These would be perfect for adult coloring books! Arrtx Alp Markers: Let's compare all the sets!
ฝัง

- It occurred to me after recording this that these markers would be ideal for adult colors since the bullet tip it very small and the ink flows slower than other brands I've tried.
Please read the review below for more info and resources I mentioned in the video!
Arrtx had outdone themselves releasing a new line of alcohol-based markers this year under the name Alp. You can see the variety of markers they have here: amzn.to/3ii6Wpl some of the newer colors sets are not showing up on their store page so check here for the other sets: amzn.to/2DL5OeC
The Arrtx Alp markers have a slimmer rounded triangular barrel made of white matte plastic with color chips on each end. The arrtx name is printed on black on the marker and both end caps are labeled with a color number. You can see the color name and number on a hand color swatch that comes in the box. The box is designed to be permanent storage/display. The 90 color set has a plastic grid in the bottom of the box to keep the markers in the order you like while the other boxes have a cardboard grid that can bend if you are not careful. The 80 color set and skin tone set also had a metal clasp on the front but they have replaced that closer with a magnet of the other sets, an improvement I think as the clasp would get int eh way when setting the box up for display. The markers have a fine bullet tip and a standard chisel tip. The bullet tip is smaller and harder than the other markers I have used. I find the ink flow to be a bit slower in the Alp marker, that is not good or bad, just an observation. I also find many of the pastel-colored markers have color chops that are much darker so be sure to make a swatch.
Ibeleivethat there are 200 unique colors in the line of Arrtx Alp Markers. You can get all of the colors if you buy the 80a, 90b and 36 skin tone sets. If you bought those sets the only duplicated you would get would be black and clear blenders. This would also include the 4 fluorescent colors, not in the color family sets. The prices range from about 60 cents a marker in the larger assorted backs to about 96 cents a marker in the color family packs so it is more affordable buying the big sets if you like them as all of the colors in the color family sets are in the 2 big sets. If you are unsure I would recommend starting with the skin tone set as none of those colors are duplicated in any other sets and then you can decide if you wanted to pick up the smaller sets as your budget allows or save up for the big sets.
These markers are more expensive per marker than the original Arrtx markers or similar grade markers that run on the same color numbering system with the exception of Concept or ShinHan Touch. Here is a color chart of the Shinhan touch markers. I recommend printing one out to color by hand if you get these: www.otakufuel....
*You may notice many maker lines use these inks, the color names and names match but you may find little discrepancies between brands. The alp markers appear lighter and I wonder if it might be the harder nibs restricting flow so the ink appears lighter. I had no issues blending these markers.
You can refills for the markers here: www.jacksonsar... and it is less expensive than copic.
***The skin tone set appears to run on Copic comparable colors if you go by the name of the color they are a perfect match for Copics of the same name.

You work so hard, you really deserve to be spoiled by art supplies companies...
Yes! We have to learn to receive. Giving comes more natural for most.
It’s nice you mentioned the caps are easier to take off. My 84 year old mother was almost in tears trying to do her coloring last week because the Caliart caps are getting more and more difficult to take off. I’m about to order her the 100 Crayola Supetips in hope that children’s markers are easier to de-cap!
Lauren Agnes ....oh bless her! I know my own mum had problems like that and I know how frustrating it can be. I also bought my mum the Crayolas, and they are definitely easy to use and last for ages. Give her my best wishes and happy colouring 🤗🇬🇧
MoonSpinners oh fantastic! Thank you for letting me know to try the Crayolas!
MoonSpinners she will be so excited to know someone is wishing her well from the other side of the ocean!😀🇺🇸
Lauren Agnes ...no problem at all 👍😁
Lauren Agnes ...oh that’s so great! Technology is amazing isn’t it? Tell her the caps on the Crayolas are easy peasy to get off.
I think the fact that these are lighter and more pastel sets them apart from the other brands. I know with the ohuhus people were upset that there werent many washed out colours. So even though i have the full 200 set of the ohuhus i think i may still pick these up. This video is super helpful i was going to get the 80 set and all the colour family sets but now i know i just need the 80 and 90 set and possibly the skin set.
