[@angelcakeart]

Oh man I just LOVE her expression. Those types of wistful and mischievous looks are my favorite to draw recently especially with big poofy eyelashes

[@lela.the.artist]

Yesss! Thank you so much! I loved how I was able to capture her expression. I usually gravitate to more wide-eyed cuteness, but I really felt something "sultry" looking with hair everywhere would be something a little different to enjoy. I'm glad you like it! Thanks for watching!!

[@mikyun7929]

You should make a ohuhu vs Arrtx video. Both are rather cheap to aquire versus actual copics and both have the same chisel and bullet nib, so why not a vs video?

[@lela.the.artist]

I certainly will do so soon. =)

[@pistachio_stick]

this is awesome! i agree, chisel tips are underrated imo, they're so helpful!

[@iilunha]

I love her!! Her little ears are so adorable!! And I love the hair going through the cracks of the fingers, those little details make it so fun to look at! Also I would absolutely watch a tutorial on how to use chisel nibs because I would like to learn. I honestly find myself resenting them a little since I have trouble using them, so it’d be nice to know how to and potentially brighten my opinion of them lol.

[@lela.the.artist]

Omg thank you for this amazing comment! I'm so glad you love the details! And it makes me even happier to know that you'd be interested in a chisel tip tutorial. This definitely makes me want to try my best in putting a good tutorial together. Thanks for watching too! =)

I just use $3 artist pens a colored pencils. ._. I didnt know. There were such things as begginer markers and stuff

I saw your video on my front page, being recommended to me, and I am so glad I clicked. I love your work. I'm definitely going to be a new subscriber. :)

[@neroburnedrome8229]

Ahhhhh your art is gorgeous as usual!! And to comment on your lil chisel blab (if you don't mind) I think brush tips are held to such a high standard nowadays and it's led to believe the chisel tip is bad. When I first started out with alcohol markers I absolutely avoided the chisel tip like the black plague because of the wild misinformation surrounding it. But one day my poor lil brush started to separate (Artist Lost curse it) and I discovered it was actually my best friend. While the brush is really nice to have I think the chisel tip can be your bff even moreso than the brush depending on the technique and usage..

[@kaeltv]

Nice!! I never tried maker before. I might give a try.

[@lela.the.artist]

Awesome! Good luck, and thanks for watching!

Hey! I really like this video! Your art is amazing! I just have one request... can you make a video that goes over the swatches, blending, and comparisons to ink quality from a brand like Ohuhu? Just an idea because I have some Ohuhu's but im thinking of purchasing the Arrtx markers. So yeah, again, just an idea, but it would be appreciated. Thanks, keep doing what you do!

[@RaqstarStudios]

I also just love your drawing style. 💕

[@minsugageniusjjangjjangman9036]

Also(this is my third comment woops) but those markers are awesome! I don't know if it's the marker paper but there is like NO speckling at all with those markers in contrast to like copics or something. It gives it a really clean digital effect. And I'm with you! I love the bullet nib and the chisel nib! The brush nibs are nice but a bit overrated a lot of the time.

[@lela.the.artist]

Lol no problem!! As far as speckling there is a bit of speckling! It's possible my camera didn't pick it up. I just wanted to make sure you knew on the chance that you bought them and expected no speckling. I haven't encountered an alcohol marker yet that doesn't speckle, although I have seen Baylee Jae's review on the winsor and newton alcohol markers and she compared them to copics and showed how there was absolutely no speckling. So I definitely do want to try those markers out!

[@minsugageniusjjangjjangman9036]

@@lela.the.artist Yes! I highly recommend them! But ohh okay, that's alright though. I'd still be willing to try out a new brand of markers any day :p

[@noblankcanvases]

I love chisel tips!! They are really useful, especially for bigger spaces.

[@lela.the.artist]

Agreed! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@littlehawkartist6593]

If anything, I like chisel tips because they are wonderful for laying down large areas of color. I don't have to worry about destroying (or damaging) the chisel tip when I apply pressure like I would with a brush nib. Also, great work ! I totally want to check out those markers , the colors looked awesome!

[@eh511]

You are such an amazing artist, I love all your drawings 💛💜💛💜💛💜

[@lela.the.artist]

[@luzzifern]

Omg when you first opened the bag i was so surprised. I wouldnt expect it to look somewhat close to copics?

[@chariots8x230]

I like that this marker set has so many colors but I really want to find markers that have a brush tip. Markers with a brush tip compare best to copics. Are there any good copic alternatives that have a brush tip?

[@nicolewolfcry7408]

I use the Ohuhu Orginals and I absolutely adore them. Chisel tip or not, i think its how you use them and what your art style is. I like how Chisel tips work.... granted I could use some pointers.

[@ArtbySabrina]

Nice artwork and enjoyed your review. How long have you been drawing for?

