- Cheap Marker Review! // Ohuhu Alcohol Markers
Today I am going to review and show you how to color with Ohuhu alcohol markers. I have seen them online and was curious if they would perform well because they were so inexpensive and the company sent me a set for review purposes. Here is a link to the set I am using: amzn.to/2hJ9MX1 and here is a coupon code good for 15% off this set: 15Frugal Offer good through 11/15/17 11:59pm PDT

Cardstock I worked on: Neenah Classic Crest Solar white: amzn.to/2zk1E96

Review: These double ended art markers feature a fine tip bullet nib and a chisel tip and are filled with alcohol ink*. They have an oval barrel much like a Copic marker. *3 markers are fluorescent water-based markers/highlighters.
(Pros)
Low Price-Around 50 cents a marker.
Great selection of colors (77 alcohol pens)
Good blending ability.
Gray identification band on the end with bullet tip to make finding the fine tip end easier.
Markers provided crisp lines on the paper I used with no feathering.
Good layering ability (you can layer up colors to get darker shades.)
(cons)
There is no brush nib so blending over a large area or palette blending is limited.
One marker arrives with a loose cap but it was easily fixed with a few drops of denatured alcohol-Just make sure you cap them tightly as with ANY alcohol pen.
This set could use a medium light violet and medium light brown to round out the colors but you could add those colors in from other brands is you like as long as they are alcohol based.
The 3 waterbased highlighters were an odd choice, I'd rather have 3 more alcohol pens (a clear blender, mid violet and light brown) in stead of those.
Bottom line these pens are a steal, I have never tried alcohol pens that were this inexpensive, they are half the price of a Sharpie! I think this is the perfect set for someone starting out or someone who want's an extra set for travel or for a teen who is getting into markers on a budget. This set is NOT for someone who must have a brush tip marker. I think they are a great buy.

Hi. I have these. And they are great. I had to throw a couple that leaked everywhere. But it was only 2. I actually threw the highlighters away because the pilled the paper so badly. Now I know why. I also bought the set of bianyo markers. They are very cost efficient as well. I like to use them together because the bianyo set has more greys and purples in the mid range. I recommend both sets. Great review. I love your channel. And you are very relaxing to watch. 🌺🌺
I purchased a set called Touch New and I'm impressed with these 35.99 for 80 set...it looks to me like they might all be the same. I figured a great starter then I can get a copic now and again to build up.
Thanks for sharing with our images, Lindsay! We always love seeing what you do with them!
I got these a few months ago because the Copics were just not affordable for me. I have been very happy with them for the price!
thanks for letting me and others know, I was skeptical but I think they are a good deal!
I have these markers, and they work great, especially for the money. Thank you Lindsay. Thanks to you, I learned how to make cards.
aww, thanks Robin and thank you for sharing your experience!
Lindsay, you are a true master of markers. I really enjoyed the demo, and always learn something from your videos.
The face turned out so well. I haven't played with alcohol markers to color my girl's faces so this was a great tutorial for me. I've debated on getting this brand's markers for some time. Perhaps it's time I got them. Love your leaves which were also filled with valuable techniques. Thanks Linsay, Jane
I really enjoyed watching you demonstrate these markers...thanks for the face tutorial.
What a great review: I like that you bring up the weaknesses & great tips ie. denatured alcohol as opposed to regular alcohol & applying the actual color to cap. All very useful especially affordability. Thank you Lindsay.
I absolutely love your reviews, plus getting to watch you work your artistic magic is always fun.
I must say that I get really happy whenever I see other artists using pipettes! This was such a fantastic, fantastic review of a marker I've never heard of. I don't use markers very often (I have a large set of Copics I bought for a project, that I never use), but am always fascinated how other artists use them successfully. These are such a great deal, especially for beginners. And I wholly agree - it's all about practice. Thank you for sharing your insight and experience with this. Definitely something to consider as a future purchase for myself or my kids. My only question (if I missed it in the video) is whether you'd buy them over another brand, like Copic? Cheers! :)
Hey my Maine friend. Great Review. Great top idea so she was decent.....huge smile. Nice job on the face.....enjoyed!!!!
she turned out awesome! you did good with what markers you had, nice!
Thanks for the review. These have been in my Amazon wish list for months.
Oh gosh! I have wanted this kind of marker forever but they were too expensive...I've gotten 7 or 8 Copics over the years...but not enough to work well together. This is a SUPER DEAL! The coloring is gorgeous! Thank you Lindsay!
Thanks Marci! The good news is that you can use these with the copics you have:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Yay! This is awesome! Is the rule, to use a!cohol ink on your stamp if you're going to use alcohol markers?
