I am a multimedia artist so I work in a lot of mediums. do you have a tiktok? My tiktok name is dustiejacobs if you are interested in a new friend.

[@mochii_on_video]

I swear everyone who used to be obsessed with copics and wanted to have a huge collection just does digital now

[@louvermcfadyen5971]

Dont call me out like that..... :(

I feel like I mostly draw in my Sketchbook now tbh

[@avocadoartist1145]

when using a colorless blender you put the blender down first, then the other colors. It sound backwards, but it works. if you do it the other way it just lifts the color

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Thanks for the tip! I just recently started using the blender so I only had my very limited experience to go off of xD

[@keirabraun8348]

I was so confused when I was using them! I was like "is this just an eraser what"

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

@@keirabraun8348 Sort of? One of the ways I use a colorless blender is to very carefully use it to kind of "push" the color back into the line art.

[@certifiedgoblinoid4296]

I feel so dumb. I just started using alcohol markers and couldn't figure out how to use the blender. I even put some of the ink directly into the blender. Which makes cool effects, but was nearly impossible to clean back off. Thank you for your tip. 😭

[@blinxly5530]

@@certifiedgoblinoid4296 sameee one of my friends let me use her's and I was so confused! I had to watch a whole entire video to learn how to use it 😂 even Jazza, one of the holy grail artists in KZbin didn't know how at first, so it completely fine :)

[@LaovaanArt]

Wow, thank you so much for the shoutout 🥰 and fabulous video, I love your style x)!

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Omg marker king noticed me 👀💕 Thank you so much, I admire your work so much!

[@mac0_art586]

Hahaha Öhr lauwarm

[@nilawarriorprincess]

I'm a watercolor color artist, so, honestly I just wanted some background noise as I ordered dinner. I figured there'd be some commonality, but this video is far more valuable to me as a watercolor artist than I realized. I'm even screenshotting the section reviews; Thanks! Side note if your art was this amazing 2 years ago, I definitely need to subscribe & see what you're doing in 2024 & beyond.

[@lilyrusx]

Your editing just makes you even more of a legend.

[@juliaschneeflocke9208]

Can we talk about the Google recommendations for a second? "Can I layer alcohol markers on a plane?"

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Absolute chaos Love it

[@feralshojo]

Just imagine how awesome that plane would look!

[@robin9759]

Was the answer yes?

[@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts]

@@robin9759I wanna know too lol 😋

[@rikki2326]

"I don't even know what the vibes are for the video at this point" Impeccable. The vibes are impeccable.

[@viridianartist_]

I recently got the 40 marker set of Artify markers for Adopt A Senior (a thing my high school does to make us feel better about a pandemic) and hadn't used them due to going through a slump traditional art wise. This video literally showed up in my recommended and now I feel more prepared!

[@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts]

I got the skin tone set on sale 3 years ago & loved it so much I got it for 3 of my friends!! Artify markers are soooo juicy!! 🦋💘🍭

[@melsdrawingdiaries]

The amount of inspiration I get from your art😭😭 like I see one of your drawings and I’m like “that’s it I’m gonna draw now”

[@prim_manga9885]

I just ordered Artify Markers a few days ago and now I'm doing research lol. As someone who never colors in their art this is very new to me and I'm sooo nervous but excited. I'm getting my Markers tmr so I'm probably gonna watch this so many times.

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I definitely recommend their markers ✨ I used Copics for years and Artify's feel really similar. Especially the ones with the sketch tip!

[@emmyblackbloodedqueen4030]

So artifly is better then ohuhu?

[@Dahlily]

​@@emmyblackbloodedqueen4030I just ordered ohuhu on gretlusky recommendation so..... 😬

[@cari9157]

this was so helpful thank you! been doing oils, watercolors, and digital for years but finally getting my first set of alcohol markers in the mail soon. can't wait to experiment!