Glad it helped!
I agree. It’s nice to have many bright and vibrant colors but I’m actually someone who enjoys a lot of pastels 😅 these looked really nice for washed out colors and I also recommend the pastel tombow dual brush pens as well. Although those are water based
This is also the same kind of issue I have with paper pads and most of the single sheets sold at the national chain stores - for the most part, the papers offered are just not subtle enough!!
Your swatch doohickey with the holes punched out is ingenious. 💕
I saw Lindsay’s swatching a couple years ago, and, when I started swatching stamping inks, I began using a yin/yang symbol. The thing gives me a good idea as to how the ink would work for both a solid image and a line-drawn image. As an added bonus, I, too, punched a peep hole in the solid inking (where there’s a “dot” on each half).
Even within the first five minutes of this video I found it 100% helpful! Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this research for us so we all can save money! I often go back and forth between my art mediums and I was looking at expanding my current Blick Studio marker selection. Arrtx, Ohuhu and many other 'affordable' marker brands are very popular on TH-cam and art Instagram right now and I really wondered just how much they differed. This is a big help in deciding which affordable brand to go with as well as knowing just what color selection I will be getting amongst all the different sets. I can't thank you enough for narrowing down this search for me and many others!
Omg 😱...so many markers! Your review was so thorough and organized! Thanks for doing all that work and sharing. I was wondering about duplicates in the sets. Good to know all the colors are in the two big sets minus the flesh tone colors. Love the boxes, too! 😎
I appreciate the hard work you put into this. Very beneficial for my purchasing decision.
Thanks for another great review. I am a admitted "marker addict", and this info was so AWSOME.
Awesome review!!! These were totally calling my name on Amazon. I think it was the pretty packaging. Good to know they are akin to the Ohuhus. I am still pretty hung up on the nice array of greys!!!! Thanks, Lindsay!
I was able to get the Arttx Grays to use and review. I'm only getting into art late in life. So I swatched out the grays and each swatch I made, I ended up with three layers using the chisel tip. The first layer was the whole length, then I would use the chisel tip again over 2/3 over the first line. Then I would use the the chisel tip over the last third. As I increased the swipes over the previous ones, the colors got darker. When I was all done I was a bit stunned at the colors I had swatched were all in the gray family, yet I was seeing blues, purples and green! Then I looked at the picture on the swatch card and on the box and to my surprise, it looked to me like both pictures were made using just those colors in the box. I also found that with the very lightest colors I didn't seem to feel like they had enough ink in them to make the color come out fully if at all. I really do like this set of markers, Now to learn how to use the the best!
Thanks for a very thorough comparison of all the sets-that was a lot of work on your part! Very much appreciated!
"I'm pretty swatched out for the moment" LOL Been there. LOL Thank you for the helpful review. Love your personality!
Your portrait of your daughter is awesome. How about a portrait tutorial? It could be of anyone. I am just starting with alcohol markers. I did purchase the black and skin set. I appreciate the softer tones to work with. I tried alcohol markers in the past and couldn’t blend or shade with them. I gave up on them but I think these markers will be easier to learn with.
Wow need to lay down and have a nap feel like I’ve had a marker Christmas Dinner! Lol. Fantastic look at these markers and also very informative.
Your reviews are so thorough! Thank you so much.
Thank you for comparing the colors on each set!
I just started getting these sets for our little guy. He is almost 7. He loves the Purples box so much!!
Wonderful!
Holy swatches Batman!
Cool info on the usable colors in other brands. Very smart of them I think. That's part of why I never started with markers- you can't refill with this or that brand, you can't match up with a different brand if you run out of one marker, color dups, they don't sell separate markers, and so on. It was also smart packaging with the different color groups, it's quite attractive. I don't have markers except for some Sharpies (still learning with paints and inks) but I find the color boxes very pretty and kind of want them all lol. But, there again, you point out to get the eighty and ninety set if you're a person who wants all the colors.
Good video, thanks!
Lol! Also, it sounds as tho this company listened to common and justified complaints about markers and offered a more universal marker. Smart business sense, for sure!
Oh my word, how did you keep that all straight in your head. I would of had to make notes... you're good!
