If you're struggling with blending your markers, you can also try layering your pencils on top of your markers! Here's how: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abBpoMaoq9erpJs.html

Tip: you know how sometimes the names on the markers rub off? I found out that if I get some clear tape, cut some that is as big as the name area and stick it on, it seals the names and numbers on the cap so you don’t have to rewrite it if they come off, especially if your handwriting is messy like mine! 🥰✌️

Did you hear the news? Ohuhu is one of the major sponsors for my 12 Days of Giveaways - starting in just a few days! Who’s excited!?

10/10!! Best skin video yet. Your suggestion and demonstration of using a reference photo AND sharing websites is a game changer for me. THANK YOU!

I’m completely mesmerized by your coloring with markers! Wow and yes,please a tutorial on hair alone as well as using pencils

Oh my goodness both are gorgeous but the lady with the flowers is, chefs kiss, perfection

I vote for the gair tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

So, I wanted to try alcohol markers but did not want to spend a lot of $$$. I found Ohuhu. Bought the 160 set and the 24 skin tone set. Finding your channel has been a godsend!! I would LOVE to see tutorials on hair coloring as well as great color combos in general. I will keep watching.

Would love love love a hair tutorial there isn’t any good alcohol marker tutorials here on KZfaq (obviously yours are amazing!!!) but your the only one that actually is breaking it down

Adding darker grey colours in areas of deep shadow is a real game changer. I even go all the way to black sometimes, even with lighter tones. It really gives a picture depth. I also like to use coloured pencils for rim lighting, especially when the rim lighting is a different hue. Great video though thanks.

You are greatly talented my dear. i love your teaching and videos.

This was so helpful! I've watched many videos on using alcohol markers, and this was by far the best on teaching blending!

Yes please do hair tutorial

I really love ohuhu markers i discovered them back in 2020 and the set i bought of 120 is still sooo juicy! I was using them today. Theyre amazing for their price and the company customer service is amazing! I loved this video Sarah thank you! Also how exciting now they have a 48 set of skin tones ☺

You are a delight to watch whether you are creating or instructing I love your personality which is genuine and Always light.

Thank you so much for this video. As a beginner I find doing skin tone portraits frightening and overwhelming. This helped. But I think I still need some more courses for shading. I love Ohuhu markers and don't feel that there are enough tutorials for them.

Just bought my skin colored Ohuhu markers to add to my 120 set and my 48 pastel set, and I am anxious to try them out ! Great video Sarah!

Your videos are so helpful! I just love them. Thanks!

The markers application is just beautiful!

Thanks a lot Sarah. That’s one the most useful videos for face painting with alcohol marker on KZfaq.

so glad I found your video, I have not long treated myself to a complete new pen set and sold my old set which I just couldn't get on with, however my new 120 set didn't include skin tone shades and as the same brand didn't have any stock of the skin tones and I was too impatient to wait I found Ohuhu, very reasonably prices and what looked a great colour selection for the skin, I am a complete novice at colouring and can never seem to get the shading right, your video has given me an insight of how just how to do this, still not done it yet but I do have my image ready to start now just need to find that reference photo, so thank you for all the additional tips you have given.

Most definitely a very helpful, jam packed with useful info video. I will save this one for future references. Thank you.

Could watch u for hours. Love your work 💕

This has been the most informative video I've seen!! Thank you so much

Rotflol!!!! Happy day!!! Just catching up to this one and not for nothing I feel such a dope that I never noticed the gray band to indicate the brush nib!! AWESOME “tip” 😆 I’m just starting to try skin tones and as usual you are very helpful in your techniques and blending thoughts. Thanks as always and cheerios!!

Thank you I just got this Ohuhu markers , great help,love reading way of the dark skin is always hard for me

Thank you for the great tutorials!

Thankyou would ❤️a tutorial on colouring hair.👏🌈

I'm SOOO glad I found your channel. 1. I love an Austrailian accent (I'm from the USA.) It is so relaxing to me to listen to you guys talk. 2. You are so talented and knowledgable. So lots to learn from you. 3. Your filming and editing aesthetic and style is so beautiful. I'm wanting to start my own channel and it is inspiring me even more to watch you. Thank you!!

I've finally got my alcohol markers, same as yours, and I'm very new to them so a tutorial video would be a blessing.

I just bought some. I absolutely love these markers. I actually used to not like markers because I thought they were messy.

Thank you for the video. It helped me in some areas. 😊

Thank you I really needed this tutorial 🥰

Wonderful tutorial! I want these markers.

I need to swatch my colors on the paper I use most. I know I need to just do it with every new sketchbook with every different color medium since I use different mediums throughout. Starting new sketchbook soon will do for new sketchbook.

