Ah yeah I have tried several of those, seems they work okayish at start but then they clog or just stop working or suddenly blurb out a lot of white :-). I’m probably using these wrongly. Any tips?
That’s my idea too, and fixing small mistakes… :-)
I’m trying guache like Titan (and China?) White but it gets heavily absorbed by the paper, I’m looking into acrylic paint too, and I’ll retry my gel pens :-) , we’ll see how it goes!
Do you have an example with your gel pen? Would love to see!
Here is what it looks like going over Tombow brush marker:
And here it is over waterproof fineliner:
The W mark indicates that I applied the white while the black base was still wet. The application looks similar when dry and doing similar strokes; it seems like the best technique for covering dark ink is to dapple it with the pen. I’m thinking that it works better over the fineliner because it doesn’t reactivate the pigment in the waterproof ink.
Here’s one where I used it in a piece. The paper isn’t great, but you can see it applied as reflection on the eye:

I’ve used mine very sparingly, like adding reflective highlights to eyes. I guess they’re just not good for covering a lot of area.

So I did a bit of experimenting.
