For the markers: those markers seemed pretty bad because they were overfilled so they bled through easily, though I think the paper you used wasn’t ideal because it’s best to use smooth paper for markers. Also note that markers aren’t usually used to make realistic pieces, but rather more cartoonish styles

[@caamileon]

thank you for the tips 🫡

[@properantagonist]

They can totally be used for realism, but you need some skill with blending. But there are definitely easier ways of doing realism XD

[@robinbilly7273]

Be careful with the gel pens, it erase by applying heat (friction between the paper and the eraser), in France we can't use them for exams because if the teacher let them in their car in the heat for exemple, everything disappears ! So if you want a durable drawing or notes, don't use them, but you can use them to do a sketch, then ink everything and heat the drawing with a hairdryer ✨

[@Auxiliooo]

in case ur wondering how the pens work, the ink is made so that when it heats up, it disappears. when you rub off the ink with the little bump, the kinetic energy produces heat and makes it disappear.

[@caamileon]

[@derbunstm2191]

​@@caamileon it also seems like you can make it appear again if you put them in the freezer

[@pissum420]

For anyone curious, erasable pens involve an ink that goes invisible with heat. The rubber causes friction which creates heat. That’s why the tips page had a thermometer. My guess is the people that got pens that don’t work is because the in, got way too hot. You can sometimes put them in the freezer to fix that. If you write with an erasable pen and stick it in the freezer it kinda comes back as well.

[@vaelia1203]

it's also possible that they just didn't remove the protections for the tips of the pen which happens to way too many people (usually after a little bit you realize but there are people who don't have the patience or spirit to find out).

@@vaelia1203 yeah that too but it’s good to understand how these pens work so if there’s issues you know why. Major examples is my ma forgot her pens in her car….we live in Arizona. It got up to 120 that day and now her pens no longer work.

[@pissum420]

@@UnderTheMoon3 it’s a cool way to do “secret” messages of sorts. Also if you don’t want to risk ripping your paper up as sometimes the rubber nibs do that, you can just use a blow dryer though it’s a bigger surface area. Just don’t be like me and forget the pen you wrote in is erasable and set hot food on your note book.

we love u camileon ❤️ also, erasable pens typically work because the rubber erasers generate friction/heat as you rub across the paper! erasable pen ink typically is heat activated, so when you rub on the paper (and generate small amounts of heat from the friction) they erase!!

[@iota14thmoon]

[@caamileon]

Exactly

[@properantagonist]

You should generally use either mixed media paper or dedicated marker paper for alcohol markers! They don't really work as well on any other paper, in a way they're similar to watercolours as you've observed. I've heard they can also work well on parchment/deli paper, and that would also be a cheap option. For blending, you have to go over the colours a bunch of times, that's why you need sturdy paper.

[@rebelliouscottoncandy]

Came for the reviews, stayed for the vibes, subscribed for the art.

[@rat_in_a_bucket]

6:58 I used to have these markers! I had a 120 pack. Most of them were indeed grey (I did get quite a few purples as well. The colour I had the least amount of, was orange. It had standard orange and a slightly darker orange, but that was it). They work pretty well, but don't blend, since they dry quickly. Because they dry quickly, when colouring, you have to be fast, or else you will have some ugly lines going through your drawing. They're not that great for detailing, but rather just flat colour. They also bleed quite a lot. After using them, you will learn better techniques of using them. Basically, when using them, be quick and you'll also have to go over the same spot several times to keep it wet and make it all one solid colour. After using them for years, I learnt to leave a slight gap around where I wanted them to go, since they bleed and will fill in that gap (idk if that makes sense???) There are a lot of markers like those ones, that are called 'touch____', with a different word at the end. Weird, but they all work the exact same.

In the end you don't end up saving anything if you buy "cheap" art supplies that only last for one work unless you plan on doing just one work.. You are gonna have to buy good quality anyways on top of the crap that you will have to throw out and generate plastic waste and waste of shipping. So just buy the better quality if you plan on using it more than once, it's worth it and it will save your nerves too :)

[@wikia9278]

the gel pen's ink can be erased because it reacts to heat. when you scrub the eraser, its friction heats up the ink and removes it.

You definitely went easy on the art supplies lol 😆 I would definitely rank them lower bc they probably won't last too long, the first one was already running out of color, even if it's cheap, I don't think it's worth it, but you definitely made the best of it with your technique. They are okay, a solid 3, at least for me.

[@stupidArtKid_]

I work primarily in alcohol markers, and they come in that weird variety of colors because they want you to buy the bigger sets 😋 the first set I ever got when I was around 12 literally had no red😧 like none it was annoying because I remember having to layer the brighest pink and then orange until I got a somewhat reddish color. also to blend them you have to make sure you add your second color while the first one it still wet, or else it's just gonna spread and push the first color away and make that weird look you were struggling with🩷

[@ghoulchan7525]

it also helps if you have the colorless blender to put down a wet layer first then quickly use the shades you want to blend. and sometimes you can rewet the area with it too.

[@julesmcmules]

[@glm_9555]

I prefer brush tips for alcohol markers, it makes blending easier and just gives smoother experience. BUT alcohol markers in my experience is usually paired with other tools like pencil colors or pastels. I usually use them for the background color so i can add into the coloured part

[@thecroissantthatslays]

15:38 the style! It’s crazy how different art supplies can totally affect how you draw!

