Life Changing Art Supplies From Tiktok 🎨

That cold press ground sounds amazing 😭

I’m surprised some people only heard about Sakura microns recently from TikTok. I always thought they were the most hyped fine liners in the art community. I don’t do use them for art but they’re great for journaling too

Those extremely thin fineliners used to be sold in specialist shops for doing blueprints with precise details. The official standards for official blueprints require specific line widths for specific things, and draftsmen like to use sizes that scale to the next size when photocopying up or down 1 paper size.

The sakura microns are great but personally they didnt last very long, and this is coming from someone who treats their supplies VERY well. They're great while they last but keep in mind that they're quite sensitive, don't try to layer them on top of other media like paint (dry obviously) or prismacolors.

How can someone NOT know about the micron markers!?! I've been using them for so long!!

I use Microns a lot. Started using them far before tiktok. They’re some of my favorite fineliners simply for their range in sizes for the type of pen they are. I’d say that they’re worth the price, yet I’m aware of tiktok’s weird obsession with some of the most expensive art supplies on the market (Caran d’Ache pencils, Copic markers, Winsor and Newton paint, etc). I’m sure that there’s a cheaper alternative that produces the same effect!

ok i'm glad i'm not the only one who's flabbergasted that other artists didn't know about microns before tiktok

Use a silicone face scrubber at the bottom of a mason jar to clean your brushes

Me again waiting for the comment that says “Main channel here!” 👁️👄👁️

I used to think that rotrings were the worst because I had an uncle that went to college for drafting and architecture. He used those rotring isograph pens religiously for everything he ever did, so he had a junk box full of them. When I was around 10 or 12 I took a handful of those junk pens thinking I could be a great artist if I had these fancy sounding pens. Of course they were empty, jammed, dry, or broken in some way since they came from a junk box. Rather than connecting the dots, I just assumed that all technical pens were terrible for years. I eventually bought one on accident while I was getting fineliners and decided I wasn't going to waste it so I put it in my pocket journal. The instant I used it, I set it with my main art supplies and have loved them ever since.

I think the cold press grounds just changed my life! I’ve always seen it in the store but never thought to look it up 😮

Microns got popular on tiktok? Tf was I using 10 years ago then? 😂😂😂 But glad to see little ones find good supplies, microns were my treasure before digital art.

I got my Microns YEARS ago as a Christmas present in highschool. I can further back up the hype for them! They're seriously amazing and I don't think I could ever use anything else after these babies 😭💖

Saw a DIY art hack with the cold press ground... they painted a light shade and did an amazing watercolour drip style on it. It was gorgeous

The Cold Ground is also nice to mix into paint to give added texture to your pieces where needed 👌🏼

For some reason my brain went "Oh my gosh the best art supply ever," and immediately focused on the "Wookie cup"

The Paint Puck is actually pretty freakin' cool- Need to get one to try- Pt.2 Please

I’m surprised you just found the micron pens! They’ve been around for a while! I remember my papa using them when he used to tattoo

You can make cold press ground, too - by mixing gesso and modeling paste! It’s worth it to buy the mixed ground but as long as you measure & get the proportions right mixing it yourself is awesome too!

The thing about those microns is you really want to be careful to not press down on them. You need a very light hand (hard for me, I have a very heavy hand when I draw ) and you're going to need a few of them to finish one larger piece. I love them, they are fun to use, but I wanted to put that out there for people who have never used them. I switched to reusable copic just because you can change the nibs before the ink runs out. With those I don't think you can replace the nibs and a lot of the time they will wear down before the ink runs out.

THAT FIRST ITEM HAS MADE ME QUESTION MY LIFES DECISIONS THANKYOU

NOTE : those pens are amazing for painting pupils on the eyes of warhammer, but for a 1000 point army get at least 3 pens the same size

Microns have been the backbone of the yt art community for years. I remember being so proud of the pack I got for Christmas I used my gray bedsheets as a background and posted an attempt at a professional-looking picture to show them off

That brush cleaner/holder/palette thing is MAGIC!!! Where did you get it????

Yess i love micron pens! I bought mine before tiktok, but my classmates stole them all sadly :( But you can also get them from Michaels craft supplies, i beleive they are all over the place

If you want the brush cleaner, you can cut up a sponge and put at the bottom of the cup. It’ll work just fine.

The first one is an actual live saving painting and I use the drying rack to hold my brushes regularly

Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE compare all the different water color grounds? I know Daniel Smith and I think... Maybe Paul Ruebens has one too.. idk I am amazed by this stuff..

My micron fineliner dried out after like two weeks😭

I recommend the micron fineliners so much they are amazing! I use them and they work really well with watercolours because they don't spread like some other fineliners you can find them in many sizes along with a brush pen and I always get them because of the quality and affordability

The star wars mug at the begin>>

The paint pick can also be bought as a suction cup that attaches to the bottom of your cup, which is nice if you're like me and have favorites.

