I know this is an old video, and maybe a dumb question, but if you’ve got the time, what are the honeycomb shaped things you have your paint in and add water/mix inside? Do they have tops that seal so you’re able to keep the mix/paint in and come back to again? I am starting to improve watercolor flash techniques and moving away from preset paint trays to tubes and my own mixing so more info around your paint/set up/storage, etc., would be so helpful! Thanks, love all your videos @soberjoese
How do you keep the paper from buckling? I'm using the same paper and if I use even half of water you are using here the paper buckles? Do you prep your paper?
Sick painting man, I gotta ask how you keep your nib pulling such great lines? Mine can’t drag too long without running out of ink, no matter how much I try to keep it clean
I am enjoying watching your techniques and thinking about applying them to my leather working It’s only a hobby right now but I love traditional tattoos and want to start carving them into leather Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, great work !
Hello! Saludos desde Buenos Aires 🦥 I like your videos because they help me to learn well about how to paint this beautiful style, thanks for these videos .. I have a question and I want to know if I understood correctly, do you mix brown with watercolors before applying the colors? or just coffee?
Rad as always and super helpful. If you’re taking requests, can you do a little video on your light box/tracing process? I have a bunch of images I want to combine on one flash page but don’t want to redraw them. Thanks!!!!
Hello bro, another incredible video. thanks a million for your channel. I'd like to ask if you would know the equivalent tattoo needle size when using nibs. For example is a b5 nib similar to the line weight of an 11RL or is a b6 nib the same as a 9rl? Thanks again
SJ, Been following you for awhile now and loving every video! quick question - are you using the same ink for the black shades and the outline? Or winsor and Newton on the out lines and Indian ink on the shades? Visa versa? Is there much difference?
Hi! Thank you for the kind words! When I’m using nibs I use the same ink for my shading as I do for my lines. Winsor & Newton Indian Ink and Talens Indian Ink are both good products!
Does anyone have tips on getting more saturated yellows with watercolor? I have been using Indian Yellow Dr Martens but when I paint it on stained paper it looks too light and lacks boldness. Any recommendations for a better yellow to use? Similar to the yellow in this painting? Maybe a yellow acrylic ink would be better? Thanks!
Hello from cold siberia, I can't find information about the toxicity of W&N ink anywhere, I saw on your website that you are using it. p.s. the drawings are amazing, I'm glad I found you on the vastness of UA-cam.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻 I’m pretty sure that W&N are not toxic, but for you and others who wonder, I will send them an email and see if I can get any answers.
What colors are you using for your inks? I’ve been using Dr PH Martins, but the greens I pick are.. not doing it for me, lol. Can you recommend a good color for painting skin tones and leaves/greens? Appreciate your videos, they’ve helped me immensely, and I can’t wait to see your channel grow🖤
Hi Tylr! Thank you! I use Dr. Ph. Martins and Ecoline. The green one you are referring to is called 640 Bluish Green from Ecoline and it’s diluted with water. For skin tones I have one I’ve mixed my own years ago. I’m planning on doing a video where I try to replicate it using other brands.
Hi Joe, great job as always. If you do not mind, I reproduce your artwork as a form of practicing and post it on instagram, and put the credit to you. You are a great artist and instructor if I can say that. Great inspiration.

Thank you! Try open up the gap between the “shield” that’s on top and the nib and it will hold a lot more ink.

Hey Joe! Why is it that when you apply coffee to the picture, the black color doesn't bleed ? Thanks man!
It's because I use indian inks for all my blacks. It's waterproof!

Thank you! I mix a brow acrylic with water for my stain nowadays. This way the watercolors don't screw with my stain. Hope it helps.

Hi Mike! I use Tiger Yellow from Dr. Ph. Martins and I really like it. I use it for all the recent paintings I’ve done. Hope it helps!
@@SoberjoeSe Thanks! I appreciate the help. I'll grab some and add it to the watercolor arsenal

I have the answer to your question. If you have an AP logo on your bottle it’s safe to use and not toxic. All winsor and Newton have this. 👍🏻
