Hello there! This time I will be sharing my recent re-discovery - alcohol based markers. They are forgotten art supplies I used in the past and rediscovered at the end of last year. In this video I am sketching acorns and leaves and share how I plan to more forward with this medium.
I hope you will enjoy this video and hope it can be a comfort watch whenever you are. Grab yourself a cup of tea and cosiest of blankets.
🌛Here are some pros and cons regarding to alcohol based markers. I wanted to chat about it in the video but did not really managed to do so. (This is my personal opinion btw)
PROS
Easy to use, not messy
Can blend colours together
Huge colour selection, refill available(for copic)
CONS
Copic and W&N markers are expensive
Once you start buying its hard to stop (I think that's why I ended up with so many markers in the past)
Because alcohol based - if you are more sensitive to smells this might be a con.
