I also wanted to test some new white pens, which I have been on the hunt for forever and after a very intense search for the perfect white pen I stumbled across a few reviews on Uni-ball Singo Broad. I had never seen these in the store here so I ordered them off Amazon and I can say I absolutely love these. They have a nice thick line and have a great opaque white pigment. I didn't have a problem with them pulling up the black gouache, only one minor problem, I went though the whole pen with this one tree. I also picked up the Uni-ball Angelic, it is great for the thinner lines but it doesn't seem to have the same opaque pigment like the thicker one but it does the job.
I was using the white Gelly Roll pens and they worked good, however I had a few issues that didn't work for me. First, if I was filling in an area it would sometimes pull up the black pigment from the gouache. Second, if I was going over some of the white I had already done it would pull up the white that was dry. Now don't get me wrong, I still like my Gelly roll pens, but as you have seen from previous post I use a lot of white ink and I need to make sure I am using a product that isn't making me do double the work.
Well, look at that, this post turned out to be more of a review of white pens. I hope you enjoyed and if you are on a search for the perfect white pen I hope this helps a little in your search.
