  • This is perfect timing. I've literally just gotten into alcohol markers and bought all the Ohuhu sets. When I went in, I went in all the way. This is incredibly helpful.
  • @bevegrif
    I never would have thought to prime the surface first. What a great idea!
  • @huskytail
    Who else gets all happy when he sees a video from Lindsay? 😁 I am with my coffee and ready to enjoy
  • @violetflock
    woah, honestly the primer technique and palette blending technique are officially my favorite techniques for blending, thank you so much for this video!
  • @craftergin
    Thank you! I'd love to see a video using water based blender markers too. I have the Tombow and I can't figure out the point of the blender marker!
  • @LakerSlots
    This is a great tutorial. I only knew about 10% of what you demonstrated. I will be saving this to my playlist. Thank you
  • @shadowguard3578
    When I first got into alcohol markers and I bought a three pack of Art n Fly colorless blenders, I tried blending alcohol markers together, and lo and behold, it’s not for blending alcohol markers, haha! They are useful for pushing alcohol ink around the paper, and producing certain effects with the ink. EDIT Lindsay the way you blended the yellow and orange using the colorless blender as a base was genius. I would never have thought to do that!
  • I have been avoiding watching your videos that aren't watercolor. Then I got wc pencil now I want markers. Love you and your family big air hug for Sara. Stay safe 😘
  • Wow Lindsay, I've never seen these tips. Thanks so much for your demo and explanation.
  • @MariaDeesy
    I really needed this! I was gifted a full set of copics and was a bit intimidated. This video has given me new found confidence. That’s what I love about you Lindsay! 🙏🏻❤️
  • @missbeaussie
    That palette blending worked surprisingly well. I'm impressed. The erasing tip!
  • @MelanCholy2001
    7:15 Ohhhhh! I just never used mine. It was covid gift for STILL-furloughed unemployed me. I didn't wanna mess it up! Thank you for this whole video! (I used some of those brush markers for decent-enough calligraphy! But no blending or anything. I don't understand the marker thing. Yet.) ❤️️
  • Thank you for taking the time to show us the right and wrong way to use these blenders. I don't have any of these.
  • @laurenagnes8435
    😃WOW!!!! Now I know what to do with that colorless blender thing that used to take up space!!!!!
  • @MuttonChops24
    Using the palette method and picking up the ink into the blender is freaking GENIUS!! It makes the absolute smoothest gradients
  • @lizziedae91
    Yes would love to see a video on colorless water based marker
  • @dominoot2652
    Before I had any idea what I was doing, I found out that I could make really neat clouds on a dark sky by “erasing” them out with the colorless blender. Looks really cool.
  • @wrenbayley
    THANK YOU so much for this Lindsay! I just tried alcohol markers a few days ago and told my husband it’s the first medium I’ve found that wasn’t for me. I didn’t have fun with it. I was making some of the mistakes you mentioned. Now I’m ready to try again.
