You are a genius with the sharpie highlighter. I will be using it from now on. I'm new to art and I need all the I help I can get.Thanks from the newbie.
I like your program very much as I am new to pencil colouring and your organization of materials and especially your lesson plan ( main points) set out so your audience can see them, is very, very helpful. I should say I am a retired teacher so I felt you deserved to hear that your classes are excellent! And, you do not say "you guys" every two minutes! So many demonstrators on RUclips do! Kudos to you from Toronto, Canada!
Jennifer, I discovered coloring as the perfect secret tool for me to help me sit with both my mom and dad over the last 1 1/2 years during chemo treatment. My daddy always LOVED my crafting antics. His season here on earth ended on Valentines Day this year. As I continue to care for my mama and chemo treatment - I continue to color...off and on. Yesterday our chemo nurse had her coloring out. We enjoyed sharing how much fun it is to color and that we are glad that we finally have an "excuse" as adults to do so! If she is my mom's chemo nurse today, I can't wait to tell her about the Sharpie Highlighters secret trick!!! I will also tell her all about your channel that I just found today! Thanks for all you share - and your beautiful work. I can't wait to watch ALL your videos!! :)
Sharpie Highlighters will be my base layer of choice from this day forward thanks to your secret weapon video. It is an eye opener for colorists of all ages. It is so generous of you to offer a "give-a-way to your viewers. This video was a true learning experience. Thank you.
Wow! Using Sharpie Highlighters for a coloring base is the coolest coloring tip I have seen in a while. A great addition to my coloring tool box. Thanks Jennifer.
I absolutely love how the Sharpie Highlighters change up the colors of any other medium you are using. Amazing video. I will certainly start rounding up the highlighter laying around my house.
Sharpie highlighter. I loved the presentation. You have saved me so much pain and work. Thank you so much.. I actually feel like I'm making such progress with my shading. You are the best. Thank you again...
I see the benefit of the undercoat with the highlighter , however, sometimes having the white show is exactly what you want. It is great to have another option. Thanks.
Yeah, it completely changes the tone. The highlighters don't match the pencil colors she's using. If I want to retain the original color, this trick doesn't help. It's better to lay a foundation of watercolor pencil & blend it out with a damp nib or just use alcohol.
Jennifer, I am new at coloring . I am a quilter and have some great ideas for using your wonderful tips in a project for my granddaughters. I have some very fond childhood memories of coloring with my sister and cousin on Sunday's at our Grandma's home. So knowing that it's okay to color as an adult has been a great way to relief stress and just calm myself before heading to bed.
really cool. Dede willingham uses acrylic wash for an underlay like this. I have been doing this and I have enjoyed coloring more as it takes away the white page and gives you a color to begin with.
If you want to get the white parts out when you are using colored pencils you can use hand sanitizer or baby oil with a qtip or sometimes I dip the tip of my pencil in before I start coloring, but you want to use the qtip method if you have want to blend and contrast your colors.
+TheCajunBeauty, yes! There are so many amazing blending methods. I demonstrate a lot of them in my Color Like a Pro series. This video demonstrates using a base layer to eliminate the white. A lot of artists use markers...like comics or other alcohol markers. Some use watercolor paints too! The options are endless...I LOVE ART!!! Thanks for watching my video.
I thought I would mention it here for those who may not want to use the highlighter method. I really like the hand sanitizer the best so far, because the colors are also more vibrant as well as smooth. I think it becomes almost as smooth as markers.
+TheCajunBeauty, I'm not sure if I've every tried hand sanitizer specifically. Is there a brand or type you use? I know hand sanatizer is basically rubbing alcohol...how does it compare to using just rubbing alcohol? So many fun possibilities!
I think mine is an off brand one, but any of them should work the same. I find it to be a little better, because the sanitizer is a little thicker so I find that it is easier to control the amount I use and it is less likely to drip off. I also like that it comes in smaller bottles as well so it is also easier to carry with you if you want to color on the go.
This is from 8 years ago, and you have only gotten better and better 💕 Now I believe we use alcohol markers as a base layer, which I prefer because I get much better color control.
Sharpie highlighters a hood secret weapon. It's wonderful so you don't have to use so much of your pencil and worry as quickly about burnishing your paper. Good show! Jane
Being a long-time Sharpie Highlighter hoarder, this is excellent news for me. Now I actually have something to use them for. Yea!!! More pages please. :)
At first, I was pretty skeptical when I heard highlighters, but I became convinced of your genius after seeing you lay down that prismacolor yellow over the highlighter!