[@LatonaHQ]

Gel Ink pens "erase" their ink by applying heat with friction from the eraser. The ink turns clear with heat. Put ice or an ice pack on the disappeared ink and it'll probably show up again. :)

[@articice3184]

heads up, if a post says "comission paid" its just cause its on their tiktok shop, not that theyre getting paid to review them or promote them

[@Mafka6932]

The erasing of the pen works from heat from rubbing the rubber (lol) against paper. That’s why it doesn’t work when you try to slowly erase like you do with pencil

[@Kalani_Saiko]

This, I use those types of pens all the time (more for writing than drawing, mind you) and never had an issue erasing them on most papers. You also need to wait for the ink to dry before erasing or it will smudge.

I have those markers but with a like 150 pack and they dry out really quickly. To help stop the excessive bleeding I find it helpful if you just use them really lightly and quick for the smaller details. Also to blend you kinda have to keep going over and over the colors causing them to bleed together and blend! Overall I really enjoyed this video, and I would love to see you try out better alcohol markers in the future!

[@Devils-advocate78]

Every single issue your having with the alcohol markers is because of the paper your using, not the pens. I’ve got some of these n I really like them. I have copics too and have hardly touched them since I got these. I’ve got the biggest set which I think is 160 Pens and then a 48 pack. My issue with these is the mis labelling and inconsistency of the colours. I’ve got Pens in each set that are numbered and named the same but are completely different colours inside. Other times the numbers will match but the names are different and then vice versa aswel. It’s a shame because I have no complaints about them other than this and tbh for the price I paid (the massive set was free from TEMU for playing the fish game and the smaller set was from TikTok and cost me £2) I really can’t moan

[@camilaluzette6385]

The fact people think some markers/pens etc are bad is wild and I can agree if I saw it for myself honestly but I did get a pack of makers on Amazon idk the price anymore bc am forgetful but one just ONE marker came in just dead flat dead didn’t work at all so I got rid of it. Others worked fine 🤞hopefully I didn’t misplace my money on crappie makers…. I WANNA DRAW MEN.

[@michalmachart]

I just found your channel randomly, and I wanted to let you know that I experienced the same existential crisis in design school. The assignments were ridiculous, bizarre, and seemingly meaningless. I enjoyed art and was good at it, but eventually I came to a point where I realized that design and art work is not for me, especially if it was going to resemble what we did in classes. Basically, my heart really desired to learn and do hard things (even if it was less "fun"). I'm not saying this is you, but I've been in your position before. In the end, I switched to mechanical engineering. It's like design- you still have to create to overcome problems, but the work is so much more rewarding and applicable. I'm not saying design work is not valuable, but if you're struggling with finding value with art, I would attempt to create for a different (potentially more physical, mechanical, dynamic) purpose. Mechanical Engineering is extremely difficult and it is not the walk in the park that design was- but I actually use what I'm learning irl and the way I perceive the world is changing because I'm starting to understand more of how things work. All I'm saying is that the designer to engineer pipeline exists 😎. You got this.

[@michalmachart]

Thank you so much for highlighting the comment! That's so sweet 😊. As a P.S. my comment was meant to encourage you wholeheartedly!! Here's a final thought: as an engineer, or other technical student, it would also be possible to graduate, but then decide to become a designer professionally. However, it wouldn't really be possible to go the other way (graduate designer, try to get an engineering job). This is just a little message to say "Try something new if you're feeling stuck!" 💖

[@clairevanloon2]

love it. about hose alcohol markers, you should try it with special alcohol marker paper. it'll work way better

[@Nico-ef3ic]

For anyone thinking of getting the grabie paint markers, i would recommend NOT getting them. My issues with them: -I've noticed the color tends to separate? Idk how to describe it, but the color will be inconsistent. Like, I was coloring with a light purple once, and I noticed waaaay too late that the color of the ink had changed while I was using it? I had to give it a good shake before it changed back to its initial shade. Honestly, sometimes even when I give the pen a shake, it'll still come out inconsistent, and I have to repeat the process tons of times to get it to work. This happens at anytime, whether I'm in the middle of using them or haven't used them in awhile. Doesn't matter. - the tips dry out way too easily. I'm constantly having to pump the pens. I'm not sure if there is something going on with the material of the tip or if maybe these pens just have awful ink flow?? Either way, it makes for a very frustrating experience. -they do not layer well. I don't know why they struggle to layer, but I've found I can barely add a second layer. All in all, I've seen very mixed reviews across the board. Some really like these paint makers and have a *fantastic* experience with them. Others do not (like me). This makes me think there may be some inconsistency in production and very poor quality control issues. Honestly, I'd recommend saving your money for another paint marker and skip over these :/

The markers from tik tok almost look like the same exact brand that is usually sold at ROSS omg. They're not the best but are good for quick art/sketch, or blocking in large colors and such. Blending is like non existent but, when its the only thing you can afford, work with what you have right? I used them a lot in late middle school all throughout high school. I usually see them selling in bulk for like 14.99$ at ROSS so if you can't afford copic markers, I think they're an okay-ish alternative, just definitely not the best.
