now, purchased years apart, and I cannot tell which one is older. Considering its great tips and durability, the higher cost is not an issue, it means savings in money, time and patience!

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

The crayola marker maker is also awesome for making your own markers. Just substitute the inks that come with the maker with DW, Pebeo, or Indian inks.

[@greenpuppy54]

I recently bought a kuretake no. 8 fountain brush pen and instantly fell in love with it. I've been looking for a similar brush option to use with brown ink or sepia ink. This is the perfect solution for me. ♥

[@spinningdownunder]

Rather than spending a fortune going through Amazon or an art supply store, you can buy these Pentel Aquash for about GBP2 for a set of 3 from China if you look on Ebay. That gives you a small, medium and large (not broad). Then you refill them either with watercolours, or fountain pen ink. I refill ink cartridges with a diabetics hypodermic needle using fountain pen ink simply because I cannot get the art supplies I want where I live in Australia.

[@Craftsworldsocial]

you know you can fill up the cartridges in the pentel brush pen with any fountain pen ink. It costs like 10$ for a whole bottle as opposed to 5 little cartridges.

[@JellieBee]

Ooooh how would that work, just with syringe? That would make me feel much better because I hate wastage like plastic.

[@Craftsworldsocial]

Jellie Bee yeah I just use a non pointy syringe and it fills it - or you can use a dropper both work

[@lesliehowells]

What a great idea! Thank you for posting. I'm wondering whether folks are having clogging issues when using water-proof, as opposed to water-based, inks. I'd love to make a range of grays.

[@Vexx]

Great tips Jellie Bee ! I love your videos !

[@JellieBee]

Vexx Thank you ;u;

[@MonsterMaker]

I have a range of the Pentel colour brushes, but I love making up my own because then you get to mix your own custom colours! If you want something thats 100% water and copic proof, indian or acrylic inks are great for this. Thanks for sharing this video, I'm sure a lot of people will find this so useful as sometimes brush pens are hard to get or too expensive (especially when not living in America!)

[@JellieBee]

Yes I 10000% want to use acrylic inks in one of these some day too! I love acrylic inks :)

[@QueenWaspGo]

The pentel color brush can release more ink if you squeeze it like a water brush. Also when you first break the seal you're supposed to hold it or store it cap side down to get the ink flowing.

[@GeekeryMade]

I think the thing I like the best about this idea is it lets you mix your own colors up as well, so you can have completely custom pens. And there are a couple places that you can buy them in bulk if you want a whole set.

[@JellieBee]

+Geekery Made Oh totally! Customised colours are a great idea!

[@Echo-Of-Noise]

the kuretake zig clean color brushes can be refilled. you just have to take the plastic part that holds the nib off and add ink with a syringe or an eyedropper so it is absorbed by the little tube inside (like the ones inside markers). it is really easy to do, and because the tips are bristles instead of a felt tip it wont fray as easily .

[@sugarsweetdeath]

Ive found that you can even just refill the pentel ink cartridge with a pipette with what ever ink you want. I refilled mine with Higgins black magic and I've had no problem with any drying in the tube or anything. Just an easy way to save yourself some money over buying new cartridges since you get multiple refills for a bottle over the ridiculous price for the official refills.

[@dragonsong86]

I love doing this, but I have run into a couple small issues. I've used Higgins inks, and they do clog the brush from time to time. Just gotta strip em down and clean em out, but it's pretty annoying. Also I've noticed that if I have them in a hot car, even for a short time, I have to rush them to the nearest sink and do some first aid, because the ink leaks out into the cap.

[@wolfsf2012]

dragonsong86 idk if you’ll see this or not but is the ink, Indian ink? Because I have a cheap water brush (from eBay but it leaks a bit trying to find a new one) and if I didn’t use it regularly, I had Indian ink in there, it would clog up and not run right after the unclogging. But she did say fountain/pen ink and that’s not suppose to clog up?

[@JennaDrawing]

So helpful, thank you! I can't wait to start trying brush pens! :3

[@natalievackova6082]

this is so cool!!! you could also mix inks to get different shades which is nice

[@emmadaye_art5491]

Can you fill the water pens with Dr. PH Martins inks and liquid color?

[@anm-zq5my]

They have videos on how you can refill the pentel brush pen with your own ink.I have the same problem with pens.That's one reason i love copics so much lol.Great video by the way! I'm going to need to try that out!

