Got your brush pens? Perfect. Now, let’s make sure you’re using them to their full potential.
Step 1: Hold it Right
Sounds basic, but how you hold your brush pen changes everything. Hold it at an angle for smooth strokes, and experiment with the pressure to get thick and thin lines.
Step 2: Master the Basic Strokes
Before you jump into full-on artwork, try these:
✔ Thin Upstrokes – Light pressure going up.
✔ Thick Downstrokes – More pressure coming down.
✔ Blending Colours – Scribble two colours next to each other and use water or a blender pen to mix them.
Step 3: Experiment with Different Surfaces
Brush pens aren’t just for paper. Try them on:
🖌 Canvas – Adds a cool texture to your work.
🖌 Fabric – Some brush pens work on tote bags and t-shirts!
🖌 Planners & Bullet Journals – Perfect for decorating your pages.
