I would NEVER have imagined that you could blend with Sharpies! This is fantastic info. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge. I feel like my head is twice its size with the addition of all the information you provide. WONDERFUL!!!
I just got a set of sharpies for my birthday and I got really into drawing anime but many youtubers use copics which are expensive and this saved my life
Dont worry about what everyone else is using. You don't need copic markers to make nice drawings. They are lovely markers, no doubt, but sharpies will do just fine. 👍
Omg! I know this is old but THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve just bought 72 studio 71 markers and all tutorials seem to be copic this and copic that! I was about to lose my mind! I’ve learned more about blending from your 9 minute video than watching and reading anything else!
Thank you for the tutorial. I have always been hesitant to use Sharpies, but I tried this technique out on my last video and will definitely keep at it! Thanks again.
Wonderful! I only use colored pencils for my art but I decided to use markers so I chose Sharpies! Thanks for the tips! I am trying to blend 1 black Sharpie. I don't know if it is possible or I just suck 😂😂😂😅
Mersian Arts In order to successfully blend any two colors from any alcohol marker brand, you need them to be similar in value and hue. You’d be hard pressed to blend a yellow with a black, but you shouldn’t have much issue blending black with a dark purple. The closer the two markers are in hue and value, the easier they will blend. Also, try the press and flick method. Flick towards the color you want to blend with. There are multiple blending methods - have a look here on UA-cam for Copic or alcohol marker blending methods. They should translate reasonably well to Sharpies. Sharpies have very similar ink to other alcohol markers. Not exactly, but being alcohol based they share a lot of the same properties.
I can draw but I'm never really used markers a lot I've been trying to get into the more alcohol-based markers can you use a blending marker with these cuz I am very bad at shading and two thank you for making these videos thank you so much because these help so much I love you lady
So, this is the first of the series I've watched. What paper are you using, because it makes a difference. Also, did you know you can blend with alcohol because sharpies are alcohol ink?
This helps me great tutorial because I do graffiti letters and Art now since I have markers I know how to blend I just got them today on my birthday 😁 Nov 21
Hi i was just looking for video where sharpies are used on canvas and i came across urs...although these techniques are helpful to kno how to use them in right way...so thank u for putting this video out there.. but just want to know are sharpies good for using on canvas boards? What is your opinion...bdw lovely nails🙂
+Jason John thank you! This is the only place I teach art currently. I would love to get an art teaching degree but my health won’t allow me to go back to school. Yay for UA-cam!
A super star entertainer autographed my car fender with a felt tip marker that faded away even though the car was stored away. Is there a method to bring out the autograph??? Thanks!
can you do more blending like with yellow or red or pink or even peach pls and thank you so much you really helped me and you can cheak out my channel as well thx pls do more vids on it 😀😀😀😀😀😀
+Karina Kraina, more blending to come in later videos of this series. Also, I will be doing a follow up to video 7 during my LIVE Facebook event on Wednesday if you have any specific questions.
Does this technique of soaking the paper with ink work on the thin marker paper? The thing about the special professional marker paper is that it doesn’t absorb as much ink and therefor saves your pens so I’m wondering if the non absorbency minimizes the blending properties.
Hi, I love your videos. I have a question for you. They gave me some markers to the alcohol and they have dried. I have not used them yet. And they cost a lot of money. How can I retrieve the bookmarks? You know it? Thank you very much.
I think I have all the Sharpies. I've been collecting for a long time. Do you happen to know how many different colors of sharpies there are? Just the fine tip and ultra fine tips. I keep my sharpie paint pens separate. Just curious. It looks like you have quite a few.
It's a shame Sharpies, Bics (and likely other alcohol-based markers, including the much-coveted Copics) are not archival and lightfast. They fade and discolor. Google it. It broke my heart to learn it! If you're using them for your art, be prepared to scan your pieces and have prints made if you want them to last.
+soicey janay check out sharpie’s website for their official answer. Unofficially, there are some people who are more sensitive than others and some who say they should only be used in well ventilated areas. Most people don’t bother and have no problems.
Being a middle schooler I can't get really expensive markers but I do have TONS of sharpies. This really helps a lot!!
Hunny Bunny Exactly
Hunny Bunny I feel you
Same

