Just a quick FYI since I've had some comments about it. I am saying "pilling" not to be confused with "peeling." I have problems with words that start with P and have since I was a kid. Since it has bothered a few I'll definitely try harder to work on enunciation better but I didn't want to confuse anyone. I sincerely apologize if you think I am saying "peeling."
No worries! We all have words that come out the wrong way. Think about teachers, when they make a word mistake, their students are always the witness….but with UA-cam we have it recorded, but you have put yourself out there, and have great information. Thanks for the clarification, anything else is just getting toward the negative side of the issue and I need to finish your tutorial. Been sick this last week and I fall asleep at the weirdest times….must finish to start coloring.
No problems Kori, if people are rude & pick you up about it, then they’re the ones with the problem, not you. I really don’t know why people do it?? I love your videos so keep up the good work & please ignore the negative comments ❤xx
I'm excited for you to use your inktense pencils more! I absolutely love mine, but paper makes a huge difference in the way they will blend out. If using on non watercolor paper, you right the least amount of water is the best option and if using a brush a nice soft brush is better then a stiff one as it won't pill the paper as easily.
Yes. Sadly, in coloring books we're stuck with certain paper lol. That paper I was using was the closest to coloring book ones for demo purposes. Otherwise, I have some great mixed media paper I'd rather use haha.
I always take apart my coloring books when I get them. This way I can scan the pages and save to my computer, then print on whatever paper I feel like using, whether it’s for colored pencils, watercolors, or mixed media.♥️♥️
Wonderful tutorial! I have a small set of inktense and it encourages me to Use them. I'll pass this on to my sister. She was asking me about inktense. Really pertinent information. Thanks very much Kori! ..🧡Hope ya'll are all feeling better!
Thanks for this. I like that you get down to business & provide clear, informative content! I look forward to the new watercolor weekends! Cute! I always want to use my inktense & watercolor pencils but I'm just not as experienced with using them. I usually copy pages onto cardstock & then practice on that but I didn't even think of using the different blenders. Thanks!
i bought a plastic cutting board which works just like that pallette i believe , i e seen so many artists on you tube using them , the cutting board seems the same a bit bigger one side is textures one smooth , also i bought a 2 pack of flexible cutting boards the ones u can roll up to store in a tight space i cut one up into different sizes for different storage att bags and watercolor pencil cases both work incredibly
@@ColorfullyOptimistic honestly i wouldn't mind getting it just because it has caran d'ache logo lol i'm a sucker for packaging and having the pallette wouldn't be a bad idea
Thank you for introducing me to the water based blenders! Didn't know they existed and they're exactly what I was missing for details. Also that water cup is an amazing bonus for me to discover too.
Perfect episode for my Inktense journey. I absolutely the medium, but have yet to learn a lot. I've only used the first 2 methods. Being able to maintain pigment intensity is really important to me. The alcohol marker blender looks like a great way to do that. Having choices always helps. You taught very well as you demonstrated the options. Looking fwd to learn more fr you. With thanks & much appreciation.
Hi Kori, this is excellent content using Inktense in all these various ways! I love my Tombow blender pen when I’m not able to use water for any reason…Thank you for this information, I know a couple of people who will learn from it…Take care!
Kori, thank you for this tutorial. I just received my Intense pencils yesterday, and I am so excited to try them out. I found this very helpful. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Great video! You read my mind...I was just wondering "how to" best use my Inktense pencils (In the past, I've used the Tombow blender) and been SO frustrated by my peeling paper, so now I'll grab an alcohol blender, thanks!
This was awesome!! Complete beginner here with adult coloring, especially with Inktense! This was very helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video!! XO
Great demonstration! I usually use my pallet and put the ink Tense on it and you my water color brush or I lay the colors down then use water brush. All of your methods are wonderful! Thank you sharing this video!
Have been thinking about adding Inktense to my coloring collection and this video is very valuable information to definitely consider. Really enjoyed your in depth breakdown of the overall basics and concepts of this unique medium…great material so Thank you!!!
@@ColorfullyOptimistic soooo my hubby surprised me this weekend and took me away for my birthday 🎂. No internet, no people for 500 acres for 4 days. He said pack your hobby stuff and let’s go. We had a blast and I was able to play with my pencils and books and getting to practice was a ton of fun. Prismacolor still scare me so I started with a set of Cra-Z-Art Timeless Creations. They were nice and better then Crayolas by a long shot. Glad I started with them because 3 mins into coloring I tipped them all over and they went everywhere 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. Not one was broken and so far sharpened them all and still good but had it been the others I would have cried. We are back with internet and I’m buying the Dahle 133 sharpener and a pencil case to hold all 150 of the pencils. Boy, this is one expensive hobbies lol. I down loaded a couple of your videos on coloring hair and they were super helpful. Not anywhere close to you but It was not to bad. Thanks again and hope your doing well.
Hi Kori! The paper pilling is what puts me off using water. However, I do occasionally dabble with watercolor, but then I always see how terrible I am! Hahaha. Anyway, this video is so helpful for me, thank you! I just bought some polychromos pencils from Cult Pens and I wanted free shipping so I added some inktense pencils. Now I have the agonizing wait for the shipment to arrive. It’s driving me a little nuts. I will try a waterbrush, water and brush, and colorless alcohol blender to activate the ink, and judge which method works best for me. Again thank you. 🤗
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I placed my order on 10/7. It shipped on 10/8. It arrived in the US on 10/16 (the Saturday just passed) and it’s only been three days since it arrived in this country I need to be patient. I don’t know how long it takes to clear customs, if that is where it goes. I don’t know. With any luck it’ll arrive today! I also placed an order for a single magazine from Colouring Heaven called Busy World Special #64 on 10/4. It hasn’t arrived either. I think I’ll wait until the end of this month and then get in touch with them. EDIT the day I posted my original comment might have been the day the Cult Pens package arrived in the US. I don’t remember. Anyway, when I saw it had arrived I had a big grin on my face, but now I’m back to worrying. 😅🤣