[@Parmesanpuree]

I HAVE RISEN FROM THE SHADOWS TO WATCH THIS GLORIOUS VIDEO

[@Octo_Yeet]

Thank you so much for this video, your way of explaining is understandable and digestible, I love that you did section reviews that we can screenshot ! Multi medium is also my favorite, that’s why I chose to start marker, thank you for making it less daunting :)

[@Haromegaa]

One of my favourite ways to work with my Premier pencils and my alcohol markers are to mix them! You can use prismacolours to enhance the alcohol markers over top but you can also use the alcohol ink to help blend your pencils!

[@HamiGirl1]

I feel my mind expanding. Thank you for the tips!

[@Cybo-18]

I thought the music sounded familiar until I realized it was a Wii remix (a good remix at that).

[@NighttimeDaydreams]

Yus, I struggled so hard to recognize what it was from, until I had actually stopped thinking about it, and it suddenly came to me. XD

[@L3mon_Mylk]

This video was very helpful! I especially appreciate the summary at the end of each tip, it's a handy refresher and makes the advice easy to write down 😃

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I'm so glad it was helpful 💕❤️

[@mihaelgabrijel3859]

I am very thankful for this video! I was preparing for my three biggest art projects I've done in my life and this had done WONDERS✨️❗️ I've never used alcoholic markers until that moment and your video and tips simply got burned into my mind from how immaculate they are

[@christinarivas8888]

For the high lighting part, there are pens that are made for that kind of stuff, they have white ink in it! That’s what I use🥰 I love ur art and I’m getting these same kind of markers soon! This video really helped me and I’m so excited for when I get them🥰

[@katlificati0n]

May or may not have to rewatch this video since I was vibing to the background music half the time 🤠

[@Pixie_Barrow2024]

I have used alcohol markers once, and the result looked like a 3 year old had been coloring with Crayola Super Tips in a Dollar Tree coloring book (they were Copied and it was marker paper). But I see my friends making beautiful multimedia pieces with alcohol markers as the centerpiece, so I grabbed a set of 100 Belleza Suprema markers and now I'm on KZbin. Yours is the second video I have watched. You're the most adorable human on the planet, I subscribed to your channel. These tips are awesome, thank you for explaining everything I did wrong 5 years ago ❤️

[@doodlethealien8889]

Im more of a digital artist but a few years ago I was gifted with a huge collection and got some more for Christmas this year. I want to get more into it because they're just collecting dust and traditional art is still very fun.

YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING ALL MORNING!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@bluefaerytale]

I love how you add the section review, good videos in general!

[@Thunderpaws111]

Thank you SO much for this video. I’ve been buying books and practicing and practicing. You taught me more in 15 mins than reading for hours….. anyway, brilliant info from a great teacher! Thank you.

[@Elineeee-oc6oh]

Hey this is seriously the BEST video about markers I’m now gonna try and draw a butterfly…. Idk if it is gonna work out but your type of explanation really helps and it is pretty calming 😊❤️

I wanted to update our art supplies a little bit so I got some alcohol markers from our local dollar store to see how and if my daughter and I like them...I will keep your video in mind when playing around with them as soon as my daughter is asleep 😆 Ps your artwork in the video looks amazing ❤❤

This is my first video of yours and I'm an instant subscriber!! This is exactly what I was looking for for a practical instruction video, and your style is so fun to watch I immediately put more videos of yours on in the background while I started cooking

They're tricky but once you clock some practice hours it gets easier 💕 I definitely recommend Loavaan's videos if you want more tips!

@@PricklyAlpaca okay, thank you very much for tips and advices :) ❤

[@dragondoodles78]

Oliver's Antics and DrawingWiffWaffles both also give good advice on marker drawing

[@SwedePotato314]

Awesome video! I've been working harrrrd at getting my marker work where I want it. I think your point about mixing mediums is the best. I love to use watercolors (my main medium), colored pencils, gouache, and ink/ liquid watercolors over it to get it juuuust right. Knowing you have other mediums to use over a marker base takes away a lot of the perfectionism I feel, knowing that it doesn't have to be perfect and I can use other mediums to achieve the effects I want and can't get with markers. This video is one of the best made marker tutorials I've ever seen tbh. The way it was made with the section reviews 🤌👌