Cool idea! I have used gel pens and highlighters by themselves in my coloring pages, but hadn't thought to layer them. I will definitely be giving this a try.
I'm new to coloring, so far my medium is colored pencils but looking to branch out into gel pens and markers , and now highlighters. that is a great tip, thank you!
Even though this tutorial is a year old and your giveaway is over, I learned so much, and will start using the sharpie highlighters as you did... thanks for the work you put into all the charts and comparisons....well done
what an interesting technique! I am definitely going to give this a try and posting the picture on my Facebook, and group coloring pages. I will most definitely tell others where I learned this technique!!! SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTERS ROCK!
Bliss you showed me how to blissfully create my own Sharpie Highlighter creations. I am new to adult coloring and found that by using sharpie highlighters I can improve my own blissful pages. I would love to watch more of your videos and intend to do so. Thanks for the instructions. Betty Ellis
+Elizabeth Ellis, the winner of the sharpie highlighters was announced in a video here on my channel on August 23, 2016. I have giveaways going on all the time, so keep trying!
I just passed all the Sharpie Highlighters at the store, not even realizing how much they could add to my coloring. It means all my colors will go farther and I can get the look I am working for without so much work! Great idea and thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much for sharing your secret weapon with everyone because it really is amazing. The sharpie highlighters truly make the whole coloring experience much more satisfying. Thanks again!!!!!
Wow!!great secret. I love it. My pages look beautiful with less intense coloring making it such a pleasure to color with pencils. I especially like the different shades of color that result from your secret..can't wait to get more colors
Hi Teacher. I started coloring last October and have participated in adult coloring meetups, which us a fun way to share ideas and techniques with others who share the same interests. I really enjoyed your Sharpie Highlights video and it has provided me a new avenue of approach to have fun with. Your presentation is very professional and I look forward to watching your channel. Thanks for helping us novices to take our hobby to new levels. Jim.
Thanks for showing your secret weapon, the Sharpie Highlighter. It's a great idea, and I'm going to try it with some others that I have here. Great idea. Thanks.
Sharpie Highliters are such a great idea!! I have us them to color on my maps because they are transparent. I have been frustrated recently wanting my colors to "pop". I just started experimenting with combining colored pencils and Sharpie Highlighters and other transparent markers. This idea is perfect!!!!
I love this new tip using the sharpie highlighters set. it made such a huge difference. thank you so much for the new secret weapon, I can't wait to try it this evening
I am learning so much about coloring with your videos - thank you! I was never happy with colored pencils because of the white peeking thru. So I went straight to markers but now am collecting gel pens and I guess Sharpie Highlighters too! I find coloring so interesting and I have been experimenting with using more than one type of product on a page. Now I can use even more!! . I am old enough that we had art classes until out of elementary school but I never remember being taught any of these things. Thank you again
I thought I’d give this a try since watching it last night. Only, I used the Sharpie S-Note Creative Markers that closely matched my pencils and WOW!! That really makes your colored pencils pop off the page. I’ve wondered how people get there pencils to look so vivid and this might not be how they do it but it’s how I’m gonna do it!!
Sharpie Highlighters. I love your presentation and will be giving it a try. This is also the first time watching you and love it.. I color for my benefit how many 50 yr olds can say they still have a stash of coloring crayons, pencils, pens, and gels.
Sharpie Hightlighters - Oh my Word. This is amazing. You are awesome. I've learned so much about coloring by watching your videos. I absolutely going to try that. Never in my wildest dreams I thought of using Sharpie highlighters in coloring. I also love vivid bright colors. I love gel pens and use it a lot (about all the time). Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in the videos. We appreciate it very much. Greetings and blessings from Gauteng South-Africa.
While I may not love the results of every technique you may showing in the video. I absolutely love the time and creativity you have and share with the world. Definitely wouldn't have thought of highlighters being used this way, but you have produced some beautiful results. Thank you for your time and energy your spend give well detailed information on the techniques you have in your videos.
I finally got to watch all of this video! Very impressed at the lengths you went to share with us how everything plays out with the use of Sharpie Highlighters! Who knew Sharpie Highlighters could yield such beautiful results?! Can't wait to color tonight! Thank you for sharing. :)
I love Sharpie highlighters I think they are wonderful and you have taught me I can do so much more with Sharpie I always liked them when I was going to college I use them all the time and now I have a new purpose for them thank you so much
I work with students whom have special needs. We get to color almost everyday as part of the Montessori principles. We are exploring the world of coloring and we love using Sharpie Highlighters in our schooling, can't wait to combine the two different mediums.