Great video Kori I've had my inktense an few months an only used them once I really liked them but this is Gona help me get a whole lot more use out of them so thank so much x
Hello. Thank you for ALL of your videos. I always learn something from each. I was wondering the name and place you purchased the watercolor ‘cup’ with the brush holders that you used in this video. I need that in my life. Thanks!
Thank you so much Kori. This is great. I have had the inktense pencils for awhile now and the only thing I did so far is swatch them. I will be buying an alcohol-based blender for sure. Great vidéo!
Thank you for this thoughtful insight into how intense can be used on paper! I have used them on fabric. I found it confusing how different they behave on paper compared to regular watercolours.
I use a small acrylic brush when I want to activate colour in a small area. It holds less water than a watercolour brush of the same size, so that works quite well. I think I’ll have to get an alcohol blender though so I can use them in my books, too.
HI Kori I am having some inktense pencils for Christmas and found this video which is excellent I like the idea of using a blender pen but when you said the paper is pilling is that on all papers or just create space paper with the water blender ?
Today I used inktense on a coloringpage. I used the waterbrush from Derwent and didn’t had wobbly paper. I didn’t used watercoloring paper so maybe the kind of waterbrush is the difference? The downside of the waterbrush from Derwent is that it’s good for details, but not for larger areas.
I have in a mixed media journal, but in adult coloring pages to go back over with water it will not reactivate, but the paper could start to breakdown.
Thanks Kori. That was very informative. I can't really see why anyone would want to use the water based blender if it pills the paper so badly. I wonder if the companies that make them should try to work on that. I just bought a tombow....should have seen this first. I probably wouldn't have bought it. I don't have an alcohol blender yet but will definitely get one. Love the Inktense!
It really depends on the type of medium you’re coloring on and how much water you use. I use these with the pentel waterbrush in Johanna Basfords coloring books and there is no pilling!
Apart from amazon paper I use my inktense with a waterbrush in all my other colouring books and I've never had piling or colour bleed through and the colour turns out beautifully vibrant. ... maybe not enough water control is causing problems.
I've never had bleed through, but there's been pilling with some brands of books. Yes, water control is critical, and that's the one thing that keeps people from using Inktense, which is why I show two non-water alternatives.
I've seen a few people with a little bleed through but that was with big waterbrushes... I dont use the other method.. just because it's my personal preference but for anyone too worried about water it's an awesome way to start. Sorry all my notifications are crazy this last month on UA-cam they seem to show up weeks late or within 5 minutes. You were so right on the flowerscape paper with prismas.. I am in buttery heaven 😁
I mentioned in the video I'm using paper close to what is the cardstock in coloring books, since most of my audience does adult coloring, I wanted them to see how it reacts on the paper they encounter the most.
Can anyone explain how a colorless blender activates the pigment? I like to use the Caran d’Ache blender pencil and it’s completely dry…but the pigment still activates as if I’ve added water. I prefer this method because it preserves so much depth and texture of the layers rather than smoothing it all out. I can also be very super specific and precise as to where I want to activate.
The alcohol marker is liquid or a form of liquid, which activates the pigment. Yes, you can use these and blend them dry, but really, you want to activate them to see their full potential -- just one girls opinion of course.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic but I am using the blender pencil not the marker. One day out of curiosity I decided to try a Prismacolor blender pencil over it and the pigment began changing colors and intensifying just as if I added water. It made no sense to me but it works with every brand of blender pencil I’ve tried.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I can colour in & draw a little but add a brush & it all turns to mess. As Inktense pencils require you to activate the colour with water & a brush thats why I was asking
You would have better results, no pilling, if you used 140# 100% cotton watercolor paper. This paper, if you are using the Neenah 110# card stock listed in the description, isn’t made for watercolor.
Yes, I'm aware. You might have missed where I said I was purposely using cardstock in adult coloring books (as my channel does a lot of adult coloring). So, my goal was to help colorists learn how to activate without damaging coloring book pages.
Yes. I also say the word "pants" weird, but mean "pants" despite how it sounds. I have always had enunciation issues with words that start with the letter P since I was a kid.
Just a quick FYI since I've had some comments about it. I am saying "pilling" not to be confused with "peeling." I have problems with words that start with P and have since I was a kid. Since it has bothered a few I'll definitely try harder to work on enunciation better but I didn't want to confuse anyone. I sincerely apologize if you think I am saying "peeling."

