oh god here she comes hi miss Bowie you
cannot have coffee kisses no coffee for
you kisses no puffy okay please go get
it please thank you yes get it get it go
hey guys it's ray here welcome back to
my channel and welcome to my review of
the chameleon markers now I have been
doing art youtube now for a while by
Bowie and by far one of the most
requested videos out there is to review
the chameleon markers now the chameleon
markers are probably one of the most
unique markers that you will ever find
the marker itself comes with a brush nib
a bullet nib as well as the colorless
blender that you attach to one of the
marker sides you let it soak for a few
seconds and boom you have this really
awesome transition that starts from the
colorless blender all the way back to
the original transition and these
markers they have raving reviews like I
have never seen one bad review on these
markers for example there are so many
art youtubers out there who I personally
know and trust who absolutely love these
markers now I do have kind of like a
little story that I wanted to insert in
the intro that is going to affect the
rest of the video as you guys know I
live in the middle of actual nowhere and
there's only one craft store that's
around me which is Hobby Lobby so when I
got the markers of course I started like
drawing with them and swatching with
them and upon realizing it some of the
markers were dried out and I was so sad
because I love these markers so much for
example whenever you have a marker that
is full of ink it'll sound like this but
whenever you have a marker that's a
little dry out it'll sound a lot like
this and don't get me wrong I absolutely
do not blame chameleon marker company
for this at all in fact they handled it
like an OG I reached out to them on
Twitter and email and within 10 hours
both of those messages had a response
and they were super kind and respectful
about it like hey what can we do to help
you what tips can we give you what can
we
in the meantime send us a picture of
your stuff like they handled it like a
true og and in addition to that this is
kind of weird but like oddly all of the
darker colors they swatch like
absolutely perfect and I was able to get
just like a just a taste just a taste of
how well they performed normally mmm and
girl that's where it's at and even
though some of them are dry I still
wanted to put this video out because one
I was still able to get some really cool
artwork whoo I want you guys to see my
like real first impressions of me like
seeing the first time of the transition
from light to dark 3 I wanted to share
the awesome customer service that they
had so yeah I just wanted to clear that
up I wanted to give this company a fair
chance and again I personally would like
to remake this video with some newer
sets so I'll probably buy something
maybe next month now with that being
said guys sit back relax and enjoy the
review bye why am I saying bye I'm
literally not going anywhere so yeah I
picked these up at Hobby Lobby for $60
with the 40% off coupon and I think I
just so happened to get like an older
set okay so we're just gonna get right
into this video because I'm super super
excited about these markers I'm still
[ __ ] with how expensive these markers
work I feel like if I was to go on
Amazon they would have been much cheaper
nope I was actually quite wrong and also
sorry in advance if you can hear my
neighbor's dog yapping away its outside
and it is very very very upset for some
reason now these markers are the 22 pack
as you can see here they come with what
looks like a really nice variety of
colors which I'm very excited about we
have all the primaries we have some
secondaries we have some skin tones we
have the blender it even appears like we
have a fine pointing marker which is
very exciting so yeah I'm just gonna go
ahead
openings up oh these are so nice oh my
god these are so nice this is probably
one of the best packaging I have ever
seen with markers that is so nice now
something really cool about these
markers is that they can just slide out
of their package so in the box it
appears that you get some kind of
instructions let me double check to make
sure these are instructions really right
what else would they be like honestly so
I think these are the American
instructions there's a lot there's a lot
of instructions so I'm gonna read
through this and we'll go through all
the instructions real time so I will be
right back so one thing I would love to
say is that I really appreciate how many
instructions are located within these
markers I love the way that it has this
tone chart that way you guys can see
like if I keep it for a10 seconds this
is what its gonna look like if I keep it
for 35 seconds this is what it's gonna
look like and not even just that in
addition to that it even has videos for
every single step of the wave which is
really really awesome for people who
might not speak English maybe they have
trouble reading or maybe they're just
like myself who is a very visual learner
that is nice okay so now to open oh man
look at that that is oh man these are so
nice oh my goodness I don't even want to
work with these these are so nice oh my
god so I'm assuming this one might be
the detailed pen which is really
considerate for a marker set I've never
seen that with any marker set ever this
one must be the colorless blender which
this one makes it very clear that this
is made to remove color and not blend it
you know who you are so I currently
don't have any marker paper with me but
I do have some mixed-media paper
so these are probably gonna seep through
the bottom just a little bit even in the
instructions it says that these might
even bleed a little bit so I
really like when marker companies are
just straight-up they're very honest
with you so far I am loving these
markers oh look how huge they are oh my
God look at that
Wow these are so big look how big that
is I did not expect it to be that big oh
