Um I have a question. I was wondering when you make your videos, do you do a voice over when recording yourself color or do you talk like in the actual video? I was wondering cause I wanted to talk in my video just not sure which option was easier to do. 😅 I just want to hear your opinion it.

[@imbetterthanu467]

I really enjoy these marker illustrations. Id love to see more. I enjoy coloring along using my markers. It really helps me understand how colors work and blend together. There aren't many yt channels that regularly do alcohol marker illustrations. Even less that aren't comic or manga styles. I could watch you color objects while describing your color choices and process all day! ❤

[@sofiapavanmacias]

awww thank you so much! I will do more marker videos 💕

[@leelee6850]

I’m so incredibly intimidated by markers but I am determined to learn. This video came right on time and I’m sure I will refer to it more than once. Thank you!

[@sofiapavanmacias]

so glad it was helpful! Definitely give them a try they can be simplified a lot and used in different ways 💕 i also used to find them kind of intimidating!

[@millyscribbles]

What might have helped your peach highlight was to make it soft and fuzzy, just like you did with the dark spots.

[@TangieHenry]

Love, love, love!

BEUAUTUFULLLLL

[@ivyclough8969]

Love love love. I’m always tempted to get my markers out after watching you… but I’m afraid mine will just look silly.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

thank you! This is your sign to give them a try ☺️ no art is silly, I promise!!

[@ivyclough8969]

Ok. I’ll give it a try during our California hurricane :/ thanks

[@sandrarahimi5688]

Thank you for showing the sketchbook you use. I noticed you drew in graphite, but then you snapped your fingers and next shot seemed to be in ink or fineliner. What fineliner do you use? Great press btw and i love your marker illustrations

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Thank you! I used a sakura fine liner, I linked the exact one in the description box :)

[@laurenmichaels9893]

Hi Sophia, I recently started using alcohol markers and I'm having a lot of fun working with these. Do you notice the sketchbook you're using and have listed here tends to bleed with these markers? I'm using a moleskine sketchbook and noticing a lot of bleeding, wondering if a different kind of sketchbook like the one you're using would work better!

[@sofiapavanmacias]

hi! So glad you are having fun with markers! This sketchbook does bleed a little (I feel like all sketchbooks/paper does with alcohol markers) but not that much and especially not as much given I don't do heavy blending and the paper is pretty thick and durable. Hope that helps!

[@marrecacareca2880]

Fantastic....

[@SimplyNeema]

How would you approach full color portraits using this technique? Or is it only suited for monochrome portraits?

[@sofiapavanmacias]

this is a great question! I don't fully know tbh, I need to try it out and I'll let you know ☺️

[@SimplyNeema]

@@sofiapavanmacias ahhhhh that would be AWESOME!!! Your artwork is AMAZING! & I’m learning so much from your videos! Thank you for considering my question and taking the time to respond❤️

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Ahh this is so sweet thank you sm I truly appreciate it 💕

What sketchbook are you using i keep clicking the link and it says it can't be found🥺

[@sofiapavanmacias]

oh no! It's the stillman and birn zeta series sketchbook :) just checked the link and it should be working!

[@BlueMonster-lf5bu]

Can I ask someone. What's all the madness over ohuhu markers. There just markers, not gold. Whys everyone loosing it. There are better ones and cheaper ones ?

[@sofiapavanmacias]

I’m not sure I’m “loosing it” over these markers 😅 but I have found that they’re great quality for a good price point! Do you have any recommendations of other brands you like? I would love to try some more!

[@BlueMonster-lf5bu]

@@sofiapavanmacias so sorry about that. I didn't mean you personally. I just mentioned youtube is going crazy like there the answer to our art problems. There are cheap marker. A nice one but just a marker. My favourite and I've used them since 1994 are speedry magic markers. But the ones I've used a lot are kuretake kurecolor , and old brand but they originally had refills and we're better than copic.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

No worries ☺️ ok will check out these recs, thank you!

[@geraldineconway1865]

Oh no 😢 you don’t deliver to Ireland.

[@sofiapavanmacias]

I'm only doing US delivery at the moment 😭 but for my next shop I'll be doing international delivery 💖