Thank you for the review! They are on my Christmas wish list... been looking at them for a while, but didn’t know how to rate them ... so thank you for the review!!!
Thank you so much for showing these markers. Just the name makes me want some, in fact I bought the small set of metalics for Mermaid tailsw and they also work well. I've wanted copics for a long time but couldn't justify the price so.... now there is an alternative.. You "ROCK"
I hope you will request a sample of the TouchFive markers for review. A couple of months ago I got 48 "Animation" colors for $30 (delivered at LIGHTNING SPEED) on ebay and would like to see a comparison. The same supplier was selling15 colorless blenders for $6.59, which could probably be used with any alcohol markers.
Thank you for this review. I loved how you colored the leaves and the girl. This markers looks very nice :)
thank you:)
Thank you so very much for doing this!!! I've been eyeing those markers for quite a while on Amazon. I always learn so much from you. I really appreciate you taking the time to pack all those little details in (like the denatured alcohol). I would really enjoy seeing you do the white Ohuhu marker and its friends tested out that were supposed to work on porcelain (I think you said) - you may have already done that one! I will look.Thank you!! Hugs--- Wendy
I have not yet but it is coming soon!
Wow...Love your review! I don't have any markers and I will purchase these. Thanks, Lindsay for the coupon!
Maples are beautiful - I am making a gift for a housebound friend who loves the autumn and may use this method for a card to go with it.
Cool, give those markers a workout:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I need to - they are the one product I really seldom use.
I have these markers and really like them! Also enjoyed watching your demo!
As a kid we had a kettle and bread-bin and knife rack all in harvest gold! We also had a front parlour ceiling the same colour but that was because my late father smoked 40 a day..! ;)
When we bought this house in 99 we had a harvest gold fridge and oven and avocado green carpeting! It was a sight:) It was all original I suspect in our 1970s ranch:) Luckily I don't think the previous owner smoked:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Most appliances in UK were white (still called “white goods”) until really quite recent years and the only common washing machines you see are white or silver or black or grey I guess. Fridges come in colours, but that’s all. I remember a neighbour having an avocado bathroom suite (Bath and sink and toilet) and thinking they were “posh” as a result! Our front parlour as a kid had one brown wall and three magnolia. The ceiling had cracked-ice polystyrene tiles and the carpet was awful. Late 1990s my parents decided to “do it up” and got new carpet and wallpaper etc. Green walls with 2 wallpapers and a border - very much of the era - with an orange patterned carpet...! Green and orange together...! It was bad taste central...!!!
Indeed, I am pretty have agreed with your comments. Having them always on my handy hands all time, they are easy to use for arthritis hands like mine fir theirs caps easy to open up! Even I am having pricy markers which those are difficult to open up even with scissors as tricks, the sharpie are very easy to use for arthritis hands issue too, even if they are more expensive than Ohuhu! After done a swatches of all my mediums that I am having, all your coloured pencils review you have done through out the years all your commentary’s were well done and very justified! Writing the 11/02/2023 from Quebec in Canada! 😊
Thank you for the highlight, and dry marker tip, I got these a week ago.
you're welcome:) Have fun coloring!
I'm new to alcohol based markers and am thinking about ordering a set of these Ohuhu markers...I thought these would be a good set to get used to working with alcohol based markers,and then move on to Copics if I wanted later..this was a great demo and review and helped me to decide to definitely order a set of these...thanks so much for a great video :)
+Sunshine Hornick I am glad it helped:)
I bought this set of 80 Ohuhu markers off Amazon. I ordered the set on Christmas and I got them yesterday (Dec 29). The markers are completely different than those in your set. The caps were perfectly oval shaped identical to the barrel. There was a MAJOR difference however: there are no color names, just numbers, but the bag of markers did come with a color chart with the colors organized in numrical order. Plus, my markers seem slightly smaller than the previous version of Ohuhu. The highlighters are labeled with and F like FO4, meaning Flourescent Orange 4. I only recieved 2 Flourescents in my set of 80.
thanks for the info. Did they work alright for you?
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich All i have had time to do is swatch them but so far so good!
If you haven't already, you should try the Master markers! You can get a set of 80 for around $80. I have the set of 160, and I love them! It comes in a really nice carrying case (that you could probably use for other markers as well).
Lindsey, Thank you for another fantastic tutorial and product demo! I LOVE what you do! Question: Do you think these would work well for handcoloring photography? On photo paper, that is. Also, I found my answer to the number of markers in set and the expiration of the code. . .happens to be the day after my birthday!
