[@jde7052]

That’s what I was thinking, I was like what even paper are you using because when I used water colors I use paper made for it and I never have that problem with the paper.

[@fandancingangel]

Also for the brush markers dipping the tips really does do wonders- you have to wait (and based on Jazza's reaction to Chameleon he may not like that aspect of it.

To get better results use 1 watercolour paper very inportant 2use water to blend or lighten the colours and don't compare with alcohol based markers since it is a different art media Hope this helps😃😃😃

[@hurmur9528]

He can compare. But he has to compare them as different art media. And there is distinct advantages and disadvantages with both. But the way he did this he compared them using the techniques of alcohol based markes on both and also on paper for alcohol (and that is so dumb when he is saying that the paper will go off, is that for real???). This video is so dumb.

The watercolour paper arent meant to build up a LOT they are supposed to soak it all up.

[@antonetbehr1995]

Agreed. Using water-based markers as though they are watercolours themselves gives a much better result.

[@elizabethstephenson8762]

That's my question!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I have LOVED all the recent marker videos! Thanks for all the work! Using hot press watercolor paper or Bristol will reduce the amount of paper pilling. Also ther waterbased markers with the real brush tips (as opposed to felt tips) are a dream to blend. You only need a small set of say, 24, and you can blend infintly. The Color-it brand even has refills. The Zig clean color markers are the best known brand but there are affordable brands like Arteza that work just as well.

It slightly annoys me that with alcohol markers he uses a colourless blender but with water markers he doesn't use water to blend/soften the colors, also not using water color paper for water based markers.

[@lowochi]

I agree! It annoyed me toooo much :(

[@izzyperkins3312]

Pitahaya Studio well I agree that he should’ve used different paper for the watercolor markers, it’s a trial and error and a place where he could learn. He might’ve wanted to learn it by himself and then if he struggled the next time if he ever did a video on it he would research more or go into the comments

[@flip4v]

Water color paper would have been a no brainer, i assumed he was using it 🤯

[@jjcymbolic]

He literally said to give advice because he is unsure on how to use these markers. It may seem obvious to you and others, but he may not be aware. Perhaps just give the advice and call it good. I'm sure he'd love to try it out.

[@urmom.69420]

Yeah ikr. I also accidentally bought water based markers and when I found out you could blend and soften the colors with water I was overjoyed that I could actually use them for something. You could also put a few lines down on the paper and use a brush with water to spread the color over the whole page for a flat background.

[@Parrot_Nico]

the problem you're having is that you're comparing them to alcohol markers when they more closely resemble the effect of watercolour paints! try using watercolour paper or mixed medium paper instead and approach them as you would watercolours. A good tip could be to have a paintbrush and a glass of water with you so you can blend. TLDR: they act like watercolours in a marker container.

[@ramiyahlee6108]

Yeah that’s exactly what I was going to say.

I just typed a paragraph about this and I saw this and just went OH WELL and stared off into space questioning existence for no reason. But thank you for making me not the only one seeing the possibility for a more fair match

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

the key is letting each layer of colour dry out before applying the next one... it is a waiting game when drawing in the style Jazza has...

[@audreyreeves1906]

I think the reason that you struggled so much was because they require very different techniques. For example, a thicker paper is required for water based markers. It is also helpful to utilize water for different techniques. I often use water to blend and you can get many different shades from one marker from dipping the tip in water or coloring a spot on a separate piece of paper and use it like a water color. Water based markers are helpful for me because they are generally cheaper. It takes some practice and some experimentation but often times water based markers can do similar things to alcohol ones but for half the price.

[@hurmur9528]

I would even say they are a little bit better. But the alcohol ones are easier to start with if you come from schetching with pencils and is not used to watercolors.

[@abc1DiLy]

I'd be interested to see him try one of those brush pens that you fill up with water or even just a painbrush with water. I've got some actual proper watercolour markers and watercolour paper and it works great with them. I don't think it'll leach the colour out like the waterless blender pens but should be a bit smoother than this anyway.

[@greysonlagarde1771]

Personally I like water based markers for quick sketching because the ink doesn’t bleed through the paper like alcohol ink does.

@BashirNG if you need a special paper for alcohol based markers (you do by the way) you should use the preferred paper for water based markers. Makes sense to me

[@CreativeCarrah]

I personally like to use my waterbased markers like watercolor! I usually have a plastic pallet, that I apply the color to first, then I use a paint brush with water (or an aquabrush) and turn it into watercolor. The amount of water, used, will change how light or dark the ink pigment is when you apply it. Another thing you could try is directly drawing on your paper and then apply water to it. I suggest watercolor paper for these techniques though.

