This video was exactly what I needed, and thanks for showing how you weigh and fill your markers for tip #7! 6:40 Speaking of mistakes and covering them up, I recently sketched a page with four simple character drawings, first with pencil, then some watercolor marker highlights, then pen outlines, erased the pencil and added acrylic paint highlights. However, I wanted to add an element and started with pen instead of pencil, and it looked so wrong that I had to color a flowing cloak over my character and then painted everyone's background in gold acrylic paint, which covered my black pen errors. I like the finished piece, but it's definitely not what I'd started out to do. 😅

Thank you so much for the tips! Is mixed media art papers good for blending with alcohol markers? I happen to bought quite a bit

@thaneeya

3 ай бұрын

You're very welcome! 😃 Mixed media art paper could work with alcohol markers - it's definitely worth a try! How well it works depends on how absorbent the paper is. If it's too absorbent, the alcohol marker ink will sink into it quickly, making it harder to blend. Whether or not that's an issue depends on your personal art style. Also, if the paper is too textured, then the marker nibs might cause pilling. But all in all, it can't hurt to experiment and see whether you like it! 🎨🌟

@thaneeya OMGG! So, I just found your channel tonight and I am so very glad that I did. I was recently lucky enough to afford my very own set of Ohuhu Markers for the very first time in my life, and am grateful to have found you because your channel and advice will be a huge lifesaver for me going forward with my art with markers. you are the first person I have found that actually gives in depth advice about different papers to use, and invaluable advice all around about Marker art.

Is this alcohol marks if you blend it together like if you blend yellow, orange or any light color into dark color would it touch the others color and stay in it like the crayola markers and when the color run out do you have to go buy another new one and throw away the old one or how does it workout

@thaneeya

5 ай бұрын

I don't quite understand what you're asking in the first part of your question, sorry! 😊 I can answer your 2nd question though: some brands of alcohol markers (like Copic, Ohuhu and Blick) offer ink refills, so you can refill the markers when they run out of ink. They also offer nib replacements so you can replace the nibs when they wear out. So you can essentially use the same marker over and over. But if the marker barrel (or marker cap) gets cracked or broken then the entire marker will need to be replaced. Hope this helps! 😃

@nouxiong5783

@thaneeya I mean that if you blend to color together like red and blue, would it turn to purple and while you color like yellow with dark color like dark color would it stick in with the light color and while you color with it

I just got my first set of alcohol markers. It’s a 48 set ohuhu from amazon(working on getting another set) I can’t afford copics 😅100 USD for 10 markers is outrageous lol Plus all the artists videos I’ve seen said ohuhu is a very close second and that’s good enough for me lol Anyways, thank you for this video! I’m not an artist I’m a colorer. So, Does anyone have any recommendations for an adult coloring book that can withstand markers? Currently I’ve been coloring in Crayola’s Mindful Meditations Mandala coloring book and the paper is withstanding but it’s not perfect. It’s a tad thicker than printer paper. Prismacolor colored pencils work great on it for sure. Using both, I didn’t think I could do that 😂 So thank you for the advice!!

What pen do you use for outline your drawing? Mine gets smugged while coloring

@thaneeya

10 ай бұрын

I like to use Copic Multiliner Pens or Pigma Micron Pens. Prismacolor Premier Fine Liners are also good. In general, it's a good idea to wait at least 10-20min after inking before you color with alcohol markers (you can test with different pens to see how long you need to wait). Also, sometimes paper type can make a difference in whether the pen smudges or not. Hope this helps! 😃

I'm just getting started in illustrating and I can't seem to find ink pens that don't smudge when I color over my lines with alcohol markers. Does anyone have any tips for me? right now I have Faber Castell pens in a few different sizes, several different sized Micron pens and, surpisingly, the one I use most because it bleeds the least, is my Pilot V5 ball point pen. What do you all use? Maybe my techniques wrong? All my cross hatching and fine lines smudge when I color over them!

@thaneeya

9 ай бұрын

I like Copic Multiliners, which are meant for use with Copic Markers, so they're not supposed to smudge. That said, paper can also play an important factor, because on some paper types/brands, pen ink can take longer to dry (which can result in smudging when you go over it with alcohol markers). Make sure you leave enough time for the pen to dry fully before going over it with alcohol markers. I like to do tests on new paper - I put down some pen marks and then test going over it after 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 20 minutes. If you still experience smudging, you could even wait a few hours before going over it with alcohol markers. If the pen ink is still smudging after a few hours, then you might want to try a different paper type. Hope this helps & good luck! 😃

I love drawing with Pilot V5 pens, too, and I'm glad your new paper is working out!

Probably a silly question, but when using alcohol markers, for instance three that you're blending, can you leave the caps off long enough to do the blend, or do you constantly have to put the caps back on every time you switch? How long is too long to have one open?

@thaneeya

10 күн бұрын

I usually put the caps back on when I'm not using that specific marker, but if you prefer, you can leave them off for the short time that you're blending. It's okay to leave the caps off for a few minutes - they won't dry out in such a short amount of time. 😊

Can u just use a normal sketchbook?

@thaneeya

10 ай бұрын

You could try, but the results will depend on what type of paper the sketchbook contains. If the sketchbook contains normal drawing paper, then the marker ink will soak into it really quickly, so be sure to put something underneath the page so that the ink doesn't soak through and stain the pages underneath. Also, on drawing papers the ink is more likely to feather, especially if you add a lot of layers for blending. You can buy sketchbooks filled with marker paper, which would result in a better experience, or use card stock or single (loose) sheets of marker paper. 😊