I am not sure, I have never used an alcohol marker on photo paper. I think you would want a softer brush tip so you don't get streaks.
I am glad you pointed out the Fluorescent markers are highlighters and not alcohol ink markers. Very strange that they are in there and that they ARE NOT labeled as such! I used my label maker and made labels to identify that the highlighter markers are Non-Alcohol Highlighter Markers. I just got my set of 80 yesterday. I have watched other reviews and felt that for the price, these are a great deal. I already have several ShinHan Twin Touch and Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers, so I am not sure I am keeping these or gifting them to my teenage daughter. I also think they should have made the storage pouch with the handle and zipper on the long side so the markers are stored horizontally. For those who don't know, you should always store your alcohol ink markers flat or horizontally. Thank you for doing the review, LINDSAY! I used your coupon code when I ordered mine, so I got them even cheaper! Love your videos, you rock!
I flip my bag so the markers lay flat too:)
You are amazing Lindsay, how you can draw something like that just blows me away. Alcohol markers are definitely on the upnow. I got a small pack of Spectrum Noir. Question: Can I use different alcohol markers together because Stampin' Up have just released their alcohol markers that come in two colours (a light and a dark); so I was thinking of investing in some of these colours that I haven't got in my Spectrum Noir selection?
yes, you totally can if they are alcohol based and I do all the time:) The only markers that are solvent and not alcohol that I know of are Chartpak.
That "I don't know what leaf it is" is a chestnut leaf. I love your videos.
oh, thanks for letting me know:)
These markers look amazing! Love your demo! TFS
Been wanting to get some alcohol markers but not in my budget. So glad you did this review now I can safely spend my money on these ohuhu pens. First item on my Christmas list.
+Jami Womack I am happy it helped! I hate to waste money on bad supplies too:)
Hi Lindsay, You have done a great job on the review! and your colouring is lovely, I just checked to see them, but they don't send to Australia, that is a shame!! TFS, Cheers Anna.
oh, that is a bummer:(
Thank you - i learned some blending techniques from your video
So glad you tried these markers I don't have any extra money to buy markers that cost very much your videos I truly enjoy so much. I am a newbie to adult coloring and have no artistic talent at all. Would love to have money to make cards like you do and create such awesome one's barely have enough to pay my bill's. A family friend got me a big set of prismacolor pencils last year for Christmas and another friend got me 2 100 sets of gel pens. So have enjoyed coloring with them so much but have seen how awesome people using markers I wanted to get some but the price's have been way over my budget I saw them on Amazon and put them on my wish list because other's said they were good markers too. So glad you think they are good too am going to buy them. Since you think so too. Can't wait think so too.I am going to buy them and have so much fun coloring with so many different color's like everyone else does too buy me a colorless blender and be all set. Can't wait to see your next video. They really help me so so much. Learn something new with each one I watch.
+Brenda Snider another awesome look is using prismaolor over a marker colored image. Have fun!
awesome pens! The face and leaves are lovely! I think the unknown leaf looks like a buckeye (horse chestnut) leaf maybe?
Love these vibrant colours! Thank you!
Your girl looks great Lindsey! I do love how you can change simple into fantastic! Your review was informative,,,, well done! Thank you!👍🤗
J. C. I actually thought the girl favors Lindsey a bit, 'specially around the eyes!
I really want to see you review the new alcohol markers that Stampin up just came back out with.
I might grab some during sale a bration
wow... nice markers! that is so much cheaper than other markers!! how do they compare to copics pens?
Thank you for this tutorial, learned a lot!
I got a set of 80 Touchfive markers which I don't like I must have got a bad set, when I use my Micron pen to draw the outline of my image some of the flesh tone colors like salmon pink skin white and a couple other ones will washout the outline and lot of the color numbers and color names on top of the cap are either faded or smeared and that's how it was when I bought the markers brand new. Watching your video I decided to buy the Ohuhu markers set of 80.
Great vid! I thought I was on the only one who uses address labels to make swatches on my markers? I mean, it's already sticky and everything. lol! :D
I know, why not:)
Harvest gold, avocado green and coppertone! Ah yes, I remember them well.
Phyllis 4466 Me, too, as decor in the 70s. LOL Fortunately, it did not ruin my love for all colors Autumn!
I just received a few 80 sets thru a friend..and I love em.!!!!! Even tho I didnt pay for em..still great for that price!!!
