Hi all! I know a LOT of you are looking for AFFORDABLE markers so here's a link for really good and cheap set of markers... these are the best I've tried. amzn.to/3UcrGnD I hope that helps. Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥ Scott
You are the best👑
This video was reMARKERble as always! How much of an impact does the base colour have on the piece overall? Like how different would Mr T be if you had started with a yellow base or something? Finding the right colours is probably a skill that will develop with practice. Still, watching how you layer everything and seeing it come together feels so magical! Ohu-who knew markers could be so amazing?!
dude tried out-dad-joking a dad 💀
I feel like I should take notes on this conversation structure…Hit ‘em with a dad joke, a question, a compliment, and another dad joke. Lol, I loved everything about this comment😂
Wow! This video shows just how much to trust the process. The deep pinks and lavender seem so out there, but once you get layering and really start mixing all the different colors you use, it comes together to make a beautiful, rich piece. I also never thought about how versatile markers being transparent is. Its just something I never thought of, and it's a really helpful way to look at it. Since it is transparent, i could possibly change things up or fix mistakes since the color isnt that deep yet. Thanks for the helpful advice!
Thats what I’m thinking
As someone who uses markers A LOT, I have been able to make personal innovations and compile a decent amount of info, but never did I think to layer them like that
I am 13 Years old and knew who you were drawing right away. Thank you dad 😂
Why are you calling him dad? 🌈💐

Watching your videos really makes my anxiety go away. Thanks alot. Your channel is a safe space.❤❤
Absolutely My Pleasure ♥
Pigment-based markers from companies such as Staedtler and Faber-Castell don’t actually bleed through the page. They are also more lightfast and archival than alcohol dye-based markers, which fade over time.
Thank you for staying that the quality of materials isn’t important. A lot of youtube artists use custom brushes and full sets of copic markers and it makes young artists think thats the only way to draw
I recognised Mr T straight away 😃 He came to my work 15 years ago (big corporate company and he was there for Snickers). I asked him a question and his answer was super weird 😂 I asked as a joke if he has trouble going through airport security with all his chains and he said since hurricane Katrina he doesn't feel comfortable wearing real stuff, so this all fake. I still don't know what HK has to do with it all 😂 I love alcohol markers although I need to learn more about them. I've only used them on line work like colouring page. I want to learn how to use them to their full potential, since they are beautiful and can create amazing art. And thank you for saying there is no right or wrong way to use tools. I hate people that tell others they are using something wrong.
How cool!
I know why he mentioned HK! He was involved in the cleanup, afterwards he felt it wasnt right to wear all that gold when so many people lost everything.
Here before the title change

I accidentally had it as colored pencils
Oh. Well everyone makes miscakes. Sorry mistakes 👍
@@ssavaart oh ok

Markers are my personal medium of choice, so you posted this at the perfect time! I think I’ve gotten stuck in the ways I use them, and this gave me a lot of ideas! Also- during the entire layering process I kept thinking “that looks way too red” but then I compared the end product to the reference photo and saw it was a near-perfect match! You inspire me so much to continue as an artist, thank you!
Totally needed this, Thanks Scott!
i absolutely love your educational videos a lot of the times people just talk and you see no work and sometimes people just show their work and skip to the end result in the middle.
This changed my mind about Markers completely.
Ah finally this is the first long form video that has appeared in my feed instead of me going to look for it! It is so cool to see the lavender-pink-red-etc slowly transform into a rich chocolate!
what the hell, you're like a magician! for the first half or so of the video i thought there was no way those colours would end up giving the right skintone, but i was so wrong!
Loving these long form videos!! ❤️
As a beginner artist i am so amazed about how you bring life to a colorless page I am so inspired by your art ❤
This was really helpful! I’ve been mainly winging it with my markers, and I’m used to separating my art medians when I’m working on a piece. Seeing how blending different medians can work out gives me some ideas for my next pieces. Thanks, Scott!
I was feeling sad and anxious today, like on the verge on tears but I really could't cry, neither I knew exactly why I was feeling that way. But this video really calmed me, and inspired me to create. Watching your art is always amazing. Thank you so much!!!
Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥
Thank you for your initial marker series of shorts! Listening to your advice with layering and how markers work, not to mention your watercolor advice as well, all helped me significantly improve from my first ever attempt (before studying how you work with alcohol markers) to my second ever attempt!! I appreciate all the videos you make on art!!! (ps, I got the artbeek markers and ohuhu marker sketchbook because of your little reviews! Thanks for those too!!!)
Thanks Scott! I have alcohol markers and this was really useful! Loving the long form videos :)
Fabulous! I saw an ad with Mr T in it yesterday and he is looking good!
Love your videos Scott!!❤
Thank You so much Scott, I might follow all of these despite being new to alcohol markers and improve.
As soon as i saw you layering the colors and using the BASE COLOR as LAVENDER made my jaw dropped to the floor !! I didnt even imagine or think abt that! Ive used coloring markers for 1-2 years and i had a hard time figuring how to make it look like the correct shade of color or like make it blend smooth, this helped me so so *so* so much! ❤❤
Dude this is amazing. The way the colors changed from all these bright saturated colors in the beginning to skin color is magic. And the way the pencils interacted with the markers was so cool. I don't really like drawing with markers, but I have some old (really cheap) ones laying around and I might give it a try again. Thank you so much!
you're amazing at this, makes me happy you found your groove and style
your blending always seems like magic (honestly still does 😂) I appreciate you taking the time to explain this process!! Hoping to add a bit or so of these techniques and keep growing!!!
Thank you for this video! I got some ohuhu markers last christmas and it’s been really a challenging yet fun experience trying to work with the medium. To see your process is really cool, from the first layer of lavender building up to all those different shades of colors! It’s really inspiring to see how it all comes together :D
i like how the colors were layered, I've never really done that before!
Its currently 4 in the night where I am rn, but Im still super hyped out waiting for this amazing videopeoeoe! Im extremely sleepy byt very glad tpo 🎉🎉🎉😅
Goodnight 😴😴😴
Thanks, this is the next day well night its 2 rn
Thank you for your marker recommendation(during the live) :>
The live was great this morning!
Hey Scott, I just want to say that you are a huge inspiration to me! Watching you draw has inspired me to draw in different ways and use different colour combinations I wouldn’t have thought of. I love the posters you make and today on my birthday I got the centaur and dragon alliance one :) Keep up the great work!
Wow. Happy Birthday! I'm so happy you like the poster.
@@ssavaart thank you so much! :)
I LOVE your vids you inspired my main art style somewhat, you and jazza and I am so happy with it! ❤❤❤
Your approach to coloring skin is sooo fascinating and helpful. I didn’t even know you could use those colors to make skin tones that vibrant!
Needed this video man
Amazing ❤ I love how u r open, respectful, and encouraging to ppl's own artstyle and way of using art mediums. Everyone have their own style and comfort in art that makes them happy. It's been so long since I used alcohol markers so it's very satisfying to see ppl using them in different ways. Amazed that u can layer so many colors with markers. It makes me want to go back to markers and use more colors for layering ❤
A very most excellent video!! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful🤩
Watching you make art and have fun with the process, experimenting with colors and making something beautiful along the way is so inspiring to me. I've been trying to let go of my perfectionism and be more spontaneous. I love your channel very much.
Thank you for this video informing everyone . The medium I mainly work his alcohol markers, and I learned a lot of advice from this that I will be sure to use some of my own art!
Wow! I was skeptical at the beginning but wow did it turn out great!! ❤
You are like a magician with this! It's amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing!!! 💜💜💜
Cool! I got some last christmas and i love it! Im practicing foreshortening. Its kind of confusing 😅 but ill keep practicing!
Do a photo or scan of Art. If art fades, you'll have something of the original, even if not on calibrated devices.
Scott your videos are amazing and I love your art and you have helped me so much with my art and I just wanted to say thank you so so much ❤
You are so welcome!
