cetriya's Art n Comics Channel thanks for suggesting that cheap cardstock paper. I would have never in a million years even thought about that. A big lifesaver! Thank you! Also the only color paper I used was the Strathmore toned tan mixed-media paper. I'm still feeling it out, but so far it seems pretty good. I've only used markers on it and some colored pencils and pens and inks. I have used watercolor markers "tombow" on it. Works pretty nicely👍👍
PandimensionalSpaceZombie got a few Tombows my self and they also have inking pens similar to the ones used in this video. Glad this was helpful. I've saved a few other artists with this find
@@nekrozma mixed media is for multiple media, hence the name. It works with marker, pencil, oil pastel, watercolor and gouache and acrylic. And oil paint if you gesso it first. And all mixed media pads are different. A lot of people like the canson one for copic markers. But it does absorb more ink than some other types of paper.
Hmmm, I've never had a problem with canson XL media paper. Though I can understand how they would use up your ink that is why I tend to use like sharpies and such in them the majority of the time. The best paper to use is smooth Bristol board, strathamore marker paper, and smooth cardstock (but there is a difference between the brands) also I have a sketchbook like that first one that I got from ross and I love it. The paper is really smooth so yeah.
The purpose for dedicated marker pads are not mainly for bleed thru. They have a less porous and smooth surface . It makes it easier to blend colors , it soaks up less fluid so your markers last longer, the nib doesn’t get ruined ny wet paper. Many art store sells them for between 10-20usd
Awesome suggestions. I love using cardstock and another one I use is the cheap acrylic paper that isn't made from real canvas sheets. Thanks for sharing, I will have to check out those sketchbooks you mentioned. :)
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I was looking for marker paper for my daughter to practice with and this really helped! I already have cardstock printer paper and random sketchbook they are definitely A LOT more affordable than anything called "marker paper" at shops. We were using normal printer paper (with cheap generic water-based markers) for a while and I wanted to get some paper that would let us use alcohol markers and all their cool abilities.
Damn this was so helpful. Thank you! I just bought mixed media paper and it sucks the life out of my pens and markers. I thought trying to find paper for markers was gonna be nightmare of trial and errors. You just saved me time and money. 💜🔥
Haha, yeah I was surprised no one made a video about this already since there were so many marker tutorials but nothing about the paper to use it on and how it affects the markers
Thank you so much I’m getting the blick stedio brush markers and I really needed to know what type of paper was good paper for my drawings! Again thanks a lot😊😊😊
Thank you so much for making this! I've been searching far and wide for good paper suggestions. As nice as proper marker paper is, I really don't like working with paper that thin.
I honestly REALLY hate the fact that my alcohol based markers always bleed through the paper i buy, i've tried severeal types of papers but all my markers do is bleed through. i don't know if it's bad for not but yeh.
xKamsx the only paper that I know the doesn't bleed is the vellum like marker paper, but it doesnt allow for as much layering as cardstock or smooth Bristol
cetriya's Art n Comics Channel does alcohol based markers go through card stock? I’m just wondering because I am thinking of buying card stock in my local school/art shop.
Also try Canson's The Wall sketchbook. It's got some layer in the center of the sheets that stops bleed and show through. Search UA-cam for it. The videos aren't in English, but they demo it.
You have beautiful fingernails. Thank you for the paper advice. I am looking for some cheap paper to use for abstract drawing while in the hospital. I love your drawings. ❤️ Your characters look chic, classy, and cute all in one.
Your hands gave me an idea? Use em as models for drawing. No other live models because college closed. In March 2020. Awesome video. Yeah Walmart has the "sketchbooks" purple/white label. Even way up here in the big nickel.
Hey. New alcohol marker user here :P so, I did the recommended one, and got Cardstock (after mistakenly getting acrylic/water color paper. I sent it back don't worry lol) and, it does do pretty good, and these basic as hecc grapes and blue berries, & whatever else look good. But one thing I noticed, and I don't know if this is because of the brand of the cardstock, my inexperience with alcohol markers or what, but the paper sometimes gets this sort of wear on it, and when that happens the paper causes the marker ink to kinda explode, this comes about whenever I used my colorless blender. Don't know how to prevent that, but I'm at least trying
I have the canson multi media and it bleeds through, but it's still good in opinion because I just tape another picture on the back so the page isn't completely going to waste.
From what I tested in the past, marker paper doest blend because it has film/coating to keep ink from being absorbed into the paper. I think that paper is for design work and not illustrations
I live in the US so dont' know whats available in Australia, so best to test them out, buy samples, maybe check out art shops and ask the manager if you can test a few books? in general, you need smooth thick paper (not watercolor).
@@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel We don't have samples you can buy :( But ive bought a couplr cheap ones I've found here and there that feel like they may work. My markers still havent been sent so just waiting on them now.
Can you get cardstock from Michaels? i just bought some markers but my paper is to thin btw keep up the good work have a good thanksgiving and Christmas may god bless you and your 💖🙏🌹 oh btw If i go to Walmart which I'll do i go to?
You can get a variety of cardstock at Michaels (and all sort of papers really) and any office supply store (staples, office depot, fedex, ect). The cheapest one I found has been at any Walmart (or target) and they usually carry a few, but the one you want is the large "George" pack of basic 110lb (sometimes 90 or 67 lbs) cardstock in their office supply section or near the printers. Thanks so much :) and hope you have good times with friends and family.
@@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel what if i'm looking for a sketch book which one would you say is the best sketch book for markers and I doesn't bleed and and look foggy from the back? Btw thank you i hope you have a great time with your friends or family too 🌹💖 and thank you for the info :)
Wait, I have a question. So basically, Canson has marker paper, it’s specifically for markers, it’s really smooth paper, but it sooo thin?! I don’t get it, doesn’t marker paper need to be thick? 😂🤔😐
When its marker paper, its coated to keep the markers from bleeding through too much and try to preserve the ink. Its thicker then printer paper but not by much.
also side note, do you have a marker recommendation/review video? cuz I noticed you used some sort of Blick studio brand (and I kinda wonder how that compares to Ohuhu) I got my ohuhu set for like, $24 CAD, and it was the 24 marker set. So, perfect set for beginners who wanna test out the brand
I've never been a high volume user of makers, and the brand I liked the most is super expensive/ out of production. if you want something a step up from ohoho (which now has brush and pastels) I would say Croma Lite 72 B set to add with your ohuhu.
WarriorSmurf I have not tried the Strathmore brand, but have tried other marker brand paper. They're ment to save up the marker ink unlike cardstock but because of that, you cant layer as much (which takes up ink). You can use their drawing pads or smooth Bristol but those cost more than Cardstock
I just noticed that I said 500 series when I meant 400 series (the one with the dog on the front of the pad). Sorry about that. I use Michael's weekly coupons (they're the devil, you know, lol) as an excuse to experiment with various types of paper pads. I did a school project utilizing the Strathmore Visual Journal (mixed media version) which handles markers well along with other media. I used Copic and Tombow brush markers as well as Prismacolor pencils.
Every time I look at or think about the amount of unused (or soon to be used) materials, I fight it, lol. Lately, I have been using the almighty coupons for smaller stuff (individual pens or markers) that costs a few bucks at the most.
I'm not sure, I haven't tried them. I'd say get a sheet of that paper and test it out, or bring your marker and ask the sales people if you can test their paper
@@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel Thank you for the answer but I can't try a sample cause I'm going to buy it online but this is it's guide , is this good ? en.canson.com/drawing-sketch/canson-1557