Fellow Aussie here, Linda. Fantastic video, I really enjoyed it and, I learnt a lot (not bad for just a mere 23.46 minutes of my life). I purchased this skin colour set of Ohuhu markers about 18 months ago but had no idea how to use them until I watched this video today. When I purchased the set, I did fill in the swatch sheet and, also decided to make larger swatches of each colour, using a Jane Davenport face stamp but, I had no idea about blending other colours in. Really when you think about it, we blend foundation and colour corrector and other products on our face, it makes sense you would need to blend markers when trying to create skin tone. I just never really knew how to do it on paper. Last week, I dragged out the skin tone set to colour another face I had stamped (a Dylusions image) but I didn't blend...just used one colour (which was coincidentally the base colour you used in this video). At that time, I had stamped many of the same face stamps but only coloured one. So today, I had some blank faces ready to go with this video. I didn't get the nice smooth blend that you did and, I had three attempts. I think with the first attempt, I was too heavy-handed with the darkest colour. My face stamp is quite small and I think I shaded a too-wide a section. So, on the second attempt, I shaded less width but, think I brought the shading too far down the face frame. By my third attempt, I was much better but opted to only blend the two lighter, and not the darker shade. It's okay and much better than the one I coloured last week but, I still need a lot of practise. I watched a few of your other videos before landing on this one...going to binge watch a whole stack of your other videos now. How awesome that it's the weekend and I will have time to practise with each video. Thanks Sarah.

This video was great thanks

Awww man I been looking into getting more markers after I my jazza box arrives and I get a feel for it. But I’m a yr late. Dang ittt 🤣

Thankyou. Very helpful 😊

Learned so much. Thanks Mine are streaked maybe no more streaks

I love your ideas and combo’s the reference sheet on all the different skin colors can we get this sheet and where can I get it

I have never used markers of any type before because I always thought they would be flat. You have changed my mind.

Thank you Sarah for this wonderful video I have learned a lot thank you do u have a video on how to use ur Tombow Markers please

Wow you’re amazing! I’ve only started colouring and have started with Prisma pencils of a friends. I unfortunately have horrendous pain and issues with right hand, so been recommended markers. I don’t press hard with pencils it’s probably my fav, but would markers require less strain on hand?!

Great video Thanks for sharing

hi i have the 160 set of ohuhu and i am loving this i dont have the skin tone set so can u do a tutorial without the skin tone set please?

Would love to get an updated video of t , they have 320 set and a 36 skin set which has 20 more colors specially only at the skin tones next to the 320 regular once’s. This video is 24 skin tones right ? Really would love a 36 update .. 12 more that will change so much I guess ❤

my ohuhu skin tone set came in yesterday :,)))

As I was watching, I was thinking 'She's adding too much dark color and muddying the face.' I should have known better. The final result was breathtaking.

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 I have the skin set and it makes it just so easy! Once a few things are out of the way I want to get the bigger set also! Yes please on the hair tutorial as well... I'm in for whatever you'd like to teach me, haha

Hi Sarah! So good to see an Aussie with an Ohuhu sponsorship, *subscribed*! I'm a mum to 3 in Sydney and I got my first ohuhu markers, 72 set and original 24 skin tone set (the one with the green colour 😆), about a year ago and I love them so much. Anxiously waiting for the fine liners and the pastel set to come out, and I was going to buy the 2.0 skin tone set for the lighter tones but now I'm going to wait to see what the 36 set has. So, thank you for the heads up on that!

I love ohuhu markers!!!! I always wanted to use alcohol markers but they were too pricey and the cheap ones with bullet tips were just not the same. So I bought the 72 set when it cam out then gave that to a friend with a daughter who loves art and got the 120 set, but of course now I want the 200 set 😅

Wonderful video. The last picture you colored turned out beautiful!

yes may u pls do a tutourial on hair pls

I just ordered the 320 Color set of the Ohuhu which are Chisel/Fine Tip, because I wanted all the colors, but then, I also wanted the brush tip, which only comes in the 216 count, so I ordefed that as well! Ordered it on prime day so I was able to save $80 total between both the sets. And I'm going to have lots of double colors, but Ill have 216 of those colors in Chisel, Brush & Fine tip. Plus I already had the small set of fine point/brush Hair & skin tone colors, not the ones that come in the bag, but the slender markers that come in the flat plastic case. They wouldn't ship them to Alaska, so I had to ship them to a friend in the lower 48, and she then shipped them to me. Of course, she sent them slow boat, not priotity because of the cost. He says the two large sets were 22 pounds each! Thats 44 pounds worth of Markers I have coming in! I can't wait! Cost $80 to ship from Virginia to Juneau Alaska! I've been playing with the skin & Hair tones for a while. I love using the skin tones as neutral back ground colors for doing floral coloring pages. The Crayola Colors of the World is 24 Skin Tones and they make beautiful backgrounds for doing floral coloring pages. Making the greenery and bright flowers really stand out!

wonderful video dear

Fab tutorial. Is there anywhere to get the blank swatch charts at all ? I looked on your blog and couldn’t see them

The swatch chart they include is a nice touch, but it still isn’t the best paper imo. You should print out a blank chart on whatever paper you like to use markers on, or create your own swatch chart on the paper you would normally use the markers on. This is the only way to really tell what the colors will look like in your project.

