How I Blend with Ohuhu Alcohol Markers

[@AndeLikeTheMint]

I really enjoy your work and your attitude. "This is wrong but I like it" definitely belongs in the art world.

[@Half_of_The_World]

at this point, even though I already know how to blend, if I see one of these videos by anyone I just click so I can marvel at their skill, another great video Lela, pls keep making them :)

I enjoy the way you explained your blending tips and tricks. And I appreciate the way you broke traditional shading rules to create parts of this illustration. It's a such a refreshing tutorial!

[@Icantthinkofachannelnameatm]

I've always needed a tutorial for blending!!! thanks!

😊

[@SanjanaChittiboyna]

this a great tutorial highly recomonded and I'm a beginning too just bought two days ago this helps

[@LuvMelody-i3o]

I just bought some Ohuhu markers literally this morning.... They're coming tmrw so thx for the tutorial, probably would've needed it lol

[@reyannacorf71]

This is such a great tutorial! Have you ever considered uploading your line works on a patreon or as an ebooks or PDF for downloading? I’m sure many people would love to pay for them to colour them in! You have such a fantastic design and style as an artist!

[@christinamcgarey1752]

If you are ever inclined, would you do a video lesson on 'learning where' shading would be on faces and nature? I look at things and go ''''how do they know where it would be shaded"". I feel like I cannot really create nice nature scenes because I am not sure exactly where shadows are placed. Thank you.

[@bigburple6269]

Sorry this is a reply to a year old comment, and I'm not the one you're asking but I wanted to try to help you - I believe for your case you'd need to study on lighting and form/volume for faces and I believe the same applies to scenic/nature stuff. You'd have to visualize where your light source is coming from and how shapes are affected, how the light bounces off, etc. - It's hard to give you specifics because I can't see how you draw, but I hope this helps a little, at least to give you a starting point to solving your problem :)

[@emmac329]

I just got my first set of ohuhu markers and I’m so grateful to have found your channel! I haven’t used alcohol markers in ages and feel so shy 🤣 i just have to accept it will take some time getting used to them.

[@cupiidfaiiry]

i was jus wishing that you would post, my prayers have been answerd !!😫

[@TheMassacre-ip7bw]

YES

[@Romulus623]

Lela, thank you so much for sharing your blending style, it truly helped me to analyze and gain the understanding, again thank you!

[@charlottesmom]

I own a complete set of Copic Sketch so never gave any other markers a thought, the markers you are using look VERY intriguing though, the colors seem to look even better than my Copics. I'm going to buy a set and play....Great video!!❤

[@Ashidk13]

I got an Ohuhu set for Christmas, and I’ve had trouble blending the markers so this tutorial really helped me thanks!

[@willaandrews7283]

Thank you! I have troubles with blending. I also wanted to ask if the reason my markers bled outwards was because of the paper

[@lela.the.artist]

You're welcome! 😁 and the paper could be the issue. It's important to make sure you use paper compatible with alcohol markers. In this tutorial I'm using Ohuhu's Marker Pad Paper. But it you experience bleeding out even while using marker paper, then try making your strokes softer or not going to far to the edge of your lines so that it doesn't bleed out beyond the lines.

[@willaandrews7283]

@@lela.the.artist ok thank you! I have some marker paper but haven’t tried it out yet so that might work much better

[@marker-art-with-volha]

@@willaandrews7283 Ideal paper for alcohol markers is Color Copy by Mondi (uncoated). Super smooth and very nice for gradients.

[@willaandrews7283]

@@marker-art-with-volha thank you

[@phioshin]

​@@marker-art-with-volhaNO. this is a shitty paper for prints. You'd better say that you can use different kind of paper. The important things are: - the paper must be "acid free" (Mondi is an acid bath) - the paper must be smooth. But i use also non smooth papers for some effects...specially for fine arts - Many people tell that maker paper have to be very light. This is not true. In my works i feel well using a 180gr, BUT, more the paper weights, more color you're gonna lose in the middle of the sheet by absorbing... Finally, TAKE A BLOCK OF "CANSON" MARKER PAPER 180gr, or you can use also a paper for mixed media, but think about spending more than 10 € and you'll have great results. Paper is one of the MORE IMPORTANT things in art.