[@JellieBee]

@Shi poo (no enabled replies!) I literally don't know how I never thought of this before, but no-one ever suggested it to me either so there you go, hidden in plain sight ;)

[@edgarthepug9787]

"Hidden in plain sight" just like the ketchup in my fridge

[@bluemas9142]

+Jellie Bee why do you say no rplyies?

[@redinsistor6031]

+Blue Mas because she couldnt rely.

[@AnaCrisisBlu]

I believe your pentel aquash is the small size because the cap is blue. Mine is medium size and the cap is clear, and I think the bigger size's cap is also blue, but the brush is definetly bigger than yours.

[@JellieBee]

Happy Kappa Thank you! That's very helpful :)

[@Grimmykin]

Kuretake may be a Japanese brand, but they have an English distribution centre (located in my town), so you can order from their entire range. Not to mention they often have sales and offer discount cards, I have an unlimited 10% off card. They offer refill bottles for most of their brush markers.

[@JellieBee]

that's amazing! ! I'll have to look into that!

[@614clare]

As far as I'm aware you can actually get three different sizes in the Pentel brush, but I'm not sure if they're all only available in a set or seperately! Thanks so much for sharing this with us :)

[@JellieBee]

Clare614 Yeah I just realised :'D Need to edit it. I don't remember having a choice at the time and thought that the three pack had all the same size in because of that? Idk, the size I got was perfect haha

[@614clare]

Was it the medium Pentel brush that you got? They sell them pretty cheap on eBay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Japan-Pentel-Aquash-Water-Brush-medium-point-Compact-Body-watercolor-brush-/281188598670?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item417825838e

[@JellieBee]

Clare614 OMG ITS A TINY ONE IT'S SO CUUUUTE. I can't find my order with Cult Pens so idk, could have been a Fine?? hahahaha

[@614clare]

Oh I didn't realise it was so tiny haha! The size might be in the email they sent you?

[@JellieBee]

I can't even find the email haha, I think it'll be on PayPal somewhere

[@sodasprouts]

What you could do with the Pentel is just remove the ink cartridge and put it somewhere safe, then wash off the tip and use you're own watercolors with it! I recommend the Koi field sketch watercolor kit. ^^

[@lifeasamanda4516]

I would turn them into copic makers 😂

[@kyu8794]

Aha ur amazing lol!

[@sarahfaulkner5045]

that's a very good idea... im considering doing that now

[@sarahfaulkner5045]

waterbrushes by sakura on block run less than 5$, and just use a copic refill, and these don't tale long at all to fill. we've cheated the system. his have to label the brushes to, if you're anything like me... I'm planning to do this now... TO DICK BLICK

[@sarahfaulkner5045]

+Sarah Faulkner my tablet doesn't like me using correct grammar... sorry

[@amyyi4946]

+Sarah Faulkner after you try it, does it work?!

[@dudediva69]

have you tried to put ink back in to the empty cartridge with a syringe .... i tried it with left over inkjet refill ... worked nice...

[@sk3ch1]

I've filled my pentel brush pen with Windsor & Newton black Indian ink, which seems to work really well, I used a thin pipet. 😊

[@shallremainnameless1998]

Great video. Good idea making your own brushes. Cult Pens is my favourite pen site too and I love that you can get the Zig Clean Colour as open stock. However, I have found Kuretake water brushes slightly cheaper on a site called Tiger Pens, also a UK site (no connection). They don't do the Clean Colour brush pens though so ended up spending more as ordered from both sites☺.

[@D.S.Moon98]

if you go on Amazon they sell the pentel squash empty. they even sell them in sets with different sizes. I have used other water brushes too, and they tend to feel sloth cheaper than the pentel's. if you can't find it, try searching for pentel water brush.

[@Grey-ry2sc]

Pental aquash brushes comes in 3 different sizes which are small, medium and large. And you can buy them in UK. You can get them from art stores. 😊

[@theello1377]

Thats so interesting! My local art shop sells brushpens as brushes to you fill ink into and not to put water inside so i always assumed a lot of people were doing that... (i have made myself a dark grey and a blue one a while ago and i haven't had to refill it yet :) )

[@o0oMemorieso0o]

It literally says on the package that you can put water.ink or paint in it so how did it just occur to you omg

[@non-cg3rf]

shi poo she replied to you

[@Littleredkk]

This is such a great idea! I would have never thought of trying that either. XD Thanks for yet another awesome idea, Jellie Bee! :)

[@JellieBee]

Littleredkk It seems like such an obvious thing to do, too haha. Thank you!

