I've seen a lot of comments lately on my
channel to try these markers out sorry

pretty cool bag oh this is what we're
trying today these are the artists that
ever blend markers and if you watch my
channel I use a lot of stuff by Artesia

I'm excited to try these and by the way
I got to talk with our Tessa and they
are sponsoring today's video so Thank

even a pouch here I could I could stick
paper in there and then draw on the go
alright this is the cover art I think
that's really cute Wow okay so there's a
chisel tip a fine tip and what
replaceable moves Wow okay high quality
stuff here's getting intense
by the way one of the nice things that

turquoise one look at that it's a
triangular barrel what this is the
bullet nib and this here is the chisel
nib both guys I I don't even know what I
want to draw but I I just know I'm
really excited I have been eyeing these
markers for a really long time so many
people have requested that I tried them
and yeah Oh get a load of this girl I
feel almost bad that I'm gonna be
ripping all these out of this beautiful
case cuz I'm about to make a mess okay
you see this marker here something cool
about it all the colors are like
actually on the tips you like know
everything that you're using very well I
just think that's like a really classy
way to convey your colors that you're
using ooh perfect skin tone good okay I
was afraid because I wanted to draw a
person and I just wanted to test the
skin tone it's really all right all
right all right
oh oh I should use the blender I can't
get it back in the case one of the mom
okay found a royalty-free reference
photo on pixels so yeah who do I credit
for this I believe to dreamers took the
photo so thank you for letting me use
your royalty-free photo
Oh am I getting some sex that oh my
goodness they have all these mustard cut
hair green what is this I want to know
oh your girl is gonna be drawn some
botanical stuff today okay
let's decide a composition all right
okay we have our reference set up over
here I'm gonna alter it a little bit I'm
just I'm looking at it though yeah let's
see I just want the face really but I
need to practice
like composition and anatomy so we're
gonna just like do a little thumbnail
drawing in our sketchbooks so in a
previous video I drew a girl holding a
flower pot what's so excited about it
and that's kind of what we're doing
today now my erasers over here
well this drink says to follow your gut
so I'm gonna follow my gut and draw
anyone telling me to follow my gut um I
don't know what I want her hair to be
doing I just got off the phone had a
really weird phone call but while I was
on the phone I made this
finish the sketch decided what colors I
want
I am excited and I pondered my align art
situation like do I want line art or not
so I might you're like a purple color
okay I sketched most of this off-camera
and decided to use a purple fineliner
I think I'm gonna go over everything I
really just like the way things look
when I use the purple fineliner it makes
it makes things look softer she's got
some thick eyelashes I get so nervous
using a fine liner guys but it really
scares me oh okay okay so from here on
out I'm going to do a voiceover and just
tell you about my process tell you what
I thought about these markers first I am
outlining everything with one of the
artists affine liners I ended up
choosing purple I followed my gut and I
just I really liked how it made this
whole piece look a little bit softer and
the fine liners were water-based so when
I went over everything with this alcohol
marker girl nothing blood no ink smeared
it was fantastic sighs really happy so
one thing I noticed about these markers
is they blend very easily so there were
like three skin tone options that I
really really had to work with for what
I was going for I wanted more of like a
sun-kissed but pale look and yeah I only
used maybe I used before colors I can't
remember three or four colors and it
blended fantastically I was really happy
with it there's also a colorless blender
that comes in this set and basically it
lifts color so if you do go too dark and
you want to perhaps lift a little bit of
that you know happy accidents happen
we're good we're good
but we can correct them too it was great
I did do that on the face once I really
also liked the selection of greens and
and yellows I felt like I was able to
convey a lot of different plants with
the greens and yellows
I actually didn't use very many Blues in
the plants but I was still happy with
the selection that they had so it comes
with a chisel nib and a bullet nib and I
felt like both ends held up really well
I tried to use both of them pretty much
equally I probably actually used the
bullet nib a little bit more but the
chisel nib was very like inky and juicy
which was great because it wasn't
streaky in large areas and I'm super
picky about that with different markers
so I was really happy about that and
that's another thing I wanted to mention
it's not super streaky when you do large
areas or small areas you don't need a
lot of layers so that's an upside I do
wish that the bullet nib was a brush nib
but hey you know what it's still
performed really well and it's still
blended fantastically so I can't really
complain about that I was really happy
with this composition so I think I'll
talk a little bit about my art piece too
I am really into plants if you're new to
my channel you will find that I love
incorporating it nature into my artwork
and I think it's just because of my
science background and my mom
my mom actually worked in a greenhouse
for a really really long time and ever
since I was little she's always loved
gardening and she's always sending me
plants so I just I really love them and
I think she's really inspired that in me
so I like to express my love for plants
in Meritor and I thought it was really
fitting to just do another conservatory
piece I've done one before on my channel
and I
I really like doing those it feels fun
because it gives me an excuse to draw
really fun surroundings and yeah it was
really fun also just shooting the hair
on this piece the bulletin it was really
good at getting like very exact hair
strands so I was impressed with that and
if you know me in my marker pieces I
also put this to the test but when I use
other markers I always incorporate like
a lavender color and try to mess around
and do some shading with that so if you
look closely at the hair if you go back
I did incorporate lavender and I liked
the way it blended it kind of muted some
of those yellow tones and I felt like it
made the blond hair look a little more
realistic so I was pretty happy there
let me know if you've ever tried these
markers before that is the first
question of the day and the second
question of the day is what is your
favorite plant okay first question have
you ever used these markers before and
what do you think of them if you have
actually second question I'll repeat it
what is your favorite plant and if you
want to tell me what your most recent
piece is I would love to know I asked
that pretty much every video but dude
some of you guys tell me some crazy
stuff you're working on and I'm always
so impressed like in one of my recent
videos somebody commented that they're
painting a hubcap on a car and I oh my
goodness I found them on Instagram I
literally like searched them out on
Instagram and I found it it was so so
cool so please tell me like what you're
making down below seriously I live for
it I decided at the end of this to do
all these little cobblestones on the
floor and I was a little nervous about
this part because first it
like I was afraid it would be too
detailed but a plain floor was just
lacking something but I was pretty happy
with it
so yeah that's a wrap we're done we are
finished with this and I I thought it
was really fun I was really impressed
with these markers so I give them an a
do wish they had a brush nib but that is
okay and I really enjoyed making this it
was really therapeutic honestly thank
you for watching thanks for putting up
with my weirdness once again have a good
day guys bye
