Fantastic tips with blending the markers! Never thought to use other tools like a waterbrush to blend those streaks which were annoying! No other youtube artist so far has shown this method! thank you :-)
Wow! I was overwhelmed trying to figure out what markers and pens I should buy to use on my coloring books, but you made everything so clear! Thank you ❤
This was a thoroughly enjoyable video and the vignette with acrylic markers turned out absolutely beautiful. You've definitely made me want to give it a try. Thank you for a wonderful video my lovely xxx❤
Kyra! You’ve blown me away again! The first part was soooo informative. But your coloring! OMG! It’s perfect! I love it so much! I would love to see you do the other 3 in the same manner. You’re absolutely fantastic!!! ❤
I really love the look and color range of the arrtx acrylic markers. I have every other medium in my newest obsession (coloring) and art supplies, however I don’t have acrylic markers.
Definitely a success. I like the background colour, I think black would have been too stark. I wish I had your confidence of where to put the shading. Absolutely 💯 %.
Big success! Thank you for sharing your tips. Now I feel like gapping my own Arrtx sets to see what I can achieve! Video suggestion: Show how you use watercolors/watercolor pencils in your books.
I feel the same as you while coloring. As much as I love it, I can't just flow and forget about my surroundings while coloring. The same with reading. Wish I was better at focusing.
You did a great job with those paint pens! You had some good tips as well. One thing to try with removing tape is to use a heat tool as you’re removing it. It tends to help quite a bit.
Hi, that looks really good. I recently painted a flower in paint markers and it looks really dull so I am going to add some more marks to the petals in lighter and white colours like you have done and hopefully like yours it will look nicer. Thanks for your video challenge and tips 👋👍
You did such an amazing job colouring with just paint pens 😍😍 I would love to see you do a monochromatic challenge where you can only use different shades of the same colour - would definitely be a challenge for you considering how much you love colours 😉
I think this was absolutely a successful challenge, that vignette turned out so lovely! Definitely inspired me to want to try that. I recently tried a background with different shades of blue Karin Deconrushes and got virtually no blend & was pretty disappointed. I am going to try going over the transitions with a water brush and see if that helps any! Thanks!
These are excellent tips, but white out the background is my favorite takeaway. And I'll share a tip I learned somewhere: to make the tape less sticky or apt to tear off the paper, run it down your arm first to remove some of the stickiness.
I don't have a set of acrylic markers yet. I have a 0.7 white posca and some paint pens from an old canvas project, which have a gloss finish (not a fan, I like a matte finish). Do the Artex ones have a matte finish? P.S. Here is my current and growing list of challenges for myself in case anything strikes your fancy, which I have assembled from a bunch of online sources plus my own ideas... All suggestions of new things to try gratefully accepted, hoping to get the list to 100. I am a novice colourist but have drawn/painted for years, so I have a reasonable variety of supplies, but no large sets of anything expensive (biggest pencil set is 44) - I grew up just wanting the Crayola pencils my friends had rather than the cheap ones! 1. Complementary colours 2. Analogous colours 3. Split complementary colours 4. Tetradic colour palette 5. Triadic colour palette 6. Same colour family 7. Single pencil 8. Greyscale 9. Sepia 10. 3 colours - key colour, lighter/darker of key, contrast 11. Warm palette 12. Cool palette 13. Limited palette 14. Cloud background 15. Snow 16. Waterfall 17. Ice 18. Water reflection 19. Bubbles 20. Rainbow 21. Sectional colouring 22. Pointillism 23. Blend into white 24. Greyscale in ½ page, other half colour 25. ½ warm, ½ cool page 26. Add a moon 27. Add a sun 28. Galaxy background 29. Unconventional colours 30. Light source 31. Unusual light source 32. Space 33. Night sky 34. Sunset 35. Fire 36. Add patterns 37. Bokeh background 38. Use a stencil 39. Gilding 40. Buddy colour 41. Use only pencils 42. Use only Derwent Drawing Pencils (insert particular set you have, this is my best set) 43. Use all of my 72 Faber Castell connector pens (biggest marker set I have) in a page/set of small images 44. Watercolour background 