Unipin makes fineliners that are very light gray - fine enough to add some detail, but because of the light color, it doesn’t have the comic-book appearance of black fineliners. Try them.

[@ChrisHongArt]

oo that's interesting, I'm curious to try! thank you! :)

[@verditerthistle]

derwent also has some graphik line maker pens in a really light grey that are also waterproof. dunno if theyd be alcohol marker proof, but they’re great imo!

[@MayaAsakura]

The markers on the portrait are very pleasing to my sight. I believe that the lines is the special ingredient that makes this piece so special. (I love when you can see the lines, it reminds me of sketching process) ❤

oh my god juust in time!! i've just purchased my first marker set and have been trying to convince myself i did not wasted my money for something unnececary as a student who barely can set aside money for art and hobbies :"@ watching you made me feel happier and also motivated as always!!! thank you for the video chris

[@ChrisHongArt]

honestly I've used pretty much every art material i've ever purchased! eventually XD so don't feel badd! happy to hear the video helps! :)

[@rumpeltyltskyn]

Oh it’s hard for me to pick between chisel and brush. I like both. But I think I have to go chisel. I love the chisel tips from Ohuhu’s Kaala line.

[@ChrisHongArt]

oo haven't tried those, didn't realize there were different kinds of chisel tips!

[@qiyiyi29]

I love how you draw/paint the nose and mouth, never feel tired to watch you draw. I can't wait to recive the book! ♥

[@ChrisHongArt]

thank you hehe! Aw i saw!! I appreciate it so much, hope you'll love the book when it's finally here!! :D

[@nichadaye1007]

I liked all your portraits. I didn’t see anything wrong with second one. I have tried markers when I was in school. I have to work on it again.

[@rohood3813]

WHY DID I ONLY JUST FIND YOU!!

[@Mido6i]

The 'Letraset Tria Markers' have a brush, chisel and a fineliner tip that connects ontop of the chisel, they seem to be pretty expensive, I believe they are used in interior design a lot Ive not tried them myself but heard both good and bad things, they seem to be exactly what you were describing tho :)

[@Laura.jane.handmade]

I know that you were pretty hard on yourself with the second drawing but as I was watching, I decided that that was my favourite out of the drawings in this video! ✨ I don't know what it was about that drawing that I loved the most - maybe that I felt it looked most like the reference photo or maybe I just preferred the colours you used. Either way, that one was definitely my favourite & it goes to show that art really is subjective!! 💐❤️

[@ourabouras]

I’m definitely a brush tip girlie, the chisel tip makes my art look so messy and unfinished. You might want to think about buying the Tranesca Apple Pencil grips ( the big tangerine blob). While you do have to take it off every time you want to charge, it does help keep you from straining your hand, plus it makes it easier to find. Have you seen Ohuhu’s newest alcohol marker sketchbook? It’s supposed to be bleed proof so it might help you maintain your edges when you layer colors.

[@Dianikorn]

I actually loooove the colours on your 2nd portrait! I wanna try this colour combo too now!

[@boomi4782]

You are gonna love procreate once you get the hag of it -I can’t wait to see what you make with it!

[@PupperPrincess]

I’m team clear blending marker! I love starting light and then working dark saturating my layers with the blender as I go back and forth to blend everything together. I finish off with colored pencils to bring out those little details. I love seeing you use more markers! You make such beautiful work, don’t be worried if things don’t turn out as planned. Paper type definitely makes a difference with alcohol markers. Just keep experimenting and keep it funky fun! As long as you’re having a good time that’s all that matters ❤

[@death__ray]

As always thanks for another great video!! I can always relate to these "unspoken, illogical rules' of sticking to a color palette when it's clearly not working out 😅 my brain is just like NOPE. I also use a combo of brush+chisel tip, but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, I would probably choose the chisel tip because it's more versatile, but though choice! My favorite portrait was the second one! You really managed to change it's original course. Congratulations on launching your new book. I wanted to get the discovery bundle but my country wasn't on the list 🥺 maybe someday 🤍🩷

[@taparatsiii]

This is amazing! Your drawing process is so inspiring and detailed. I feel like I learned a lot just by watching you. Can't wait to see more of your work!

[@sanya_ne_znaet5626]

In my humble opinion, the second and the fourth are the best👍🏻

[@CintaurSA]

I loved alcohol markers, but since I found out about its lightfastness, and how colors fade after several months… I stopped using them. 😢

[@MissAdoptaCat]

Have your first book, Tumble, and love it ❤!! Just preordered Portrait Companion!! Can’t wait to have another beautiful piece of work from you!!

[@Team6OWG]

KInda wish you said which markers you used on your ohuhu set, its kinda hard to find them by eye sight lol. Even if you just note them in the description or on screen is fine.

[@Kimcheegirlee]

I love your marker process videos, I think they are my favorite. And I ordered your book!

[@samy_loewe]

They look beautiful, I love the way you work with the colors 🤩

[@jupiterdai]

Love your art! 🖤🥰

[@Tetheredpencil]

I was thinking of buying Tumble but sadly Greece isn't an option for deliveries. I was wondering if there is a digital version. Thank you for your time.

[@BestFavorite]

You’re awesome!

[@Jenwooh]

Chris you are so cool, thanks for getting me excited about marker art again. 🌞 My 15 year old copics still work! It's a miracle!

[@ChrisHongArt]

Jealous, that's a goldmine right there hehe hope you enjoy playing with them again!

[@Jenwooh]

​@@ChrisHongArtI know right... hard to believe the price now. They were the first art supplies I ever bought. Ty I'll do my best! ❤

[@aadishrisoni3638]

I’ve been waiting for this and its here ❤ i have the 48 basic set and skin tone set so the colors are a bit dark but imma try your techniques🤭

[@laschizo]

Still crossing my fingers to be able to get the book shipped to Norway🤞! Great video by the way!🤩

[@verditerthistle]

omfg i’m SO excited to get ur book!!! aaaaaaaahhh ✨ these are really lovely portraits, my favs are the second and the fourth, the pink you brought in for the cheeks is so yummy :> the way you use the direction of the markers to indicate form is so cool, and the way you described it feels like i’ve unlocked a new stage of art study!! tysm for making these videos with ur amazing art AND editing!! & I love the cat footage :]

[@ChantelleArts]

I recently got alcohol markers and am trying to find my style too! not successfully though haha 😂

[@ChrisHongArt]

i'm still searching too but even failures are helpful! :)

[@LoneJensenArt]

Where do you get your reference photos from?

[@_naynay_]

I recently discovered your channel and I'm in love! Your art is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for sharing ❤ What type of paper do you use? ❤

[@ChrisHongArt]

I used a sketchbook by Ohuhu which is also the same brand as the markers, so the paper is meant for markers :)