Artify markers are a good cheap alternative. They’re on Amazon. Very similar to Copics and fairly cheap.
I would NEVER have imagined that you could blend with Sharpies! This is fantastic info. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge. I feel like my head is twice its size with the addition of all the information you provide. WONDERFUL!!!
+Lynne Bailey, so fun to learn new art skills! I love art so much and I'm glad I can pass some of that joy onto you!
SHARPIE BLEND IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING I LOVE IT!
@Strobbo Sharpies are amazing when it comes to art.
I just got a set of sharpies for my birthday and I got really into drawing anime but many youtubers use copics which are expensive and this saved my life
Glad to help. Enjoy this Sharpie markers...they are great!
Dont worry about what everyone else is using. You don't need copic markers to make nice drawings. They are lovely markers, no doubt, but sharpies will do just fine. 👍
The simple and yet life-changing art lessons I sadly never got at school.
Thank you so so much 💖
Omg! I know this is old but THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve just bought 72 studio 71 markers and all tutorials seem to be copic this and copic that! I was about to lose my mind! I’ve learned more about blending from your 9 minute video than watching and reading anything else!
Ur so right!!! LMAO, those vids are everywhere!!!
well, people these days are into copic. they're expensive af why u like them y'all
Also! One tip I'd like to share as well! If you wanna lighten the color out, you can use a chalk white pencil and smudge to lighten the color
My weave has been snatched
who knew that sharpies were for more than marking freezer bags!?
Vicki Geiser what are freezer bags?
Sam Pearce Maybe ice packs for school lunches? Idk. 😂😐
Haha I used them for drawing on the models from clothes magazines
@@sampearce482 plastic bags like ziplocks
Everybody but you. The nearly infinite number of shades in huge multi-packs kinda give it away. 😏🤪
This series was great......thank you Jenn!! You are super awesome for taking the time to help us to become better colorists! I really appreciate you!💖
+Michele Johnson-Utter, oh I'm so happy you are enjoying the series. I can't wait for you to see what else I have planned. 👍
I liked how you drawed the leafs! 🌱🌿🍃🍀☘️🌲🌳🎋🌾

@@AquaLady153 and leaves* - how you gonna correct someone's spelling and miss that one?
@@swine13 I did, but I guess it was deleted 🤷🏽♀️😁
If you blend from light-to-dark in a circular motion the color blends much more effectively
It’s so exciting and satisfying to see all those sharpie colors!
Doing timestamps
0:00 1 marker
4:10 2 markers
6:21 3 markers
There ya go
I worked through this as you dod and it really improved my skill! You are a good teacher and I am glad I came across your videos. Top class :D
+Lauren Maslin, wow! This is great to hear. Thanks for sharing.
I now have a new medium to use, THANK YOU!!!
Just found your channel and love it already
i like the one marker blend because it is more
together and not as choopy as the second and third one
I didn't think you could blend with sharpies but I was wrong. I will be trying this with my class:)
+Laura Stewart, I'm glad I could show you something new. Have fun with your class, and say hi to them for me. 😊
Super old comment but I find that the BIC Intense markers blend well also!!!
Mahalo Jennifer for this series, look forward to trying out these techniques :D
+TropicalRain, thanks for watching. 🌺😊

The best one is the solo marker effect
Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to stop by and say that I am using this technique on one of my coloring pages and it looking nice. Thanks for the tip.
+Rozalyn Leslie, this makes me so happy. Thanks for coming back and letting me know. Have fun!
For a second, I thought this wasn't possible with Sharpies. Wrong again! Good stuff.
Unrelated your nails are fabulous.
I’m 35 and love colouring so this I will be using on some pictures of mine
One of my drawings came out so well with a dark blue as a base and dark green
Love technique videos on top of pen comparison videos
Thank you soooo much. Ive been struggling with Sharpie shading since I was 16. Im 20 now.
Very interesting.
Omg! I LOVE this series! I own a few sharpies, but now I'm tempted to go buy more!! Thanks!!