That last one is amazing I’m getting some now!!

Microns are not just small (they come in a variety of sizes) but they are incredibly high quality and super durable. There’s a reason they’re the standard for a LOT of professional artists

_holy shit, i need all of these right now_

One thing I cannot live without is the Master’s Brush Cleaner and Preserver. It cleans my oil and gouache brushes beautifully. I even resurrected a few old brushes I thought were goners.

As an art student I’m so glad I found this video! Thank you!

I love how she puts her time and effort into her RU-vid videos I love you

I ink with the 0.05 and 0.1 ALL the time. I bought the 0.03 purely for my mini sketchbook pieces hehe

I live by the micro-lines. I use them for all of my hatching and shading, since I mainly use ink anyways.

oh wow! I’ll definitely try those😁

The micron markers are great, we use them all the time for drawings in my architecture class

The cold press grounds sounds amazing 😍

I have the Micron pens! They're absolutely amazing now I must get the other two gadgets

part 2 please..😊💜

That last one is amazing!

bro those fine liners are so helpful i own so many lol

"Micron liners" oh boy do i love me micron liners! i'm so grateful they dry out after a single use!

Thanks for the info; please 2nd part, Happy Holidays.

The first one is actually really useful especially for water colors

LOVE that microns are also waterproof!

I personally prefer the Faber castell version I believe they are called PITT. Unlike everyone else, my first inking pens were Faber castell and they lasted years. They were also water resistant. They didnt have as small of tips but I was able to achieve different line weights with just one pen so the XS pen could still make as fine lines as my micron .005

I love that first one! Genius!

We need to have part two now 🥺🥺🥺

I absolutely LOVE them 🤩

That last one is so cool though!

My parents got me a paint puck for my birthday. I fricking love it! It made me love painting again and also love the Chewy mug

The last one is amazing 🤩

Side note: the Sakura fine liners dry out very easily if your not careful. I press down a bit hard while lining and it always seemed to dry out quicker rather than when I didn’t. There’s also no way of preventing bleed when working with watercolor around it- if your looking for a cheap alternative I’d also suggest “2 pack s-gel 0.7 fine tip sharpie pens no bleed ($5-3)” They are what works best for me, and what I often use in my videos.

0.3mm mechanical pencils will always be my one beloved art supply

YES PIGMA MICRON HAS BEEN MY LINER OF CHOICE FOR FOREVER

That ground is awesome! So is the water tank. Thank You!

I definitely need a part 2!

First vid I ever saw from Rae Shorts, I love her educational self and endless motivation a ton already! Keep up the incredible things you do!~ ✨

Part 2 would be great, please. Thanks for all you do!

Loving these products, they're so practical!

That cold press stuff sounds nutty

the cold press ground has so many possibilities 😮

It's the art equivalent of the portal surface material. I love it.

The grounds is a game changer!!

WE NEED A PART TWO

OMG I NEED THE FIRST ONE

All of these things have been around for a while. It's fun to watch this new generation discover will most of us have been using for years.

That cold press sounds amazing for priming canvas for spray painting

that mug IM IN LOVE WITH IT

The cold press ground is WHAT I NEED TBH.

I actually been using those fine liners for several years I actually thought most artists use them had no idea that it wasn’t as common as I believed.

Cool! Def need Part 2!

That cold press ground looks great

Woah, so cool. 💖

that first one looks cheaply made but has so many fantastic functions!!!

Yes, part2! And more!

Yesss! Micron pens for the win! My Most Favorite Pens ever! I was introduced to them by an artist friend way back in the early 2000's. I have all the colors and wish that they made more of them in the teensy tip. I've worn out so many of those 005 doing teensy little details on ACEOs. :) Kneaded erasers are another awesome tool, no more eraser crumbles on your art, and they are fun to squish. I didn't know about the watercolor ground, that is pretty cool. I worked at an art store years ago, I miss seeing the cool products that come out.

Always want part two!

WOW ITS LIKE PAPER THE PAINT THAT HOLDS WATERCOLOR

Yes part 2. Thank you for sharing

Part 2, please! Thank you!

THANK YOUU GETTING THE PAINT PLUG!

I got the first one for either my birthday or Christmas when I was like 8. Still probably my favorite and most useful art thing!

Just a tip for anyone interested in the micron pens: they are great... Until they break, and they break fast. If you tend to be forceful when writing/drawing, I would seriously reconsider. They are great while they work though

I use that paint water cup. I got it to Christmas and it works super well! Highly recommend it!

I’ve had those micron pens for YEARS

The microliters are my FAVORITES they're so so tiny

I LOVE my Paint Pucks & my Paint Puck Cups!

YOUR NAIL COLOR!❤

Definitely do part 2 😊

I. NEED. THAT. COLD. PRESS. GROUND

Loving the Chewbacca mug! Artist +Star Wars fan! Wooooo🎉🎉🎉

The first one would be sooo good for cleaning makeup brushes!!
