 Okay guys back to the Ohuhu markers. I have this watercolor paper now This is arches watercolor paper, which is a really great brand of paper. I do like their paper But this is hot press. I prefer when I watercolor to use cold press. So this isn't my favorite Finish of paper that being said I did remember I had this and I'm wondering how the Ohuhu markers will work on this Just in case I don't want it to bleed through So I'm actually this is a watercolor block. I'm not going to use it on the block I'm going to take the paper off if you haven't seen the first video where I swatched everything and I did some basic tests with the markers as far as blending and stuff is concerned and did a simple journal page I'll link that video down below and I'll link the Ohuhu website down below I do think if you're gonna Add alcohol markers to your supplies and or you want to start playing with alcohol markers These are a good affordable affordable brand with a very wide range of colors. This is just the Ka'ala Range and I mean I have two boxes of 60 Hold on. I have two boxes of 60 and two boxes of 24 and other than Black and maybe one or two of the grays being duplicated in at least three of the boxes. There's a lot of colors and Do you need all of these probably not? but You could just get one of them and I think you'd be very happy. They do have one. That's just skin tones. So if you do portraits This might be the one that you want to start with. All right, so I'm I'm gonna check the messages on my phone because of course I've decided to film so it's going off And I need to grab a pencil and I'll be right back I've been doing these illustrator Lee sort of whimsical woodland animals for My son-in-law who is going to be born son-in-law my grandson who's gonna be born in April and I Am gonna show you how I did those but also I want to try them with the Ohuhu markers So I'm gonna start with a number two pencil and I always pick an Animal and I find a live picture on the internet of them And I I live in or the state of Oregon in the United States. So I'm trying to fit Find Oregon animals today. I think we're gonna do a bear I'm gonna just take a screenshot of this because it'll be easier and Let's see Set my phone to not go to sleep Because that's really annoying auto lock never There we go, so we're gonna do this cutie and We're gonna it's not gonna be a realistic painting. We're just using him for inspiration. So in My mind his head is kind of heart-shaped so I'm going to Start with just a light sketch Try to pick out the features that identify him as a bear like that to start with Now we're gonna go over it with pen and clean it up as we go I spend a lot of time turning the paper so as not to get my hand in any wet pen Okay, that's a cute start. So now We'll erase the pencil marks hopefully without smearing the pen Too much and then normally I watercolor these oh see as I said that I smeared the pen Okay, we'll make it work. I'm gonna use the illustration tones. Is that that one? Yes I do like that that you can open the boxes and sort of flip it on its side Like this To use but then it wants to close I have this weight filled with actually beads that I use for my tripod sometimes I'm gonna put it in the lid and whether I have it like this Or like this it'll hold it. It's not gonna flip closed Alrighty, I've got a little Jar with some alcohol in it rubbing alcohol. I've got my brush. I've got one of the blender pens Let's get started and see where we can go with this. I Kind of want to do them in unusual colors The only problem is finding the color that you want Anybody see 990? Where do you where is it? Do you see oh you can't see 287 one out of this one so 660 Probably this one So we're gonna start lighter and work our way darker just like I would with water color Okay, unlike watercolor. I'm gonna do a small section at a time because Alcohol dries really fast, so I'm gonna take which is gonna make it look painterly And again, I'm a watercolorist So painterly is right up my alley No, what does that do to the page? Oh it does bleed through so I mean not really surprised, but yeah So put something there. Oh, is he perfect not by any stretch of anybody's imagination. I had some bleed through Outside of where I wanted him to be but you know what? I'm okay with it. I think he turned out cute regardless it is Does have a significant amount of bleed through but I expected that as it would be with any alcohol marker project I will probably do him again in watercolor too, but he's very cute. I Think I got Better blend with the rubbing alcohol than with a blender pen that being said it's probably just me and I need More practice. I also spilled some alcohol out of my cup and I need to re-swatch a few colors, but you know, I Think it turned out cute regardless. What do you think? so get out your alcohol pens whether you do a drawing like This one or you work in a journal page. This is cute very easy anybody could do this and See what you can do with it if you have alcohol markers, especially the ohuhu markers in your stash of stuff I'd love to see what you're doing with them check out the video description for relevant links and Yeah, don't forget to like share subscribe and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it If you post something on social media with what you've done with your ohuhu markers I'd love to see it tag me in the post.
