fun fact: you can also create hair using the feathering method, just pick a dark color stroke half of it and pick a lighter color and stroke leave some space to put the same dark color you recently used or put a darker color, this is optional but for better results make sure to line art it with your darkest color and done! another method: you need three markers for this one use the darkest color, follow the line art of the hair using the marker. get your medium color and do the same and use the lightest to color the white spaces if you want an accurate one make sure to identify your light and shadow first, you can also blend the darkest and medium or all the colors or just that way

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. This morning, I was waiting in the lobby at the doctor's office and noticed there were adult coloring books and cheap Cra-Z-Art washable markers, which if I'm not mistaken basically translates to water-based. I decided to give them a try to stave off boredom while waiting and really didn't expect much being that the brand is so cheap and well...waterbased onto of cheap quality. I used the feathering/flicking technique and was actually quite pleased with the results. Not to mention quite surprised. The paper didn't peel and it wasn't much thicker than standard printer paper and I actually got some decent, even pretty, blends. Kinda made my day. Of course, some of the markers were nearly dried out and/or the nibs were quite worn, but I was actually quite surprised and impressed by the performance. I'm even considering buying a set of those cheapest just to play with. I actually had fun with them. 😁 I'm always very happy and pleased when my artistic endeavors turn out better than expected, and believe me, the bar was low with those.

I'm having issues with paper I cant seem to find the correct GSM my blender pen makes the paper too wet then it tares and rolls up....wrong paper yes but which paper is best😄 Thank you awesome video and your blend is on point👌🏼💯

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

What paper do you use? For this video, I used Strathmore Bristol Paper which is 270gsm. I like it because it's super thick and can withhold lots of ink. In my video reviewing the Spectrum Noir markers, I used the Strathmore Marker Paper which is 190gsm. I think that paper holds up well, but it is a little thinner than bristol paper. It is also made for markers, so it holds up well to lots of layering and blends well. Here's some links to the products, if you're interested! Hope this helps!

[@RowKSky]

when you say keep the page wet do you mean like what you would do for a water color piece?

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

When I say keep the page wet, I don't mean use water to keep it wet. For alcohol markers, the easiest way to blend it is to keep the page soaked in marker. In order to do this, I go over a section several times so there's lots of product. Then, if I want to blend another color, I will add it in. If you wait until the page dries, then it won't blend as easily and will create a hard line.

[@harshbsonigra3227]

Ok so first my paper should be wet it goes like lighter to darker tone first a base colour den colour above tht again base color den final colour den base colour repeat this until it get blend ?? But in general how many times should i repeat???

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

It really depends on the markers, paper and how many colors you're blending to determine how many times you want to repeat. For example, in this drawing, I would say I went over the skirt 4 times in total, after applying all the colors. However, I was using a chisel tipped marker and this tends to require more layers to get a smoother blend. If I were using a brush tipped marker, it would take less layers to blend the colors more seamlessly.

How about some mix media marker and color pencil

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

I use marker and colored pencils in some of my artwork! It works great on bristol paper or mixed media paper. I usually blend my markers first, then add colored pencils over as embellishments. If I add colored pencils before marker, the waxy texture doesn't let the marker soak into the paper.

[@prismaduque5532]

I'm new to these markers. Do they ever stain and transfer?

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

I've found that they will transfer onto another piece of paper if anything is laid on top/stacked. I tend to put a piece of scrap paper in-between my art pieces to prevent any staining. I have found red tones to be the most problematic as they leave a yellow stain on any page pressed on top. As for transferring, I use these markers on bristol paper so it's really thick and I find it doesn't bleed through. I haven't had any issues with the marker transferring onto the next page when coloring, but again, I am using very thick paper. On sketch paper or thin paper, it will definitely bleed through, especially with a lot of layers. I hope this helped!

[@thesuperillustrator46]

What should we use to wet the paper? Water?

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

What I mean by "wet the paper" is to keep the page saturated with marker. In order to "wet" it, just make sure your marker didn't dry before applying your next color. It should feel soft to the touch if it's "wet". Hope that helped!