45. Acrylic background 46. Soft pastel background (just got myself a set of 24 having tried a couple of open stock ones) 47. Use only watercolours 48. Use only inks (I have many colours in calligraphy ink) 49. Use only acrylic paint 50. Use only dry media 51. Add embellishments (stickers, washi tape, gems) 52. Colour some gems 53. Colour crystals 54. Pastel colours 55. Fluoro/neon colours 56. Glass 57. Metals 58. Use a new to me palette found online 59. Add a frame 60. Light beams through canopy/water 61. Steampunk 62. Ocean 63. Gel pens 64. Unusual hair colour 65. Page that intimidates you 66. Mythical creature 67. Winter 68. Spring 69. Summer 70. Autumn 71. Easter 72. Christmas 73. Halloween 74. Nina Stajner page (original prompts had different illustrators, this is my untouched book) 75. Etsy purchased page 76. Colouring competition 77. Acrylic marker (which I don’t own yet, but added anyway) 78. Inktense only 79. Base with alcohol markers 80. Neocolour II background
I would say the Arrtx acrylic markers have a very slight sheen but are predominantly matte 🥰 And oh my goodness thank you so much for sharing such an extensive list! That is definitely helpful ✨🌈
Lovely video. I've been umming and erring about the arttx markers for a while because i quite like my tooli-art paint pens, but they are better for outlines whereas the markers look like they'd be good for larger areas and basing. Hadn't even considered using /just/ acrylics, but it was a surprisingly good result. C:
thank you!!! I just got a small set of acrylic markers (just 12 idk how to use them, and they are a cheap brand) and I was a little lost with this medium. Your video was a huge help! n.n
Thank you for your tips! Se I knew, some I never thought of and haven't heard ny of the otheer art channels I watch mentioned. Draw and paint my own art but much of my life I worked graphite. I wanted to the hng of seeing what was needed to create the 3D appearance. The problem is then you are not accustomed to seeing the variation of hue to create objects and blendung them. So my speculation from watching others color and paint have pretty much been confirmed in your video. Thanks for your hard work. 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
I loved this video! Thank you! I ended up purchasing set B as I have a lot of posca pens but I was intrigued by the brush tip! Also I recommend checking out this book: The Neuroscience Of Mindfulness - By Stan Rodski I have anxiety and colouring in helps especially when I get in the zone and stop worrying about details or it being perfect. The book I mentioned explains the science behind it
It turned out so pretty! 😊 I’m waiting on a set of Arrtx’s new simptap acrylics for a collab (ironically I’ve never used acrylic markers 😅) but you convinced me to get the 60B set too because I’m such a pastel girlie (and it’s been in my cart forever and Black Friday deals, am I right? 😂) I was wondering, did you address how to get dried acrylic markers working again in this video? Or did I miss it OR hear it in another video? 🙈 I’ve watched quite a few of your videos today and can’t remember! Lol ❤
Gotta love Black Friday deals haha! I also haven’t addressed dried markers before but I believe there is a trick out there somewhere! Sorry I couldn’t help 🥲💖
Of course! In the simplest terms possible, acrylic markers are basically paint in a pen and alcohol markers are more like an ink which is why they bleed through paper but also blend together really well ☺️
Your top tips have been invaluable to me. I feel terrified of my paint markers. They are bright and bold, I love that but they cover everything and seem so blocky (is that a word 🤔) and I am not very good with alcohol markers, never mind acrylic haha
I’m so glad that my tips were helpful for you!! Hopefully you feel more confident now to have another go with your acrylic markers. Just keep practicing and I promise it gets less intimidating 🥰🌈💕
I'd love to see a video of your blending techniques, specifically just that. If that's okay??!
That would be a great video! ❤
For sure! Did you want blending techniques for pencils or acrylic markers?
@@apicturedpurpose i would like one with markers, thanks!
@@apicturedpurpose i would love one with pencils!!
Another vote for blending / gradient techniques for your Prismacolors please.❤
Fantastic tips with blending the markers! Never thought to use other tools like a waterbrush to blend those streaks which were annoying! No other youtube artist so far has shown this method! thank you :-)
You are so welcome! I’m glad the video was helpful for you! 🤩❤️🌈

