tbh i have never used alcohol based markers XD i usually use the aquamarkers to do any type of ‘colouring’. they r pretty good but the tips start to fray which is so annoying! x
Alcohol markers are made of dye inks not pigments. You will find pigments in watercolours, oils, gouache and acrylic paints, The same for most water based markers, they are also dyes., which is why they fade over time. Depending on the paper, some water based markers will bleed also. If you don’t want the paper to pill when using water based markers, wait for the first layer to dry. The yellowing in some alcohol markers is due to the dyes in some colours. Whew, I hope that helps. Nice informative video. Keep creating 💜💛💙
Thank you for this! I''m definitely going to get some alcohol based markers! You convinced me. The streaks that come with using my tombows annoys me so much! No matter what it just looks bad to me. I thought id be stuck with those forever haha. Yay can't wait to try alcohol ons!
Ohuhu is the best budget alcohol marker investment .. of course it's a personal opinion but it is the only brand capable of competing with copic. its been 4 years and ohuhu still surprises me to this day, some of my pens haven't run out still and has pigment
@@mingostudio i might be showing a smidge favoritism here i know and i apologize if it sounds a bit strongly opinionated however as a company they do please their customers weather its for personal or professional use :)
i really want to try alcohol markers, but copics are so expensive!! i’ll def have to look into those other brands, thanks for the recommendation!! also, have you heard of acrylic markers? they have a brush nib and a like regular marker nib. i thought acrylic was paint, but i don’t think these are? idk, i haven’t tried them just yet. i think she got them from amazon…
the two markers i recommended in the video, ohuhu and sanjoki, are much cheaper! i agree copics are insanely priced haha. also i have tried one acrylic marker (an acrylograph) and it was fineeee but not my fav. i think it is paint..? idk i may be wrong
@@mingostudio It is acrylic paint indeed, hence the name. You can't paint the same way as you'd use alcohol or water-based markers unfortunately, it's a different process.
Yesterday I bring my almost dry markers to life just with technical alcohol, so even you don't use them right now, you may make them juicy and use them later. Some colors became lighter, but if marker just dry, not much used, it wouldn't change the color. I hope, it will help and you will happily boost your creativity c:
should i continue the series with a part 3? :) i talked a little about that in this video with the blending and layering but i can continue with another full video
I'm getting more into paint because of some of the issues with water based markers (although most common paints are also water based). Alcohol markers are too much of an investment when I'm not very good at art
OMG thanks. I really want to buy some. If anything i guess i can just put a lot of stickers on the back of the pages and use my others for the pages i don't wanna use a bunch of stickers on the back

woww 4 years is impressive

no i agree i love their company :)
A blending brush or a light water stroke would blend the water-based colors better, maybe even better than the alcohol ones
ive tried blending brushes in the past and they are not extremely effective in my experience but if they work for you then great!
Thank you I don't use alcohol markers, you demonstration was really useful and informative on the differences really helpful 👍
i’m so glad! :)

I love Ohuhu makers, but I’m afraid that if I buy them I won’t use them enough to make it worth the money.

Can you please make a video on how to use ohuhu markers and how to colour with them? Because I am a beginner at it and not so good 😅
should i continue the series with a part 3? :) i talked a little about that in this video with the blending and layering but i can continue with another full video
@mingostudio if you can, then please it would help me 🙂😊
I have both, but remember alcohol ones are not lightfast and the alcohol smell can affect a journaler's physical system.
very true!

and see i’m the other way around bc paint is harder to me than markers. 😂😂
OMG thanks. I really want to buy some. If anything i guess i can just put a lot of stickers on the back of the pages and use my others for the pages i don't wanna use a bunch of stickers on the back
if you don’t have sticker paper you can also draw on normal paper and just glue or tape it in :)
@@mingostudio ooh def gonna try this. Appriciate this advice thanks 👍🏿🫶🏿
I love Ohuhu makers, but I’m afraid that if I buy them I won’t use them enough to make it worth the money.
hmm that’s valid. maybe see if they sell them individually or in small quantities? just to test them out and see if you like using them? :)