Seriously, huge thank you for all the work you put into this presentation for us. 💖💖💖🙋♀️
I liked your swatch doohickey, thingamajig also. Great idea. That's what I love about crafters, were like crafty engineers. If we need something that we can't find or the price just isn't right, we make it ourselves. 💖😉🤗 thank you
Kudos to You for taking the time to swatch all those wonderful, amazing markers!!!
I'm a wee jealous since I do have a soft spot for any & all markers 😉
Thank You for all the info...I'm now thinking about getting myself my own pretty box - Yay!
Happy Coloring! 🌈
Lindsay, you have markers like I have fabric. I have 9 Rubbermaid totes full of fabric and I just ordered more fabric yesterday for another face mask project. Face masks never end. 1350 masks in total I've made. I still have more orders. Crazy. Take care. Stay safe. Blessings.
Wow! I made 20 and that was enought lol! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for all your great reviews! I purchased theses markers for adult coloring and they are great! 👍
Ok you got me! I just ordered the skin tone set. Will try them out. I do love my copics. I am liking trying new markers. Thanks for all the info!
Lots of work! I would love an all pastel box.
thanks for all the new info great video appreciate all your info and work
Wonderful and comprehensive review! I SO appreciate this! ty!
Excellent review, very informative, I think you covered every aspect that anyone would want to know about before purchasing markers. Thank you.
They sent so many! I love the purple /blue /skin boxs. I actually emailed them asking if they would send me products to review for my instagram *not really confident in them doing it* these boxs are so cute!
After seeing so many people seem to struggle to get skin colors with gouache it seems like the skin colors might be useful for that. What I don't like about alcohol markers is they bleed through the paper, now I hear they aren't light-fast. Now I wonder why they are so popular. I think I'd rather have something that won't bleed through the paper because sometimes I'd like to add a little color to a planner.
And coloring books are frequently double sided paper so they would only be good if the book was one sided pages. I just got a set of colored sharpies the other day and realized my error as soon as I doodled with them the first time. bleed through, blah.
@@recoveringsoul755 they like the flat fast colors you can get with easy clean up
@@recoveringsoul755I use markers for stamped images. You can also buy marker paper - it allows a smooth application. Bristol Smooth paper can handle a variety of mediums, as well. But mostly I just stamp, color and cut the images and then glue to the cardbase or I use another piece of cardstock to stamp and color on, then glue that piece to my card base - no one sees any bleed thru. Coloring books printed on both sides do best with colored pencils and gel pens and maybe fine liners for the smaller images. It's all a matter of trial and error such as you experienced with bleed thru sharpies! If I buy a coloring book, I try to buy a book with images printed only on one side of the page and either take the page out or place a sheet of thinner chipboard in between the pages and bleed thru to the next page is not a problem. Watercolors can be mixed to achieve a variety of skin tones rather than buying a convenience color (in a skin tone) and gouache is simply opaque watercolor. Some people on youtube are misinformed and making false statements about gouache, such as "it's acrylic paint", because apparently Arteza sent out tons of gouache samples to a variety of youtubers that do not understand it and did not care enough to research gouache. I even heard a rather popular youtuber tell people not to use their "good brushes" with gouache. It's watercolor and cleans up with water! Be careful where you get your advice from. Lindsay knows all about different mediums and about different types of paper so she's the one you can trust/rely on for correct info and she researches the products. I wish I had found her years ago when I started buying - I wasted my hard earned money on many products that were thrown in the "it's crap pile" and now I cannot buy much of anything ... so asking questions and gathering correct information is important.
@@cassiescreations9828 I agree Lindsay is great. I don't make many cards these days and my stamps are somewhere else right now. I decided last fall finally that I wanted to try watercolor. And I can do a very light wash without bleed through, little bits of color even on regular paper. Plus a small amount of watercolor takes up less space, can mix about any color you want and very little disposable parts.
I grew up watching Bob Ross and it took awhile before I found people today doing actual art, just kept running into digital art and Manga. I just wanted to start cheap. Finally found YT's art community and going from there. I watched a lot before buying anything.
