A few weeks ago, I’ve shared with you a lot about my process when I create a wood sign.
Today I want to share my favorite marker to letter on wood.
Sometimes, after the wooden piece is sanded, stained and ready to be lettered, I start by lettering first using regular chalk and after the sketch is done, I start the inking process with my markers.
At the end, I just use a wet cotton swab to erase the chalk.
Other times, I just go free-handed and start lettering directly using my marker. Depends on the day and the design mostly.
Now, to the most important part of this post! Yes, as you can see in the next picture, my favorite marker for this kind of work is the MOLOTOW One4All Acrylic Pen Marker.
The main reason why they are my favorites is that they are quite opaque.
The kind of transparent white ink on the upper part of the filling inside the letter “d” was made using a Sharpie Water Based. The bottom part, was filled using the Molotow marker.
Can you see the difference?
The lettering really stands out when the ink is opaque and not translucent.
Which one is your favorite marker? Let me know in the comments!
Have a lovely week and stay warm <3
