Cute Ink using washi tape and markers💕

#fanart #ink sans #traditional #i got alcohol markersss #there was a huge sale at a store and i snagged a huge set for like #8 bucks??? #hecc yea for sales and coupons #theyre no copic markers #but theyre pretty alright for practice #also i love washi tape #but i dont see much cute patterns that i can use for art #if i find some theyre usually way too espensiv #i cri #i think bucket hats r cute

im making a csp color set with copic marker swatches and the way some of these colors are sorted/ the colors themselves are genuinely baffling.

first of all the "official" swatches (which i assume are also the colors used for the marker caps) are WAY off most of the time, theyre far too light....

also, in theory, the colors go darker the higher their number is but sometimes theres just one shade in there thats almost darker than the last shade or its a completely different color entierely!!!!!! like V0000 - V09 is warm purple tones but for Whatever reason V04 is this insanely saturated textmarker ass fuchsia??? or sometimes its the same color 2 or 3 times in row like G05 - G09.....

Last Of All sometimes nothing makes sense... why would they do RV32 Shadow Pink, RV34 Dark Pink, RV42 Salmon Pink, and go on with RV5x like why is RV42 on its own im sure it could have went into a color sequence (theres literally two other colors that also have salmon in their name) also its way to red for the whole RV (red Violet) range........

second last of all: E0000-E02 are all very light peachy tones, then E04 is this muted pink liver sausage color, and E07-E09 are really rich reddish brown tones.... why are all of these in a sequence together!!!!

#this has pissed me of almost ten years now like i “”“”only“”“” have about 100 copics and i Hand Picked all of them (didnt buy a set) #and still theres about 15? markers in there that a either useless bc theyre exactly the same as other ones OR #bc its a completely different shade from the color chart....... #im losing it

#sebastian vettel #f1 #f1 art #whiny artist craves recognition #i always forget how much i enjoy traditional art #lile WAYY more than digital #theres just something about the ethanol smell and the paint smell and the dirty fingers that digital art cant replicate #idk im a snob im a purist i just like traditional art so much more i like having physical things #i love turn brain off and draw physically #it's funny the marker is so dark when you start drawing and when it dries it all looks so similarly colored #i used part super expensive winsor & newton markers part cheap wish markers and it doesn't show #the wish markers dry out faster thats true but theyre great tools #and my favorite copic (the one i dubbed 'seb hair color') Y28 lionet gold

Guy is unlucky enough to start existing when I am in my traditional art phase so no two pictures of him look the same lol 

#trapdoor art #traditional art #guy devereaux #call of cthulhu #im working on getting better at additive coloring #it really shows in the hair #the darkest purple there is a tombow water based marker and theyre really rough on my paper but... #i like how crisp the brush edges are. i might get them just for final shading since they dont bleed at all and layer really quickly #theyre also much cheaper than your avg copic so

watching art videos and recognizing michaels products counts as a mental illness i think

#someone whips out some ribbon with the Celebrate It™ brand logo on it #and im like haha. thats a michaels store brand. sold exclusively at michaels #brot posts #michaels posting #or craftsmart. artists loft. art minds. recollections #what else is there im sure we have other store brands #BELMONT. belmont frames. #CREATOLOGY. for kids crafts #oh and uhm. make market thats the newest one #ASHLAND for seasonal stuff too #if you shop at michaels and you see any of these brands just know theyre the equivalent of store brand #bc for some reason Michael loves to move away from name brands and produce everything in house #theyre trying to move away from name brands as much as possible which is crazy to me like we cant have ALL store brand thats stupid #especially for the fine arts and stuff like you cant have people looking for like posca or copic markers and. we just. dont sell them?? #we are an art store how do we not sell name brand fine art stuff #idk. i digress #we’re definitely transitioning away from name brands but the rest is hearsay on reddit like surely we can never reach 100% its just insane #but yeah we’re definitely moving more towards in house production #like just recently we got rid of DIAMOND DOTS. FUCKING DIAMOND DOTS #and replaced it with the fucking make market store brand version #oh and the art minds vinyl rolls. instead of cricut or siser now we got store brand vinyl #etc etc all new shit from the past few months #but at least thats IN ADDITION to cricut and siser unlike make market which just replaced diamond dots entirely #head in my hands i am burdened with knowledge about the inner workings of michael #WAIT SORRY I REMEMBERED ANOTHER.

okay MAYBE i have a problem.

