Highlighter Pen Cagematch
July 3, 2025 by Ajey
Today we’re going through seven different brands of pen and marker that can be utilized to highlight. We will test their abilities and even find a few alternate uses. We’ll test their ability to layer over alcohol marker effectively as well as their opacity and staying power.
- Uniball Signo Broad
- Pentel Milky Pop
- Sakura Gelly Roll
- Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Brush
- PaperMate InkJoy Gel
- Temu Highlight Pen
- Staedtler Brush Pen
- Uni Posca Marker
I put each pen through a series of tests: Opacity, Smoothing/streaking, dry time, precision/line control, layering ability, and vibrancy. I’ll just explain what kind of perils they had to endure and give you a table summing it up. We’re going to cut the bullshit.
Welcome to Artopsy.net! I'm Amanda Jean or Ajey. However way you want to spin it and I'm here to share as much knowledge as I can. I mainly do written tutorials so I apologize if you prefer video. It's overstimulating for me personally to create them. Can't focus on the art if I'm spending half my time trying to film it >:[
