    when using a colorless blender you put the blender down first, then the other colors. It sound backwards, but it works. if you do it the other way it just lifts the color

      I feel so dumb. I just started using alcohol markers and couldn't figure out how to use the blender. I even put some of the ink directly into the blender. Which makes cool effects, but was nearly impossible to clean back off.

    • @PricklyAlpaca
      @PricklyAlpaca  3 года назад +6

      I have a lot of methods actually!
      -Plan a really nice drawing/painting and draw it on the first page
      -OR draw it on a separate piece of paper and tape it in
      -Just mess up the first page and don't worry about it (paint it a solid color, scribble, doodle, just overall make it seem less overwhelming)
      -Tape other doodles you like onto that messed up first page
      -Paint over it later with something nice
      -Put stickers all over it
      -Make a scrapbookish page and tape in pretty things to give it nice pops of color (I literally taped some real flowers onto the first page of my current Sketchbook)
      Basically, if it's bugging you don't worry about it! You can always draw on it/paint over it later. I don't really like the drawing on the first page of my current Sketchbook so I'll probably just paint over it or tape in something else later!
      I hope this was helpful 💕

    I have used alcohol markers once, and the result looked like a 3 year old had been coloring with Crayola Super Tips in a Dollar Tree coloring book (they were Copied and it was marker paper). But I see my friends making beautiful multimedia pieces with alcohol markers as the centerpiece, so I grabbed a set of 100 Belleza Suprema markers and now I'm on RUclips. Yours is the second video I have watched. You're the most adorable human on the planet, I subscribed to your channel. These tips are awesome, thank you for explaining everything I did wrong 5 years ago ❤️

    Hey, love your drawings :)
    Just one question, is it possible for you to add more stickers to your shop? I'm sticker addict XD and so is my 2yr old niece (i showed her to put stickers everywhere). We would love the monarch lady as sticker :)