That is quite a trick Jennifer. Thanks for sharing your new way to color better by using Sharpie Highlighters. I have a few also from my kids school stash so I am going to go give this a try!!
I enjoy all your videos and your tips and techniques are so valuable. Also your instructions are so clear. I am new to coloring and I would never have thought of using highlighters
All I had was a blue highlighter and a green colored pencil at my desk and tried it on kraft colored sticky note, and it came out to be a teal color that I love. Awesome tip. Going to be investing in more highlighters.
Call me crazy but... I don't like it. Maybe it's because I like the white in between? It makes it look "organic" if that makes sense. I just don't want to put fluorescent highlighter underneath colored pencil. It sounds like a sin 😬 Neat trick though :)
+Bethany Stocker, lol...I love your "sin" comment. One of the best things about art is the nearly limitless things we can try. We get to like our own things and try anything we want. So much fun!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.
Just a little fyi in case you didn't know but i lost the feed upon first seeing this video so i typed in the words weapon and coloring and found this video surrounded by how to colorb toy guns to look real and other weapon color videos.
Brilliant tip using highlighter pens as a base for other media. The SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTERS set looked great. I'm very new to all this and have only used gels up until now. I'm slowly starting to get a selection of different pens/pencils but it's expensive and I just don't have the money to get what I'd like. Your video was so informative and helpful to me, with me being so new to this. I'll defo be coming back regularly for my next fix! Thank you. 👍😁
Sharpie Highlighters really make a difference in the final look on the coloring pages. As you said, it colors the white and shortens how long it takes to color things.
+Dani Neuenschwander, glad you enjoyed the video! I loved sharing this idea with everyone...when I discovered it literally squealed with delight...I think I love art. 😉
Sharpie Highlighter pens are so cool and I will be using them as my base colour every time. Thank you for your instruction videos, I have learned a lot from you.
The best video ever! Thank you o much! I will be using your secret weapon . First i must buy tons highleers. I am new to a coloring book and I been enjoying it!
without much time left due to stage 4 pancreatic cancer SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTERS , look like they'll save me time that's so precious to me , great video jennifer! thanks for taking the time to do everything it takes to make a great video , thx

Thanks. :)
Can we just talk about how she’s making perfect circles effortlessly 😂😂
muscle memory takes practice...
She drew them first you can see the pencil lol
I noticed that when she was doing it as well, she is really an amazing artist and I live with an artist. They draw with such ease, I am jealous..
I love using watercolor as a base, you can choose any shade of any color, as well as using acrylic paint.
Sharpie Highlighters will be my base layer of choice from this day forward thanks to your secret weapon video. It is an eye opener for colorists of all ages. It is so generous of you to offer a "give-a-way to your viewers. This video was a true learning experience. Thank you.

+Rh Ra, that sounds sooooo pretty!
I'm speechless! Thank you very much for sharing!
i will admit the sharpie highlighter base does make the pictures you showed look amazing
Call me crazy but... I don't like it. Maybe it's because I like the white in between? It makes it look "organic" if that makes sense. I just don't want to put fluorescent highlighter underneath colored pencil. It sounds like a sin 😬 Neat trick though :)
+Bethany Stocker, lol...I love your "sin" comment. One of the best things about art is the nearly limitless things we can try. We get to like our own things and try anything we want. So much fun!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.
You have the best hilleter color ever😃😃😃

Just a little fyi in case you didn't know but i lost the feed upon first seeing this video so i typed in the words weapon and coloring and found this video surrounded by how to colorb toy guns to look real and other weapon color videos.
Great tutorial. Thank so much for thinking it all out out so carefully. And for being so generous.
Brilliant tip using highlighter pens as a base for other media. The SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTERS set looked great. I'm very new to all this and have only used gels up until now. I'm slowly starting to get a selection of different pens/pencils but it's expensive and I just don't have the money to get what I'd like. Your video was so informative and helpful to me, with me being so new to this. I'll defo be coming back regularly for my next fix! Thank you. 👍😁
Sharpie Highlighters really make a difference in the final look on the coloring pages. As you said, it colors the white and shortens how long it takes to color things.
