Are Ohuhu Alcohol Markers the Best Now? Unboxing, Swatching and Demo Drawing!

Publicado 2023-08-05
Today, I'm super excited to unbox and try Ohuhu's New Honolulu Series 20 count alcohol Marker set! These markers are different than any other alcohol Markers I've tried? Are they special enough to knock my beloved Copic Markers off their pedestal? I'll draw a realistic Baltimore Oriole from start to finish and then we will decide which marker wins! Come on into my Northwoods studio, get something refreshing to drink and let's chat!

Happy creating!

    Glad they finally did this. People have been telling them to do it for years. And if Copic wasn't worried before, they should be now. They've lost their only selling point.
  • @ChantelleArts
    ohuhu have really upped their game, now that they offer refills and provide a similar standard to copics they really are the best ❤❤
  • @eleanortaylor4389
    Very pretty picture! Now that Ohuhu has replacements and refills it has become a major competitor to Copic!
  • @mzebony
    Ohuhu sells individual marker colours and replacement nibs on their website, so you don’t have to buy a whole set. You can replace the chisel end of the Sketch and Ciao with a fine tip on the Copics. Keep creating 💛💜💙
  • Ohuhu is really working to give their customers what they ask for! Bravo Ohuhu!
  • @sandrawoodall6545
    What a wonderful job you made of that bird very realistic. Thanks Amy and I hope your well.
  • Ability to refill is a game changer! I’ve been seeing a lot of people using these that were very pleased with them and I had thought about getting some but was on the fence for the same reasons. They’re now on my wish list. Thank you for letting us know they can now be refilled. The Oriole turned out beautiful!
  • @mjpete27
    Hullo Amy, a wonderful video of the new Ohuhu Markers! I believe that the difference between the Honolulu A & B’s are they both have a brush nib on one end and chisel or fine(bullet) on the other. I was working with a design firm when the owner decided to switch from gouache to alcohol markers for their illustrations. It was NOT an easy switch for most! You made using these markers look easy, well done! If they figure how to re-mark their numbering system without a lawsuit from Copic, I would never buy another Copic! Ohuhu needs a better system. Thank you for sharing these markers with us!
  • @kyleequest
    I’ve changed my mind on ohuhu markers. They are refillable like Copic markers now, so, why spend so much more for Copic? Copic better start bringing down the price of their markers! 😛
  • Your oriole painting is gorgeous! I’m in awe of your talent!💜💜💜
  • @DoogieDoggie
    I had over 300 copic markers but I would say in the last year 1/2 of the new ones I added to my collection were dry when I received them. That’s very frustrating when you consider how much they cost. Therefore, I finally broke down and bought the Ohuhus. I’m glad I did.
  • @mydailybread777
    Great job! I learned alot as I am a beginner artist and this was so helpful. Thank you.
  • @NicoleGDesign91
    I just received a set of 60 in the landscape tones from Ohuhu and at first I was disappointed that they had a chisel/bullet combo for the kaala series. Didn’t notice when I bought them as they were my first set of alcohol markers. I love the colours and after watching your video and how you loved the bullet tip, I tried them again with an open mind and they are pretty good. Now I’m looking at the set of 24 skin tones. I will eventually buy a bigger set with more colours as the value is so good with these. Can’t justify the Copic. Thanks for the review!
  • @pamb2734
    Wow that turned out beautiful!
  • @lindahazel5075
    Your excitement over the bullet tip had me chuckling. It's so good finding little things like that wonderful!
  • @janetbronner6403
    Wow! Great job! I love birds! Maybe you can walk us step by step through how to use markers on a picture. You made it looks so realistic.
  • @JoAnneSmith-di8ok
    I love your birds! I shy away from Alcohol Markers just because of the bleed tgrough. I have tried one. It's great to know that there is a plastic sheet. I needed this tutorial on the markers to see how to blend them.
  • Ohuhus are my favorite marker. Period. I got that giant 356 set a few years ago now and they are still juicy and perfect!