@@recoveringsoul755 The great Bob Ross - "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents!" And that pocket squirrel! So glad you found watercolor and that you found Lindsay! Keep up with the watercolor! I began by being intrigued with the beautiful way the colors mixed on the paper, even the lack of control intrigued me but what really got me were the beautiful "happy accidents" and I totally understood what Bob Ross meant. You watch Mind of Watercolor, as well, don't you? If not, do watch him and Maria Raczynska, both are so inspiring! Take care!
I love the containers they come in. Very useful.
Your reviews are thorough and helpful!
Your videos have helped me both save money and spend it.. so it’s a win win
Lindsay just to let you know you forgot to circle a couple of the fluorescent colors 125 (80 set b) and 126 (90 set a).. 121-126 are fluorescents.
Hi Linsey! I’m wondering if you can do a skin tone tutorial with the Arrtx markers?
I'll add it too the list!
Finally an awesome review video!!
I’m waiting for my pink set Arrtx markers and I can’t wait to give them a try :)!
Thank you very very much for your tips! ✨
I'll have a review of their new brush markers today!
I see these all the time on Amazon. The boxes remind me of the old 1950 TVs that had handles on them !
This is such an awesome video! I watch all videos including blog fully.
Very, very helpful. Thank you!😊
Excited to pick these up.
Wow those are lots of searching 🌞 thank you for your review!
I was just commenting to someone that this company seems to have listened to common (and just) complaints about alcohol markers and they offer a more "universal marker". That is smart business and so is keeping the cost down. However, the lighter color saturation, when using, is odd! Thank you for doing the research on these markers.
The more I think about it I think these may have been influenced by the adult coloring book market. The hard bullet tip keeps the ink flowing slow so you can color tight spaces. I think if you go slower you will get a deeper shafe but this way you can keep it light or layer up.
I love your reviews. I will have to check these out!
Thank you for the review on the markers.
Thank you for all the helpful information!
Thanks for the review. Thorough as usual. 👍😊
This was really helpful :)! I was wondering if there is a good video explaining how to refill?
Just pull out the chisel nib and drop in the ink.
I really like the storage box.
I mean I love my cheap markers and I really really don't mind chisel tips, I actually use them more often than the brushes,and those boxes are just sooooo gorgeous 🥰 I just don't know where I should put any new markers - and my mom would probably kill me anyway, if I did ^^'
If I'd get any of those the first I'd go for sure would be those skin and grey tones :)
After seeing those pretty pastels, I kinda regret buying the ohuhus. Definitely picking these up after my ohuhus are all used up!
So pretty!!! I have to look away though. XD I already have the Prismacolor alcohol markers.
I had no idea they have alcohol markers until you wrote this and they claim them to be archival. Thanks!
@@cassiescreations9828 Oh, glad to accidentally help? XD I didn't know Prismacolor says their archival. Nice! :)
I would be leery of that claim. I actually just looked it up and it is their fineliner markers that are pigment based are archival quality but not the alcohol ink prismacolor premiere markers. Prismacolor markers are good though!
@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks for clearing that up! You're the best!
Great info as always! Thank you for that. I still need to swatch out the markers I already have. Lol
Wow amazing!!!! I've stars in my eyes. Beautiful, I am addicted to markers, pencils watercolors aboveall markers!!! Who loves to draw is addicted to all the types of colors like me. I have promarkers, l'emouchet, thouchfive. Wow skin tones markers l' ll buy with the same box. Amazing amazing 👏🤩🤩🤩
Good review! As always...Thank you!
So many markers in the thumbnail!!!!!! I'm dying
wow the color is complete!
I ordered the blue red green purple 24 sets this week 😛😛😛😛😛
I love your reviews
Very helpful review!!!
Lindsay, please tell me if this is b.s. … I heard somewhere that if you’re trying to determine if two values in a drawing are the same or different, you can overlay the drawing with a RED transparency to make the determination. Sadly I don’t recall if the “trick” was just for black & white, or also for colored drawings, nor where I heard it.
That usually works unless the colors are red or green as green will look overly dark and red light with this method but it helps. Squinting can also help determine values.
