Painting with Pens || It's Easter??🐰🥚 || FT. ARRTX Acrylic Markers

[@Jedapoo]

Love that duck! Lol, the blue bunny is cute too. Only thing I didn't like about those markers is the way they can chew up the paper. Lovely video!

[@staticwool]

I love how these pens look but you're right that they do pill the paper a bit. Doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would though 🤔 it might be coz the paper bits are quite small so kinda just lay flat to the piece at the end 👌

[@sarahHefner-w8c]

​@@staticwool love you're videos❤❤❤❤❤

[@arrtxglobal]

OMG, obsessed with all these lovely bunnies and cute eggs! So satisfied that seeing so many adorable artworks in the video 😻🐇🥚💛🩵

[@staticwool]

Thank you!! ❤

[@Zoedrake707]

Love the duck so much! The face-eater egg is amazing

[@GeekieGock]

I have been using these awesome arrtx pens for a few years now and I find the painting/coloring experience to be much more enjoyable on a gessoed surface. I'm not necessary talking about when coloring on certain papers, but for ex, the wooden bunnies and the egg would be easier to paint with a light layer of that gesso first. I use mont marte clear, but prob would use white on the egg. I just love this video (and like, all of your others!!), and how you work many little paintings into one sesh... I hope you keep making videos like this!! 🩵

[@staticwool]

Thank you!! And yeah you're probably right, gesso would have made it a lot easier I think 😁 though the colours came out quite well considering I didn't 😂 would gesso have also prevented the feathering? ❤❤

[@GeekieGock]

@@staticwool you are so welcome and I agree, it came out great! The colors really pop and your art is so much fun!! I am into it! I do think that gesso would help prevent feathering... it will be like painting in a brand new surface! Sketchbooks and paper work with these too ..I can truly appreciate how you can use these on most stable papers, and you don't need to prep that surface first if you're just having fun and learning! I find regular white gesso to be pretty smooth when it dries, so you could most likely try it out with minimal preparation... Clear texture gesso, however, might cause the occasion skippage to take place (this is way more true for plastic nibs like posca, less true for brush tip!)... The remedy for this is basically just a high grit sand paper. Do a could of coats and lightly sand between.... This is what I do on wood, and I have taken sandpaper to the gessoed rock here and there lol... Oh and I also have taken to using these double or triple gessoed canvas pads (brands like yes!, fredrix, paramount and the more affordable Strathmore 300 series), instead of canvas paper pads or reg paper. The paper ones are good for checking colors, but that's about all you can do on a piece of paper that's pressed to mimic fabric lol. I like paramount the best! These pens will truly give you endless fun! I am really excited to watch what you do with them and all the exploring in between! Fantastic... And I didn't stress enough how much I truly enjoy and love your art! 🩵🩵🩵

[@ericaroseb]

Hi, thinking about buying these pens and it seems you have experience, how long would you say they last, I'm worried that I'm going to buy them and they will dry out super quick, thanks for your time!!

[@GeekieGock]

@@ericarosebhi there! I didn't read any of the other replies yet, so sorry if there's redundant info!! It's really hard to say how long they will last...I use mine a few times a month to paint rocks or on small canvases...I got my sets maybe 2 years ago (maybe longer, but I have timeblindness lol), when they had 2 sets of 30...I still have them and not one single color has run out or dried out (i do some generic brand brush markers that I use as supplemental colors, too!)...! I'm happy to report that if you make sure you hear the lids snap on when closing, you will keep them safe from this! I would keep them stored in a cooler, dry area -if this is possible! To contrast... My neice received one of the sets for Christmas... She needs a replacement already! For reference, she is 13 and uses them as her go to paint marker, which is all the time! She likes them better than the tooliart brush tips. I'm going to be getting both of the larger sets when mine run out lol... But who knows when this will be! I think you will thoroughly enjoy all the things you can do with this product....I love to do glazing when working on canvas, and I use pentel aquash brushes to accomplish this, by thinning the acrylic ink out with a little h2o .. It is such a fun and different technique.. Plus, it works when painting on primed rocks also! If you are planning on rock painting, don't skip the clear gesso prep or you will fray the brushes fast. My final tip to anyone who uses any kind of brush tip acrylic ink marker, is to give it a gentle shake before each use. They do not require this to be used, but imo, they do if you want the paint to be more consistent from the outflow. Keep the lid on for this step and you'll be in business!! I hope you get tons of Enjoyment!!

[@ericaroseb]

@@GeekieGock Wow, thank you so much for the in depth responses this has been really helpful and I think I will buy them! Thank you so much again and I hope you have a great day!!