Wow that’s brilliant! Who knew? You explained this very well!

What is your opinion...bdw lovely nails🙂
your videos are amazing
How do you not stain or contaminate the markers using this technique? Is there a way to clean them if they do get contaminated?
They are alcohol based so the alcohol pushes the foreign color off the tip eventually
Very informative, if you don't teach art in some capacity, then you should do. Your tutorials are excellent.
+Jason John thank you! This is the only place I teach art currently. I would love to get an art teaching degree but my health won’t allow me to go back to school. Yay for UA-cam!
It would be cool to see the color variations with the stippling from the previous video.
+Julie M, ooooo that sounds beautiful! 😍
Yesssss
At this point I’m just binging this because it’s satisfying… like.. I don’t even own sharpies what the.. 😂
Thanks
Beautiful
I allways knew you could blend with sharpie
This helped a TON!!
Is there a way to blend 3 different colors and make it look good

What kind of paper are you using?
Can we see how much it bleeded
Do Bics work the same as Sharpie?
+Heather Woodward, they work very similar to Sharpies. Have fun!
I have Sharpies but they are ultra fine ones
can you do more blending like with yellow or red or pink or even peach pls and thank you so much you really helped me and you can cheak out my channel as well thx pls do more vids on it 😀😀😀😀😀😀

Thanks this is helpful
She blended this in better than I did in middle school
does it get the tip of the markers dirty to convine the darker ones with the lightest ones?
first like and comment ❤ cant wait for more from this series! x
+Ashleigh grady !, yay!! So glad you are enjoying them...I'm going to go edit the next one right now!
LIFE SAVER TYSM!
+Maya with a pen, you're welcome. 😊❤️
Sharpie green
Can we use A4 paper for drawing with sharpie markers?🥺
I typically use this method but with two marker blending.none of my markers have yet to contaminate
Hi, I love your videos. I have a question for you. They gave me some markers to the alcohol and they have dried. I have not used them yet. And they cost a lot of money. How can I retrieve the bookmarks? You know it? Thank you very much.
+Rebeca Rodríguez, check out the frugal crafter UA-cam channel. She has a video about reviving alcohol markers. Good luck!
Does the 2 marker technique work for color pencils?
For me the one marker worked out the best for me
+Vlog Magic, thanks for sharing your experience. I love hearing feedback.
May I ask what paper you are using? Is sharpie alright to color in ordinary bond paper?
+Shiningstella On DA I think I have listed the paper in the description of the video and I think I talk about paper in the first video in this series.
I think I have all the Sharpies. I've been collecting for a long time. Do you happen to know how many different colors of sharpies there are? Just the fine tip and ultra fine tips. I keep my sharpie paint pens separate. Just curious. It looks like you have quite a few.
+Awesome Amy, I know the sharpie website says how many colors are available. You could check there.
I have been blending Sharpies for years. Mine are much smoother, not streaked.
And some say sharpies don't blend. Awesome video!
(watches videos about copics): *cries in broke*
(watches videos about sharpies): *laughs in high schooler*
1 marker for me!

Who else loves the smell of sharpies?!?
I'm here cuz my mom just bought me this but idk how to use it, so I search on YT and got here LOL
And the best thing is that some sharpies are cheap :0
I’m shook...
what kinda paper did she using?
I tried to do it on shrinky dinks
My copics ran out so I used sharpies thanks
Is drawing with sharpies dangerous?? Bc of the fumes? I’ve been using sharpies in my art and just nervous about it making me sick.
+soicey janay check out sharpie’s website for their official answer. Unofficially, there are some people who are more sensitive than others and some who say they should only be used in well ventilated areas. Most people don’t bother and have no problems.
Coloring Pages Bliss thanks for replying back very informative! ☺️
Does this work on skin?
+Sunshine Pineapple I have never tried...let me know.
