my partner is also colour blind so I know all about the lack of names being an issue, he literally held up every single pencil he needed to ask me the colours before using them every single time 🥺
Both those pictures are so GOOD. I like how Steph's is very Steph-core, and Adam's is clearly outside his comfort zone but they both turned out so beautiful!
these markers seem so fun to mess around with! i love how your pieces came out; Steph's feels like a schoolbook illustration and Adam's feels like an album cover
I used to love watching your videos YEARS ago. I watched everything that you uploaded. I just rediscovered your channel and this makes me SO HAPPY! I feel so inspired to take out my sketchbook and just draw without worrying about doing it perfectly and just have fun and experiment instead. Also I hold my breath too when I’m drawing lines😭 Steph was actually the one who inspired me to do little line breaks too, they’re a staple of my art style!
Yay, it’s good to see you using the Arrtx markers I sent you again! I have their 60-count anime set now and it’s amazing! They’re my favorite paint markers ever.
YESSS ty again Tara!! I used these to have a little painting session with some friends a few months ago and it was so fun :D I need to look into what colours are in the anime set!
RULER VIDEO SERIES MENTIONED LETS GOOOO adam is right it's a cursed idea but it's also blessed. the sheer creative power of steph is awe-inspiring those videos are absolutely iconic and delightful and i love them
I absolutely love the fact of every new product yall recieve Stephs love for swatching is so genuine and your support for her and patience is admirable ❤
So satisfying seeing the close up of those markers laying down so smooooth. And aw I love Steph's cute lil mouse friend. And wow once it was lined it looked sooo clean that it almost looks like like it could be digital.
I never thought about how important it would be to have the name on the cap and the actual pen so colourblind people could correctly recap them after using.
I’ve watched you guys since I was 10 or 11, and I’m graduating high school in a few months time. Every now and then I check back in to see if you guys are still drawing together and it always makes me so happy :)
i've been subscribed to you guys since i was 8!! i'm a senior in high school!! glad you're both doing so well and you haven't aged a day lmao lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ooh! An arrtx head to head to head! I also really wish they did colour names as it does make things tricky. I didn't get the simptap as my disability makes my hands the weakest and most painful part of my body so they seemed like a foolish choice. I love it when I get extra tips etc, I wish more markers came with them. It could just be that I'm hard on markers or that my angle I hold them at (due to aforementioned disability) isn't right. These look like they're more opaque than the original markers. I'm very tempted. Love both your pieces. I love how Adam's brings out the beauty and chaos of the ocean and how super cute and cohesive Steph's is.
There is so much vibrant color in the 48 set. Thanks for showing us the comparison of older and newer markers. The best Arttx marker comparison and showing how they start up and function. I did not know they were like Posca because of how the other people showed us the markers. This team showed started up, swatching, and on paper interactive coverage. Saving for these would be much cheaper with more for the amount paid. The Posca was 34 or 35 for just 8 at a time. Except the ones I got on sale this last week below 20 bucks.🤗❤️👍🏽💯
Yep color names and matching swatches are so important to ALL Artists! I have used a permanent marker (Sharpie) and write down the names, even though I am NOT color blind I still want the names! I do enjoy watching and listening t oyou both. I feel you are so kind to one another and we all should be kinder to others especially those whom we truly care for!
I’ve thought about getting paint pens but could never decide what brand, this video definitely helped me make that decision. Both pieces turned out amazing
Adam yours was so colorful I literally had to pause the video bc i was so blown away! idk if its because its so pretty or i was just in shock you did so much color XD lol your flying fish is amazing!!! 💙
Both pieces came out so good!!! Was nice seeing you use them cause ive been eyeing them on amazon ^_^ I really like both of your art styles, they are so different, yet so cute! :D
Been watching you guys since I was a kid (10 I’m now 18 lol) omg these videos are always so good to wind down to. And so inspiring I always wanna immediately draw after I watch even though I’m not an artist lol
Omg I love the winged serpent fish :DD Actually inspired to draw something similar. Also we gotta remember "we have to channel our Bob Ross and be brave" so we can quote it in the future XD
I think the holding breath thing is normal for a lot of activities. I would shoot archery and probably also do the same. The smallest movement of the upper body could send the arrow off course.
love the simptaps but i’m with steph they really hurt my thumb and wrist, i might invest in the new set they seem so optic and pretty!! i struggle with how much you have to shake and pump poscas (and the price). ALSO THE FLOOR OF REFLECTION GIVES US ADAM HAIR!!! :o also i swear most paint pen videos adam draws birds/something with wings!
The replacement nibs are suspicious. HOWEVER, most people seem to live in places that focus on buying new products when something breaks instead of fixing it. So, if the company is being sweet and is giving you a way to fix your old nibs, that is really nice. If the company is giving extra nibs because the nib quality is lacking, then that is sad. I'm down for fixing things when they break instead of buying new. So lets hope the company is in the same mindset.
I don't have tremor hand but even I can't really press SIMPTAP's button that well. But beside that, I think I like it more than the original one. It has better brush nib + it doesn't dry as fast as the original one
Not quite an art question: I like doing picture puzzles in books instead of apps. I'm currently using Staedtler HB pencils, but unless very sharp, it can look really faint. Any recommendations on pencils/grade of pencil that is darker but still erases easily?
Staedtler can be pretty hard and faint, if you can get your hands on something like a 2B from any brand, you'll find those much darker but still easy to erase! I hope this helps 💛💙
I'm not even colourblind and I find the lack of colour names frustrating, like what do they have against them? Most marker brands have both the number + name so I don't know what their excuse is. Aside from that they do have a nice range of shades/colours which I really like. I love how the fish serpent came out, he looks very abstract haha
I feel like they JUST came out with the shrimp tap ones, they must have realized how unfortunate the name was LOL. Seeing multiple of the same products reviewed and compared scratches my OCD... mhmmhhmphhh edit: Steph's eyelliner is so cute in this video omg??? sweet little anime lady!!!!
The price comparison isn't that bad. I always find posca sets too pricey, and even when you come across them on discount, the discount isn't that great. I'd like to try these.
The marker arrangement looks so pretty but the colors don't match that much LOL I wish they did a better job of matching the caps, but its not as pretty when they do
I've only tried Pintor and Posca. And Let me tell you Pintor has nice pastels but their pens gets destroyed easily. Posca has allot of ink but they smell bad So it's nice to see you show some other brands. :)
my partner is also colour blind so I know all about the lack of names being an issue, he literally held up every single pencil he needed to ask me the colours before using them every single time 🥺
Haha awww!! