 greens, purples, very nice. Just want to, just want to be there. Okay, for some reason uhu-hu, I cannot say the name, is it uhu-hu? Uhu-hu have sent me 300, 320 markers and I'm going to review them because I love alcohol markers, they're kind of my jam, so we're gonna see. That's a bit crazy. Oh my gosh, shut that away, take it off, what an earth. You guys, this is why I do YouTube, I'm in it for the loot to be real. Look at this, all for me. What the heck? Okay, so uhu, can't say the name and they've sent me 320. Uhu-hu have sent me 320 markers as you can see, it's a little bit OTT, but very much appreciated. Um, markers are kind of my thing, I don't know, what's this? If you put, what, if you are coloring on thin paper, please put this between them. Oh, that's very, very good for me. Swatches, I don't swatch, so um, and many, many, anyway, I digress. The point was that alcohol markers are kind of my jam, I made all my comics with them. These bad boys, so yeah, I love um, Winsor & Newton at the moment, I'm kind of into uh, I like the brush markers and I believe that these are brush markers, it's lovely, lovely, jubbly, but these are kind of like the more reasonably cheaper version of Winsor & Newton and probably if you're on the uh, YouTube sphere, art sphere, you already know that, but just in case you don't, these are, there's the train, these are the cheaper side of alcohol markers and we've got to go away train. And I don't even know where to begin, because there's so many, but yeah, let's go, let's go, let's go, oh my, this is fun, why are you doing this? So at the beginning of this sketchbook I was into drawing some princesses, it's a doodle of myself on a train, I thought I could do doodles of myself on transport, I don't know why, I thought that was like gonna be a cool idea. Me traveling to different places, I was like, how interesting is that though, you know, like as a consumer of art stuff, how interesting is it? Um, and for this thing, which has like put this in between the pages, it's too small, but I'll give it a go, I have this paper, so either way. Okay, I'm very excited, as you can tell, because this is just, so at the moment I am a little bit obsessed with like period, not periods, period pieces, so I'm wondering if I want to do like another comic in a style of like Victorian era or maybe even earlier. I obviously did a short comic, well not obviously because you may not know, but I did a comic in the Edwardian era, a short comic, and I really enjoyed that because it just, I feel like it adds a lot of like variety to the story, and also it's interesting, I'm interested in, I'm interested, I like, I really like historical fiction, and I think this would be fun, but I don't know, also these pens are really nice so far, that's too bright for my hair, my hair, for her hair. Sorry about the train, these videos are getting more and more casual aren't they, can't help it, lid nut by train, that's very dark, the thing is it does look a little bit darker than the pen lids, but whatever, it's fine, I can work with that, you can figure that out I guess. But yeah, I'm interested in doing another comic of like a period drama or something, not horror necessarily, just something different, maybe magical fantasy historicalness because yeah, I think that is something would be fun to do, loving these pens, feeling very nice, they're blending really well, definitely see why the internet kind of goes mad for them, especially considering their price point, I'm just going to check the price because, okay so for for instance, for 48 of them, they're £20 and for 48 of the brush markers, they are usually £90, so a slight difference in price point there, so these for instance are triple the price than these ones, which is a bit crazy, I wonder if you get like more ink in them, I don't know if there is a way to like tell that, I don't think there is but yeah, so these are the ones I usually enjoy more and I don't know if it's the paper but these seem to be blending into each other a little bit more than brush markers would, but I mean you know like triple the price, so it's some things you can work around a little bit I think, so for instance you can see here that this is blending into each other slightly but I'm not hating it you know, it kind of works, it kind of looks fine, you probably just have to bear that in mind, you get used to the, you get used to it as you use them I guess because you're just doing a lovely poofy dress which I don't actually know the era of, it doesn't look, I typed in Victorian garb but this looks a little bit more earlier than that so I'm not sure if that's the case but whatever, well no it definitely is the case, that it's not Victorian but hey ho, I'm gonna do the hand, the thing is for me I don't necessarily need it to be like pristine, not not blending because I like to go in with a kind of pencils afterwards anyway to do outlines and stuff like that's kind of my thing, so doesn't really matter to me, so I enjoy it and also like probably after it dries you can go in, I think I was too quick to like bring those colors together so that's something I'm gonna keep in mind to try and I'll wait for it to dry a little bit before going in, okay this thing is just not working for me, kind of made her neck a little bit too short but I live you learn, this is when it kind of all comes together, when I first start doing like layering down colors on paper and film it, people are usually like where is this going, like what is she doing but as I add the line work in it kind of makes sense right, and it is something that I really enjoy doing, I don't know why it's just this type of style, it just hits me guys, just like it, I like also leaving some maybe not doing line not everywhere but just hinting, so I hope that kind of works, I like doing shadow in a kind of violet color with these pans, so I'm wondering if that would work, there's obviously I could use a lavender blue which is like a cooler, a cool shadow or a more pinky violet, I guess this is mauve color for like a warmer shadow and I always like using warmer shadows I'm not sure why, just think it makes it more cute, yeah so that's my top tip, use colors, shall I zoom in a little bit more so you guys can see a little bit better, that could probably work a little bit better content, so this is just a chatty video and I was wondering if you guys kind of like these videos, video style, I know that it's a lot easier to edit for sure, is this the, yeah this is the shadow of the music and it's kind of more chill so I don't know if you guys just grab whatever you're working on at the same time it works out, quite nice, I know I enjoy like watching videos like this so yeah what I'm thinking of this character, I'm just looking up like Pinterest stuff and copying it basically for ideas and then maybe I'll go away and like draw my own thing and we'll move her about and do a scene or something but this is purely just like inspiration beginnings of something I would do so if I was gonna make a comic I would be just drawing loads of stuff of this time or whatever interests me so what interests me about doing a comic like this is definitely the outfits and the characters, maybe less so the scenery but the scenery is definitely something to consider as well because it's a totally different timeline to this timeline that we're in right now, do I mean timeline or time? it's not necessarily a different timeline and she has like a pink, a white dress on but I'm making it pink and I'm not sure if, oh I went for that and that is not the best colour, I'm not sure if it will work but let's try, that is really bright, well I've already like messed it up there with that colour so might as well go for it but yeah I love brush markers, it's just so nice just layer them down like that, it's very fun, I love these fluorescent colours, they're so crazy they have no place in a period drama but let's go for it because I already messed up that area so might as well try it, am I right guys? yeah I do love how like alcohol markers just layer and don't leave marks, I remember finding alcohol markers for the first time in uni and just being like this is crazy how they just, they're not like felt tips where they just don't blend and they leave like really weird marks but hey, this dress is going to be disgusting in colour but whatever, we're just testing out markers so I'm kind of already attracted to these luminous colours which are just incredible to me so I was obviously going to test those out, she could just be a very rich princess I guess who just you know gets all this like crazy silk colour dye that doesn't exist for anyone else so let's just go with that yeah so like I said I like using colour pencils but I really like the polychromos ones, let me know if you guys have any suggestions for soft colour pencils that are similar because I feel like these polychromos are quite expensive but I do really love them, I definitely am obsessed with doing line work with the Faber-Castell polychromos black pencil like that's that's what I use, I bought many many many of them and they are, if you come to my office they're just lying about the place I don't know why I just really enjoy them as like line work, I think I discovered that when I first did Emily is Burning I was like oh I want to do a line work in a black pencil and I think at the time I just used any old black pencil like a soft thick black pencil and then I realised that I love it, I love that line quality, I love the like the texture of it I think yeah I don't know, I don't know about you guys maybe you hate it but for me it's just just I enjoy it more than like inking because I used to ink, I used to use like a nib and ink and then I used brush pens which were very hard to use because they're kind of you know unless you're an absolute master at them they're quite hard to use but they give you a great like thick and thin line but I feel like there's something really expressive about using this pen salt as a liner I don't know what do you guys think I mean somebody must like it to be fair because people do buy the comics so you someone out there must like me using this as a oh god my light just flickered as a liner I need to sharpen it though for some reason my sharpener is in the bathroom don't ask you ever get that thing where you're like oh I need a sharpener for my eyeliner and you just go and use the sharpener that is not meant for that no okay just me um yeah I'm not sure I like her face but whatever sorry face but totally liking these pens um considering their price point pretty good pretty nice you know uh I can yeah like I said I can see why people kind of rave about them or younger people use them as well that don't necessarily have the money to kind of spend on loads of expensive pens not that I do either but I just like using them but yeah let's see I like this color this is a light lavender this kind of reminds me of a darker pen that I'm obsessed with um this one which is what the flip is it all kid I feel like that's the wrong one but one of these colors that I use for shadows all the time and basically always run out of it's a very similar color to that so quite a good dupe for me yeah I definitely am enjoying these pens um they just sent these to me by the way then it's not sponsored or anything so totally what I believe in my honest opinion I don't know why people say that because it's like well I would give my honest opinion anyway but I guess you can't say anything too negative if you're being paid I'm not sure how that works uh yeah okay I think we need more color on the bottom of her dress grayish cherry ooh it's very nice that's probably the color I wanted that bit to be but it didn't work out um it's kind of like a non-color because it's just kind of slightly cream but that's kind of what I was going for so I've been super busy with work um recently and I think that's kind of eaten into me making videos and stuff a little bit you may have noticed you may have not you may not care at all at what I say but yeah it's uh it's going so these colors are so bright um so if you see me not posting as often that's kind of why but I still want to post it's not like I mean I don't really you know get much from posting if that makes sense like monetary wise but I really still I love making videos and I've always made videos just for fun so makes sense that I continue it's just that it's like exhausting on the weekend you know when you my god what first world problems right but still just explaining why maybe I'm not posting as often but here we go I'm probably just running a bit as well I feel like where's that color I liked it wasn't my it was the light lavender right the one I liked for the colors I'm gonna make a note of that because I'm gonna forget um which one I like for the shadows I believe there is a lavender one that I use for shadows as well on this one but okay so there's like her feet coming out the bottom which makes sense because otherwise it looks a little bit too like her legs are really short I remember when I was a kid looking at the box art for um Aladdin and I think it was Aladdin 2 where Jasmine's like in this wedding garb basically and I was like oh my god I am in love with that image and I was trying to draw it and like copy it and I just couldn't and I think I got frustrated and I was like I can never draw even though I was probably about nine or whatever I was like I'm not amazing at this I hate it I still have that feeling I guess I guess a lot of us do it's kind of standard right I'm not instantly good at something it annoys me I don't want to do it anymore so she's like scrunching her dress but I'm not sure I'm gonna be that very well but hey ho anybody else do that like copy um videotape art I'm showing my age here but whatever guys I'm old uh videotape art when they were a kid it was always fun slash I was like why can't I be better at this I think as well like that feeling of like not being suddenly good at something was something that I definitely had to get over as a kid because and realize that you have to work for things if you want to get better and stuff because I was just like why am I just good at this and I felt I feel like that's the case with a lot of stuff that I did I was probably just like why am I amazing and then steadily learned that I probably had to put in the time to get better at stuff but a lesson learned though I hope no I'm like why am I good give up YouTube but yeah so I like her I like these pens uh I think we'll do another person I'm not sure if she's finished oh and just blob here so she's got like a weird um not a weird thumb but a hard position to draw it's got a weird thumb this model no it's hard uh yeah hard position to draw so it kind of went out the lines a little bit there in the color but because of how I did it but I still kind of like that it kind of adds a texture and visual interest to it and that's my reasoning and I'm sticking to it I don't care what anyone else is she has a necklace on but I feel like I've made her like this decolletage area way too small uh yeah so there we go that's princess number one princess I mean she could be not a princess but you know this next one I think I'm just gonna use the colors as they are I'm not gonna test them I kind of did that here but I'm gonna try it again here um because I think it just makes for an interesting piece because I kind of find that interesting that color scheme even though I wouldn't have picked it out necessarily so right now I'm going to draw um El Fanning if you can name is from The Great if you guys haven't watched that show and you like period dramas it's kind of so funny it's um one of those ones where they kind of use like modern language sometimes and it's just very silly and I really like it but yeah so what I do is I just kind of like outline the shapes I'll put her arms there I should put the arms in first because I'm gonna draw over them she's very pale in this show so let's go with mellow peach it was very yellow but oh um yeah so I just block in the shapes that I see and I find this handy as well because I feel like if you look at the negative space whilst you do this it kind of helps a lot and you can if you're just blocking out a shape I think it helps with the accuracy of the drawing and even if it's not