Thanks for the review. My markers arrived yesterday!
enjoy:)
I got a few packs of Spectrum Noirs back when you told us about the $5 each sale. But I only got browns, yellows, and the lighter-skin flesh tones. So I also got a pack of Sharpies, which soooorrrt of fills out other colors? But I don't like how dark Sharpies are! Anyway, long story short, when I can afford it again I'm gonna have to get these! Thank you for your review!
+veryberry39 these will gall in the middle of those sets so you will be good to go:) the coupon is only good through the 15th but they are only $38 reg price:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich. NOV. 15? Sorry if I missed this
Great video Lindsay! 😁
I wish the sellers would contact me so I can try them out LOL.
wow, thanks so much.......... what is the stamp you used for the face? (or did you draw that out yourself, as you usually do? and if you did, you should create that into a stamp!!!)
LOL, no, it is a Stampendous stamp and I lined to it in the video description. I love the Stampendous cling stamps for marker coloring because they are real rubber, HUGE and cheap:)
Thanks for the review and code...I just ordered a set for myself... :)
Got my markers today... Love them!!! :)
"Potato Brown" ...lol!!
I know LOL, but an accurate description (although I am from maine and potatoes come in dozens of colors!)
I Love Potato and all it's carbohydrate buddies! lol!
Thank you! A friend has a son who would like to try copics. He is a teenager and she was looking for alternative options. I sent her this video and your Dick Blick studio marker video
thanks! The blicks are more like Copic sketch but if you don't need the brush tip these are 1/4 the price
I love my Ohuhu markers! It's the only set I could afford to start. I buy a few Copics here and there on sale but this set is good for me.
thanks for sharing your experience:)
it is so fun to watch your creativity. Can you tell me the attraction/preference of using alcohol markers vs water based? When you would use one vs the other.
it just depends on the mood I am in or look I want to create or what paper and inks I used to stamp
I got the similar Soucolor brand, the 48 pack was $20 and it has a lot of flesh tones.
Great review! I am looking for pastel or lighter shades, I have the whole set of the blick markers but they don't have a lot of lighter shades. I even bought the spectrum noir pastels set and they were all too dark! Do you have any recommendations?
if you already have the blick I'd have a look at Copic, they have really light tones that start with the color letter and then 00 for light, 000 for super light or 0000 for practicly clear. Anything with an 00 will be a lighter range (or the lightest that other brands make) than other brands. If you can find a store that sells them and you can bring your swatches it will be your best bet. Good luck:)
I just ordered a set and used your coupon code. I'm new to this, so I think this is a good starter set for me to practice and see if I like it. Thanks for the tutorial. Have a great day.
+jerilee kerr I think you will enjoy them:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Was it $38.00 *with* the discount code or *without*? Thank you. Also, I forgot how many in the set.
It was $38. Before the $8.50 shipping. So the code helped offset the shipping fee by a little over $5. + My tax. So around $42 after shipping and taxes. I think it's still a good deal for the 80 markets. I'll give them a try and we'll see. Thank you.
jerilee kerr. This is *very* weird. I posted the original post of this thread (about using the markers on photography, etc.) and it showed up as your post. Has anyone every seen that happen before? Very strange. Feels like I'm in the twilight zone. LOL
Karen Lemonds . I'm not sure. I was watching Lindsey with the Frugal Crafters review of these markets. I think something like this had happened before on another site. I'm not sure if it's from You Tube or what. I'm just enjoying the time people make great videos on how to use our supplies. Have a great day.
Great review Lindsay! Thank u
Well I know which markers I'm going to settle with. Now i have been che king these out on Amazon and Ebay. Just was not sure if I should get them. But they seem great on ur video. So thanks for the help on my should I or should i not.
you are very welcome:)
Thanks so much for the honest review and coupon code need to get these on payday
you are welcome:)
Getting mine from eBay bc the 2018 ones look cheap..even tho they are cheap it's just that I don't feel comfortable when the caps don't stack onto each other 😓
Nice! Thanks for sharing, I love your gal. So cute!
Great tips again!
Thanks I have had these for a few months and I love them but a few are drying out. What type of alcohol did you use?
denatured, you can get it at a hardware store
So can you not use rubbing alcohol?
Don’t most alcohol markers bleed through the paper even if it’s say.... 140 lb. Strathmore Windpower type of paper?
Just wondering how you would compare them to the copics. Do they blend as well?
I think the brush tip plays a huge part in ease of blending so if you compare them with a Copic Sketch or Ciao the copics will bend better for the sake of the brush tip, The inks in all alcohol pens are very similar. Compared t the original copics (bullet and chisel tip) the results will be similar.
