Why should I use gel pens for coloring?
Coloring with gel pens is a fun and easy way to add color and dimension to your drawings. Gel pens come in a variety of colors and can be used to add detail, depth, and personality to your work. They can be used to create a variety of effects, from subtle shading to bold and bright highlights. For example, you can use gel pens to create shadows or highlights, add extra dimension to your design, or simply accentuate your writing.
Gel pens are easily accessible and can be found in most art and office supply stores and are very light and portable. If you are coloring a design with colored pencils, you can use gel pens to decorate and highlight certain shapes.
What are the different types of gel pens?
There are many different types of gel pens available for coloring use. These include:
-
Glitter Gel Pens
-
metallic gel pens
-
Neon or fluorescent gel pens
-
pastel gel pens
-
Mixed gel pens (combining two different effects, for example glossy and metallic)
These gel pens can be used to achieve different effects. For example, pastel pens have soft, delicate colors, while neon gel pens can be used to create bright and bold shading. Metallic gel pens can add a shimmering effect to your work, while glitter gel pens can add a touch of sparkle. Try different types of gel pens to see what kind of results you can achieve.
Another thing to look for is the pen tip size. The finer tips are ideal for coloring in smaller shapes, while the thicker tips have more coverage and allow you to fill the page more quickly.
