Mike Lin: How to draw a tree with markers

[@skyesnowflakes]

You make it look so easy

[@ScheherazOdd]

I honestly wish you could have seen my face while watching this video! I have been struggling with learning to use markers for YEARS, and you make it look so easy that it was almost painful to watch! ;)

Megan Coyle One of my specialties is to simplify the technique so I call tips or tricks. No wonder over 1/4 million people have gone to my workshop and loved the experience. Hope you will join us someday, or at least go to our site and join it at www.beloose.com.

Mike Lin Unfortunately, I am bed-bound due to chronic illness, so I can't go to workshops or art classes. I teach myself through books, KZbin videos like yours, and by studying other artists' work. I *will* check out your website, though! I'm always up for learning new techniques and tricks when it comes to art! If you want to, you can see some of my art here: facebook.com/meganecoyleart

[@SOULarLioness]

The tree just MATERIALIZED onto the page! Lol. That was amazing and what a beautiful, quick process!

[@belooselin]

***** Indeed, if one does well, the result can be like watercolor technique and much easier to apply.

[@PennyAnte-nz4ob]

You ARE amazing! I love markers but have always struggled on how to use them ESPECIALLY with a blender. I love this dreamy water color look. Thank you for this video and you're easy and understandable method.

[@gee355Art]

Thanks for sharing! I like your use of a wide range of colour, not just greens and Browns.

[@belooselin]

gee massam Art Indeed, we human sees 7 colors for sun (rainbow) on every object, therefore when render a drawing, you should color it like what you see, so you need to apply more than one color for every object. Especially color trees, I also use 3 light colors on top of it to express the light.

[@gee355Art]

Yup, i try to, especially when painting! Thanks for the reply - i might try and apply this more to my marker work... :D

[@dianecharest8365]

Wow you are amazing Mike. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I'm so glad I just found you. I will be sure to be watching.

[@sweetvioletstar]

[@belooselin]

[@discountoppa2447]

dang he was just slapping the colors on and BAM it was perfect, wish i could do that

[@stephibarra2530]

You are the most straightforward Bob Ross yet.

[@3506987]

def gifted artist. Gods. blessings

[@estelladee]

Amazing!!! I was searching on how you could use the blender. Thank you. I never thought of using it that way.

[@belooselin]

Estella Dee Use of blender in marker is like the use of water in watercolor. You can't paint watercolor without a cup of water, so does the marker without colorless blender.

[@ilikecopic7199]

bruh i just learned how to use the blender after 2 years of anime designing with copics

[@Aynemai]

Please can tell me how to use it please reply back bro

[@misspeppermint5142]

wow, this was really great please post more videos if you get a chance

[@bellaleonzio2925]

This man is amazing I would love to meet him ♥️♥️

[@lemillion347]

It would be amazing if he starts posting again at least

[@dulcetpine]

@humcoronado no they aren't. Those are Charpak markers, which are alcohol based (hence the smell). They blend much better than prisma color and have a better color selection, in my opinion. I prefer to use a tablet and color in the pc, but the techniques are the same.

[@CourtChappOfficial]

What are these markers called? I am studying landscape architecture at university Manchester, England. Thanks

[@lunanegrete1]

Courtney Chappell he put it in his description box

[@RDanteRR]

Wowww😨😵 You are impressive !!!

[@belooselin]

Rosalie Rossier You mean my hand? Thanks for your kind words. I only draw more and made more mistakes to be better today.

[@guitarlovelock2251]

Thank you~ It's really helpful..Hope you have more video for using markersXD

[@belooselin]

Guitar Lovelock I will try to put out more in this area soon. Visit our site at www.beloose.com for others.

[@सार्वजनिकउत्सवमंडळशिवसेनाशाखार]

[@rp9arts]

Feeling it easy now. thank you

[@cigdemgez6136]

which paper are you using? Thats best strong paper i ever seen :o

[@belooselin]

I feel the Chartpak brand lasts longer and blends better with much better sequence of colors. The prices are about the same. If you join our web site at beloose.com, you will receive more tips and tricks of graphics periodically. Thanks.

[@HauntedCicadaSongs]

This was so helpful, thank you!

[@lelearch804]

so beautiful 😍😍

[@ravonthewitch]

Ok, my dad and me have been artists for years and have been using chartpak markers for years and we never figured out how to properly use the blender because we never thought of putting it on the paper first before the marker......

[@LandscapeArchitectureTV]

Thanks for sharing. Just added to Landscape Architecture TV.

[@manthasagittarius1]

Beautiful simplicity.Excuse me, for i have little experience-- but why are some people saying this artist is too rough on his markers? Please explain.

[@vessicagames147]

manthasagittarius1 i think it’s due to him kinda throwing his markers as he’s done using them. Other people would slowly cap them and place them because they are so expensive. They can be $8 per marker.

[@Brodemir]

I have the whole collection of 130 and my life has not changed yet, but it will once I learn to use them ;)

[@juliannesarts2054]

Lovely video!

[@belooselin]

Juliannes Arts Thanks. Please visit our web site at www.beloose.com for more.

[@ItzelARR]

this is so amazing

[@belooselin]

I used Chartpak Markers with Borden Riley Paper #100S marker paper. It is on Xylene base and blends well. If you join our web site at beloose.com, you will receive more tips and tricks of graphics periodically. Thanks.

