Posca Pen Tutorial (Video) No Ink Loss!

Added 2019-08-09 23:58:10 +0000 UTC

Hey guys!
Here's my first tutorial video! (And, likely one of the only ones that will be with traditional media)
I learned a lot recording this, and it's definitely not perfect, but I know now I need to get a different app if I want to do video editing solely on my ipad. (This was made with Adobe Rush, iOS).
This is a learning process for sure, I've never done video editing before AT ALL!

To go along with this video, I've taken some pics of the smaller "pin type" 0.7 mm style since they take a little extra love to get going without splorting all over.

Inactive pen, note no green on the tip!

To start, just like with the larger pens, press the tip in to release the pressure.

After the air is released, continue on with the same method as you have seen in the video!

After you've pressed down a bit, Put the cap back on and SHAKE THAT PEN TO HELL!
Seriously, give it a good shaky-shake!

Then go back to pressing down over and over. If you don't get ink flowing, shake it up again and go back to pressing.

Rinse and repeat til the ink starts flowing!

In my experience, it's best to be patient cause it can take a few repetitions to get the ink working through this nib style. BUT the extra work means no wasted ink, and these small ones DEFINITELY splort out too!
