Streak-Free Water Based Marker Application for Adult Coloring Books / Doodle Robot

[@doodlerobot42]

Note: It wasn't clear in the video, but you want to test your paper for pilling. This won't work on the kind of paper that pills.

[@JojozaHannaHawaii]

I feel attacked. I test. Directly on the page I’m doing and with no way to correct it. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@doodlerobot42]

Lol. You're awesome!! I was teasing a little, but lady I love your style!!! ✊👊 You do you boo. 👍🤓

[@ambient_landscapes]

Thank you 🙏 now I know when to.use water based marker: double sided books. Can't wait to try this out.

[@doodlerobot42]

Glad to hear it. I have my fingers crossed that it goes well for you. MTFBWY.

Thanks Doodle, will try and wait longer between coats. Very helpful.

[@doodlerobot42]

My pleasure. Happy coloring. 👽🖖

[@crazy4colors534]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and learned so much!! I hate those darn streaks now I know how to fix them. I took notes also! Lol

[@doodlerobot42]

I hope this will work for you.👍🤓 You took notes - how adorable you are! 🥰 Good luck and happy coloring!! 👽🖖

[@yazosoyo]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing your techniques!

[@doodlerobot42]

I hope you will be able to use it. Thank you for stopping by. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you! You know it seems like something we should know if we use water based markers at all, but we just don’t think about it. I have been struggling a bit but I still love the water based markers. Thanks for shedding some light on the issues. I will try this.

[@doodlerobot42]

I hope it works out for you. Do let me know. Happy coloring Tammy!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Wow awesome tips !! Many things i never knew or thought about . My favortie tip was the lines coloring, and to color jaggedy! Im guilty of coloring in a way that creates lines, especially with my crayola supertips

[@doodlerobot42]

Thank you. I hope you have an awesome weekend. :)

[@onaghs]

I've been using Tombow's to colour my own (amateur) comic book, and this was the big problem I was having. All of my big spaces looked streaky. Very happy I found your video. A simple, effective lesson. Thanks.

[@doodlerobot42]

I am glad to hear I could help. I hope it works out for you!! 🤍👍🖖👽

[@valerieb8006]

The blending tip was a duh moment for me. I think "i should have known that" 😄I do now and won't forget... I'm saving this video! I like to use water based markers but have only used Crayola supertips. I like them! I bet i will like them even more now! I'm eager to do some testing on papers and find out what i can do. Thank you, thank you!!👍😍

[@doodlerobot42]

Thank you. I am glad I was helpful. 👍🤓 I should think your crayolas would work well. As an art teacher, I have a high opinion of crayola. Let me know how it goes for you. 👽🖖

[@Victoriacolouringquest]

Thank you so much for this vid, i love my water-based markers but don't always love the streaks

[@doodlerobot42]

Thank you for stopping by. I hope it works out for you. Happy coloring. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@mar09435]

THANK YOU so much! I bought a 100 set and hated it but now with your teaching I will get them out of the "hole".

[@doodlerobot42]

Hahaha. Glad to hear it. I hope it works out for you. A note though: they don't work on all paper. Some papers just pill right away. I just ran across that in my Occult and Folklore book. Happy coloring. 🤍🖖👽

[@lindaverkade438]

Hi Doole Robot! Thank you for this lesson. I only use waterbased markers for tiny spaces, because of the streaks. So i don’t use them verry much, wich is a pitty because i have a couple of verry nice big sets. I am going to try this out! I hope it wil become nice like yours…Thank you!

[@doodlerobot42]

Excellent!! I hope this works out for you because if you have nice big sets... It's a shame to just have them sitting there. Let me know how it goes. Happy coloring!! 👍🤓👽🖖

[@lindaverkade438]

Oh my gosh! There’s hope for my Lulu Mayo books yet! THANK YOU

👍🤓 Glad to hear that. I have not tried water based markers in them yet. Let me know how it goes. 🖖👽

Exactly my thought

[@LeAllysonMeyer]

Thanks a bunch! I am looking forward to trying this.

I am glad to hear that. Happy coloring. :)

Thank you for doing this video! Very informative and I will be using this technique for sure.

[@doodlerobot42]

Excellent. I look forward to seeing your beautiful results in a finished pages video. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@campbellsheila95]

I've had this exact set for months &haven't used because I thought they were water color, &when I realized they were water based I wanted to avoid streaks. Thanks!

