The way you keep all you comics colour coordinated is so just amazing

Awe, thank you. 🥰

The colorless blender is useful for priming the paper when you will blend colors.

@RadishTheFool Год назад

Thank you for making this video. These were solid tips, and you explained them clearly and succinctly. My two cents on the colourless blender: ¢1: I don't use them often, but I know artists mostly use them to blend their lightest shade into the white of the paper. ¢2: Alcohol is really good for blending coloured pencils. Colourless blender markers are basically just alcohol. Ergo: they're super good for blending coloured pencils. ☘️

Thanks so much! And thank you for the additional tips on colorless blender!

The Shinhan colorless blender is actually much better than Copic/Ohuhu. I don't know what's exactly different about it but it blends without bleaching. It smells very sweet to it might be beet/sugarcane ethanol rather than isopropanol like the Copic.

I too LOVE the Pentel brush pen and the Kuretake inks. this was a very helpful class, especially with blending techniques.

That tip on values is so good! I didn't know about that 🥰

Yay, happy to share! 🤓♥️

Thanks for the helpful video. I'd also add that if you sketch out your drawing first with pencil, make sure to go over it well with a gum eraser because too much graphite will smudge very easily under an alcohol marker and you can't erase it afterwards!

@SarahSimpsonart Год назад

Yes, great tip! Thanks for sharing and so glad you found the video helpful!

Thank you for the video! I don't want to be mean but you might want to keep check on how frequeny you say "uhm". The overall quality of both information and presentation is so good already.

@SarahSimpsonart 6 месяцев назад

I bought a set of grey ones and they were dried out before I got to use them twice! Any way to revive them?

@SarahSimpsonart 3 месяца назад

Bummer! Copic has ink refills that can be purchased.

@natenajor9834 Год назад

I’ve been told you shouldn’t have your markers standing up, but instead laying on their side as to not dry out dual tipped markers. Is this true?

@SarahSimpsonart Год назад

It makes sense. Especially if you use both tips. Gravity would probably push the ink to the bottom. I actually store mine upright with the brush tip down since that's the side I mostly use. But you could always get one of those art supply books with the little rubber loops in them to organize and store them flat. I have a couple of those as well.

@irunwithink 2 года назад

I'm not sure if you always store your markers where they are in this video, but that direct sunlight is not good.

@SarahSimpsonart 2 года назад

Good tip. I have a cabinet I usually store them in. 😉

How to apply marker? Hard or Soft?

@SarahSimpsonart 2 года назад

More soft. I think a lighter touch will make your nibs last longer.

@jezalf1921 2 года назад

Thank Youu!

Impossible to get an even tone with an alcohol marker. They just dry too fast.

@SarahSimpsonart 4 месяца назад

It can definitely be a challenge but possible if you have a full marker and are willing to put down a couple layers. Lighter colors are easier than dark.

@She2D0pe Год назад

Your marker still isnt full. Use a scale.. copic are supposed weigh like 14 grams when full or something similar to that. You cant even get a good blend with an empty marker

Thanks for the tip