[@AmbrosiaMooshine]

I love how the blue bunny turn out they look amazing :)

[@Pikgu_10]

Your drawings and so satisfying to look at like I don’t even need to see the process I just have to look at the art 💕

[@phie_ahr]

The page looks awesome.! The brown bunny is my favorite 💜 ⭐

[@coolkid4906]

Love love LOVE your work! I love the colors u used and how you went back and forth from 2D to 3D surfaces. 💙🧡

[@cupcake9136]

Love how cuddly and fluffy they look

[@KAW67]

You inspired me to buy these markers!!! I’m so excited to try them

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

OMG, Hancock! I just completed Fallout 4 last week after playing it several times and never finishing. Now I’m going to start all over and play an evil character who has turned bitter after losing her son and husband. One of my favorite games ever!

[@staticwool]

YESSSS I enjoy that game so muuucchh and that honestly sounds so good, I can never bring myself to be anything but nice but that honestly sounds so tempting!!!!

[@PixxieLixxie]

Idk how or why but the way you draw and colour in is satisfying idk if thats just me but these for me are so calming. Love you work!

[@ChantelleArts]

These look so stunning, such cute art ☺☺

[@AquaFlower895]

Your artstyle and artworks has inspired me to draw more to break my art block ❤

[@SnailTrailJay]

This is my first time watching your channel and your art is so cool I love it!! Your shading is especially cool. Also cool to see a fellow sketchesofshay fan! Definitely subscribing

[@cutecraftlife]

The fact that it still amazes me whenever I do artworks or see someone like you to do artwork using a lot of marker colors just to draw something with 4 to 5 colors in real life... Changing the eyes of the bunny starting from here 5:02 was relatable tho..

[@MilkyWaytub]

wow, your art looks so cute it looks so delectable:3❤❤❤

[@LissyLou95]

really really love your art style and the way you use colour! your videos are also really chill and enjoyable to watch :)

[@staticwool]

Thank you so much 😁❤

[@NO-um6hc]

This was so satisfying to watch you have no idea❤

[@ajdraws3721]

I love ur art style and shading style it's so beautiful and natural ❤😊

[@crypticrat]

Ooo I wanna buy these markers when I get paid. Your art is soooo awesome. Got me inspired to go make some Easter drawings!

[@jooskiiy]

Hey can you do tutorial how to use acrylic marker I love your artstyle

[@Zz_Molly_zZ]

I LOVE YOUR ARTS😭😭

[@vividyon]

they are very nice pens, ive bought them and I'm obsessed with them, although they are a little pricey heh!

[@sleepyvanilIa]

I truly loved all these drawings, especially the one with the scene of the two bunnies ! the lineart with similar colours makes everything look so magical, I wanna try it ! I rly like these markers, feel like they would be my go to medium - sucks I don't have access to them :/

[@Not_Sub000]

This is so cute

[@WRWATH]

I was scrolling through the homepage of yt and my favorite artist popped up(aka you) and I was like :is- is this a new video~ ?? 👉👈 and I was so happy when I saw it was you ❤❤❤❤

[@staticwool]

Yooo thank you ❤❤

[@wooccoon_]

I'm ill right now and this just made my day

[@staticwool]

Nooo I'm so sorry you're ill 😟 I hope you feel better soon ❤

[@drawwithgreencoffe]

They are so cute you should make stickers of them!Happy Early Easter

[@staticwool]

😂 Thank you, I'd maybe make some tweaks to them first but you might be on to something ✌❤🐰🐰

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

The spread came out so cute. 🥰 I hate to gesso just because if I want to paint I want to paint NOW 😅 but gesso would stop that bleed through also it would have made the colors pop out more. I love the sinister bunnies up top and the story made it even better heh 😏

[@staticwool]

I'm not used to painting on wood or anything different but I think gesso would have really helped 😅 And thank you, I'm glad you liked them 😁❤

[@blueskythefox1594]

what should you suggest i do to get better at these markers? like how do i color with them? do you do it like you would with gouache?

[@Elikaneli]

Not to be that person, but just for future reference: rabbits don’t have paw pads. I know you used the wooden cut out for reference so the blame is more on whoever made that hehe. Love your art by the way!

[@staticwool]

Nooooooooo I feel such a foooll!!!!! 😱😱😱

[@Elikaneli]

@@staticwool Haha don’t, even Disney have gotten that wrong in the past

[@Antisympathy]

And they have long tails 😆

[@thylascene]

ayy, always nice to see people giving out this fun fact /vpos, (weird how some people, expecially people who make these easter-themed stuff to sell assume rabbits have pawpads lmao, nope, just fluff)

[@soup4379]

do thes acrylics bleed through? and what paper/sketchbook do you use? beautiful drawings btw!

[@Sophieiscooool]

I love your art and you have inspired me to buy the pens! Btw what paper do you use?

[@netocanessadraws]

would you say you prefer these markers over the Posca ones?

[@amandaisonadventure]

Love the colors you use!!! Your artwork looks amazing! Would you recommend getting either of the 60 sets if you have the 30A and 30B set?

[@staticwool]

If I could only have 1 of them then I think the other set in the other vid (60B) would be my go to 😊

[@juniistar]

love me a silly duck

[@FoxkøøStudios77]

I say drawing the same way and, living America, people don’t usually understand what I am saying. I am literally 100% American but that British accent is there? 😂 Edit: I love Bonnie 😂 FNaF is everything

[@33096]

I’m going to buy these soon, but my style is really blendy… would you recommend these markers for that? I also really like gouache too, and I’m still able to keep my style with that medium, (but a girl must expand..)

