Hi 😊, I am glad it helped 😊

[@qwmx]

THANKYOU! I spent so much time figuring out blending that I began to wonder if I even knew the results I was meant to look for (look at the softness of the edges between the colour changes). I've also began using Mingyun brand of alcohol markers and a few times began wondering if it's them, but I had to remind myself that I got the exact same results with copies, so I knownit was my skill, most of the time. This tutorial has just reassured me that it's 100% my skill and my investment for a cheaper pack of markers is worth it and I do know what to look for in blending. Also I love how for the Overlay part, you demonstrated how to make the blend look less splotchy and more like a two very far off shade of the same colour look more airbrushed at the edges, which is one of my issues with blending.

Wow cool also You should do "how to draw highlights and shadows"

[@kashjs]

Personally i wouldn't do the tip to tip because it might ruin the tip of the lighter marker, but the rest are really good and helpful!!💖

Welcome 🤗

[@robsmoviecollection3715]

Wow. That was incredibly helpful and clear. I just got a set of markers to try for the first time and even though I'm already an artist, I'm brand new to these so this video helped a lot. Straight to the point and clear thank you.

[@dchurch2012]

Excellent demonstration! The sharpies blended much better than I would have expected. I've never tried tip to tip; that really results in a smooth transition 😊

[@StarBoundFables]

My grandma was walking about the house & stopped to watch the whole video! She said it was very interesting I played some 'hang drum' music in the background while watching which made it even more enjoyable. The playlist's called 'Hang Drum Chill' on Spotify & that particular drum's 1 of my fav instruments

[@reniequan6849]

[@brif5777]

I have seen this demonstration before but for some reason, I couldn't understand it. I have no idea why. However, the way you explained it suddenly made sense to me. So, thank you for this explanation. I'm very new to alcohol markers, so any information I can find is helpful. Happy coloring from Phoenix, AZ. 🤗❤️

Thanks for the video. Do you have a video on lighting for labs in the shadows such as TVs

[@bampidraws]

Thank you so much for the video. By using one colour on top of another does it not ruin the marker?

Thanks for the great tutorial. I have the Ohuhu chisel tip and love them. I really like the tip to tip blend :)

[@bampidraws]

Have you ever used alcohol blending solutions? If so can you recommend a good one please?

[@claudinha8864]

Thank you for this video 👍🏻 I love how you explain it ❤ What do you think about the Touch New markers? I just bought the 60 pieces kit (it comes with 3 gel pens and a couple of fine liners) and I feel like the alcohol content is really high. But I don’t really have any other brand to compare it to bc this is the first time I use this kind of markers.

[@cloudyskies_playz]

whoever needs this: dont be afraid to get your sheet a bit wet with ink as long as you dont tear your paper! the wetness of it helps blend :)

I have a different brand of markers and the instructions told me to use the blender marker included, any idea on how to make my blends like that with Shuttle Art brand markers?

[@marionb6154]

Great, thank you 🙏

[@Nightmare_girlnight]

Tysm for this tutorial! Would you recommend kinds of paper? If you could because I need paper that will work with the markers

[@HowtoDrawwithLela]

The marker paper I use the most is the X-Press It Blending Card Paper. You can find it on Amazon. I've heard cardstock paper is a good cheaper alternative, but I haven't tested any cardstock paper with alcohol markers just yet. Aside from that, the Ohuhu Sketchbook is pretty good too.

[@catlover44_A]

for the copic marker nib, is it possible to fix the nib after blending it with another colour? cuz the nib is half light blue and the tip of the nib is dark blue now 🥲 if possible, could you tell me? 🙏🙏 thanks!

I had to look it up, but apparently you should only use alcohol markers on paper that is labeled "for marker" or "for ink and pen"? I've been using mixed media paper.

[@lunalovegoodwitch]

Interesting but the Sharpie markers are not alcohol-based

[@blancaalves8250]

@lunalovegoodwitch You are mistaken. Sharpies are indeed alcohol based.

[@Oozaru85]

The blending looks horrible, honestly. Not sure if it's the Ohuhu paper or the colors you picked to blend together. It's definitely not the markers. However, I'm using the A3 marker pad from Ohuhu, so the bigger version of the one you have. And I have no issues getting smooth blends even with my cheap Chotune brush markers. I have to pick the colors right, tho. They can't be too far apart or have too big of a brightness difference. The paper doesn't seem to be able to handle that. It's not the best paper for markers, imo. I personally prefer the Luma Marker Paper and the Deleter Comic Book Paper for better blending. On the Ohuhu paper I only do the base layers with markers, (plus easy basic blends) then color the rest with pencils. The Ohuhu paper feels like ordinary cardstock, not a very good quality marker paper imo.

[@gargichauhan8512]

How I just wanna know how you know what I need to know

[@milkteaforever4254]

Looks like CaliArt blends better than ohuhu

[@annamarielewis7078]

I’m very disappointed with my ohuhus. The caps don’t come close to matching the colors.