My daughter wants new markers for Christmas. She is 8. She is an artist. What would be the best marker for her. are ALCOHOL MARKERS too advanced or old for her? What marker would you suggest or recommend for a child her age who is used to creating paintings and things with all the various mediums, except ALCOHOL MARKERS

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

Hmm, I think alcohol markers can be great for kids. It'd be hard for me to judge if they're too advanced for her since children learn at different speeds! There are some really affordable sets out there. I'd suggest getting a set that has a chisel/fine tip since they're more affordable. Brush tips tend to be more expensive and if not taken care of or used properly, can fray or easily ruin the marker. I'd suggest the Parkoo Marker set of 80 to start off with. That should give her lots of colors to choose from and to see if she likes the medium! Here's a review I did of it if you'd like to see my honest review: bit.ly/3HO6uPf I'm not sure what you're asking in your last question. Did you want suggestions on other mediums besides markers, or other marker types? The only other marker type I can think of is water-based, and those would be similar to Crayola and those types of brands. I hope this helps!

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

I personally like to make a color card/chart of my markers because it helps to know what they would look like on paper compared to the cap color. Sometimes they're very deceiving! Afterwards, I like to do some exercises like in the video where I blend colors I like together. For the most part, alcohol markers work like normal markers with the exception of the ability to blend. Hopefully this video was able to help you! I also have another video on how to color smoothly with alcohol markers that might help too. Best of luck!

[@Feenix102]

A question for you. How long does it take for markers to dry out? I have some Winsor Newton Promarkers and they don't seem particularly juicy, for want of a better word. Are Copics just naturally wetter? Thank you, and l love your work. :o)

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

Thank you! Copics, in my opinion, don't feel very juicy either, however, perform better with layers. I've been using the artify markers a lot lately, and I believe I reviewed them last year. None of them have dried out yet and they don't come with refills. The one benefit to Copics though is that they have the refill option available, and if I feel like a marker is feeling particularly dry, I'll add some more ink to the marker. Hope this helps a bit!

When you color why your overlap lines dont make the weird stripes with darker tones?? I mean whenever i try to color it would look like a 2nd layer with darker tone :(( Is it bcause my color base is too dark?? Pls let me know senpai ~

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

When I blend the two colors, I make sure the paper is still "wet" from the previous layer of marker. If your paper is still damp, then the marker has an easier time blending and not leaving streaks. I explain a bit more in my "How to Blend with Alcohol Markers (Pt.2)" video if you want to check it out! And as you mentioned before, if you're trying to blend significantly different colors (ex. black and light blue) it will be more difficult to get a smooth blend without a middle tone color. Hope this helps!

No worries! Many people don't have Copics, and I have a very limited supply, so any alcohol marker works with these tips. :)

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

I put the colorless blender after the colors🤦‍♂️

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

There's no issue with that! I think it really just depends on the colors - I find using the colorless blender on darker colors make them look blotchy, but on lighter colors, it works really well!

[@rojematias6253]

Ill watch a full video cuz my markers are alcohol markets called touch fighting

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

I've never heard of that brand before, but I hope the video was helpful!

[@t.pisani8239]

It always looks like the colorless blender makes the colors blotchy. It completely ruins the look to me.

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

I agree, which is why nowadays, I tend to stay away from the colorless blender unless I'm trying to fade into the blank bage :)

So you sat make sure the paper is wet. With what? Alcohol? Water? My pens are not at all wet

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

Hi Judy, please refer to my comment and the next video in this series: "How to Blend with Alcohol Markers Pt.2". I explain this more in detail since many people were confused. :) Hope that helps.

My markers don't blend they just layer

[@SketchingwithRabbits]

If you're using alcohol markers and you're applying it when the marker is still wet, they should blend! However, if you're trying to blend two colors that are difficult to merge (for example, bright red and dark green), then they won't blend easily and will only layer. Hope this helps!

[@user-xt4kq5sf2d]

Thank you!!❤️