[@doveandpear]

I have dozens of water brushes and have really wanted to see if I could get away with filling 'em up with Copic refill ink. You've given me courage to think harder on it :P

[@JellieBee]

+Julie In Jammies It might not work too well as the ink is different - Copics use a felt nib :)

[@gigglls67]

I stumbled upon your video and I fell in love with your beautiful art you drew. I saw it was sold out (frowning & pouting). I think if you made this image as a stamp, it would be sold out all the time! I know you sold it as a original, but wondering could I commission you to do this image (with different colors) ? If so, how much would it cost? I'm glad I found you, cuz you are very talented! Have a great day!

[@peybak]

Thanks for the video. There is a way around buying cartridges for brush pen, I think. At least for Kuretake pens, there is something called Platinum Fountain Pen Converter that's basically a refillable cartridge. It has a suction action that you dip in ink and so on. Worth looking into...

[@JellieBee]

+peybak Oh thanks! I'd heard of that actually, but never looked into it :D

[@ArtemisApollo26]

Have you considered getting an ink syringe to refill the cartridges of the Pentel brush pen with fountain pen ink? I haven't tried this yet, but I definitely will when I finish the cartridge.

[@JellieBee]

+Dina Gutierrez Got one now!

[@autumnmoore4380]

that intro was the cutest thing

[@JellieBee]

+Autumn Moore Aww thanks haha

[@tomatone8460]

vids about art maetrials satisfies me a lot.. thank you for this :) I didn't get the answer I was looking for but I found satisfaction ~

[@serenasheppard1305]

The pentel auquash comes In three sizes I purchased a three pack from Amazon! It looks like you have the smallest size there is also a medium and large☺️

[@bb-sophia]

I've seen the fill-able brushes in the U.S. in Patcatans! (Just saying for those in the U.S. Looking for similar brushes) I never bought them, but was thinking of them.

[@alternanarchivist]

If you squeeze the pentel color brush, more ink flows to the nib, similar to the aquash brushes

[@SarahRickardOtterRocksArt]

Excellent! I was given a water brush ans havent used it yet! Im giving this a go, though its a pretty thick tipped one.

[@nokiot9]

Look up "bienfang watercolour brush Pens" they're self wicking pens that are really good. They have a really similar nib to a pocket pentel brush. The cool thing is, you can refill them with whatever you want when they run out. You just snap off the top, rinse it out and fill it up. You can even buy UN colored ones and just go from there if you don't like the colors or whatever.

[@TheSquirrelsgonewild]

I've bought a Noodlers brush pen and buy whatever ink I want for lining. It's a refillable brush pen.. Saves you from having to buy brush pens when they run out :)

[@JellieBee]

TheSquirrelsgonewild Oh I've not heard of that brand but it sounds cute :D Yeah it's such an obvious idea, I don't know why I didn't think sooner but I'm so glad I've enlightened some people!

[@ranoomy123]

If you wanted a light grey you can just add water to your aquash then add a few drops of black ink to your water the more black ink you add the darker the grey is and vise versa with the water

[@LovJinxx]

The Pentel Aquash is in three sizes! At least I think so, I got a three pack on Amazon for about 11 USD and they were a small, medium, and large sizes. I'm pretty sure they were Pentel brand. They look the exact same as yours.

[@JellieBee]

I just noticed that! I must have just added a default size to my basket then haha. It's so close to the inking pen that I'm glad I ordered it without knowing hahah. I'll amend the description, thanks!! (Also sob $11? :( its £13 here)

[@eternal8song]

thank you so much! I have a bunch of colored India ink and some water brushes for watercolor that I used before I got a nicer one. I don't know why I didn't think of this!

[@JellieBee]

+eternal8song Aaah you're very welcome!

[@MizGizma]

Buy them for about $1 a piece on aliexpress website (search for water brush, not a name brand)

[@mewgli4177]

I've got that exact same travel brush, it's called a koi water brush and I love it

[@andieanderssen780]

Thank you so much! I've wanted to use a proper brush pen after I watched a few videos of you using one. Since then I have looked at buying the Pentel one you're using, but the price tag here is very nasty... Anyway, after watching this I decided to try out the Japanese calligraphy ink I had stashed away. And it worked! It's also great with copics! If I could read Japanese I'd tell you the brand. Again, thank you so much!