[id: my marker collection. 3 full cases of 72 markers (two of which contain spectrum noir, the other has copics), an 80 pack of ohuhu markers, and my crochet bag holding a bunch of prismacolours and some offbrand alcohol markers. /end id]

#vv.txt #vv.img #art supplies #to be clear this is accumulated since like 2016 #at one point i had Every Spectrum Noir Marker. and then they completely rehauled so i have all the Old ones they don't sell now #theyre good affordable markers but they tend to have spots of ink accumulate sometimes #half my sn markers are dried out though and when i bought ink refills from them they were NOT accurate colour matches. #so my prismas and copics ive been getting a few at a time over years and it's finally built up #my copics are the ones i use most atp but the others are great for the colours i dont have in copic #marker world marker world

copic markers r so expensive . and for What

#i have other alcohol based markers that work just as well #one of my copics r dead man sobs #dannie.txt #theyre so expensive ! i dont get it !

[nexo-nex]

i forgot to mention cause I was busy as hell but I got my new markers mailed to me last week :DDDD theyre amazing I want to draw all day with them

#b.txt #i love drawing so so SO MUCH- BUT I NEVER HAVE TIME TO DO IT GRAAAAAAAA #they are dollar store copies of copic markers but idgaf theyre still amazing

[coyodeity]

me? working in traditional?? crazy.

i got those tiktok paint markers, i think theyre called grabie? idk. anyway, here's an honest, unsponsored review: they're okay. they layer really well but they don't blend and come in a very limited palette. they also take a bit to dry, which makes sense, but it's not my favorite. they do come with a nice sketch pad made specifically for the markers, though, and that's what this miku is drawn on. i still prefer my copics but these are nice for bright details or highlights. theyre okay for their price.

(hc) Being a Spring Sibling Includes . . .

pairing(s) : Tori / Charlie Spring + Sibling!reader

synopsis : how being siblings with tori + charlie would be !

warning(s) : sibling dynamics , fluff + comfort ideals , mentions of self harm ( broad / undetailed ) , implied homophobia , h*rry gr**ne , mentions of the f slur .

authors note : i sadly will not be including oliver from the osemanverse books , since i cannot accurately portray him as i havent read the books he features in . hope you enjoy regardless !

✦ firsts things first , sibling age hierarchy .

✦ regardless if youre eldest , middle , or youngest , tori will always feel like an older sister to you by the way she very deeply cares for you in such a . . . blunt manner .

✦ charlie , however , can either be an older brother idol or a younger brother you care about just like tori .

✦ you basically have an amazing emotional support system in the form of tori and charlie .

✦ tori and charlie constantly remind you that you can always text them or talk to them .

✦ sometimes you feel like you dont deserve either of them , but they make sure that you shake that mindset away .

✦ whenever youre in a dump , theyll offer to take you to the mall or arcade , or anywhere you like to go .

✦ god forbid you ever self harm , but if you do , nick and charlie are there for you .

✦ theyll never shame you for doing it , but they will make sure you try not to do it again .

✦ theyll help you patch up your scars , get you something to drink , and overall just make sure you are 100% comfortable .

✦ on the other hand , whenever charlie or tori has a breakdown or a bad day , you try your best to be there for them .

✦ youll sit there and let them vent or soak your shirt in tears , just as long as you get to see your sibling better than their previous condition .

✦ you three made an old joke about saving up for therapy , but at some point , you three actually ended up making an actual communal therapy fund .

✦ napping with these two are great .

✦ usually , if youre tired enough , youll pass out on either of their beds , and theyll just shove you to the side before napping next to you .

✦ just like your siblings , you also have a nickname everyone calls you by , just like tori from victoria and charlie from charles .

✦ coming out to either of them would go absolutely swimmingly .

✦ charlie would obviously be happy to have another alphabet mafia member in the family , and now tori knows to purchase those god-awful rainbow socks during christmas as your present to annoy you .

✦ the sibling group chat with these two . . . is something ! . . .

mental asylum char — nick said he can come over ❤️ char — also did either of you take my charger tori — ew more snogging y/n — LMAOOOO char — tori did you take my charger ?????? tori — [y/n] can u bring me stuff while him and nick r snogging y/n — if i dont die from cringing then ok

✦ while charlie was crushing on nick , you and tori had to watch the endless pining and yapping .

✦ charlie was dropping way too much info to document , so you just kept voice memos of him talking about nick .

✦ you showed them to him afterwards , and yes , he asked for you to send them to him .

✦ even when charlie didnt confirm his relationship with nick , you and tori just sat back and watched it unravel .

✦ you had something akin to tori's older sister magic , in that you turned up with anything either of your siblings needed .