Question. I have 75% of Specruim Noir markers but I really want the brush tips. How are these markers compared to Specruim Noir markers? I was thinking to add these for more color options.
xisobelx373 I don't have a coupon I have 75% of the markers. I don't have the 2 new sets.
these have very similar tips to spectrum noir, they are not brush tipped markers. I am not sure how much overlap you would have with your spectrum noir but I will post a picture of my swatch on my blog tomorrow if you want to compare with what you have:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich That would be awesome!!! Thank You!!!
Shelly Ray Wow how did you get 75% off of them that's awesome. Omg wish someone would give me that much off of them I would be like yes yes yes I will order them. Lol. Just would appreciate if you wouldn't like letting me know. Thanks if you wouldn't mind.
She did not get 75% off, she was stating the amount of markers she has.
Amazon send you those markers to tryout, I'm assuming you got those for free if that's the case then how did you get them for free.
Amazon has many different sellers, this one was Ohuhu and they contacted me and asked if I would try some of their products. These had been requested by viewers so I agreed.
Does that not make a mess of the marker tips
Nope, if you ever get a stain on a marker tip just scribble it on a scrap of paper but the ink wants to go to the dryest point (the paper) so it is not an issue:)
I just bought the set a few weeks ago so this came in handy! I am wondering if you can use these markers for the stamping technique where you color the stamp before you use it (instead of using an ink pad). Do you recommend? Thanks!
you will want a waterbased marker for that, these would dry too fast and stain your stamps.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich ooo! Gotcha. Thank you! :)
Does the set come with a colorless blender?
no it doesn't but any colorless alcohol blender will work.
Love the lady- you did a wonderful job with her
I tried to put this request on your blog/video requests, but can't for the life of me figure out how to "make a comment" on your website, so I'm asking here: If you could only have 1 full set of markers (and there are only these 2 options) to use with your watercolor paintings, which would you choose, Tombows or Zig clean color real brush markers and why (I don't think either of them offer refills)?
Bev Roberts, Tombows have marker type tips and Zig Real Brush markers actually have a brush, like a watercolor brush (sort of) tip. Hope this helps a little. 😃💖
boy, it is a personal choice, they are both high quality but they are also both dye based so they will fade over time. I think if you want the to use with watercolor painting only I'd go with the Winsor & Newton watercolor markers. They are wonderful but more expensive per marker but there are not as many colors to collect if you are looking for the full set. Waterbased marker will work with one another and those 3 brands offer open stock options so I'd pick up one of each single marker and see what you think:)
Thanks, Lindsay. I do have a few of the Winsor & Newton markers, but the problem with those is that they are markers, LOL. I really wanted something with a real brush tip. Why can't they make a product similar to the Zigs but with true watercolor pigments and lightfastness (rhetorical question). Have you ever wondered why no makes such a product?
Yes, thanks! I do not want a marker style tip so the Tombows are a no.
I wish I could look that good.
Can you try the master markers?
I have been curious about them!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I have the 80 set but they are the only markers I have ever owned and don’t know if they are good or not. I personally like them but have never had anything to compare them to
There is cheaper ones that are 17.50
What paper do you use? Mine feathers soooo much 😰😰😰
Neenah classic crest or marker paper
@@thefrugalcrafter tysm!!
Tried using the 15% off code it said wasn't the right code I have never used a code before I put all of it together without any space's could that be the problem? I didn't try it just got out of it until I checked with you make sure I typed in 15frugaloffer if you could please let me know or any of you that got it to work for you surly would appreciate it so much.
I just tried it, and its just 15frugal don't include the word offer. Hope this helps!
Kittyluver226 I just tried it without it too after I went back to look at it I had something else on there too think that's why it wouldn't let me use it? I have never used a coupon code before so it's all new to me. Will try deleting that one if I can figure out how since I was already at the checkout now. Please if you can let me know if there's anything else I might try to get the coupon to work. Appreciate so much your comments trying to help me out. You are so kind to let me know. 😃
+Kittyluver226 thank you for helping her! I am just seeing this comment now:)
+Brenda Snider it is just 15Frugal delete the word offer:)
Ahhhhhh we share the same name lol
I have three fluorescent markers green yellow and orange
+David Rankine those are water based, its weird. I put them with my water based markers
Okay thanks that's a Good tip because i use it when i don't need to a pick it because I pick from colour
Great tutorial, but you promised coupon discount and I can’t find it
She stated it at the beginning of the video. 15Frugal is the code, though.
+Susanne Phillips it is typed in the description:)
Can someone tell me, please, if these markers are the same with the TouchNew of AliExpress?
I am not sure, sorry:(