[@JellieBee]

Andie Anderssen Oh gosh that's so awesome! I'm so happy it helped :D

[@Hetachan]

If you want a waterproof ink, I've heard India ink is great! :D personally haven't got around to using it myself but I've heard very positive things about it!

[@JellieBee]

Rubin (Hetachan) Yeah I've heard good things about India Ink too, but I rarely use water with my work so I'm happy as it is for now. Copic proof is good enough for me! I'd love to try washes and stuff with ink though~

[@Ucceah]

if you want to carry one, look up bonkote flux pens. they got a regulator and sont tend to leak into the cap nearly as much.

[@cottaging_womble905]

This is a really cool idea! I’d love to give it a go, however, do you know if it would work with a pigmented liquid watercolour, like Dr P. H. Martin? My concern would be that it might clog or dry onto the nib, and I don’t have any dye-based inks to use instead. Any advice would be much appreciated!

[@deactivated3584]

I did this, but I used India ink. It doesn't really work that well because india ink is a different thickness than writing ink... so it was a bit messy. It works okay, but lining drawings isn't that ideal. Though messy, blocking out areas works well. Just sharing my experience for others :)

[@ajevans4061]

You can get the pentel Auquash in a three pack with a large, medium and small, just so you know.

[@zef5764]

have you every tried the pentel art/color brush pen? its almost the same as the pocket brush pen but with nice flat colored ink!

[@CardsbyMaaike]

i use them with distress spray inks, for watercoloring

[@BudgetJett]

Watching older videos, that turquoise ink oh my 😍

[@purpleyipXD]

I just bought one today and I'm in the UK :) You can get the pentel brushes at Cass Art which are also online :)

[@katarey]

I love this because I had this same idea before I even knew you channel! Anyways, when I made mine it leaked every where.. How would you (or someone in the comments) fix this problem?

[@nafordebi]

hi hopefully you will see this did you dilute the inks? with water ? I wonder how alcohol inks would work in the water brushes

[@trinayatesanimation]

I use the pilot pocket brush pen and I believe it works so much better than pentel

[@robinzeng830]

Hey! So I followed the steps and made three grey-toned brush pens with the pentel aquash. They worked really well at the beginning, but all three unfortunately clogged up and stopped working in the end. I used different degrees of concentration of the Winsor and Newton black calligraphy ink, which I believe isn't even waterproof. I was wondering if you encountered a similar problem or if you know how I could fix it. Thanks! uwu

[@vwood2]

Robin :3 That's bad luck! Even though W&N advertises the calligraphy ink as washable, it really isn't. It's meant for dip pens. Fountain pen ink is created to remain soluble and won't clog water-brushes. The brand Jellie Bee is showing is Diamine but any brand of regular fountain pen ink will work. Unfortunately, they are dye based so will fade with light. ......( Good news is that the Pental Arts Pocket Brush is lightfast, however as Jallie Bee says, just available in black).

[@Mr.StarktheShark]

If lightfastness is a big issue, you can always use a matte spray to protect your drawing once it is finished. No perfect, but will easily triple the lifespan of the piece before it begins to fade.

[@theflufffball]

Eeee more brush pen heaven! **0**

[@JellieBee]

theflufffball Yaaaay!

[@rannpnut7681]

+Jellie Bee Hi! Love your video. So you just fill the compartment with your choice of ink and done?

[@guineverecerisene5295]

RannPNut Yes sorry I was the one to answer! Uh huh, you can in fact fill the water brush with any color or type of ink you want. It is also great for watercolor art. Just fill it with water/ink and the water/ink won't just come out by surprise; you have to press/pinch the compartment for the water or ink to come out. Some waterbrushes dispense the liquid from the side and some to the brush part itself.

[@Floofffy.]

I use the Aqua thingy for watercolour pictures, it's 8 ml :D

[@asd45u]

I tried to make this and it didn't work, i believe it is because I put a bit a water in the brush along with the ink. Did u just put the ink straight in the pen?

[@JellieBee]

+leah naylor I did :)

[@melissanehc]

I filled it with all water and then ink REGRETSSS

[@dorisramos9134]

she is so cute. Can you do the 12 color challenge? or make a drawing and paint it with just one color but in the different shades on that particular Color?