I love the Windsor & Newton fine nibs and they are durable unlike Chameleons fine nibs that ware out so fast
Wonderful review! Thank you for your research and thoroughness! It is so appreciated! I want all the markers mainly because of the beautiful packaging! Lol! I'm a container addict! 🤣
I really like their packaging. The new boxes have a magnet closure, so much better than the clasp! It's nice to have useful storage rather than something disposible.
@@thefrugalcrafter I totally agree! I like the clasp, but I can see it would get in the way. They magnets are a great idea! 😊
Seeing how the colour numbers and family groups are the same accross multiple of the affordable markers, would it be safe to assume they all come from the same manafacturer? Almost like the cosmetics industry, with how they approach formulators/factories.
Thanks for posting this video! Glad to have found your channel!
Oh, I'm sure there is just a few factories these are coming from. They use the shinhan color codes for ink so they may make the inks for them.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks so much for replying! Ohh, very interesting! Gonna have a deep dive on that code haha - Recently got into alcohol markers, so learning a bunch!
Thank you so much for the review Lindsay! Unfortunatly I could not understand the brand for refilling markers you mentioned... Can you please name it again and maybe even where to get them (outside the USA)? Thanks and have a wonderful day!
Shin hand touch twin refill inks. Jacksons art has them and they ship worldwide.
Wow so much great information! Any good tips on where to find refills (or what to use for refills) for original spectrum noir alcohol markers?
They have recently revamped their inks and should have them a on the crafters companion website but if you want an old refill try blick, amazon or some of the marker skips online like carpediem, markerpop, okatafuel etc. My spelling might be off so double check you have a marker store lol!
These look nice. I do love seeing the swatches. The ones on their site seem to be far more vibrant which feels a little off on their part. And calling that one set purple tones with only 6 markers that seem to be purple while the majority are pink is kind of disappointing considering I love purples and dislike pink for the most part. It's more of a part 2 for the passionate colors set. I love the blues.
Do they have much of a smell to them? The smell the old sharpies had used to make my throat hurt almost immediately and that reaction has gotten more severe over the years.
If I got these I would have to get the bigger sets though or I'd run into never having what I needed to do a full image. I've noticed with the Spectrum Noir Aquablend sets that I have (floral and marine) that I lack a lot of colors I would use to get what I really want to layer and end up not getting to use them as much as I would like. So it's made me a little leery of the building with smaller sets (as I watch the 24 color primary set cost almost double the rest).
Ok, I just sniffed a Sharpie and an alp and the sharpies are much stronger. I would have thought they would be the same. I am not bothered by marker smells (except chartpak) so I hasten to say that they wont bother you but I cant smell them unless I am trying.
I felt the same with the purple set. I also love purple and was disappointed with the lack of selection. I’m the same when it comes to needing the whole set of pencils, markers, etc. Some people call that full set syndrome. Lol!
The packaging is so cute but yes...brush tip only here
Stephanie R.L. Same here. I’m so awkward with the chisel tip.
Thanks for this. I haven’t purchased any substantial markers yet, but am considering it. This would be a definite contender. I looked up the refills, but didn’t see the Arrtx brand listed. I’m wondering about how many times a refill would refill the marker. I hope my question makes sense. 😂 Thanks! Any marker set I purchase would have to have refills available.
I think she meant we can refill them with Shinhan ink? someone correct me if I'm wrong
So if I were to buy an 80 set of arrtx markers I would have most of the colors seen in the family sets except for the skin tone colors? Great review video!
The 80 plus the 90 sets will give you all of the colors except the skin tones and the 24 new pastels.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you!
I see that the Arteza skin tone and gray tone markers have slightly larger sets than the Arrtx, which of the two sets do you recommend?
I'd definatly recommend the arrtix gray set over arteza because it uses customary grey names and color codes which makes it easier to chose colors, it's on a 0-9 scale of warm and cool and blue and green grey. The arteza has unique names for each color so it's harder/slower to pick the right color. For skin thos I'd say arteza because the markers feel juicier and the bullet tip is fatter and softer so I think it would blend better and there is a more diverse range of color.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thanks, I did get the Arrtx set.
