First off your adorable and your delivery on camera is just great! Your happy upbeat demeanor is helpful and appreciated, so thank you! The most valuable tip for me was about PAPER! I’ve watched lots of videos and people don’t explain the differences as well as you have. Your right about paper choice being so important. After watching this video I changed the paper I was using and was floored at the difference. It was like night and day and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thank you so very much.

[@thaneeya]

Thank you so much for your kind comments, Ann!! 🥰 It means so much to me to hear such positive feedback! 💖 I'm so glad to hear that my tip about paper was so useful to you! Paper really does make a huge difference. Your comment has inspired me ~ maybe I'll make a video all about alcohol marker paper! 😃🎨

I like tip 5, to plan colors in advance. I never did before but I do now and like my results better

[@thaneeya]

Thanks, Christina! I've noticed that planning my colors and blends in advance actually saves me time in the long run, and makes the actual coloring go much quicker. It's great to hear that you find pre-planning to be useful too! 😃🎨✨

[@charofheart37]

I knew much of the blending and did a sketchbook swatch when I first got my markers. I did not know you could mix colors that are complimentary colors to make such pretty art combinations 🤗❤️👍🏽💯

[@thaneeya]

[@gamewrit0058]

This video was exactly what I needed, and thanks for showing how you weigh and fill your markers for tip #7! 6:40 Speaking of mistakes and covering them up, I recently sketched a page with four simple character drawings, first with pencil, then some watercolor marker highlights, then pen outlines, erased the pencil and added acrylic paint highlights. However, I wanted to add an element and started with pen instead of pencil, and it looked so wrong that I had to color a flowing cloak over my character and then painted everyone's background in gold acrylic paint, which covered my black pen errors. I like the finished piece, but it's definitely not what I'd started out to do. 😅

These tips are extremely helpful even if *still* a bit intimidating for a complete beginner. I do especially appreciate the tips on which paper to use.

However I wanted to start using markers because I adore your coloring examples in the books & on your website you mentioned you mostly use markers. Will be watching ALL your videos & maybe one day I’ll create the masterpieces that you do!

Thank you so much for the tips! Is mixed media art papers good for blending with alcohol markers? I happen to bought quite a bit

[@thaneeya]

You're very welcome! 😃 Mixed media art paper could work with alcohol markers - it's definitely worth a try! How well it works depends on how absorbent the paper is. If it's too absorbent, the alcohol marker ink will sink into it quickly, making it harder to blend. Whether or not that's an issue depends on your personal art style. Also, if the paper is too textured, then the marker nibs might cause pilling. But all in all, it can't hurt to experiment and see whether you like it! 🎨🌟

Can you use them on canvas

[@thaneeya]

@stuartbates1526 technically you can use alcohol markers on canvas, but the results aren't that great - not as good as what you can achieve on paper. The colors don't lay down evenly on canvas, nor do they blend well. That said, it all depends on your personal art style. Some people might like how it looks! 😊

I just got my first set of alcohol markers. It’s a 48 set ohuhu from amazon(working on getting another set) I can’t afford copics 😅100 USD for 10 markers is outrageous lol Plus all the artists videos I’ve seen said ohuhu is a very close second and that’s good enough for me lol Anyways, thank you for this video! I’m not an artist I’m a colorer. So, Does anyone have any recommendations for an adult coloring book that can withstand markers? Currently I’ve been coloring in Crayola’s Mindful Meditations Mandala coloring book and the paper is withstanding but it’s not perfect. It’s a tad thicker than printer paper. Prismacolor colored pencils work great on it for sure. Using both, I didn’t think I could do that 😂 So thank you for the advice!!

[@devonmccarroll6509]

Probably a silly question, but when using alcohol markers, for instance three that you're blending, can you leave the caps off long enough to do the blend, or do you constantly have to put the caps back on every time you switch? How long is too long to have one open?

[@thaneeya]

I usually put the caps back on when I'm not using that specific marker, but if you prefer, you can leave them off for the short time that you're blending. It's okay to leave the caps off for a few minutes - they won't dry out in such a short amount of time. 😊

Is this alcohol marks if you blend it together like if you blend yellow, orange or any light color into dark color would it touch the others color and stay in it like the crayola markers and when the color run out do you have to go buy another new one and throw away the old one or how does it workout

[@thaneeya]

I don't quite understand what you're asking in the first part of your question, sorry! 😊 I can answer your 2nd question though: some brands of alcohol markers (like Copic, Ohuhu and Blick) offer ink refills, so you can refill the markers when they run out of ink. They also offer nib replacements so you can replace the nibs when they wear out. So you can essentially use the same marker over and over. But if the marker barrel (or marker cap) gets cracked or broken then the entire marker will need to be replaced. Hope this helps! 😃

[@nouxiong5783]

@thaneeya I mean that if you blend to color together like red and blue, would it turn to purple and while you color like yellow with dark color like dark color would it stick in with the light color and while you color with it

What pen do you use for outline your drawing? Mine gets smugged while coloring

[@thaneeya]

I like to use Copic Multiliner Pens or Pigma Micron Pens. Prismacolor Premier Fine Liners are also good. In general, it's a good idea to wait at least 10-20min after inking before you color with alcohol markers (you can test with different pens to see how long you need to wait). Also, sometimes paper type can make a difference in whether the pen smudges or not. Hope this helps! 😃

Nice video btw

[@oliverlangrall2014]

I'm just getting started in illustrating and I can't seem to find ink pens that don't smudge when I color over my lines with alcohol markers. Does anyone have any tips for me? right now I have Faber Castell pens in a few different sizes, several different sized Micron pens and, surpisingly, the one I use most because it bleeds the least, is my Pilot V5 ball point pen. What do you all use? Maybe my techniques wrong? All my cross hatching and fine lines smudge when I color over them!

[@thaneeya]

I like Copic Multiliners, which are meant for use with Copic Markers, so they're not supposed to smudge. That said, paper can also play an important factor, because on some paper types/brands, pen ink can take longer to dry (which can result in smudging when you go over it with alcohol markers). Make sure you leave enough time for the pen to dry fully before going over it with alcohol markers. I like to do tests on new paper - I put down some pen marks and then test going over it after 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 20 minutes. If you still experience smudging, you could even wait a few hours before going over it with alcohol markers. If the pen ink is still smudging after a few hours, then you might want to try a different paper type. Hope this helps & good luck! 😃

[@oliverlangrall2014]

@@thaneeya Thank you for replying! I just got a new sketch book from Ohuhu meant for use with alcohol markers and it's made a difference. Like you said, I think my biggest issue was not letting the ink dry long enough before coloring :) I'm going to check out those Copic Multiliners as well!

I like to see your Videos because you recommend the one for the lungs, but in my country, which is Mexico, the pens are more expensive, it is what you say in your video, they are not cheap, that's why I buy the Sharpe ones, which are cheaper, and the notebooks if you have them reason but it is also clear that the lungs that you use are not cheap as I mentioned and you have to buy it either 1 × 1 or when they are on sale they do not go down much I discovered that the oil lungs are much more expensive than the down ones water but they are better when you paint with them and they are better and I have had the opportunity to buy the pens it is from the prismacolor brand but not the ones with a brush tip but the normal ones and my sister also has them used her lungs

Ohuhu is the brand you want to spring for regardless since Copic are unnecessarily overpriced.