Thanks for the info! Where can I find those reference photos like you show in your video with the color swatches beside them?

Would still love to get a set like your skin tone markers from Ohohu though

Hi Dee here from Nz I like you ur lovely and love ur vids cool. 😇😊

I'm just now starting to play with alcohol markers at age 45. I kinda laughed at Jazza's video where he compared alcohol to water based markers, and you could tell he didn't play with water base markers. He was saying things about how you couldn't layer and couldnt blend and couldn't do all these things with water base markers. And the entire time I wats thinking... Um... Well, maybe you can't if you don't know how. And yes it maybe easier with alcohol because there created to do that. But I've been doing all those same things with water base markers fir 40+ years because that's what I had access too. Up here in Juneau Alaska, we don't have an art store, and before the internet, we couldn't order things like fancy markers from Japan. We went to our local grocery store and bought what they had in the 5 foot of office supplies.... I remember how happy I was when Kmart came to town and we got what we called "Real" art supplies in a 12 foot shopping isle! Then Kmart left & walmart came in. Then walmart closed about 8 years ago. We do have a JoAnnes Fabric Store, but were stocked with supplies stores downsouth cant sell, then send it up here to us because were so short on anything, everything sells up here. I bought lots of different marker brands, including cheep ones, just to have a variety. I was exited last year when i got my Crayola 64 marker box in... Noso happy when i found out 16 of them were repeat colors.... But I do a ton of shading and blanding in waterbase markers. If I knew anything about videoing, or had any equipment to do it, I'd love to do a video on how to blend and do shading and all that on waterbase markers. If anyone would like to see some of my floral coloring pages. Just look up Kollean Gouyton on Facebook. Im the onLy one on there.... I really need to get my coloring pages uploaded to my studio group. Mostly just my custom models are uploaded there. Ill try to get more art uploaded to my studio, Stone Wolf Creations. Not the Museum group, just plain Stone Wolf Creations, thats my studio. The museum is for my model horse museum that im shipping south to its new location....

How can I obtain a skin tone blank swatching sheet like the one you used? I tried looking on the Ohuhu website 🤷‍♀️ thank you for the video!

I have the touch markers

is 24 pack is enough or i have to buy the 36

I don't know if you've already done it, but can you make a tutorial with coloring pencil on how to do skin tone & hair?

Love the tutorial, but I found the coloring of the face a little blotchy as some parts are unevenly colored...maybe it’s just me. But I love your coloring style otherwise! I definitely learned some things from this! I always struggle with shading and this helped~

Thank you. It turned out lovely, but do you not need to buy special paper for alcohol markers which means you can’t use the adult colouring books ?

Nice video! Great background music, would love to know the title & artist.

My question is how to do larger areas of skin without having the streaks/lines

In the reference photos you have there, it shows the color pallet on the right. I'm struggling to find such a reference photo. On the websites they don't have the swatches. Can you point me in the right direction?

What’s the best paper to print coloring pages on for alcohol markers? Preferably that fits in a standard printer😅 (letter size for USA)

I have a pack of 120 alcohol markers and I am kind of suffering with blending the colors and I’ve seen a lot of videos of how to blend the markers and I don’t really know how to do it

I have the full set of skintones from Arteza called everblends. Would you consider a review of those?

also do you blend with the lightest marker or the colorless blender?

I have a Christmas present of Cailart art markers

Do the markers bleed thru sketchbook paper??

I only bought the 120 set now. And my experience isn't that great so far lol

Are these markers refillable?

Crying because Amazon ships alcohol based Ohuhu markers to all of Australia EXCEPT Tasmania, because we’re not… real? 😭 What if… you reviewed the water based Ohuhu markers 🫠

Too bad I bought markers before I watched this video

Fun fact, ohuhu is a Hawaiian (I think) and it's actually pronounced ("owahoo") they went lazy with the spelling and that's why so many people mess up the pronunciation.

too dark

This video went too fast for me in the coloring and you didn’t say what color you were using in each step

This video really turned into a big mess for me. Really does this have to be so hard and so much I’m no pro but I don’t think this video is gone to be very helpful for many people maybe a new video on skin tones with markers
