The difference between watercolor pen and watercolor pen

Drawing is an interesting thing, which can be a person's small interest or a person's major. Many beginners can't tell the difference between marker and watercolor pen. Although both can be colored, there is still a big difference. Let's introduce the difference between marker and watercolor pen.

1, features. Markers are divided into flat head and round head. When using, flat head is the main method, supplemented by round head. Markers are rich in colors and have lower saturation than watercolor pens, but they are more transparent, even in moisture, and easy to be colored in multiple layers. The pen head of watercolor pen is mainly round, with high color saturation, less color than marker pen, lower transparency and uneven water distribution, which is not suitable for repeated color overlap and detail description.

2. color. Markers have a wide range of applications and many colors. The fields of use are divided into several series, such as green, blue, log color, etc., while clothing design mostly uses light colors and colors with low saturation. Most watercolor pens have high saturation, bright colors and strong contrast, and are generally divided into 12, 24, 36 and 48 colors, which are mainly used by children and markers. Only the color with strong color contrast is needed, and 48 colors is enough.

Step 3 use paper. Marker paper requires the thickness and smoothness of paper, so choose special marker paper or coated paper. Although other paper can be used, it is easy to penetrate. Although watercolor pens and watercolor pens are also easy to penetrate, the moisture content is uneven. Generally, hard gouache paper, whiteboard paper and watercolor paper will do.

4. Application surface. Marker is a professional painting tool with a wide range of uses, such as paintings, advertising slogans, design items, posters, illustrations and so on. Watercolor pen has high saturation and strong contrast, and is mostly used for children's painting and marking.

To sum up, markers have more pens, types and color numbers, better color overlapping effect and wider application, and the final painting effect is better, more professional and of course more expensive. As for which marker pen or watercolor pen is more suitable, you need to judge which one to choose according to your purpose.