[@staticwool]

You absolutely can blend them but it does risk damaging the nibs if you do it too much (this is mostly based on what I've heard other people say, I try to avoid blending it so don't know 100%) I hope you enjoy them if you do get them ❤

[@mimuuu2199]

which markers are better, the 60B or 60A? i would like to order for my birthday but only one set. I was looking through colors and i am not a fan of the metalic ones but the other colors still look good. So i just genuinely want to know a honest opinion from anyone that had tried them out. Thanks for any kind of feedback!

[@rawree_io]

I was wondering if you could make a video comparing both of the arttx pens (the 60 packs). Is it worth buying both since I’ve seen duplicates of the same colors in each pack. I think there’s about 36 matches of two of the same colors with both boxes

[@staticwool]

I could certainly look into making one at some point. I have a busy schedule at the moment but if I remember once it's cleared a bit then I might 😁 as for now though I'd recommend just getting one box or the other. Last I checked the price for these pens aren't bad (around £1 per pen I think?) but each box has a really deccent range and what one box doesn't have it makes up for with other colours 👌 and like you said there are quite a few doubles so it would probablky be more cost effective to buy one of these bigger sets and then look into getting one of the smaller sets to go with it 😁 that's just my opinion though😊

[@rawree_io]

@@staticwool thank you Sm I love your art btw 🤍🤍🤍

[@BreadedNuggetss]

The fact I JUST BOUGHT these markers , thank you for testing these out! ❤ would you say these layer well? Or do they eat through the paper, though I’m guessing with a thicker paper they wouldn’t do that

[@staticwool]

They layer super well. The faces I show at the end are on printer paper and it holds up super well. It distorts the paper a little (coz y'know, printer paper) and it did bleed through the back a bit, I'm annoyed I forgot I wanted to show that in the vid 😮‍💨 But yeah, didn't bleed through my sketchbook paper which is either 140 g/m or 150 g/m 😁 I hope you have fun with yours ❤

[@BreadedNuggetss]

thank you for letting me know my sketchbook is one of those cute coloured talens sketchbooks which isssss around 150??? not sure!!! Might do some static wool fanart with them, pay tribute since you got me on the arrtx craze! ill tag you in it if i end up doing it! @@staticwool

[@staticwool]

@@BreadedNuggetssYay I'd love to see what you make ❤ ❤

[@drawwithxman138]

How much do the pens cost?

[@Dearest_Honey]

It ranges from 14.99USD to 52.99USD depends on the pack you get and how many are in the pack ! :)

[@Squishy_Seal]

Stupid question and I feel like you have answered it somewhere already but do these pens bleed through the pages ? I have been looking for markers that dont bleed through for ages.

[@staticwool]

I've tried them on a couple types of paper, they bleed through a little on printer paper but so far in my sketchbook (either 140 or 150 g/m) and on cardstock there has been no bleedthrough 😊😊

[@Squishy_Seal]

Thank you ! I've got a Leuchtturm as well, so these should be perfect. Thanks !!

[@mokilatte]

To be fair i also saw the bunny as having his arms behind his back when you saw it and didn’t see the small arm version till you pointed out. New optical illusion debate. Also the paint on the eggs not working well could be because of the materials coating repelling water so of you do this again probably sand them. That being said all the art in the video turned out amazing your artis so cool

[@staticwool]

I'm glad I'm not the only one then 😁 and that's such a good point, they might have needed sanding though they did end up looking okay considering I didn't, but sanding probably would've made it a lot easier 😂❤

[@mokilatte]

@@staticwool hey it’s the life of the artist to make our life’s harder than they need to be out of stubbornness 😂

[@staticwool]

@@mokilatteSo true 😂

[@Leo-the-frog]

Just got these for Christmas and I’m not impressed with them unfortunately. They were a big pack of duel ended ones by this brand. Your drawings are very nice though!!

[@honigblattmearidia4466]

No way I actually have the same scissors

[@staticwool]

😲 lidl?!?! they're honestly the best scissors i've ever owned, had them for so many years now 😂😂

[@Miss_Art_Lover7]

I give up my channel I will never get there ❤😢

[@abbygabby7718]

Don't be a pick me; just put time and effort in. It's simple

[@LucySmith-rv6tk]

Don't give up you'll get there

[@lordyglor]

Fun fact, rabbits dont actually have paw pads. Weird!

[@Shipuchka97]

before painting wooden bases, they need to be primed, that is, covered with white acrylic, for brighter and richer colors, you, as an artist, should definitely know this🤔

[@genovevavevi]

And you, as an artist, should know that every artist sometimes makes mistakes…

[@athaliarodney]

Okay, Alina. I’m sure you know everything too, so much so, that when you figure out WHO ASKED… let us know ❤