like super accurate accurate why can't it say that word even if it's not super accurate accurate why can't I say that if it doesn't look the same it's fine because it's your own flair I can't speak good good to know um yeah so I kind of like this messy way of designing making um I don't know if you guys know that if you're new here I want to try this for a fluorescent hell fluorescent yellow who got a bit scared there I was like well honestly just for the highlights because she has a very shiny like silk but kind of more of an olive color dress on so this is definitely not the color scheme but I like it so we're gonna go a bit crazy we're going crazy guys today um she's sat on a bed so her dress is kind of like underneath her pooping a little bit here uh where's that color is this the color see this this green the glass green does not really look the same as that does it so I don't know maybe they could work on the lid color I know that's probably like very hard to do and here's where them kind of blending into each other quite well comes in handy because that's kind of what I wanted to do so like I said before the Windsor Newton's don't blend out that much as in into each other so this is kind of nice um but you can use it purposefully as well as accidentally so I don't know if that made any sense but I hope it did I want yellow hair for her so there's a lemon yellow or there's a melon yellow which one will work I think I'm gonna go with melon yellow to play it safe like for a darker and then you can always add a yellow pencil on top hopefully she's got like curly locks her hair done up in curls here like a strange hairdo which I can't really understand but kind of curls away this is a very definitely a very like fluorescenty um colored drawing but hey oh is that also like very plain dress it's just that it's quite beautiful because it's silk and it's very like well tailored so just it is stunning but I'm not sure I've done it justice with this color scheme try this light green just to finish off the areas I wonder if I add in the fluorescent color now it's gonna like still be as bright but I don't think so I want a really light pink so let's go for this uh what does that say chocolate pink that looks like it's hardly any color which is good because she hardly has color on her face I use this as a shadow actually because she's so light in this image so using this as like a shadow kind of indicates where I should do my line art as well it's kind of helpful um usually you have to do the line art after all the pen if you're using a colored pencil after all the lines that you've done with alcohol markers because always it bleeds and it doesn't look very nice but just bear that in mind if you try to do this style or this way of the way that I do it the thing with this silk dress is that it does have a lot of like um fabric folds and stuff like that which can be quite difficult to do they even needs more like shadow on the dress to indicate the folds I think that one's too light where's the one I like light lavender I don't know if this is probably not dark enough I know this is probably should have done this before I did the line art but it's okay because sometimes you can smudge it to make it look not too bad so this is probably like quite unconventional I don't know if it is an unconventional way of using these pens um compared to say other art YouTubers who probably use it in a more clean way than me um I'm quite messy but I guess it gives you like a idea if you're a messy artist as well of how these pens could be used um not sure if that makes sense but you know what I mean uh yeah so let me know I think this is like really fun when you do her lips she has a very smug face being uh Catherine the Great here I'm not sure I captured her likeness but that wasn't really my intention either draw someone in a nice pretty dress they aged her about a hundred years but it's fine I want to do a blue behind her oh I like this blue that's nice sometimes it's nice to just like indicate a background if you just do a quick sketch because it just lets the object or the person sit in a reality so even if you're not even doing like a proper background it's nice to like hint I think that's probably why you see sometimes when people do character designs they just do like a block of color sometimes around them I think it just helps to sit them in a place yeah but this blue is very nice I'm liking a lot of these colors they are very bright um very nice colors to use I also like to use a white I don't know where it's gone I haven't drawn in a while now because I've been so busy but um not necessarily this one I like the jelly ones but I don't know where it's gone but I'll use this one for now just add some sparkles I love some sparkles so I'm like this is I've ruined this pen um this acrylic edding pen we by using it with pink no it's kind of stuck but oh well I can clean it in a bit yeah this is kind of like quite fun pens love them completely enjoyed using them I hope you guys liked watching me just doodle because I'm probably gonna do more uh videos like this um in the future but yeah thank you so much to Ohuhu Ohuhu for sending me these amazing pens so many and I'm really excited to just keep going keep drawing but right now I'm gonna edit this video and put it up and I hope you guys like this relaxed kind of style so let me know if you did and uh yeah see you around thanks very much for watching and bye
