What makes POSCA feel different
POSCA markers are paint markers. They are opaque and bold, which is why they are popular for highlights, accents, and covering mistakes.
Best uses in coloring books
- Tiny highlights and glossy details.
- Borders, patterns, and bold graphic shapes.
- Fixing small mistakes by covering an area, then recoloring on top.
How to avoid streaks
- Shake well and prime carefully so paint flow is even.
- Do one clean pass, then stop. Let it dry.
- Layer after drying instead of scrubbing wet paint.

FAQ
Can I use POSCA over alcohol markers?
Often yes, once the alcohol ink is fully dry. Test first, because paper and ink combinations can vary.
Do POSCAs bleed through?
They can soak into thin paper, but heavy bleed-through is more common with alcohol markers than paint markers.
