Review on Permanent Attom Tech Art Oil Based by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, they work great.

Continuing my previous review, I would like to emphasize that these drawing pens are a great bargain. Despite what other reviewers say, they definitely work just as well as branded drawing pens (e.g. a marker). It's exactly what I want from a drawing pen - definitely not perfect, definitely a fun time. I am also changing my rating to 5 stars because they are worth it. A word of advice for dissenters: All really big things are inherently problematic. Reaching great heights requires compromises, and drawing pens are no exception. Paint is thicker than ink, especially oil paint. Surely whoever invented color didn't want it to flow straight out of the pen, and with good reason. Despite the oil-based drawing pencil's initial problems, it remains a popular tool for artists, craftsmen, mechanics and more. They are so versatile - they write on anything and once dry the color stays on - it won't scratch off porous surfaces but otherwise good luck with the removal. The paint does not smudge or smudge. They produce sharp lines with bright, glossy, even color, and you don't even have to clean your brushes when you're done. Most tagging issues can be fixed with a little extra effort. To allow the paint to flow through the marker, it is slightly diluted, making it runny and less opaque than paint applied with a brush. In order to achieve a strong, opaque colour, the felt-tip pen must be thoroughly impregnated and applied in several layers. To keep the tip saturated, you need to press it regularly to spread more color as you use it. If you press the tip too often or for too long, puddles and drips will form. To avoid this problem, I recommend keeping a few slips of paper handy. If you need more paint, press down on the tip of the scrap paper so your work isn't ruined if too much paint comes out. If you blot the scrap paper before it gets thicker and drier, you can dip it, which applies the color directly to the tip of the felt for thicker, more opaque lines. Overlapping colors will cause the tips to run, resulting in messy two-tone lines. The only way I know of to fix this is to carefully extrude the other color with scrap paper, lightly (to avoid further mixing the wrong color), draw and sketch (avoid overlapping scribble lines - this will become the color worsen). problem) by turning the knob to ensure all sides of the nib touch the paper, sometimes squeezing out a small amount of paint. The other color will gradually fade from the felt onto the paper. Even if it's a dark color that meets a light tip, the fresh color you push out of the pen will eventually dominate. Continue this process until you are happy with the color. I've posted a photo of an example of my pen drawing on an envelope with (disorganized) lines going from blue-orange to orange and on top of that you can see the release paper for the cheese slices I used to get the black out of the Yellow. Hope that helps! First Review: I love these drawing pens, but had to deduct a star after the marker turned red while shaking it. As with all drawing pens, it takes about 30-45 seconds initially for the color to absorb into the felt tip, but I've found the instructions make it sound like it's much faster. This seems like a bad idea on the manufacturers' part as it could lead to complaints from people who are inexperienced with drawing pens. As expected, if you shake them well before each use, the color will become more translucent and opaque. with thicker application / more layers. With medium pressure the new nubs make lines of approx. 2mm thick, getting thicker as the felt is used. Red and orange are too similar in my opinion - red should be a bit darker and orange should be lighter.
