    WARNING ABOUT ARTIST’S LOFT MARKERS!
    I purchased the pack of Artist’s Loft markers displayed in this video. It was really good quality, and I used them a lot. Blue colors were a common appearance in my art, so the pack was useful. But soon enough, the brush nibs on each marker frayed completely, two markers somehow exploded in my bag of markers, and one was even thrown away. The only useful thing about them was the chisel nib, unless you need a frayed brush tip for something. And if you’re wondering about the marker explosion, Lagoon Blue and Sapphire Blue were the ones which exploded. I threw Lagoon Blue away because the nib was too feathered and frayed to use, and I had recently gotten a Copic in a similar color. I should probably clear up what I mean by ‘exploded’: The whole marker DID NOT explode, just the color somehow exploded. Sapphire Blue’s color is all over itself and many of my Copic Markers, and the same with Lagoon Blue. I tried to wipe the color off to make my markers look a little nicer, but there was barely an effect. If you buy Artist’s Loft™️ Dual Top Sketch Markers, be careful with them. If I had been more careful, maybe that would not have happened.
    Also another thing I should clear up, I’m just trying to tell you guys about my experience with these markers. I’m not attempting to frame Haley for selling you something that isn’t good quality. I just want you all to know a possible outcome with the markers. Hopefully, I just had bad luck with them. If you have had a better Artist’s Loft experience, I would like to hear it. I would hate to miss out on another good Copic alternative.
    Edit: Not trying to paint the markers to be completely useless either, I was a bit overdramatic in my review. You can still get good use out of the marker, just (sadly) not so much with the brush nib.

    • @stalehip
      @stalehip 5 лет назад +69

      Yes, I agree with you but, I do use them but very carefully. I know most of the art community HATES Artist Loft, but i like it. But I do not like that they get all puffy and yucky when it's in over use. (Basically pushing hard or forcing ink)

    • @wacko2766
      @wacko2766 5 лет назад +32

      I was going to say the same thing about the frayed tips, and they aren't the best for blending. But yeah, the brush tips kinda suck on those markers

    • @scruumblewuumble6901
      @scruumblewuumble6901 5 лет назад +15

      tøp fan I agree, I bought one black one, used it three times, and it became so frayed that I couldn’t use it anymore. The chisel tip was useless to me because even when I wanted to fill in a black space in my inking, it was too thick.

    • @abbweh
      @abbweh 5 лет назад +11

      XxYellowRoses xX I agree. I tried out their watercolors, and they are pretty good (it’s coming from a person with no experience in watercolors, but still). Artist’s Loft, from my experience, is not too bad.

    • @zaidahaagenbusch1197
      @zaidahaagenbusch1197 5 лет назад +7

      Lmao with some of my artists loft markers the tips crystallized so I had to throw out 3 or 4 but the rest of them all work fine. Still very good markers imo because I expected issues for how cheap they were but on paper it looks perfectly fine.

    I’ve actually had the opposite experience with copics and prismacolor markers. Copics barely even last me a year, and spill out soooo badly. And after about a year, the color begins to fade on your picture which really sucks. Prismas have lasted me over 7 years, never fade, and never spill. However, the only bone I have to pick with prismacolor, is that they don’t blend as well as copics.

    The Artist's Loft markers ARE NOT GOOD! They start out ok, *BUT* they start to frey so fast! An then you have this almost fuzzy tip, and it won't get into any lines, and it doesn't cover evenly. They seem good at first, but after about ten uses (not even that much!) They just start freying and getting damaged. I have Chartpak Spectra AD's and Copics too, and trust me, Artist's loft markers are NOT anywhere near comparable.
    On top of this, when you put down a lot of colour to dry, it dried down sticky! I don't know why it does that, but it's the only one I've found that does!

    Hi! for if you somehow see this: i recommend (generally) the brand "Carand'ache" because it's generally really high quality. it's made in Switzerland, which is right in the middle of Europe (i live there actually haha) and their colored pencils can generally be found anywhere (i think). They're pretty expensive, but a good brand in the long run since they have high quality art supplies like Gouaches and aquarelle pencils that i personally find easy to use. its just a recommendation but i think they're really cool :D

    I got a Pentel correction pen earlier in the year and it saved my life when I was making a 16-page comic for class earlier this year. I messed up a character's face after drawing a very, very detailed scene and I didn't want to redo the page, but using the pen I could undo the face and try again. Also, the uniball sigma broad white pen has been great for adding details against black, it adds so much to a drawing! Finally, my knead eraser, I love it.

    The Artist Loft markers are a cheap alternative to Copics and Prismacolors, but the nibs on them are felt and will fall apart.
    I got an Artist Loft marker(I'll call 'em *AL's after this bc less typing) last month and the brush nib fell apart and dried out way too quickly. The inks in the markers are amazing though! I didn't expect it from *AL.
    The Prismacolors have the spike on the caps to stop them from rolling away, as they are circle markers. (Just wanted to say that about the Prismacolors bc they were my first alcohol markers(they used to be cheap) and I wanted to defend my bbys)

      But yeah, there are some quality control problems. The quality in some markers is better than the quality in the others.
      Kattvalk did a review and she said that it seemed like the darker the ink, the more easily they fell apart.

So there's some strange things going on with quality control. I'm not saying AL markers are bad at all though!! I have a similar set and they performed wonderfully for me. I'm more or less arguing (?) that these markers are worth giving a try, though it's definitely better to get a smaller set first to test before taking a purge. Just know your risks.

    Idk where you've been buying prismacolor markers, but I found a set of 48 on Amazon for $80 (it's legit, it's sold by the Prismacolor account), which is less than $2 a marker...
    I do agree with you on the AL markers though, I like them a lot. The brush nib can be a little squishy at times, but they're good for beginners or broke people like me.

      The artists loft markers on the brush nib side tend to split after using them like once. I have a black and white set and they're absolutely awful.

    I absolutely love the prisma colour markers. In my opinion they are way better than copics. I mainly use prisma markers and spectrum noir. Spectrum noir markers are at the same level of prisma and copics. However, they ate much cheaper. They have their faults though. They are pretty bulky and they are a hexagonal shape. The hexagonal shape makes it hard to hold. But besides that they are alright.

    My favorite art supply was definitely the clear paintbrush!! I actually got one as a gift from my aunt when she came for thanksgiving! I would suggest it to anyone who likes watercolor without having to carry around a cup of water and a brush! my other art suppplies I would suggest are: A wacom Graphire! It's a digital tablet, an older model without a viewing screen. But it's so smooth, and I haven't had any issues with it in the past 7 years! My last art supply I would suggest is definitely the Micron fine liners! The brush pens from Micron are not that well made in my opinion, but the fine liners are pretty great! I can lay them over top of graphite and erase without damaging the ink! Thank you LavenderTowne for your suggestions! Have a happy Holiday!!

      I can’t say if this is the same for comics since I use a cheaper brand (one touch I think they’re called) but when “outlining” a shape don’t go straight to the edge because the ink spread out and makes shapes slightly larger :P oh and when putting down a base colour, go for the lightest shade of the base colour you have, darken it later but that way you can build shading until it looks how you want :) good luck!!!