[@TheIncredibleEgg]

Is the first transparent pen you use some sort of blender? im sitting her with a set of color markers and have no idea how to use them. Thanks for the vid!

[@scarlettpoisons3620]

its a colorless blender

[@ayayurihinata]

Beautiful, sir..

[@MissAnnaik]

Pretty amazing...

[@belooselin]

I used Borden Riley Paper #100S marker paper.

[@RobinHood-hk5dk]

Excellent technique

[@chuckarcher3699]

what kind of paper is used? for me, paper sold as marker or even Bienfang sets in too much and bleeds, the Canson marker is pretty good. But my tree, after many attempts looks like a blob of color or spots that didn't blend. Help please!

[@dlauradg]

What kind of paper should I use? Which one do you recommend?

[@onyana]

Wow that's so helpful! Thank you so much :)

[@MyMeloXD]

It says Chartpak brand markers in the desc. :)

[@belooselin]

Yes indeed. If you join our web site at beloose.com, you will receive more tips and tricks of graphics periodically. Thanks.

[@KOXLX]

good technique! what type of paper is?

[@oneiione]

Probably marker paper. Markers don't soak into this paper as much so even though it is thin the marker doesn't bleed through (unless you supersaturate the paper with markers, of course), and they have it at a lot of art stores. A good brand is Canson if you are looking to buy some.

[@belooselin]

KOALA It is by Borden Riley 100S for markers. A good marker paper is made to take markers in vivid colors (unlike trace paper) but doesn't breed like xerox paper.

[@yadirasanchez312]

Lovely tree

[@Pranjal.parmar]

what's the name of the marker which u used here

[@belooselin]

I use Borden Riley Paper 100S. It is made for markers. You may join us at beloose.com for more information.

[@sweetmint9644]

omg! i love it!

[@belooselin]

Sweetmint Thanks. Please visit www.beloose.com for more.

[@dairmonet9657]

el chartpack tiene que secar para la siguiente capa pq pasa q se seca si se aplica cuando aun esta humedo

[@missmusic881]

This is really skillfull are u an illustrator or something?

[@0anlui0]

wow :) I like this.

[@rayrodriguez6570]

Amazing !!

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

wow very helpful thanks

[@EricTran360nosescope]

i dont know where to buy these markers :( someone gave me a couple and i fell in love! the problem is the stores micheals and hobby lobby dont hold them... im trying to avoid buying them online

[@xXSpaceCowsXx]

are you using bleed proof paper?

[@verenissemaldonado2471]

Good work... could you please say what kind of market is it thank you..

[@ZOBEeboz]

Verenisse Maldonado they are called chartpak

[@verenissemaldonado2471]

Thank you!

[@belooselin]

Verenisse Maldonado Indeed it is by Chartpak Company from east coast in Mass. It is made out of Xyene agent so last much longer than other brands. Also Xyene blends better, the result doesn't show stripes as much.

[@guessgirlshelley]

What medium is in your markers? Beautiful job! Thank you!

[@lizzarto]

alcohol base I think

[@belooselin]

Shelley Ryan Chartpak markers.

[@HabituallyTireed]

How tight is your grip ?

[@ИринаКрагель-д1э]

Господи! Какое чудо!!!

[@esmaelhouche3191]

please which markers are you using ???

[@lizispotato9967]

He just threw the markers at the paper and a tree appeared. Wizardry. Very cool technique tho!!

[@MrSanteeclaus]

in the words of Bob Ross....these are some happy fucking trees

[@anothermadgirl]

I feel like if I buy those marker pens, my life will change

[@cocobug00]

Could you do the same thing with Copic Markers? :)

[@belooselin]

Chloe Dunham Yes, but Chartpak lasts longer and blends better. Copic is a good brand, may be bit more expensive than Chartpak.

[@CraftyKazzaH]

cool tree :o)

[@belooselin]

CraftyKazzaH Thanks and please visit our site at www.beloose.com for more tips.

[@nhunglee0lawyer]

excuse me, can you tell me the first marker you use in the beginning of your video ?

[@FartMangler]

Sry for waiting 3 years but there ad chartpak markers (oil based)

[@miriamsanjuan6205]

what kind of paper did you use sir?

[@belooselin]

made by Borden Riley Paper Co. #100S

[@danl.2626]

Absolutely beautiful. Though I personally feel the pencil work was a bit redundant

[@belooselin]

Haotian Liu A good marker rendering can achieve the result like Watercolor look. May not be as close, but surly a easier technique than watercolor.

[@Zhonguoria]

What is colorless marker for?

[@moniquesullivan1969]

it makes the paper wet so it is easier to blend the colors together and smooth out the edges

[@林玉菁-c6o]

請問這種筆在台灣可以買得到嗎？是什麼畫筆呢？

[@Tetro-onYT]

I have been drawing with marker for 6 year an di still haven't know how to draw a realistic one

[@Shulle]

What is the name of these markers?

[@miriamarndt]

what did you put first?

[@dinamerzeban2433]

it is a blender. a colorless pen that wets the paper so colors blend together when you put them before it dries

[@s3bbe1337]

Nice!

[@igorbagr]

what lightfastness markers?

[@belooselin]

Igor Bagrincev I know there is a Lightfast (last longer) color pencil by Prismacolor, but I am not aware of it in markers.

[@fgtortiz1]

Wow!!!!! ❤️
