The blender actually works, most people just happen to use it the wrong way. To blend colours, you first need to put down a layer of colourless blender. Afterwards put the colours you want to blend on top of that. Be sure to apply a bit of pressure with your marker to push the colours into eachother until you have a seamless gradient.

I also did better with a new tablet. :P But I was lucky enough to go from a 10+ yr old Wacom to a knock off drawing monitor. My line arts improved in leaps and bounds. Digital painting is a transition... But I do agree the materials only take you so far... I had years of experience with a tablet and the new one just improved one of my weak areas because I knew how to make line art traditionally already and i'd just finished inktober... The only time I think materials will matter is in the limits the cheaper ones have such as the lack of color options of water based markers... And the fact that they stain from other colors where the more expensive alcohol (not copics alone) can clean that ink out... But the more expensive is still useless if you have no skill to couple or experience to add... A copic cant make a oval a circle... But practice could.

If you color out of the line, you can use the blender to fix it! - i would recommend using cheaper marker before going to copics. Copics is a professional markers. They are also too expensive rather than a cheaper marker price is, and try to learn on how to use a marker first! Then you can go to copics! Edit : I got these tips from my sister!

Technically you can use it to blend into white if you want the effect of a shine without harsh line. Another technique is the "tip-to-tip" method where you can place the tip of a colored Copic to the tip of a Colorless blender to create a lighter shade. The third method I've seen people do with the colorless blender and actually use that one first, pretty much wetting the area with colorless ink to let you lay down a smooth layer of color, and it does make it easier to blend on top of it since it's better to blend wet-on-wet ink. So yes you can use it to blend, just not in a way that seems well...obvious to use. I didn't know about the third way until about 3 years ago when I saw somebody do that at a worshop.

I find the colourless blender most useful when the ink is still wet. It works best for softening the harsher lines between blended colours. But you need to do most of the actual blending work with the layered colours rather than relying on the blender. Just experiment with different techniques and find what works best for you :)

You can make really cool effects with the colourless blender by tapping on the ink with it, laovaan has a really cool video about that on his channel (without wanting to put your content down, I just think its really cool how he coloured the hair almost rainbow like with that technique) And for markers and blending I'd really recommend the rendr sketchbook, it might seem a bit more expensive than the copic sketchbooks or other marker paper etc. but it's really the best paper for marker, especially when blending, it doesn't bleed through at all and shouldn't use too much ink either because it's not heavyweight (a lot of people complain about their paper either bleeding through too easily or soaking up too much ink)

It dont really suck up too mutch ink, I have 6 years of experience with copics and watercolour paper XD I had the same markers for 6 years and only a few ( 5 of over 100 markers are now dry) of the ones I used the most went dry! :D I did alot of full coloured A3 and A4 drawings too :) I think it comes down to preference though! But i wouldent recomand marker paper, it is over priced ( at least in my land! i can buy a 500 pages watercolour A3 block for 20 dollar, but marker paper with 100 thin pages cost 40- 50 dollar) And you can only blend and lay on colours to a certain point before you draw a hole in the marker paper ^^; And i get nervous since the paper is so thin! thick paper is more durable in the end :) But thats my preferance XD

@chilljelloton20896 жыл бұрын
I know this video is old but you can actually blend with the colourless blender! You just can't really blend two colours or a dark colour. The blender works best as... Well a blender when you are trying to blend a light colour out into the paper. Mid to dark colours don't blend as well. Other good uses for the blender is correcting small colouring mistakes and creating cool textures and effects.

another good tip- don’t let random people at school use your expensive markers. i brought my markers into school first time i ever got them in 7th grade bc i was so proud of them (i’m now a freshman in high school) but this random kid asked to use them and i knew they were high quality but i let him anyway and THIS LITTLE SHIT uses the brush side of my copic and starts jABBING HIS PAPER to make fucking POKA DOTS. i snatched that out of his hand so fast oh my god people who don’t know how to take care of supplies annoy me so much to the point if i bring in my prismacolour coloured pencils in i wont even let them use those bc i’m not letting them end up snapped in half like every other wooden pencil in a school.

This may sound a bit cruel,but I think you're not using a proper paper for your markers. The colors seem a bit off and random tiny darker blops of ink are located in the colored area. Marker paper and Copic Marker paper (especially made for copics) usually don't work out for most people. Maybe you should experiment with different papers?(try (kinda) cheap ones too)( I'm working with sketch book paper that isn't really expensive at all and works super well with the copics and fineliners I use) But of course,if you are satisfied with the paper it's completely fine. Everyone to their own,by all means. Though I think the paper kind of "takes away the quality" of colors and the artwork. Overall,it's a very informative video. Good job ^^
@MacyLam6 жыл бұрын
yea thats what i thought too. i like using mix media because the paper is thicker and i can layer more without making those weird splotches that happen with marker paper.

I prefer using watercolour paper ( 200 g thic ) :) Then i can blend as much as i like and i can use watercolour, paint etc :) And id dont suck up too mutch ink, i have 6 years of experience with copics and watercolour paper XD I had the same markers for 6 years and only a few of the ones i used the most went dry! :D I did alot of full coloured A3 and A4 drawings too :) I always buy sketch book paper that is from 200 - 160 g thic since it is perfect for testing colours, blending and colouring small sketches :)

In college is when my art took off I was all pencil until I was given a set of colored markers for Christmas, and they weren’t the best, but I learned from them. I was living legend early on in my first semester of college, but I made myself even more famous by putting my artwork all over the school.

The blender is supposed to be used before you put colors i think???? Im guessing, and saw someone successfully blend by using it first so thats probably what you need to do. But I was confused about it literally until only a hour ago /after watching the video and seeing her do it/