✦ if theyre looking for that old pair of converse , youll have it . if theyre looking for that old copic marker , its in your drawer . that old usb stick from birth , yes , its in your backpack .

✦ you and charlie have great jam sessions .

✦ if you play a musical instrument , great ! he finds something both of you can play .

✦ if not , he'll buy one of those cheap karaoke machines with the microphone or grab a hairbrush so you can be his vocals .

✦ tori will occasionally join in after charlie insistently asks , singing along with you .

✦ you three have a group playlist together titled ‘trilogy done wrong’ filled with an amalgamation of all your favorite songs .

✦ you three often times bake together , although . . . its a hassle .

✦ charlie is constantly smearing flour onto you and and tori , you constantly keep moving the ingredients around the kitchen while grabbing stuff , and tori threatens to add too much flavoring or ingredients just to throw some chaos into the mix .

✦ mario kart . mario kart , mario kart , mario kart .

✦ if theres ever teams, its always you and tori versus charlie .

✦ you and tori swear he cheats but regardless , he'll slow down and pretend his controller bugged out just to let you three win ( you both realized this pretty early , but a win is a win . )

✦ movie nights !

✦ prep time before movies are a disaster . someone stole someone elses snacks , the blankets have gone missing in the dryer , and somehow , the remote vanishes and ends up in the bathroom upstairs .

✦ when you finally get to pick the movie , its a split decision between rom-com , scifi fantasy , or horror .

✦ charlie likes to say hes brave , but whenever horror is selected , expect the pillows nearby to be placed in a makeshift visual shield .

✦ tori likes to knock down said pillow shield during the jumpscares . its quite fun to watch . not so fun to have charlie erratically kick you out of fear .

✦ whether you attend truham or higgs , youll have a sibling on campus . take this as a blessing or a curse .

✦ ESPECIALLY if you go to school with charlie , you keep reminding him to tell you and tori if harry and his rugby mates ( that title sound so stupid to you and tori ) mess with him .

✦ tori and you wont physically deal with him , but its the thought that counts here .

✦ when you and tori caught word of harry calling charlie a fag , you both almost contemplated posting it on her blog just to ruin his life .

✦ you opted out of it . . . but the idea is still in your notes app .

✦ with the mention of tori's blog , tori will OCCASIONALLY let you post on it . this is basically a ‘what did we end up doing right’ kind of situation , but youre thankful nonetheless .

✦ studying with these two is amazing . or hell . like a lot of things .

✦ if you have flashcards , they wont go to the next one until you end up getting the current term right . doesnt matter if it takes all night or how many hints , theyre not skipping flashcards .

✦ writing an essay ? tori will jokingly nitpick at your word choice , loudly sipping at her already finished glass of diet lemonade .

✦ charlie would second guess himself and , in turn , make you second guess your OWN self .

✦ he profusely apologizes after but still giggles at it .

✦ back to the diet lemonade thing , there is 100% a designated place in the fridge or pantry just for the gallons of diet lemonade . just for tori .

✦ once , you and charlie finished the diet lemonade gallon , and tori was pissed . or , it seemed like she was .

✦ you and charlie ended up paying for an extra few more gallon fulls of diet lemonade just because you two felt bad .

✦ whenever you three go shopping , if you set a budget , either expect to spend way below it or way ABOVE it . there is no in between .

✦ the whole receipt for charlie is just converse and some other trinkets he ends up placing on his shelves .

✦ tori either buys cables and sd cards for her laptop , or spends it on an unhealthy amount of diet lemonade .

✦ you on the other hand , spends it on whatever you like at the moment .

✦ and regardless , these two dorkheads make being a Spring just a little bit better . ( you tell this to charlie or tori and it gets to their heads !!! )

hi! I was wondering what you used for your silver doodles? (Paper, markers, etc?) love your art :)

AHH!! i used a LOT of different pens on that page, let me give you the rundown (i assume you mean this one)

first were all of my currently inked fountain pens - i have a few that i havent filled for a while just b/c theyre a pain

left to right: moonman m2 inked with sailor manyo sakura, kaweco sport in limited edition iridescent pearl inked with j herbin diabolo menthe, moonman n6 inked with j herbin corail des tropiques, nahvalur original in peter draws artist edition silver inked with sailor manyo sakura, twsbi eco inked with pilot iroshizuku hana-ikada, twsbi diamond 580 in special edition iris inked with pilot iroshizuku hana-ikada, and a lamy safari in special edition light rose inked with diamine soft mint! all nibs are fine except for the twsbi eco, it has a bold nib

