I noticed an uptick in sales, so I came to KZbin to investigate, haha. Thank you so much for trying the sketchbook and sharing with others! Your spread looks so fun and whimsical. Such fun shapes, as always! ^_^

Whoaaa, your sketchbook looking so Cute and adorable, Im intrigued ! now I need to visit your channel and Store to know more about them ❤️🥰

You stand corrected

[@MirandaPurpleClouds]

True

[@ellespoonies]

I think the reason your liners are smudging is because you use your markers like watercolor. Usually smudge resistant liners are not smudge resistant in the same way you think of with watercolor, where you can rub and layer and pool ink as much as you want without it lifting. You’re technically supposed to move in quick, almost stripes of motions rather than small circles where you wait for the ink to gather like you would with watercolor. With copic, you actually want as little ink on the page as you can, you just want to be sure that each stroke touches the last so that it doesn’t come out streaky. Each layer should be as thin as possible, and you build color by layering rather than by adding more ink to your initial layer or going over your strokes again before it dries.

[@LysLovesAlpacas]

baylee’s products are always GORGEOUS, she outdid herself with these sketchbooks. she works so hard she will never cease to amaze me!

[@theleftydragon28]

The sketchbooks are so cute, especially the little mushroom patterns on the first pages (these literally make me so happyyy), and I think your spread is pretty cool as well. I honestly don't really use alcohol markers myself, though I'd say you did well :) Also, sort of unrelated to this video, though I want to thank you for not only getting me into watercolor, but more serious (?) art as a whole. I think I started watching your videos three, maybe four years ago, and yeah. Like, I seriously don't know where I'd be now if I hadn't gotten into these things, so again, thank you

[@chocco_catt]

what a nice comment 😊

[@theleftydragon28]

@@chocco_catt Aw, thanks!

[@sazzle312]

The copic liners always smudge for me, but the sakura pigma liners don't, especially the Brown ones because they don't muddy up the colour if they do smudge. Also I found liners need at least an hour, preferably 12 hours to dry... ALSO i NEED this sketchbook but the cream is sold out and shipping is outrageous

[@blackdemonheart9696]

Yeah the shipping was a little off putting but I’m sure there is a good reason like the speed is probably fast. It’s just I don’t want to pay for half the cost of the product on shipping..

[@sazzle312]

@@blackdemonheart9696 it said 75 days for me. But I can't really blame the seller; overseas shipping from America is always expensive. If anything 17 dollars is cheap, since illo's cheapest option is 55 dollars for example.

[@recoveringsoul755]

The point of Copics is that they blend, so the fine liners would smear. Use the liners last would be all I can say. Still bleeds through the paper here so I'd avoid them unless you only want to use every other spread. I suppose you could use collage or gouache on the backside

[@sazzle312]

@@recoveringsoul755 I've honestly never had issues with copics smudging my microns once they had properly dried. The bleeding through the paper will happen in almost all sketchbooks though. The best solution is keeping a piece of parchment or plastic between the pages so you only waste one page.

[@saragruber1019]

She ships from Canada, I'm guessing that increases the shipping price.

[@jdk2535]

i actually shrieked when i saw this, ive been watching baylee for Years so this is a very exciting crossover for me

[@HeyImNicku]

You can tell there really was a lot of love and care put into these products!! Ive never had an embroidered sketchbook!

[@benipray]

I love this spread!! Also I'm really really appreciating the non-speedpaints drawing videos

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Thank you!! I’ve been enjoying them as well!

[@EmilyArts]

I made a video on Baylee s sketchbooks too! And they’re absolutely amazing! 😄 they take all mediums really well so if anyone is looking for a mixed media sketchbook Baylee s are the way to go. Also the square format is perfect and just like illo sketchbooks 💕

[@beesquestionmark]

With copic fine liners, you need to wait at least like an hour. Sometimes a half hour will do, but for the best results I don’t even erase the pencil lines until at least an hour after lining. Then they don’t smudge at all :)

[@_.-._.-.]

7:31 best way I keep from smudging is waiting a while for the lineart to fully dry. sometimes a few hours. but then again that might just be my excuse for getting distracted by things xD

[@trying2smilehere]

the mushroom witch reminds me of kinoko komori. and this doodle, I so love it!

[@eddienickshepherd9601]

When you use copics I usually like to color first and then do lineart, it doesn’t smudge and you can get better blending in when you don’t have to tip toe around the black ink.

[@shemer00]

[@dxmkrew]

[@saveyourmachine]

I don't get along well with the Copic liners either, as long as you're using just alcohol markers and not doing mixed media I suggest a water-based liner instead. Papermate Flair works great, or there's usually some cheap felt-tip options available at the dollar store. I mostly use a Pilot Precise retractable pen. Works way better and so much cheaper!

[@animalz55]

i think you are supposed to do liner last since alcohol markers blend alcohol markers. That said, I forget every single time I grab for mine rip.

[@animelady001]

Typically I use Pigma Micron liners for alcohol based markers. They don't smudge (as long as you let them dry), and you can find them in different colors. The liners that come with certain alcohol based markers don't really do them justice.

[@ReptarsaurusRex]

I have the Daisy white sketchbook and I love it 😊. I used watercolor, colored pencils, and gouache on the same piece already. And of course Copic markers too. I think the key to not smudging fineliners is to either not color over the lines and just go around the lines, or if you do go over the line, hold the marker very lightly and don't press hard. Also kinda obvious but light colored markers make the smudging more apparent, so when I use light color markers I try to go around the lines more. Darker colors are more forgiving. Hope this helps! I love using alcohol markers.

[@juanaperez8330]

What’s the pencil that you’re using?

[@YaburuRunyaru]

"Small up-and-coming artist" lol for a minute I thought you were serious XD

[@KaseyTheGolden]

[@user-cherry7]

Try ohuhu fineliners, THEY ARE LIKE SO GOOD FOR ALCOHOL MARKERS. Better than copic multiliners and micron, i never expected a cheap company would beat the top dogs. The design of them are sorta eh but they are too good for alcohol markers not to love

[@Dragondude2525]

Maybe it’s the paper? I’ve literally used Copic liners and copic marker right over top within 1 minute of putting down my line art and it really depends on the paper. The bee company marker sketchbook paper you can go from inking to colouring in like 1 minute and there’s zero smudging.