Thank you this is awesome. I do have these pencils but I’ve never really used them because I kind of avoid water when I’m coloring.
I totally hear that. I don't like to use water in all of my books, some just cannot handle the water.

Yes, I did the palette near the end. You get a very vibrant color that way.
Thank you. Made me think that maybe using the rubbing alcohol with a brush could be useful. I appreciate your time :)
Yes, you could. Although the smell would get to me after a bit
This was interesting. I happen to love Inktense and have enjoyed using them. Thank you for sharing experience with them.
No problem at all!

Inktense are quite fun and versatile - even outside of coloring/art. In fact, you can even color on fabric with them and its permanent!
Thanks so much! I didn't know that the blenders could work on intense.
Happy to help!
Great overview! Definitely next level for me but the beauty they each have to give is fun and I look forward to someday getting there.

They are definitely different from watercolor, especially with how they activate and the fact they don't re-lift

HI Kori I am having some inktense pencils for Christmas and found this video which is excellent I like the idea of using a blender pen but when you said the paper is pilling is that on all papers or just create space paper with the water blender ?
Createspace for sure, but there are other good books that just can't take water and will start pilling too.
I love this , what kind of paper you recomend for this.
Well, it depends. Are you using them for mixed media art or coloring books?
Mixed media.
Thanks!
Where do I get this Brushwasher in the EU?
the paint puck cup? They have them on Amazon UK
Today I used inktense on a coloringpage. I used the waterbrush from Derwent and didn’t had wobbly paper. I didn’t used watercoloring paper so maybe the kind of waterbrush is the difference?
The downside of the waterbrush from Derwent is that it’s good for details, but not for larger areas.
I've tested a few waterbrushes and they tend to all do the same really in terms of color payout/performance.
Hi Kori, great video, thank you. Question please, when using the alcohol marker to activate Inktense does it cause bleed through?
Nope, no bleed through as long as you only use a single pass over. I have a few color alongs so you can watch and see how it's done
@@ColorfullyOptimistic that’s great, thank you.
Have you tried layering with water methods over the alcohol method?
I have in a mixed media journal, but in adult coloring pages to go back over with water it will not reactivate, but the paper could start to breakdown.
I've heard the inktense blocks have a chalky texture. Could you perhaps compare the pencils, blocks and palette?
I don't have my blocks anymore but I do have the palette I can compare!
Thanks Kori. That was very informative. I can't really see why anyone would want to use the water based blender if it pills the paper so badly. I wonder if the companies that make them should try to work on that. I just bought a tombow....should have seen this first. I probably wouldn't have bought it. I don't have an alcohol blender yet but will definitely get one. Love the Inktense!
You can still use the Tombow just be very careful and don't move back and forth too much. Keep the layers light so the lines dissolve too
It really depends on the type of medium you’re coloring on and how much water you use. I use these with the pentel waterbrush in Johanna Basfords coloring books and there is no pilling!
Hi Kori, i have these inktense pecils but never used them, and now i can after you give this good information. Is Ryan back in rehab ?.
Hi Rita. No he's not. He is just focusing on recovery 😁

You were so right on the flowerscape paper with prismas.. I am in buttery heaven 😁
Could one use alcohol in the water brush? If so, what type?
I don't recommend it. It will be too much that releases and the smell would be a lot to take in.
Neocolor 1 and 2 are blending with an alcohol marker without the lines.
Neocolors are a soft watersoluble pastel. They are going to react differently than pencil lead for sure.
Very informative...
Thank you
Can I use the inktense for rock painting...
Yes, you can actually. You can even color on fabric. Just remember, it is permanent.
Why not try the demo on 100% cotton wtercolor paper?
I mentioned in the video I'm using paper close to what is the cardstock in coloring books, since most of my audience does adult coloring, I wanted them to see how it reacts on the paper they encounter the most.
