[@terrycfni3657]

Thank you can you do a color along using them

[@lizaomara5657]

I’m with you Shel the paint pens make a world of difference and your colouring is sublime. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@elliemcgeeart]

I knkw this is about the paint pens but your coloring is brilliant. Thanks so much for letting us know that these work well.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you so much!! So glad you like my colouring style 🤗💗

[@andreagaisser4981]

Oooh that pastel set looks awesome. Sometimes my white paint pen is just too white and stark for covering the black lines, so what I have recently discovered is that I can tone down the white by applying gel crayon on top of it with a sponge, but the sponge is not good for detail work so those pens would be very helpful. Thank you for showing all the examples of using the pens, your pages are beautiful!

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Oh that is a great idea, thanks for sharing that! The pastel set is definitely gorgeous!! Thanks for taking the time to watch 🤗💗

[@valerieb8006]

Your pictures with the paint pens have a more painted look. Very very Nice!! Your work has a lovely glow to it. The paint pens are a fabulous tool!! Must look into these! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and tips.🙋🥰

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you so much, so glad you like my pages! Thanks for taking the time to watch, glad you liked the video 🤗💗

[@yensantos0425]

Oh dear! Another colorist that I follow use them but I use the Posca pens as the alternative. Now that I have them in box sets I'm so tempted! I got a number of Posca pens already but... hell why not? Those pastels look divine.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

😂 sorry but they do work wonderfully and yes, the pastel set is gorgeous 🤗💗

[@marlenaamalfitano1558]

I absolutely love these!

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you so much, that's so sweet! Glad you like watching (and listening) to my videos 🤩 thanks for taking the time to watch 🤗💗

[@wendyscolouring]

Totally agree with this video, I have a range of paint pens, I use to help remove lines I don’t want, Sadly I had a lot of issues with my Tooli art pens, most of mine kept blocking, and they were very frustrating. Current favourites are the Arrtx ones, had no drying out with these yet. (My Tooli ones were the older style ones, so hopefully yours are better) I’m very tempted to try the pastel ones. Thanks for the video, makes me feel perhaps it might be worth trying a new styled set👍🏻

[@alisamartin1437]

I had the same problem with them blocking.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Ah that is very annoying. I have luckily not had any issues with blocking yet....I swatched my first set of pens in July so tried all the pens, and I still haven't had any dried or blocked up. But I do tend to clean my pens after every use, so not sure if that helps ensure the nibs don't get blocked up. They are still working great....or maybe it is the new styles of pens like you said 🤗💗 if you try them out again, I hope you have better luck this time round 🤩

[@wendyscolouring]

@@shelscolouringjourney I did notice the nibs are different on yours, mine are felty type, but your look plastic, I was dipping them in water and wiping them, but obviously felt, just wasn’t coming clean. I’m guessing plastic nibs will be an easier and more effective clean. Might try a new set, and see how they go, as they do have great colours, it was the earth/natural pack I have, and the colours are great, but they have drove me daft. Good to see the difference, that’s for sharing them, x 👍🏻

[@emmacolours2020]

they turn out really beautiful...I have the earth and skin tone set of the tooli art I am definately going to pull them out

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you for all the interesting tips you mentioned re the tooli pens. I have just purchased the Pastel set and was unsure of how to use them. You have inspired me now!. Thanks!

You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful 🤗💗

[@DieterPrivate]

They seem wonderful, and those pastels 😍. Hopefully they will come out with open stock colours. They do have replacement nibs.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Yes, I agree...those pastels are so gorgeous!! I do hope they come out with stock colours at some point. And I forgot to mention, but a few replacement nibs do come with every box actually, which is very handy 🤗💗

Hi Shel, thank you so very much for the review. I am having a terrible time keeping them flowing. How do you prevent that? I took a few nibs out and am soaking them in hot water....do you do this every time? thank you for your time☺

Nice review and pretty pages, but can you please put the name of Tooli-Art in the Title and description? Even the Transcript portion had Tooli-Art misspelled so I had to hunt around the video to find out what pens you were using. Thank you.

So beautiful pictures👏do you color everything on the page only with those pens or also pencils?

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you so much 🤗💗 I use the pens mainly for highlights and covering up black lines etc. Most of my page would be done with pencils.

