If you'd like to see all of my marker videos and tests... here's a playlist of them all.

this would actually be so helpful 😭 every time i draw with markers there’s a horror show on the next page lol

Thanks for including us in this video! One added benefit of using a good marker paper, especially an impermeable, coated stock, is that markers last a whole lot longer! Some artists consider it sinful to use good markers on newsprint, even for sketches, because it wicks away so much ink. We think maybe some different types of markers (with different solvent bases) might perform better on the papers that showed some bleeding, BTW

If you can't afford marker paper, as it is a bit expensive, put something like cardboard in-between sheets you're working on!

“my name is gustavo but you can just call me sus” 💀💀

Is no one gonna talk about how those marker strokes were so satisfying?

Here's the thing, marker paper is not meant to stop bleeding through, it's made to allow blending. It's a common misconception that marker paper stops bleeding. It does not. It allows the ink to sit on top for longer so it blends.

[ohhhcrud..]

The really thin stuff is helpful for preventing bleed-though, but honestly I really hate that stuff. It’s so thin and fragile and the stuff I’ve used always has a weird freckled texture. I’d rather put another paper underneath instead of using paper that’s specifically made to not let the ink seep through. My favorite marker paper is definitely Ohuhu so if anyone needs suggestions I would seriously recommend that paper :D

I would actually recommend Crescent Moon's Rendr sketchbooks and paper! They are my favorite sketchbook by far, and their whole thing is that the pages don't bleed and it's amazing how true it is. It's also really thick and works for a lot of mediums- I also like using coloring pencils and watercolors on it. Go check one out next time! You won't regret it.

Just put another sheet underneath your art to prevent it soaking the next page! And then you can do gouache or other art on the backside if it’s in a sketchbook to cover the bleed through

HELP I JUST FOUND A TALLY HALL REFERENCE 😭🙌‼️

[lillianadkins]

You should really try ohuhu!! It is my favorite for blending and even if it does bleed it comes with a plastic sheet to protect the other page.

Him with the second one “well a little better”.
Me “ that’s almost perfect 😭😭”

[derickjoshuagarciano]

Can we just appreciate how JUICY those markers are?

[strangepersonthatplaysanin]

I just wanted to say, this channel brings me so much joy for some reason and inspires me to continue creating art even if I am not the best.

that gustavo portrait is incredible, i love baking bread. bravo vince

[sjc_alters]

I’ve always loved bienfang marker paper! It’s thin enough so you can place your sketch underneath and still see it but durable enough that it holds up to blending with marker and pencil crayon.

[lmachine]

Honestly I just make a habit of placing a scrap piece of paper under the paper I'm drawing on with marker

Scott I can’t tell you how happy your videos make me, they always put a smile on my face. From your art to your beautiful organization of markers, you’re truly one of my favorite creators out there.