Canson XL Marker Paper Pad 100SHEETS for $13. Your not buying the right paper if your spending more than that on it they are charging to much in my opinion.
only watercolor or other painting paper is the only thing where I see you spending more, but unless you plan to sell it or keep hanging, yeah there's no reason to spend so much just having fun
What are some of your favorite Papers for markers? Have you tried colored paper?

Is there any specific sign or feature written on papers for markers ?
Marmelade is it the copic a4
canson mixed media doen't work at ALL it aborbs the marker and makes them dry out quickly and its very hard to make a smooth color or gradient.
Mixed media is for water art

@@calmcuke6865 I was told by a lot of people that mixed media is for water based supplies
Thank you for this! Lol I was just about to buy that for my ohuhu markers but Then i saw this :)
@@nekrozma mix media can work on water based, but it’s not the best. I liek doing pencil work on it.
Also with watercolor type papers, they are usually grainy and have texture to hold to paint, so it roughs up your marker tips
K.Tugs some water color paper are smooth hot press so may not mess up your tips but will definitely soak up your inks
Yup. I made that mistake. Perfectly fonctionning Alcohol Markers ruined
By the way, like my new camera? :)

For the cardstock paper what's the best brand and what's the best weight?
What is the best sketchbook for alcohol based markers I don’t care if it goes through I just don’t want to be able to see the marker lines
hard for me to answer. I just always test out papers when I shop. In general I find thick smooth paper handles marker well

The alcohol markers work well in Cardstock, and gel pen works well too, I don't know for poster colors, you'll have to test it out