And I’m leaning toward the Arteza skin tones. They seem like a better range as you have said. Thanks.
found a lisa frank coloring book abandoned by the kiddies from my Sunday school class and my alcohol markers have been in overdrive since.
Great review there in my cart tyfs
Do they bleed through the paper? I find that most felt tips and markers do, and inexpensive colouring pencils are always very washed out in colouring books. There seems to be something about the paper that makes them so (and you can't really justify buying artist quality pencils for colouring in colouring books.) Have used gel pens instead, but though they are OK with not bleeding through and being vibrant, they run out fairly quickly.
These are Alcohol based so they will bleed through most papers.
I’m wondering if the orange set could be used for skintones...maybe it’s too earthy/orange-based...?
Lots of good skin tones in there. The purple set has many too oddly.
If they have more warmer brown tones in the yellow set that you could use for skin tones, maybe that’s why you don’t see very much in the official skin tone set. Cause those colors exist in a different set. I’m just speculating and maybe I’m wrong. But if colors exist in a different set that you can use for skin tones, you may not need them in a skin tone set. I don’t remember what set you said came first but if there’s no duplicates, why would they include colors you use for skin tones in the skin tone set that already exist in another?
they came out in this order: 80 set, then skin, grey together then all the color families then 90 set
Arrtx just came out with Pastel Brushmarkers, could you review them maybe if u want to.
Sure!
Thank you for your wonderful review! Very helpful indeed ……I only recently got into markers and have the Arteza brush pen markers. Could you make a video on demonstrating creating a picture with them? ……unless maybe you already have so I’ll search your channel and check. If I did want to get into alcohol ink markers your tip to buy the gray tone set is very helpful. Have a great week Lindsay 🌺
I have some, use the search bar on my channel or blog
I'm a MARKER ADDICT TOO😜😜😜
Thanks for sharing !
I need markers to colour in my coloring books with thicker pages. I don't want them to bleed across pages. Staedler are perfect but not much colors. And no colour numbers! I need some others to add.
These are alcohol based so the will show on the back of the page. You probably want a waterbased pen. The Ohuhu dual tipped markers are a good pick!
That is a lot of markers. Is this another Chinese brand? Have you ever reviewed the Karin Markers? Curious to know your thoughts.
Yes, Arrtx is out of China, in fact 90 % of markers ate even if they are from american and European companies. I have not tried Karin markers.
I’m curious if you bought these and you wanted brush tip, could you buy some refill brush tips and replace the bullet tip with the brush tip?
I think you could swap out the chisel tip for brush but the bullet tip is probably too small.
Hi again, when you talk about "reinker" to refill markers, what is it you are referring to? Can you refill Arrtx Alp markers? tia!
Sure, you can refill about anything. You just need to buy a bottle of ink to match. Shinhan or artnfly inks will match by number
Do you have a video of using these markers in coloring books for adults?
I don't, sorry:(
The object of my desire! !! I like all color paint. Like 138
Can you tell me how you make your swatches the ones that have the keychain on it like what kind of paper and stuff to you use?? Any info would be great. Thanks!!
I have a video on that, search marker blending on my channel
Wait I’m confused. Some of the swatches from the colored family set don’t have a check or a plus. Maybe some are hard to see. But if some genuinely don’t have a plus or a check, do some colors from the colored family sets not exist in the 80 or 90? Cause you said all the colors in the family sets exist in the larger set minus skin tones. The math doesn’t add up either. So are there duplicates or not? I’m very confused
My handwriting is a mess, sorry. If you get the 80, 90 and skin tone set you will have all the colors and no duplicates except for clear blenders. Or you can get all of the color family sets and the skin tone set and have all the colors and no duplicates except clear blenders. Hope that makes sence, I might have given up on the checks after I realized the overlap.
I'm curious whose skin tone set would you recommend for darker skin tones [especiay Hispanic and African I don't have much luck with blending these, particularly Mexican shades]? thanks
Arrtx just released an add on for darker skin tones. Id look at that and see how it would work with what you have already
I have a question Lindsey, 🙂 are there ink refills for Bianyo Alcohol Markers, or is there only open stock marker options if a marker runs dry? Thanks for the informative videos!