[@mintyartsy4346]

Great video! How did you fill the waterbrushes? With a syringe? I'd love to try this

[@JellieBee]

I made a funnel out of paper and poured it over a sink hahah. I will get a pipette or syringe though, too much risk otherwise!!

[@mintyartsy4346]

oh funnel is good too XD Thanks

[@wendyminier6272]

Minty Artsy

[@drwoo6090]

I use those water pens. They are great. But, I'd never thought to use my pen inks in them! Brilliant! The music, at times, overpowered what you were saying, and I missed some of it. Could you,not have the music while talking, please I am hearing impaired and struggle to hear as it is, but any other noises and sounds makes things even harder. Thanks 😊

[@JellieBee]

+Wendy brown Aah no worries! I sometimes struggle with getting the audio just right. I'm hoping to eventually get closed captions on my videos too, would that be of use to you? :0

[@drwoo6090]

+Jellie Bee hi. Yes, closed captions would definitely help. thank you. happy Christmas.

[@anniebombanny8617]

I bought a couple of Diamine inks last month hoping for them to be marker-proof. I bought "Oxblood" and "saddle brown". Only one of them was marker-proof. The "oxblood" ink bled really badly when copics are applied to them (even after waiting 2 days for it to set/dry). Have you (or anyone else) found that only some of Diamine's colours are copic proof? Or are they all supposed to be and I got a duff one?

[@toxicaj6800]

ahh your intro is soooo CUTE! >3

[@JellieBee]

+Wolf girI AJ Thanks ;u;

[@Ashliegee]

I bought my Aquash brush at Cass Art in London!

[@JessyLyn]

I've been using the Aquash water chamber pens for nearly a year and a half now and they are SO worth it. I've considered filling them with more than just water, but I'm worried about how the nip bristles will handle it. Any word on that?? (Does the ink stain the nib, etc.)

[@JellieBee]

Jessy Lyn I assume it will stain the nibs, which is why I bought new ones (and uses a really old one that I don't use anymore) :B The H20 did have some leakage but thats because I didn't put the lid on tight enough after filling it!

[@JessyLyn]

Jellie Bee Awesome! Thank you. c:

[@xCloverGreenx]

Hi Jellie, if I get a water brush and fill it with ink but then want to fill it with water or viceversa, would that be possible? Of course that I'd wash it before putting the water or ink x3

[@JellieBee]

xCloverGreenx I don't see why not! Just if you use water and then use ink, make sure the pen is totally dry, I did that with one of mine and it heavily diluted the ink with just a tiny bit of water. Ensure its dry before putting fresh ink in :)

[@xCloverGreenx]

Ok,thanks!

[@bianca35]

I'm pretty sure that you can't refill these markers with Copic ink, maybe because the nib on copics are different to these pentels. So the outcome would be different... Correct me if I'm wrong 😋😎🤓

[@eh8914]

just in case you wanted to know,pentel aquash comes in 3 sizes

[@marshmellowdraws272]

This is a really good idea, I LOVE IT!!! I might use it.

[@Ms2cents]

Why don't you just use aDerwent intense blocks with your watercolor brush pens? It's easy to use and it's permanent once it dries. You'll save more money in the long run.

[@skelatori]

Ooo I'm going to get some red ink and do this! Alsoo...is that maplestory music I hear?! 😸😸

[@AnasHart]

Can you use fountain pen inks in the Pentel pocket brush pen, eg Noodlers? If not, what type of inks can you use eg India inks?

[@rebekahgrace4984]

You can use Noodlers, and india ink works great in my koi waterbrush

[@AnasHart]

Rebekah Grace I tried using Noodlers Air-Corp Blue Black in my Pentel pocket brush pen and it didnt go well, the ink was too thin and came out watery...

[@JillValentine2013]

Anas Hart Pentel use water base ink.

[@skipws]

hey, so, this is a really cool concept, do you think it would be okay to use Indian ink in water brush pens?

[@JellieBee]

+arin hanson I don't see why not! It might clog them though, so be careful!

[@skipws]

+Jellie Bee thank you! I've only started going outside of art supplies for more than a couple dollars, and want to play it safe c:

[@punkacatart2751]

Have you used waterproof inks (like indian ink) in your pens? I'm curious if it would dry out and ruin the brush. I use ink and watercolour together rather than copic pens which is why I wondered if it would work.