What a brilliant picture of Mr T. ❤ that was amazing to watch. You are talented. 😊
Your my favourite artist you encouraged me to draw and I really want to be like you .
this was such an interesting video!! it was really interesing seeing this way of coloring with markers, especially since i didnt know that you could do this with them
It's like magic! Just amazing! 😍
this turned out awesome, great work scott. Nice to see long form videos too in my opinion! I had a question, when layering markers over the initial graphite ( and maybe over the coloured pencils later on) do you find it can damage and discolor your marker tips? Also does it make a difference whether you use wax based or oil based pencil colours for this method? thanks
I'm getting alcohol markers soon, this really helped me! Thanks art dad ❤❤
would it be possible to preserve the art piece made by markers with any type of vanish so it doesn't fade or to be able to give it a longer lifespan? also, I absolutely love your videos! I love that you share the good and the bad, the frustration and happiness, I love that you keep it real! You are motivating me to start my own art youtube channel where I keep it real just like you! because we need a lot more like that in the community 💖 Lots of love from Norway!
Oh! I knew i recognized Mister T! This video really made me happy :] It amazed me the way the markers layered on top of each other!! It looked so cool!! I really want to draw now hahajs, :] Great video! I love to see the process of art and people explaining their own process, it makes me happy happy happy :] thank you 🌠🌟💪
Weirdly Right on time!!! I started using markers a few days ago and I honestly had little to no idea how to use them, this video helped A LOT, thanks Scott!
For anyone interested in the Mr. T illustration, it is available here! I pity the fool who misses out! 😉 www.ssavaart.com/product-page/mr-t-marker-and-colored-pencil-illustration
The way you build up so many layers of colors that all blend together so well and give so much depth is amazing. I hope I can gain your level of confidence with color with more practice. Because of my budget I’ve only been able to afford regular Crayola Supertips, and I kind of sucked at using them at first. Then I played around with a Pentel Aquabrush one of my professors gave me and tried using it as a blending tool. After some more practice I’ve gotten really solid results. The shape of the tips lets me get the control and precision of colored pencils with the smoothness and wide strokes of markers, and the inks can work a lot like watercolor if you add lots of water to spread it out
Hey, I was wondering if you could also make a video on the difference between alcohol and water based markers. Love your art !
I want some makers so bad! I am going to try to get some soon so this vid will really help thanks!
amazing video! it took me a lot of effort to get a set of markers (since they don't ship to my country) and now they just sit useless on my shelf bc i lost motivation to use them. i'm scared that whatever i make with them will be bad bc i'm a beginner, i'm still learning. but after watching your video it made me feel a little bit better bc i can mess around and find out the right way for me to use them (your tips are a good starting point for that). and even if it'll be bad - it's temporary & will fade rather quickly. so, yea. thank you.
I tried markers for Inktober and did not like them. I later made a swatch chart and found out there really weren't any midtones in the set of 72 markers that I had. Just very strong contrasts of light and heavily saturated colors. I think your technique of multilayering markers and pencils confirms for me the fact that building midtones in markers might be a ton of effort. I think the medium looks amazing though in comics.
This is an amazing art piece it looks like it should be in a museum
what an amazing picture you made in the end. another thing to keep in mind is that layering is only possible on really good paper made for things like watercolour and markers, or else it can start to pill and break down. this doesn’t always happen, and there are things you can do to avoid it, but it’s something to keep in mind.
i started drawing with markers in 2021 maybe, but this video helped a lot actually. thanks scott!
The skin tone is amazing and fascinating to see the process
That was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
Blending is awesome 😎
Thank you so much❤
I don't own or plan to use markers, but it's so interesting hearing you talk about art tips, in any sense!
Scott never skips a beat good job Scott I've both lost count of how many times you've made a beautiful piece and I've learned something while you did it ❤❤
Hey Scott! Love your shorts and recently started watching your videos. I feel like what I love about videos is that occasionally I see the artists face and them talking to me. I feel like there is a bit of connection I'm missing. I want to see you explain your steps and then see your process. Take your time, use music and cuts to add progress. Art youtubers 10Hundered and Nerdforge kill it with long-form 10/10 would recommend them as reference points. Also talk slower in long videos! I like your art because the pieces feel so calm but your longform videos feel so loud. Totally get it if that's not your vibe but I figured I'd recommend it. Anyways I'm an avid long form watcher now regardless of all that. Please take it as constructive. Your videos are great and I just figured some feedback might be useful to grow your long-form audience. Love this piece
Thanks. I'll look them up.
I love how u use all colors
Hmmmm so much new info! I love how you layer marker with pencil then back to marker! Not gonna lie, i am most impressed by how versatile the colored pencils are 😂
I normally work with digital art programs, but I have been trying to get out of the digital mindset and back into traditional mindset. And hearing you say "there's no rules" in regards to mixing mediums together, kinda helps ALOT in pushing past what is often taught in Art classes. Nowadays, art teachers force the "Your art needs to tell a story" and "You can only use one medium during one artwork" things and deduct points/marks if you go against such teachings. Which often causes burnout and decreases creativity by a long shot... It's sad. Which is why I chose to work digitally instead... It's hard to unlearn. So thanks for uploading and saying the things you've said. It means alot!
Hi thank you for the awesome advice I was wondering if you could do a full video on how you use gouache jelly paint/ gouache paint.
I'm so used to all the memes with Barret being Mr. T. (I love FF7)
Nice, as a digital artist. This is useful
I’m in awe!! I recently decided to learn how to use alcohol markers to fit my style. I have a substantial collection collection dust because I was never happy with what I made.I’m definitely inspired.
I use markers occasionally, I would advise to scan or photograph each artwork when it's finished. So even when it fades you can still see your progress and previous pieces!
Ah! Thank you for this vid! I’ve started using markers as a new medium but I kinda went in blind. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for this breakdown Scott!! I do have a question about lightfastness, have you tried using any kind of varnish to see the results on markers?
I haven't. But I've seen nothing saying that varnish protects from UV light
@@ssavaart fair, I just always assumed it might help 🤔 I just remember hearing something about a glass that might do that
@@barbararibeiro6426 Yes. Museum glass has UV protection
Thank you for the video! Your art advice always helps so much. I just got alcohol markers so this was perfect! I also had a question, does it matter wether the markers are brush tip or fine/chisel tip for getting a good result? Anyways, thank you so much again for making such awesome videos ❤️
Do you think you could do a tutorial on how you sketch the faces? I would love to start drawing people but I never am able to draw the face properly and I would love to see your process.
I have this kzhead.info/sun/d5Ssl6ZraoKNqIk/bejne.html
Thanks!
Dope. I started drawing again😊
This is *SOOOOOOO GOOD* ☺☺
pencil colours and markers both makes a sketch look artistic .
Seeing the transition from those kind of jarring bright colors to the final layered product was really cool! Do you know if framing a marker piece with UV protective glass would prolong its life?
Absolutely that would do it
5:23 that's why is called "mixed media"! I use markers with a shade of watercolors or gouache if needed.
This was rlly helpful, but I just wanted to ask , would using sketch pens also be similar to this?
Hello Scott, what did you use for the white outline at the end? It really tied the whole thing together.
I received a lot of markers from my sister a few days ago because she doesn't use them anymore and I had absolutely no idea where to start or how they "worked". I really want to try them no that I saw this, and I kind of forgot why it stressed me in the first place to try a new medium so thanks a lot !
Hi !! 😀 Regarding the resistance to light with the ohuhus, would you know if when you keep the drawings in a closed sketchbook, is there always the risk that the ink will fade 😓🤔 ? I'm interested 😅
Thanks for your water color videos and because of that now I know how to Actually use water color
I like doing pointillism with markers. I have a collection of different brands and sizes and such. It is so fun. Also, when doing colored pencils, I tend to do the squiggles too.
I am mostly digital artists but I impulsively bought cheap alcohol markers recently and I had a lot of fun drawing with them, I mixed them with color pencils and watercolors to get better results
I love that markers don’t last forever I keep mine in a sunny space all the time because then I watch them fade over time and eventually I get to reuse the paper (not for a while but yk what I mean)
This isn’t the way I do markers but honestly it’s really cool way to use them :)
The SHOCK that coursed through my body when you said it was Mr. T. First things first, no I don’t know who he is or what he looks like, so I didn’t recognize him. However, I am a young person who works at a zoo, and on Wednesday it was announced that our guinea turaco’s official name is now “Mr. T, and if you don’t know who that is … none of you know who that is. We’re old.” I jokingly thought Mr. T when you said “you may or may not know who I’m sketching.” AND IT ACTUALLY IS HIM. What a fun coincidence.
