You can use a lighter color to smudge or blend the dark. The same works for watercolor, acrylic, etc. Edit: if you also have a colorless blender, lay that down to make page moist for lighter blending color

Light to dark works with my workflow better since you can’t go back with ink. Your paper is the lightest you can go, then the ink then the darker ink. It might be since I don’t have a lot of good paper but still.

Ohuhus have a better value for money but idk
I would still always go light to dark for the most part (sometimes I do lay down certain darks first but broadly speaking) by layering the lighter marker to the darkest color it can get and then moving on to a darker one creates more depth and smoother gradients (of course that doesn't matter as much in super sharp high contrast works) also working with a lighter blue in can add an even lighter green as an undertone to bring more variation but it will be harder to do if we start with the darkest color

If you dont have enough colours you can also shade before or after the marker use with pencil. It depends on your preferred texture but this has rlly helped me.
My problem is that I absolutely don’t know where to add shadows 😂🙈
I think the first step would be to avoid using non-marker paper for markers. It really leaves a different effect. Other than that I think this is pretty helpful

You can also get some carton packages or boxes from things that are empty. As long as they’re abt the same size it shouldnt matter… and glue those together. You could potentionally also make them yourself from scratch. If you really want fancy plastic ones that look aesthetically more pleasing and neat then I’d reccomend Amazon yea.

i always watch your videos about do's and don't for alcohol markers, i started buying alcohol markers when i saw this and im just beginner and it's kinda hard and i hate it when the part of alcohol markers dry and can't blend it anymore but I will continue it until i learn it. thank you so much ❤️❤️
I just want to say that I just got my hands on alcohol markers...I'm not a professional by any means (my art is kinda bad)...and this video helps A LOT! So thank you for the lesson 😊
Very well done! Thank you for the awesome video, how you made the hair on the right side was spectacular. I love that you added some green, then applied thick&thin black hatching over top This is probably 1 of the best voiceless, music & text tutorials I've ever watched!
I'm just starting to get into copic markers and adding to my collection my goal is to have as many as I can before I start. this video is super useful! thank you so much
Basically start from dark to light noted ! Thank you 🙏🏾
I love the sound effect for the uh/oh no, cracked me up every time ! Thanks for the tips! Coming to these from acylic paint so it's a steep learning curve
Thanks for telling me this, the fact that I've been dong all the don'ts ever since I first got them till now lol
Totally not me saying during the whole video "Wow". But i just bought on the internet alcohol markers and it will deliver next week.So i'm very thankful for this video :-)
Wow 😲😳, getting to see the colors for shading and blending side by side really helps! It's easier to see how using more colors for different shadow to light creates a more professional art composition. Thank you very much for your time and efforts! 🤗❤️👍🏾💯

Great video! But how do you avoid your light markers from becoming damaged from dark coloring? I know you should wait for it to dry to avoid smearing, but the markers end up being stained from the dark.

I personally have been watching ADCartattack and he always goes light to dark and his pieces blend so nice. I feel like it depends on what your drawing. anime prolly cool to do that but i feel like more realistic pieces should be light to dark because of a better blend and depth.

Just got my first set of alcohol markers. Coming from digital art this will be a little difficult because I’m used to being able to throw down my base colors then adjust the values from there in regards to shading. I did a little test drawing when I first got them and went about it like I usually would when drawing digitally and all the tones were flat and dark because I couldn’t lighten them lol. Looking forward to learning how to use these markers effectively

I'm also considering buying alcohol markers but I know nothing about them. I come from digital art/acrylic painting. How did it turn out for you? Was it worth to buy the markers?
So to blend, do you wait for the first layer to dry then add the layer your blending with on, or do you put it on when it is not dry.
@missbeaussie

I think you can do either but most do wet.
I still have trouble with shading but I'm getting there. This video really helped because I switched to alcohol markers just a few weeks ago and I basically had no idwa what I was doing 😅 Also, is it okay to use references? I always have to look up pictures of the characters I draw, but somebody told me that I should not do that. I don't copy it or anything I just have a picture of a character up on my tablet to look at.

2 жыл бұрын
You should almost always use references, even if creating a new creature or whatever- it only looks good to people if it is based in reality so you can get things like shading, textures at least, even as far as how muscles and bones work together . Drawing mechs - you want them to appear that they could exist and that requires somewhat functional looking connections, hinges, exhaust panels and other real things that are combined in creative and new ways. Final note, those old masters sometimes just did a portrait of someone - no one said they were copying or unoriginal or untalented . Combine references in new and exciting. Ways + combine the techniques and nuances of the artists you admire into your own personal way too!! Literally the no references for any reason is the worst “advice " ive come across on here over and over .

References are great! Every good artist uses them. Even in popular animated movies they had to use references to make the drawings look right. Don’t believe people who tell you otherwise!

@@traceyla3914 "correct" is what your preference is. I occasionally do both, depending whether I'm looking for a softer, more blended effect (light to dark) or a more contrasty look (dark to light). I guess most artists do light to dark because you can always add more shadows, while removing them when adding them first and then realizing they're too strong doesn't work half as well. You can still blend them out, but why correct mistakes when you can avoid them from the beginning.

Definetely a lot of usefull tipps on this, great for beginners for sure💪 But some of them i feel like come down to prefference and artstyle. For example if you want to go for a cell shading style, blending would not work for you. And some people can shade better when knowing where the brighter points are to then put the shadows down. But still very usefull tipps👍
