Artists and illustrators reach for this POSCA brush marker when they need bold, opaque red strokes on paper, canvas, glass, metal or plastic. The semi-flexible foam brush tip responds to pressure, laying down lines from 1.0 mm to 4 mm wide in a single pass.

• Line width: 1.0–4 mm

Why choose it

POSCA pigment ink sits on the surface rather than soaking in, so red stays vivid even on dark or transparent materials. The brush tip is firm enough for controlled edges yet flexible enough for expressive sweeps, making it a dependable tool for both fine detail and broad fills.

Ideal use cases

• Sketching and illustration on mixed media
• Customising skateboards, phone cases and other hard surfaces
• Signage and window art that needs to withstand light and moisture
• Layering over acrylics or coloured pencil without smearing

Good to know

Shake the marker before use to mix the pigment, then press the tip on scrap paper until ink flows. Cap tightly after use to keep the tip supple. The water-based ink cleans up with soap and water while wet.