The bianyo markers dont offer refills or open stock. You could try to match in another brand or mix a custom shade with alcohol ink and blender solution (it actually works pretty well) but nothing from bianyo.
Thank you for the information, Lindsay. 🙂
I would a blue set but it looks like it’s sold out :(
Can you change out the chisel tip for a brush tip?
Yes, the altenew ones are great quality and will fit and cheaper than copic!
@@thefrugalcrafter I'm running into problems with the color bleeding I make hardly any contact with the paper and it just spreads out and bleeds to other areas. Do you have any advice?
I do like the Arrtx markers. I bought the old style like you recommended. Turns out I think the bullet tip is a little fat and soft so they seem to bleed worse than my Caliart and Spreey. You said the bullet tip is the same on the new markers? Are they exactly the same spongy, fat bullet tip?
No, the bullet tips are hard and thin. My old ones are softer but they have been used more and are a bit thicker (slightly)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich
Ok. Thanks. I will think about getting a pack to try out once I have used up some of these others. I like that they come in groups like that. Nice packaging.
wow!
What's the difference between ALP marker and OROS?
Oros have a brush tip and alp has a bullet tip. Both have chisel tips.
great job . So complicated .
I am having difficulty finding the right paper to use with alcohol markers. What type of paper do you use for coloring?
I like the neenah classic Crest #80 super smooth
For you what's the perfect set of markers ? all arrtx or mixed with ohuhu or arrtx mixed with copics ?
I hesitate a lot ... ohuhu or artxx
It depends what you want. Arrtx bullet tip is finer if you want the bullet chisel combo. They are very similar if you want the brush chisel combo. Ohuhu make a bullet brush combo and arrtx does not. Arrtx has the ability to buy in sets with no duplicates so it might work better with your budget as you can buy over time.
@@thefrugalcrafter now arrtx oros have a brush and ohuhu too . Have you a preference ? I prefer a rendering without mark or line. I need your help for choising sorry I draw a lot but i never use alcool marker . I need a marker that renders well straight away without the need for too many techniques.
I know this video is a little old, but I am wondering do these markers do the yellowing that arteza's do. As I'm looking to replace my arteza's with a set that don't do that yellowing thing
Not that I've noticed.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you or the reply, the arteza markers ruined a few of my books with the yellowing thing they do don't want to buy another set of markers from another brand just to have the same problem
Hi again! I am unsure what the difference is between the 80 and 90 sets. I know they're different colors but what's your take?
The 90 set is basically a booster set to fill in all of the colors from the color family set if you already have the 80 set and skintones.
@@thefrugalcrafter okay, so the 80 set is better to start with than the 90 set?
@@Carla-watches I think so, it's a good basic range. I have a review of the 80 set and I show blends and color families while coloring a rainbow daisy. You can create a lot of blends but check that out and compare with the swatch of the 90 and see what's best for you.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you very much!
@@thefrugalcrafter hi! Came back to tell you I got the 80 set along with cardstock to use with mine and I LOVE them! It's my first time using alcohol markers and I am delighted. I wanted to thank you because your videos and responses were incredibly useful!
Which are best for stamping I’m looking for some good markers for coloring stamp images
It really depends on your preference but I think a brush/bullet combo would be ideal. Prismacolor brush markers have that combo and you can build your collection one marker at a time or I think ohuhu hascrhat combo in a 48 pack. These arrtx are great if you want a chisel bullet combo. The advantage of a brush is the ease of blending but you can so the same thing with either. These are cheaper than a brush marker.
Looking for a set that’s not on the high high price end
I’ll try these than you hun
Do any of the markers bleed through paper l?
Yes, alcohol marks do unless you use a special paper like Rendr
What on earth do you do with the gazillion products you receive to review?
She probably gives them away to friends or family or schools.
Yes for some but I keep a lot of current sets because I refer back to them when viewers have question or if I want to compare them to a new product or newer version. Also I freelance for a couple marker companies so I have to ha e all of the products they sell for work.
Aaaah I'm jealous sksksk I can't afford it due to this pandemic :'
