Do you use waterbased markers in your colouring? What is your opinion or experience with them?


Some videos where I have used different techniques with Tombow Dual Brush Pens:

I absolutely agree with the loving the process part. I've seen too many people racing to finish as many pictures as possible, but I personally enjoy the journey. Finished picture is just a cherry on the top. I don't see myself finishing any coloring book any time soon, but I find that it helps to have a coloring buddy for a certain book - that's how you fill it faster with finished pictures.

Useful information. Many years ago I used these pens for brush lettering. But, I’ve not colored with them until now. I like the idea of basing with them in coloring books. They are the best. Even my old pens are not dry. Thank you again.

I’m a beginner colorist and I’ve been so curious about using water based markers! Thanks so much, Shel! ☺️

[nadine]

Thank you Shel! This was very helpful and really well explained👍. I have Ohuhu waterbased markers but I’m sure they will work the same including tip to tip method as shown on another channel. Now I will know what I’m doing when following your color alongs!😀.

This demonstration will help me get more use from my Tombows. Thanks!

[MrsBeasleys]

You did a great job with this video. It took a lot of work. I learned several things from it. Thank you!

[YourGirlVee]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am ashamed to say that I have a little more than 60 Tombows collecting dust in my art room, most of them have never been used. I was initially going to use them for a bullet journal but I kind of lost interest in that and then I found adult coloring but couldn't see how I could incorporate them into my pages. I really want to use what I have (which is a lot lol) and so this is going to be very helpful. I also think this method will save me some time. Thank you again!

[veronicadunn]

So glad you mentioned Eriy books. I was using my watercolor brush pens and they work on the paper similarly to Tombow's.

[jennytillmans]

thanks! this video was really helpful, and you explained it verry well😊

[shaustin]

I need to use my Tombows more after learning these tricks. TFS.

[colourwithdan]

Oh j oh love this I have loads of tombow from my calligraphy. I’ve never used them on a page but I’ll be giving it a go now. Thanks for sharing x

[Tigerbabe]

Thank you. You did a great job of explaining ❤

[evenichols]

Great video Sherl. I am new to this lovely art and am thinking about trying a small set of the Tombows after watching your expertise in applying them to paper. I think I might try and get a Japanese book though as they seem a better quality? Thanks again!

[corinnepoelman]

Thank you for sharing, I already finished a picture your way and I enjoyed it very much

[freerise]

I’m glad I am not the only one who meticulously swatches their markers/pens in the order I have them in the container 😅😂🤣

[AmieWardArt]