[@aizaqureshi1454]

So helpful - I love your process of colouring in the skin, it is very inspiring

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

You really helped me here! The last person I watched says to go over the entire dark color with the next color when blending and you just go over part of it, which looks better to me. I'm just starting out, so you have been such a great inspiration ❤❤❤

[@pepperplayz1320]

Tysm but when it comes to the skin I would recommend starting with the lightest color because you can go over it and you Can decide where to put the shadows a little easier but if you start with the darkest color you can't go over it but this is just my personal opinion and please don't take this as a hate comment I just wanted to share that but you Can do whatever you like

[@Vildmis]

Do you have a video of which colors fit well together for blending? It's my biggest struggle because i come from colorpencil where the saturation has more control and can be controlled by pressure 😅

[@PerryPictures]

This is so nice!!!! Thank you for doing an example at real speed and explaining the thought process as you go ❤

[@chawal78]

I'm going to have my first markers ohuhu very excited and your video will help me a lot thank you very much

Is there a way of me coloring your art. so I can work on my blending and shading with Ohuhu markers

[@SilentTrip]

If price is not a concern, would you recommend Ohuhu, Copic, or W&N markers?

[@akshida9741]

Thank you for thr tips video! I'm new & hoping someone can share what the best market paper is?

[@vivanecrosis]

A have Copic and Promarker but these techniques you show work just the same. I learnt so much, thank you 🤍🤍🤍

Thank u I really need a tutorial is blending with this markers

[@melindawallin3713]

That was so much fun to watch . I mainly use colored pencils but I have alcohol markers and wanted some idea how to work with them. Thank you for the demonstration, looks great.

[@angelcake.3328]

Im in an art club in my school and one of the ppl in my club brought ohuhu markers (which I will be getting 4 christmas!!) and I've been tryinf to know how to blend. They let me and the others share their ohuhu markers. Mostly I borrow some after school and if I have permission I get to keep tgem for a bit (but I have to take care of them which I know is important.)

[@ivanatanasov569]

Great video! Can you please share what paper are you using? I realized that not all paper is suitable for alcohol marker blending...

[@claudinha8864]

Yeah, I’d like to know too. I recently bought a 240gr bristol paper and my alcohol markers (touch new) just bleed through it 😫 Should’ve bought Ohuhu 🤦🏻‍♀️ Although this is the first time I use these kind of markers and I just feel so dumb trying to blend with them.

[@lynnarmstrong24]

Can you please do a comparison video drawing both with Copid sketch and Copid ciao one on each side ??!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gh0st.3x3]

I bought a cheap ripoff of copics and I was just wondering if copics are streaky too. I tried to color but they dry way too quickly. 😔

[@BobbiDeeWebley]

This was very helpful! I was worried about the Ohuhu not blending as well as Copic, but it looks like that’s not the case.

[@pkpckls]

Thank you for this, really helpful guide. I'm also glad to see it's not just me who keeps opening my markers at the wrong end 😅

[@blakezummo264]

Definitely a helpful tutorial. I've unfortunately realized if I want to color with markers I need to learn how to ink first, regular pencil absolutely melts

[@LilHeavenlyTreasures]

I just got the Ohuhu alcohol markers. So, technically, you do not have to use the colorless blender marker that comes with the makers?

[@AmiBunny1]

Your markers look and blend a little different than the ones I recently bought from the official website; is this a new series or something? :o

[@HIJAXX3D]

I don't know why my ohuhu markers don't blend at all. The fine tip isn't fine either, and it's not brush-like like yours. I don't get it.

[@sonakshisingh3576]

Fine tips are the worst kind of tips in markers.The tips she uses in this video are called brush tips.Theyre different from fine tip.Personally for me,these blend the best.I think youd have to watch a seperate vid for blending fine tips.

[@meghaghosh2545]

Fine tips and brush tips are different. These are brush tips. I fell fine tips are much harder to blend.

[@vivianski]

This was so helpful! Thank you. 😊

[@maddieshaffer5538]

please i’m trying with the same colors and mine are just not blending like that the potato brown and rose beige do not blend

Instead of describing it as "bleaching" the darker color, it's prob more accurate to say it's "lifting" the color. Anyways great video! Ugh my markers are still packed from moving I should dig them out.

[@WebPixies]

Also thanks for the heads-up about the ohuhu sale, I still need to pickup the skin tone and mid tones sets to complete my collection. Because obviously I need alllll the colors, lol.

[@disneylandtoday]

I just got my first set of Ohuhu markers after watching your series of drawings... but something about your technique looks a lot more "wet". These markers don't seem to go onto paper that wet and yours seem to have an almost watercolor consistency... are you dampening your page are you doing something else besides just using the marker as is? None of my shading comes out like that, in fact they tend to streak when I go over an area...

[@CairoGolding]

It’s the watercolour brush that’s why

[@tigerclaw1565]

I tried blending black and red, with this discovery it's difficult if not impossible to blend contrasting colors...

[@ricelover6948]