[@bubbleofcoloring]

My ivory posca pen isn’t even opaque. I shakes it and used it a couple of times but I can’t get a lot of color out of it. No idea if I am doing something wrong. Great coloring with it, Shelly. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you so much! I totally agree with you....I do struggle to get good opacity with the Ivory Posca - I tend to do at least 2 layers to get full coverage with it....it's good to know I am not the only one who finds that 🤗💗

[@TheCasey0811]

Thanks for sharing! I have these pens but haven’t swatched because I don’t use them often and didn’t want them to dry out. Would you suggest swatching and wiping clean, or just swatch as I use them, which is what I have been doing.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

So I haven't yet had an issue of any drying out yet, but I do tend to try and clean the nibs as soon as I am done with the pens....I have had the Earth and Skin set since July....would that be long enough to figure out if they are drying out? You could always wait to see how the ones you have used so far behave before swatching them all out just to be safe. Hope this helps 🤗💗

[@elizabeththompsongraves9352]

Love this brand so much, have all sets of these, so much cheaper than posca and they have better Color range

[@shelscolouringjourney]

That's awesome! I will slowly build my collection. it is definitely a wonderful brand and I find they work so well and gives great opacity with just 1 layer 🤗💗

[@chuckswain8299]

Do these acrilic paint pens dry like paint and wrinkle paper? I see some of similar paint pens at Michaels. I'll try a few.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

I haven't actually used them in very large areas, but for the amount I have used them, I haven't seen any wrinkling of the paper - and I tried them on different paper quality too. Hope this helps 🤗💗

[@jackiekonrad859]

Those pens look very pretty and you use them beautifully 🐚 I do have the white posca pens but I don’t use them often only because pencil doesn’t really color over very good in my opinion! Do pencils color over these pens

[@shelscolouringjourney]

They are definitely beautiful pens Jackie 🤗💗 You can colour over them, but I haven't tried it over large areas yet, but over smaller areas it worked well 🤩

What is the paper like in Teresa's books? I've always been scared to get creative haven books because of the potential of getting the very thin amazon paper

[@shelscolouringjourney]

The paper is still thin, but better than the Amazon paper for sure 🤗💗

[@amandjuh8885]

They look very interesting. So i was thinking to buy them as a Christmas gift for myself. Take a look at the dutch amazon and see the prize 79.99 euros for the 36 set.😅 i think i will keep using my posca’s. And add those to my wishlist and hoping the price wil go down hahaha🤗💕

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Oh my!! That is crazy...why is it so expensive on the dutch amazon. 😱 I got that set on Amazon UK in July for £28.99 (about 33 Euros)!! I hope the price will go down, because that is a huge difference!! 💗

[@amandjuh8885]

Yes it is a huge difference😅 just need some patience and hope the price will drop😊

[@sharonvanderpool4611]

I just found your channel and definitely will be subscribing!! I get so frustrated with the Posca white and seeing all of these options of colors to use is amazing 😊😊 do you use your finger to spread the colors when you want it to look more spread out like the lamp lighting? Will you be doing a video on how to use them? Looking forward to watching more videos ❤❤

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Welcome! So glad you found me 🤗💗 Yes I used to think Posca were good but then realised that was occasionally having to put 2 or 3 layers to get the opacity I needed. So far with the Tooli-art I have not had this issue - 1 layer has been working perfectly. Lets hope it continues to be the case. Yes I do occasionally use my finger to spread the paint colour in certain situations which gives a great effect. 🤗💗

[@lynneclark1212]

Curious what pencils you recommend for Eriy books?? Your colorings are outstanding!! Want to try these pens!! Thanks 😁

[@shelscolouringjourney]

I just discovered in last month's colouring (you can check out my completed pages for Oct 2022 where I discuss), that in Eriy's English edition of her Romantic country books, it helps to use a base of watercolour pencil or probably just watercolour and then any pencils on top - I tend to use the Faber Castell Albrecht Dürer pencils which are watercolour pencils, wet for the base and then I use them dry over the top. For her Japanese edition books, I can work straight with the Albrecht Dürer pencils dry as the paper is a lot nicer. I am sure I have heard people use polychromos and prismacolors too. Hope this helps 🤗💗

[@lynneclark1212]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the info!! I had been struggling in those books for some reason. I appreciate you & getting back to me so quickly!!😊

[@13Moondancer]

Can you use these pens for backgrounds, please? Do they bleed through the paper? Many thanks for showing these pens.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

They don't bleed through for sure. With regards to the backgrounds....the size I purchased are too thin, I wouldn't recommend a background with them. If you get thicker nibs, then I think they could work for backgrounds. 🤗

[@alilyon9961]

Would you use them directly to paper or use a pallet and paint brush? Your pictures look amazing. X

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you so much! I tend to use them direct to the paper....never used them on a palette. I think I would probably consider getting normal acrylic paint for using that way as I have never tried it with the paint pens 🤗💗

[@desireebryant3658]

Thank you for sharing. What is the best way to store these type of pens?

[@shelscolouringjourney]

It's my pleasure! The pens should be stored horizontally (I have placed them in a pencil case) and I would recommend wiping clean the nibs after using a pen so that the paint on the nibs doesn't get dried up and block the pens (you can use alcohol wipes or warm water). I haven't had any blockage issues with the pens yet and I make sure I wipe them clean after every use. Hope this helps 🤗💗