[@blitzerz87]

I second this question!

[@MLEbug]

How did I never think of this?!?

[@hillarylarcenceil9224]

do you think the liquid watercolour like ecoline would work well in brush pens?

[@vegansprinkles]

What is the difference between a brush pen and a brush tip marker? Thanks 😃

[@imjustapancake3188]

My guess is the markers can maybe mimic water color, and the pens for inking and give a finer line.

[@JellieBee]

+Emily Daniels Nothing really, a brush pen is just a pen with a non-static nib, i.e. a brush. It can range from the stiff fude brushes to a flowing sumi-e inking brush. Copics are also technically brush pens due to their nibs - I did a comparison of some brush pens in a different video :)

[@giaonguyen3799]

i have a question. What if i want a waterproof pen?

[@JellieBee]

+Giao Nguyen Waterproof ink :)

[@giaonguyen3799]

+Jellie Bee XD can I use India ink ? XD

[@memem4710]

+Giao Nguyen yess!

[@adalikl943]

Yep, I remember my dad had this idea and bought a couple of them so he could get colored brush pens

[@JodieG28]

Thanks I wanted some more colour but could not find any 😭😭😭 you have help me a lot all my love Jodie 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@shunuuu]

is there a way to make your own brush pens?

[@juustomimmi2697]

You can always use a brush? ^^`

[@shunuuu]

Juustomimmi I'd rater not.

[@tainadelcaribe]

The Pentel Squash comes in 3 sizes. Yours is the small, and there is a medium that about the size of the one with the orange ink in this video and the large that is just a little. bit bigger. Maybe try amazon.co.uk to see if you find them. Hope this helps!

[@relicsong]

do they work with Copic refills? I want to start getting into Copic but the sketch are so expensive so was thinking of getting refills and trying this with the water brush (how easy is the brush to clean?) or getting refills and just dipping a brush into them. Lets face it you get way more ink in the refills than the makers for around the same price.

[@JellieBee]

You know what, that sounds like an experiment that would either yield some crazy results or be entirely disastrous, I might try it one day haha.

[@annemarteb2536]

I have a question, since I live in the Netherlands, I can't find an online store that sells Diamine ink without having to pay three times the price of the ink itself for shipping it. I want to make sure that the ink I use will work with Copic markers, because I don't want to ruin the markers. Can I use Indian ink or is it not alcohol proof? I hope you can help me because all the Dutch (online) stores only sell 8 colors of Diamine ink and black isn't one of them. (It's like a 150 year celebration edition) I hope you can help me!

[@JellieBee]

+Annemarte Beens Diamine has always worked nicely with Alcohol ink, but always let it dry before trying anything! Indian ink should be fine too, but I don't think I've used my Indian or Japanese traditional inks with Copic yet, but I'll most likely do an updated inking video :)

[@MrDucklets]

Is that maple story music in the background! That game was my life

[@KOREEEEEE]

ikrr

[@sunnychen43]

Omfg same

[@Codaleia]

Hi Jelly ! Did you put full pure ink in the brushes or can you put also diluted china ink too ? (because I tried once and it didn't work as well as I thought it would :/)

[@JellieBee]

Kawell et ses Livres (Coda-leia) I did put ink straight in without diluting it :) it might be because the ink I bought was already quite thin, as it's a cheaper ink :B

[@bookisland6515]

do you think you could do this with copic ink in a brush pen and also do you think it would save you any money? thanks so much!

[@JellieBee]

+bookisland I dont think so as Copic ink would need a felt based nib, rather than a bristle one :)

i’ve been wanting brush pens for soooo longㅠㅠ i finally asked my mom and she didn’t wanna buy them because i ‘wouldnt use them anyway’

[@emilyagain2002]

is it possible to clean the brush completely (nib and all) and switch to another ink color if you run out and can't find the color or do you need to buy a new water brush?

[@dragonsong86]

I was going to do this, but I've found that the ink usually stains the brush, and sometimes the barrel. Not sure if any color would carry over and muddy the new ink, but since they are so cheap I decided not to risk it.

dragonsong86 good to know thanks ^^

The nibs stain similar to colorless Copic blender, but as long as it is cleaned until the water runs clear it will not muddy new colors used afterwards. The bristles are synthetic and so dye adheres to them moreso than natural bristles.