[@doodlerobot42]

I hope you will give them a try now!? Thank you for stopping by and happy coloring. 👍🤓👽🖖

Wow! Thank you for this tutorial! I have the same book "Color Yourself to Tranquility". I'm going to try this technique with crayola supertips.😍

[@doodlerobot42]

Thank you. I am glad to hear that. Please let me know how it goes. I have never used the super tips. I know that some people swear by them. Good luck!! Happy coloring. 👍😁👽🖖

Hi Doodle Robot!! Just wanted to check in and let you know that I am using the tips you shared with my Bic Intensity markers in my color by number books and NO MORE STREAKS!! 🤩 My pages look so much better!! Thank you again for your tutorials. Please teach us more!!!

[@doodlerobot42]

🎉💙🥳 Woohoo!! That is awesome! You made my day. Thank you for letting me know. I was worried people wouldn't get my same results. Sigh of relief here. Have a great week. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@maureenmorley9555]

Thanks for the demo it makes perfect sense now that I see it, I have had streaking too and don’t like to use my Tombows except in little areas because they leave streaks! So this helps big time! Thank you so much!

[@doodlerobot42]

Maybe now you can try some bigger areas? Let me know how it goes. Thank you for stopping by and happy coloring. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@colourfulpyrate]

Thank you! I don't know if I have the patience for that lol, but it makes sense and looks great

[@doodlerobot42]

Yes. It does require a bit of patience, but all in all it is still quicker than color pencils or acrylic paint. Try it on a small space first. 👍👽🖖

[@Beecosy]

This is awesome, thank you so much - what is obvious to some may not be to others. I'll be more careful of piling and drying times. Excellent presentation/demo, you should be a teacher ;) (jest)

[@doodlerobot42]

Hahaha. I hope you can use the technique from time to time. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@JojozaHannaHawaii]

This was fab!! Tfs my dear😍

[@doodlerobot42]

Thank you. I appreciate your comments, they always make my day!! You rock!

[@AxikFumbles]

Now that you have explained it, it makes perfect sense, especially the letting it dry between the coats part. I tend to be lazy and just apply the Satin Glaze. Then I can apply several coats of water based markers for desired depth or even blend them on the page. It is quite rough on the marker nibs but since I'm mainly using cheapo sets, I don't much care 😁 But I am now curious to try out your method. Thank you for sharing!👍

[@doodlerobot42]

Good luck with your rendition. I'm sure it will work for you. Happy coloring. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@kirstendecoster3201]

Thank you so much for this great video! I've always loved colouring with markers, ever since I was a child. The only thing I didn't like were the streaks. I tried alcohol markers and they work great, but I always get a bad taste in my mouth, I'm quite sensitive to the smell. Now I'm off to amazon to order these, I love working with brush tips and you have a fineliner too, it doesn't get better than that.

[@doodlerobot42]

Thank you. I hope it works out for you. Please let me know. Happy coloring! 👍🤓👽🖖

[@elliemcgeeart]

excellent tutorial! tfs!

[@doodlerobot42]

Thanks Pixie. 👍🤓👽🖖

[@butterflies015]

Do the water based ohulu markers have a smell to them. Having asthma I can't use things with a strong smell

[@doodlerobot42]

I personally have never noticed a smell. And I have trouble with certain chemicals and smells. I would say, buy from Amazon so if there is a problem you can return it with no problem. Go for it. 👍🤓🖖👽

[@coloredbymaia6476]

I find that copy paper is better than Amazon paper many times

[@doodlerobot42]

LOL!!! You could be right. Sometimes I too think the copy paper is better, then other times it's a tie. ???? :)

[@debrapeterson3686]

Don't the second and third coats of the marker bleed through the page? Maybe not, because you allow it to dry between coats. Will be trying this very soon. Thank you for the tip.

[@doodlerobot42]

Not in the books that I showed. That is why you have to test in addition to thoroughly drying. Good luck. 👍🤓👽🖖

Perpendicular!?! You should put a math trigger warning on this video. Or astronomy. Whatever olgy perpendicular is from. 🫣

I got a "sort of" geeky math degree before the artsy fartsy one? But, yeah, good idea... Next time.🤣