look at the little chameleon
how cute is that that is so cute yeah so
according to the directions this is the
blending chamber where you stick it on
and let it soak for a little bit and
then this is just like the regular
marker oh that noise is so satisfying as
a more artists version so first let's
just test out like a regular swatch like
just a regular old line of red
[Music]
and to mix it I guess we're just gonna
stick it on for a few seconds you have
to hold it up like this so all the ink
will go down and we'll just like give it
like five seconds so 1000 2000 3000 4000
and 5000 oh wow
oh it's working oh it's working wow that
is so neat I want to try that again with
a purple let's see what color should we
try out next this blue is really really
pretty this color is called royal blue
and it's a really pretty color so
another cool thing about these markers
is it's not that it's just a regular
bullet nib but there's also a brush nib
on these markers for nice blending which
is really really nice
oh this blue is so beautiful oh my gosh
I'm gonna die it's so pretty oh oh wow
it's working oh it's back to normal
oh man that is so neat and the next
color that I'm gonna use is this really
beautiful warm sunset color dude camera
up focus please for five board okay well
just pretend you can see it zoom you in
that's what it looks like normally yes
yes clean you better work you're gonna
hold it in for however many seconds
let's just let's hold it for a long time
let's do like thirty seconds of just
this holding oh dude you can see it
changing colors from like a dark brown
to a really light ingredient so I'm just
gonna let this soak for a really long
time 2000 years later
oh that is so neat oh look at that that
is so cool I feel like I'm gonna need to
practice with these more and kind of
like really get the feel for him before
I could get it give an accurate review I
guess this is gonna be kind of like my
review slash first impressions but so
far these markers are probably the
coolest markers I think I have ever used
yeah there is some bleeding but we knew
that was going to happen okay so here
are all these watches a man right off
the bat I am so impressed with how well
these things swatch like for example
whenever you get this blue color you're
gonna get that blue color sometimes you
get markers and it has like a dark blue
cap but then when you actually go to use
it it's a light blue and another cool
thing is that the colorless blender
works really really nice its watch is
very subtly but very evenly which I have
never used a colorless blender that is
this nice alright so the next thing that
I'm gonna do is a little bit of
chameleon markers science now I have
seen online that people somehow mix two
of the colors together but I'm not so
sure exactly how they did it since
there's not really a tube to mix them
together so we're just gonna experiment
now honestly I'm sure you can just like
mix one
boy I'll feed you in a second you
literally just a I heard you literally
chewing downstairs and now you're coming
up here for more food you wonder what
you're fat that is why you're fat Bui
so these two that I have are green grass
and aqua marine so yeah we'll just wait
until they finish okay so it's been
about I don't know maybe about 30
seconds and I have the teal so in theory
it should go from green all the way to -
oh dude it's working whoa what is this
wizardry oh it's still going it's still
going still going still going whoa whoa
whoa what is this what is this what is
this are you all seeing that that is
like a perfect gradient what is what is
that is this real is this real life oh
my gosh so for today's drawing instead
of doing like an illustration I thought
I'd put my own little twist to it and
today I'm going to be doing some realism
with these markers this is really when I
got to put everything to the test and I
was able to see and it's such an
interesting / amazing things that
there's probably a hundred different
marker colors within this one color you
know it completely beats out having to
buy a bunch of different shades of
yellow blue green because you can just
make every single one of those with just
one marker
now this black was one of the ones that
worked perfectly and it is by far one of
the most opaque markers that I had ever
used in fact it was so opaque that I
kind of stressed out because I was like
wow that looks like a really heavy
contrast against the yellow which is a
really really good thing for future
drawings because I know if I want black
I'm getting black and I would say that
yeah it does take a little bit longer to
use these because you are waiting in
intervals to blend out the markers but I
mean look at that that is so worth it
[Music]
now on to the detailed pen I'm just
happy that a marker set put a detailed
pen in that is such a great idea now as
far as the detailed pen goes I used the
thinner side of the two sides and
whenever you start using a pen initially
there is gonna be some kind of tug back
so thus my pig head in the corner trying
to get as close as possible but any
mistakes that I had made with the
markers with the pen that colorless
blender is amazing
I'm pretty sure there's like wizardry
witchcraft involved because it is the
best one I have ever used it erases
blends everything
[Music]
now one thing that I don't really see
that often in marker reviews that people
don't really think about is the
feathering so if you're like me somebody
who likes to do realism and you know
just layer that baby on there if you
notice with these markers there's no
feathering
[Music]
and here we are ladies and gentlemen the
final color corrected image and I just
want to say that I am so bad at drawing
circles let's just pretend there is a no
walking is going on but anyway I am
going to give these markers a rating of
9 and with that being said guys thank
you so much again for watching and I
will see you next video bye
[Music]