Awww thank you so much 💕✨
Thank you for these tips... Loved the end result of the acrylic marker challenge the colours worked beautifully together...
Thank you so much! 🥰
Appreciate these tips! I have never used acrylic markers before, but I want to get into it 💕
I highly recommend! They’re a lot of fun to color with 🥰🌈
I like the white dots on the background too! Appreciate the acrylic marker tips presentation ❣💯
I’m so glad I’m not the only one 😅💖
Kyra! You’ve blown me away again! The first part was soooo informative. But your coloring! OMG! It’s perfect! I love it so much! I would love to see you do the other 3 in the same manner. You’re absolutely fantastic!!! ❤
Keep an eye on my Instagram! I’ll be sharing the other 3 vignettes over there 🤗💖
Great job Kyra 🎉 thank you for all the tips 🫶
Thank you so much for watching! 🤩💖
These are really helpful tips! Thanks! Your colouring looks gorgeous! Well done! 🩷💜
Thank you so much Amanda! 💕🌈

You excelled at that challenge. That turned out so incredibly beautiful. I love it!!!
Aww thank you Jennifer 🥰🌈
Great tips!! 👏👏 Your painting turned out beautifully!! 😍 I like the more green background!! 👍 It is more like a grass like look! 🌱
You’re too kind 😍💕✨
@apicturedpurpose You're quite welcome! 🤗😍
I feel the same as you while coloring. As much as I love it, I can't just flow and forget about my surroundings while coloring. The same with reading. Wish I was better at focusing.
I totally understand! My brain is constantly going a million miles an hour 😂💕
Same here!
Loved the tutorial. Have to order me some acrylic markers. Thank you.
I highly recommend! ☺️💕
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching! 😍💕
NICE! 😉Just lovely. 👏
Thank you so much! 💖✨💖✨
Fabulous and enjoyable video, I loved the flower colouring 🥰
Thanks Jenny!! 💖✨
Waouhhh !!!!! the result is amazing!!! Thant you so much for your tips and sharing!!!!❤
You are so welcome! 🤗💕
You did a great job with those paint pens! You had some good tips as well. One thing to try with removing tape is to use a heat tool as you’re removing it. It tends to help quite a bit.
Yes I’ve heard that one too! Unfortunately I own no heat tools haha 😅
Hair dryer? 😅 I don’t actually know if that would work, but heat guns are relatively inexpensive if nothing else works.
I don’t own a hair dryer either haha 😅 But maybe I should look into a heat gun!
Ohhhh love this❤❤❤❤ thank you!!!
💖💖💖
Yes success! Your channel is such an inspiration to me!
Aww that’s so sweet of you to say! Thank you so much for watching 🤗❤️
This was an extremely useful video! I just got a bunch of acrylic makers and have been a bit intimidated. Thanks for the help!
You are so welcome! 💖🌈
Oh! I look forward to watching this 😀
Enjoy!! 🥰💖🌈
A total success 😍thanks for sharing your tips !
Thank you so much for watching 🤗💖
Hi, that looks really good. I recently painted a flower in paint markers and it looks really dull so I am going to add some more marks to the petals in lighter and white colours like you have done and hopefully like yours it will look nicer. Thanks for your video challenge and tips 👋👍
The different shades will definitely help with creating a bit more visual interest and dimension to your acrylic painting! 😍✨
You did such an amazing job colouring with just paint pens 😍😍 I would love to see you do a monochromatic challenge where you can only use different shades of the same colour - would definitely be a challenge for you considering how much you love colours 😉
Thank you so much Jess!! Yes! I have thought about taking on that challenge but it’s definitely intimidating for me FOR SURE 😂❤️
It turned out beautiful 🎉🎉
🤗❤️
Gorgeous! You’re magical! 🪄

Aww thank you so much! And yes, definitely try out the water brush, hopefully it helps! 🫶🏻💕
lol! My partner has to remind me to breathe 😂 guilty of being a dot lover❤ I love how it came out
Haha yes fellow dot lovers unite! 😅💖
omg these are beautiful 😍 ❤
Thank you so much 🥰✨

Could you please explain the difference between acrylic markers and alcohol ink markers thank you. By the way thanks for your presentation and tips.
Of course! In the simplest terms possible, acrylic markers are basically paint in a pen and alcohol markers are more like an ink which is why they bleed through paper but also blend together really well ☺️
@ thank you for replying and so quickly. Do both markers give a surface that is not streaky or leaves marks?
Your top tips have been invaluable to me. I feel terrified of my paint markers. They are bright and bold, I love that but they cover everything and seem so blocky (is that a word 🤔) and I am not very good with alcohol markers, never mind acrylic haha

@@apicturedpurpose thank you. I am actually excited to just see what happens. My very own creation that I own haha
Success

Could you please tell me the name of the first markers? Primary, pastel,ect.