[@LunaBianca1805]

I actually like chisel+bullet- combos better than brush tips. If I want paint with a brush, I just use watercolours and acrylics instead of marker ink ^^'

[@lela.the.artist]

Makes sense to me lol. I enjoy all three. I feel each of the nibs have their advantages and disadvantages. =)

[@LunaBianca1805]

@@lela.the.artist Yeah definitely. I still treat my markers somewhat poor fashionedly as I usually just use them to colour in the India ink architectural sketches I do for my studies ( and those actually just with a mix of cheap markers from Action, Tiger and Sostrene Greene, as coming up with an actual building design entails a HUGE amount of sketches) ^^' For those artworks/doodles/whatever I do in my spare time (and to be honest I haven't had quite as much time for that while studying as I wanted to) I use ink+watercolour, acrylics or plain and simple pencil, but would definitely want to try doing more with my markers, especially since I already got so many (that female=gatherer-cliché just really fits me all too well, I LOVE buying art supplies, especially when I just had a bad day ^^')

[@afrospider]

i an do confused where did half of the numbers go, it lit goes 1,4,6,7...like are there more colours in a different pack or are some numbers missing cos Arrtx doesn’t know how to count???

[@marsbit1711]

"i'm assuming thats how you say it cause it looks like how you say it" LOL i feel that! still trying to find out how to say ohuhu comfortably... also, wow. 80 swatches sure does not look like 80 ALSO ALSO WOW! i love the linear you made it's soo pretty!

[@lela.the.artist]

LOL I always just hope I'm saying things correctly because I never know! Thanks for watching though! Also the camera I use is the Canon 60 that basically has an arm that holds it in place over my desk, and then I use a generic ring light to light up my desk to record with proper lighting. I told you I'd get back to you on that! lol

[@yennii3097]

I'm having trouble deciding between these and the Ohuhu! I really want to try using markers and these are cheap, so that's nice since I'm a beginner. Tho, I do like how the Arrtx have pastel colors.

[@localsimp6293]

I love this brand! I bought their skin-tone pack a week ago and they've been working like a charm! They blend really nicely, despite not having a brush nib. THOUGH. Some of the bullet nibs are crooked? And some of them kinda bend from the base. The chisel tips are really nice as well as the bullet nibs, but the bullet nibs are just a lil crooked and shaky.

[@localsimp6293]

& I personally love the shape of the caps of the markers :3

[@TheDawnOfRayven]

Can you do a video of comparing these to ohuhu? I just bought a $39 set of 80 ohuhus on amazon 2 days ago, so it's a similar price but are they both good quality?

[@fionajames8098]

Do you have to use marker paper for using these markers …I have a set arriving tomorrow from amazon

[@InvokeArtSense]

I really like that bag too. The colors and texture are super nice. Is it like Ohuhu where you can't buy single colors if you run out of one?

[@lela.the.artist]

So I can't find a definite answer so this is 100% an assumption, but I'm gonna say that they are like Ohuhu as they don't state anywhere on their Amazon listing that they're refillable/ or individually sold. And yes, I really loved the bag! Thanks for watching! =)

[@InvokeArtSense]

Thank you for answering me. I appreciate it. It helps a lot.

Please do make a tutorial on the marker nibs how to do them so they don't streak the ones I tried they were awful I just bought a really cheap set just 45 for like $9 to try them again these look really nice once I practice with the small set might look into trying this marker like more color's eventually to color with if I can learn to use them also if you could do one on shading with markers if possible OMG need so much help will help my hands using markers I think but don't want to ruin a picture because of streaking I noticed these don't scratch the paper either like the old ones I gave to my grandkids just didn't know how to use them didn't give enough time learning how to use them I guess. So hopefully can learn how to use them and love them 😃 with your help. ❤

[@cyberellawho876]

tried markers and found them frustrating with colours not being what i thought they were and colour bleeding over lines. So a tutorial would be most welcome

[@lela.the.artist]

Can you tell me what paper you used?

[@cyberellawho876]

@@lela.the.artist 130gsm white cartiage

[@lela.the.artist]

Hmm, so I'm not 100% sure if it's the paper causing you this bleeding issue, but it might be. The only two types of marker paper I use, are "X-press It" blending cards which are 250gsm and Strathmore Marker paper which are 190gsm. However I would personally recommend "X-press it" for final art pieces. I also tend to make thicker than usual outline when inking. Especially when inking digitally, to print out. There are pros and cons to that. Pro being if there's bleeding it generally can't be seen because of how thick the line is, con being there may be a higher probability that the black ink lines may smear when coloring. (This is a common thing that happens even with marker like Copic. It generally means you need to wait longer for lineart to dry, or be careful around thicker lines that may smear.) Beyond that, I don't experience bleeding often, and I feel confident that it has to do with the paper I use.

[@cyberellawho876]

[@rashone2879]

I have been buying and using art supplies for years and I think it's very true, like most accomplished artists say, that it is not a good thing for beginners to use cheap materials. The reason is they don't get good results and it can be discouraging. Watercolors and paper especially apply here....cheap paper and cheap watercolors will discourage beginner because the paints will be weak and not flow well on the paper. Better to buy a limited number of any products...6 basic good quality watercolors are better than a supply of 100 cheap colors.

If you get the chance, you should check out the pro/brushmarkers by Winsor Newton! Especially if you like the different marker ends.