i also used the tombow fudenosuke brush pen, a red pilot g2, and a couple other random black pens i had laying around (cant remember the specific ones)

for the markers, i use copics because i am unfortunately that bitch, SOWWY. i recommend buying cheaper alcohol markers like ohuhu or touchfive/touchnew instead. the generic michaels brand ones are prone to dye crystalization so i cant recommend them

the paper is just shitty sketchbook paper, i think its literally strathmore Sketch(tm) paper, the one with the yellow cover. i have to put a piece of paper between the pages to make sure markers dont bleed thru, but it surprisingly handles fountain pens really well. also im just guessing because my friend gave the sketchbook to me as a graduation gift and she ripped the cover off to hide how much (or more accurately, little) she paid for it :P im still friends with her shes awesome

Do you have any advice for drawing with markers? I'm trying to improve and wondering how you do it so well

alright yes i do. okay so markers are all about LAYERS of color. so here's some WIP's of a work i did recently we'll walk through some tips.

so step one here is the sketch. you'll want to get either a kneaded eraser or just be careful, and lightly erase over the entire image. this picks up loose graphite, and keeps your markers from smearing gray across the entire thing.

so i lay down a base layer. this isnt actually one marker though, its three. using the lightest marker, block out everywhere youre going to color. use circular motions or a brushtip if you can to avoid streaking like what's in this shot. then, if you have markers of very similar hues, begin darkening the picture where you need to. in this case, it was the ears and side of the nose.

remember: YOU CAN ALWAYS GO DARKER, YOU CANNOT GO LIGHTER.

i then went in to block in her makeup, the tulip, and darken some of the shadows. you can see specifically in the ears and neck that ive used the smaller tip of my chisel markers to slowly transition it from one marker to another. blending doesnt exist in markers. you just need to IMPLY a gradient. the flower is a good example as well. use multiple markers, and slowly make your way from one half of the gradient to the other.

a lot of what i can do is due to the fact i have so many markers. if you need large marker packs and cannot afford copics, try arrtx. that's what i used for the flower in this.

when i draw hair- something i know people want to know about a lot- i start with my lightest color, and sketch in the directions the hair is flowing. for stelle here, her bangs swoop down and to the right, so thats the direction i will lay down those colors. its like painting.

also in this, you can see how deep ive made the insides of her ears, and how ive used a dark gray to line her face and give it shape.

this shot is also a good example to show how i fucked up on her earrings, and since i cannot go lighter, theyre going to be tinted gray now. just something i forgot to keep in mind.

alright theres a lot to talk about in this one. firstly, let's talk about UNDERTONES. to give your piece more depth and life, you can go in with other colors besides your main shading color- in my case, gray- to make the piece pop. ive switched to a light purple, and have added it as a highlight to her cheeks, tips of her ears, and hair. it brings out her hair, and makes it seem fuller. less flat.

a lot of how i use markers is with curved strokes and many colors to sculpt out an image, rather than just filling in the lines. this is why i add line art last.

okay one step at a time with the finished picture.

first step here is line art. youll notice how i dont harshly outline every single part of the piece. instead, i lightly go around areas i think need defining. i outline her horn cuff, i outline her ears, her eyes, and then i loosely go around her hair with similar strokes to when i sketched it in the first place.

second step is a white gel pen. it can be a simple jelly roller theyre really cheap. just make sure it works. if your pen isnt rolling smoothly, try warming it up in your hands by rubbing it quickly between them. if not, try multiple pens before buying them. bring a piece of paper to your local michaels or hobby lobby or other craft store, and see if it rolls smoothly on YOUR paper. then, go around anywhere that needs a highlight. i did this over her eye markings, her makeup, tiny dots over her earrings, and over her hair to once again round it out.

my final tip is to adjust your pictures in some kind of editor once you are finished. i went in just using the basic iphone settings, and messed around with it until it matched what i wanted the pic to look like. in this case, i turn the highlights to the left, and played around with the temperature and tint settings, and messed around with their basic filters. honestly, just play with it until you think it looks good.

those are my tips for coloring! i hope this is comprehensible!!

i LOVE thos gals u drew (idk who they are or what theyre from but u drew them so well <3 im a relatively new follower lol) what markers did you use to color them in ? :0 i'd be surprised if they were copics tbh LOL- i personally havent known copics to be so solid & so bright <33

Theyre Rae and Claire from the best yuri series of all time, I Favor the Villainess (I’m in Love With the Villainess in the official translation).

also yeah theyre not copics… one day when im a multi trillionaire that can afford markers of that quality i’ll pop off so hard

until then ill be using my generic brand art markers…
