White Highlights.

[Astra]

What do you guys use for white highlights.

I've been doing a lot of marker stuff in my blackbook, but white colored pencils don't cut it for the highlights.

What do you use?

[Aven]

elmers white paint pen

[Kayone707]

^ YES!....Extra fine tip

[Aven]

its dope and better than the deco or the sharpie version

[Live4TheWall]

I just sharpen the shit outta a white primsa colored pencil and it works very well........

[-kosr-]

dont use sharpie white paint pens, especially if your doing ink sketches, shit is terrible. I use woodcrafts.

[levans]

i use white uni posca...(thin tip not broad or med)

[EGO31]

i think there is already a thread on this called black book techniques

[AimoOne]

What about for the UK..i seriously need one..i been using a correction pen but the flow is unpredictable

[pizzleaint]

works real well over markers

Haha, I've used those. Fucked up the whole thing.
But the paint they use is about the best I've seen.
Goes over almost anything. It's the steez.
Someone needs to make a whiteout in a marker
format, seriously.

[Able!]

i use the sharpie paint with the rlly thin nib and i readily agree with the guy above me

[Msfyt]

i like using china markers for highlights
you can even erase them
and they go over top of anything
though kinda more like a blender white then a strong white

[DEKOR]

personaly, i just dont color the higlighted part..
dont bother wit buying special highlight pens..

[walkdatline]

umm why not a white deco-color?? they got all kinds of fuckin thicknesses

These are what I use. Extra fine like Hepos said. It's about as thin as a ball point pen.


Theres also another one I used once, I forgot the name but they were made by Sakura. I only got a few usages out of the pen before my dog chewed the shit out of it, but it worked pretty well. It was a extra fine felt tip, so you didn't have to worry about the flow or it blobbing up on you.

[Astra]

The problem is, im waaaaay toy.

And every time i try to draw my highlights BEFORE my fill, it ends up looking shitty.

Ill probably end up using like, whiteout. lol.

[conart]

i use those milky pen things they go over any colour n stand out pretty nice

[trashhh]

[yakrian]

go onto Markal.com...ask for a free sample of their ultra-fine tip white paint pen...Delivered to your door for FREE...and they work pretty nice. Usually takes two layers to properly cover everything, but the outcome is worth it.

decos are great in every color except white..they have poor coverage..gel pens, elmers white paint pen, and elmers extra fines..do a dandy job though i must say

[emel]

ZIG fine point markers they arent EXTREMELY SKINNY but they are small and they go over coors the white one

[ILL]

i got some marker called a "galaxy marker" it does what i need it for but its not too opaque

[vman]

Ive got afew galaxy markers but ive never seen white ones.
Try white out.

[Flash_One]

ELMERS paint pens.. i rack them from michals..

[mask_cib]

you can also use a gel pen they make white but sometimes the tips on them fuck up

[toronto]

WHITE GEL PEN

[BoRe-719-]

almost nay kind of white paint marker will work, make sure you get a good brand though.

i use extrafine tip white sharpie paint markers. get em at art and craft stores, art stores, etc..

[-kosr-]

I have one of those, you can barely see the line it makes, and you gotta go over it 15 times to make it noticeable, and after all that the line is messy.

[ESKE one]

i use presto white out pen but some times i could come out all big in one spot and litle in another you just got get used to it

sharpie has two kinds of markers.. oil based and water based...
use the water based one.. shake it good then try it..

Ever notice when you use a fine tiped deco the color kind of soaks in to the paper?
and when you use a water based painters paint pen it dont?

[tha boy in da corner]

white out pens are not that bad, the only thing with it is that you have to keep the tip clean from any dryed paint residue and you're good to go


my favorites right now are oil paint sharpies and the posca are not bad

[sabe2]

i use normal sharpies or just paint markers threre ez too rack and so are zigz

[Aven]

im tellin you guys....elmers....easy as shit to rack and rocks a solid white line

I totaly dont agree with you.. Alot of white paint markers will not look pure white on the page.. the other colors will just fade into it.

[sheistbugzNY]

i use the duble sided zig zag it doesnt work great tho, imma start using the elmers

[xFatel.Onex]

use your sperm

[Aven]

hell yea, you have to prime and use it on scrap paper a bunch every time you use a fine white deco, and even then you have to go over your lines like twice and it makes your piece look old and faded.


i use a painters calligraphy tip cause you can get lots of effects and line widths, and it covers like flat white krylon, nearly opaque but it lets a little color show through which at times can be good.

[runci]

white coloured pencil

[anie 1]

ive been using those white pilot paint markers they work sick but its fucking thick

[ODonthesetrees]

how is there 4 pages on this topic? original poster couldve easily jsut PMed someone with nice highlights and asked what they use, or stop beign a lazy ass and went out and got a marker came back and tested it

[ironik_wa]

i use liquid paper in the sqezzy bottle thing or a white paint marker but i found that u gotta go over the same line about 3 times b4 u get a nice bold line

[ironik_wa]

if u sketch in ur highlights first u dont need to use anything just leave it the same colour as ur page

when i paint i use ironlak...OZZY PAINT