I just started using water-based brush markers for coloring.

when i use water based markers with tissue paper and use a different color over the marker (doesn’t matter what color) if i color over the other color enough they can overlay. i only found this with tissue paper probably because of how thin tissue paper is. if you have a thin enough paper you might be able to overlay water based markers

[@laurenlombardi411]

Jazza, to make the water color markers a little bit more usable, you can get water color paper (so that it doesn’t break the fibres of the page) and a water marker so that you can blend them. Also ohuhu has a brand of water color markers. They include a water marker with them in addition to the markers.

Also, you can rub the marker on a ceramic palette and add a teeny bit of water to that and use it with brush to create lighter tones. I know, unconventional....but it is about giving them a best chance. If he did that, he would be able to exactly recreate that electric effect in water base as well.

Some of the water based markers, especially the brush ones, can be blended out with water. This gives a watercolour effect which you can't really achieve with alcohol based markers.

Umm jazza, no offense but u kinda used watercolour too much like alcohol marker. Use water to have similar affect of softness like the Colourless Alcohol marker.

You asked if there is something you were missing Jazza - I was literally screaming, yes Jazza Water! You blend water based marker with water or a blending pen which I believe is also water based, also you have to use the right paper. I love water based markers I have tons of them but my favourites are the Tombow ATB duel tipped brush pens and I use them for calligraphy or any kind of hand lettering.

[@alexstars40]

I own the Tombow brush tip watermarkers and I love them. I don’t own paper for watercolors and it doesn’t destroy too much the fiber of the paper !

Also this was supposed to be a joke. But I didn't like how this video was one sided and not even fair

[@bradleythewitch]

@@sudoo6987 Why are you assuming he would know. Do you also expect him to know which canvas type or gesso is best for oil paints and acrylic? What about which brushes work best natural or synthetic for acrylic? He used the paper he uses for his alcohol markers. If thats the paper he uses in everyday art use, why would you expect him to know that for watercolor stuff paper has to be thicker? While we are at it, the type of watercolor paper needed maybe to expensive to use for the type of work he does.

We need to tell jazza to redo this expirement with water colour paper and use water for blending maybe the results will differ then I saw kasey golden use watercolour markers diffrently where she would colour on a glass surface and pick up the colour with a brush using watercolour u cant do that with alohol markers we need jazza to try that out too

[@Redskid1000]

You can do that with alcohol based markers, you just you isopropyl or rubbing alcohol instead of water.

[@goat6030]

@@Redskid1000 that is true but i mean giving water colour markers a fair chance on the correct paper and showing their full potential may change the results eventhough i doubt they will change the results but i think watercolour markers are nice as a cheap alternate and i dont think this vid did them justice and i mean who wouldnt want to see jazza use watercolour markers to create another master piece

[@xenonica1857]

[@uhhhname2918]

actually the effect that the water-based marker created on the queen's gown is kinda cool... especially on the skirt thing since it was fabric n the skirt is kinda layers on top of each other so there's no need to like have an entirely solid flat color for the skirt thing... and maybe you should work the water based marker the same way you work with watercolor. The result would be so much better.

[@paranoiarpincess]

I not only tend to use water to help me blend my water based markers, (and as everyone is saying, watercolour paper!) but I use rubbing/isopropyl alcohol to help fade and blend alcohol markers. You absolutely can get a gradient with water based markers though. I do it all the time ^-^.

I like waterbased markers for using watercolour techniques without having to get out my paint. I use a waterbrush pen to smooth out the application, of course I use cotton paper to apply them onto. Cellulose paper just can't hold on to water.

[@wallishenderson7382]

Jazza's little message at the end was soooo sweet. He didn't make a big deal about it or even acknowledge that he was doing anything different than he normally would, but the way he delivered the good feels was great. His Montie character is fantastic and warmed my heart the same as all of Jazza's vids. What a legend.

[@barpe4514]

I'm not really surprised that you still prefer alcohol based markers by a lot of you only try the water-based markers the way you normally do. It's like a different medium, so you have do do it differently. It would have been really interesting to see you use both kind of markers how they're supposed to and then compare them!

In Water based markers, you should apply to a pallette and add water!

With water-based markers, often you can use water with them to create a watercolor effect. Also, alcohol markers tend to destroy anything on the other side of the paper

For better colour saturation with the watercolours letting then dry in between layers helps a lot

🤣🤣🤣 Watercolor paper still tears. But handles a little more before it does. The reason it still tears (especially cold press) is because of the textures from the paper, and then the texture from the tip of the marker. Like when you overwork your brush in normal watercolor.

[@ameliajane8355]

Same! You don’t use copics on copy paper, so don’t use water based markers on paper for alcohol based markers!
