[@charliep5991]

A quick tip fir maekers is that if you have a limited selection of colours you can use a grey marker over the top of your colour to creat a darker colour

[@Blick_Art]

The reflections on those berries are just perfect! Heightening the marker with opaque white was a great strategy, and it seems like the white ink didn't re-wet the marker at all! We're impressed!

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Thank you Blick! I love adding highlights- I feel like it ties everything together :)

[@kirstyhumphrey7212]

Thank you for taking the time to share your process and for all the tips! I've always been drawn to marker illustrations but overwhelmed by the idea of blending or just not knowing where to start. I love how you have simplified things and given me courage to have a go!

[@sofiapavanmacias]

love this! thank you for sharing, it makes my day! :)

[@kram9850]

I found 1 sketchbook which doesnt bleed, its not a special no bleed sketchbook, its a amzon sketchboom called "vivalacolour sketchbook" unfornately it only comes in square but this sketchbook suprised me as ive not found a single sketchbook that doesmt bleed other than this one even watercolour 300gsm will bleed through, but i domt know whats special about this one, its not even made for alchohol markers but for wet mediums, gibe it a go if your OCD about using the backside of a page like i am

One came w my cheap alcohol markers that has a plastic backing & i love it so much 😭 says its a Lineon marker pad, 50 sheets 8.27” x 5.9” (210 mm* 150 mm) 60lbs/90gsm if anyone wants a mini rectangular one. I tear 2 sheets out & place them horizontally between my coloring pages :>

This is such a calming and motivating video! I just bought my first set of alcohol markers and this shows some great techniques to think about as a beginner :)

[@filminginc405]

I just started sketching in August of 2022. I moved into using the Ohuhu pretty quickly and I LOVE THEM! I just recently figured out how to use one color and love the layering effect. Thanks for sharing your work! I'm going to try the "strawberry effect" this evening.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

ahhh love this- using just one color with layering has been game changing! would love to see how those strawberries turn out!

[@SezCreate]

100% want to add alcohol markers to my supply stash. I use straight up alcohol ink, but not the markers. Thanks so much for the inspiration

Dear Sofia, thank you for sharing this video! I usually use watercolors. But it was interesting to watch your painting process. It reminds me of my "markers period" which was a few years ago. And greetings from the Netherlands ❤

[@sofiapavanmacias]

thank you for watching! I definitely go through phases with different art materials too :)

[@liutauras8086]

Your voice is soo soothing! It's very relaxing, but not boring, and that acent - ✨️colors✨️ - incredible 😄❤ Also your art and tips - next level! I really thought, as a beginner to art and just received my ohuhu markers thought "I must blend the colors, I will never achieve realism because I don't have that much colors" and you are like "so I used 3 ✨️colors✨️ for this whole drawing, getting it to look picture perfect. So ye, very inspirational!❤

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Thank you so much, this is so lovely! So glad it is helpful too 🥰

[@sofiapavanmacias]

[@lynnbartlett4185]

Your colouring is amazing. I am exhausted by constantly trying to master the blending techniques we are often shown. It was so refreshing to see your approach and that's it's okay not to blend and you can still get brilliant results.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

so glad this was useful for you! Not blending with markers has been a revelation for me :)

[@simplymagic1]

Thank you for the strawberry tutorial. I have never used alcohol markers and your video(s) are a great starting point for me. Your help is appreciated.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

So glad it was useful! ❤️

[@MaddieBee1414]

OBSESSED! ❤️🫶

[@katerinap.5662]

Great tips, I'll give my markers another time. I got the winsor and newton markers, they are great but I also have a limited selection. It's so different than painting with acrylics. I'll try your approach because I also found out that mixing colors of different temperature wasn't a great idea afterall. Plus markerks really do make you think about clear shapes, I use charcoal, pastels and acrylics mostly and I never think much about the sketch and shapes. Thanks again!

[@SearchingforBliss908]

Great video. Love your approach with markers. Thanks for sharing!!😊

The process for the strawberries is amazing. I think I will buy a full set of Ohuhu and replace them with Copic as they get used up, that way I won't be spending money on colours I don't actually use.

[@madeleineaerin]

Gonna try this out ❤

Okay. The strawberries low key blew my mind… cause I thought she was going to go in and blend before the white detail and they really do look realistic… mind blown

Hello, I love the effects you achieve with markers. Oh...for the issue with the bleed through, they have an plastic cover page to put in between your work to protect the next page, or I just tear out the first page and place it in between each page as I go. Keep up the good work!

RENDR sketchbooks/media by Crescent is what I use for most of my pen and ink or marker work. Zero bleed through :)

[@shrug_shrugsly]

It would be cool if we could also see the same reference picture you are using. The biggest lesson is in how to relay contour with light. You are talented at showing the light, but it's harder for us to see what you are mirroring when looking at what you are drawing. if that makes sense. it's like us trying to do a copy of a copy, when we could be following along with you and trying to copy the original via your instruction.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Hi Sara! I began playing with markers a few years ago and from what I can remember I used some youtube videos and a lot of trial and error, but I stopped using them and have only just reconnected with them in the past few months. Because I don't do tons of blending I don't find that I'm seeking out tutorials anymore and I tend to just experiment and play with them! I think in these two ohuhu sets I have about 100 markers!

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Ahh thank you sm ☺️ i’ve actually never used copic markers before so I can’t compare, but I have found ohuhu markers to be just as good quality as other brands I’ve tried
