This high-precision marker allows you to easily and accurately apply drawing gum, a solution that forms a protective barrier to preserve certain parts of your work when applying diluted inks or gouaches.

• With its 0.7 mm plastic wick, Pebeo's Drawing Gum Marker gives you a fine, clean line, ideal for detailed drawings, finishes, writing and effects. Its durable tip won't break or fray, so you can work with confidence without interruption. You can easily apply the drawing gum in a continuous and controlled manner, allowing you to express your creativity without limits.
• Simply apply it to the areas you wish to protect, and once dry, it forms a film that resists water and diluted colours. Once you've finished your work, simply remove it gently with your fingers or an eraser to reveal the preserved areas and admire the contrast between the reserved areas and the applied colours.
• It must be primed before initial use, then:
  • with the top on, shake the marker firmly to get the ball moving,
  • then, on a sheet of paper, press on the tip several times to soak it with paint.
• It is advisable to clean the tip regularly after use by taking it out of its base and passing it under warm water. If necessary, a spare tip is integrated directly in the cap. It must be stored horizontally, and can be kept for 12 months after it is first primed at moderate room temperature (15-25 °C).
• The marker is an all-in-one tool. This single solution replaces the drawing gum bottle, the paint brush and the water container.
• This tool is very practical due to its easy handling and its use, which only requires you to choose a surface. It is a mobile product that can be taken everywhere.

How to use:

• Graphic ink
  • Graphic India Ink is a dispersion of carbon black. Fluid without dripping, it can be diluted with water for washes. Once dry, it resists water and gumming.
• Sepia Ink

• The Drawing Gum
  • The Drawing Gum is a peelable gum for reserving areas in works with ink, watercolor, gouache, etc. It is applied with a brush or pen to mask parts of the drawing.
  • Coloring is done once the gum is dry. To reveal the masked parts, peel off the gum with your fingers or an eraser when the colors are dry.
  • The Drawing Gum markers offer easier use with precise lines (0.7 mm or 4 mm). To prime the marker:
    • Shake the marker firmly with the cap closed to move the ball inside.
    • Press the tip several times on paper to absorb the paint.
    • If residue forms, remove it with your fingers. Regularly clean the 0.7 mm plastic tip by running it under warm water. Spare wicks are integrated into the cap, and markers should be stored horizontally with the cap closed. They last up to 6 months at moderate temperatures (15-25°C). Be cautious with air travel, as excess product may leak into the cap or wick.
    • For 4 mm wick markers, spare wick packs include two round and two beveled wicks for various calligraphy strokes, extending the marker's life and versatility.
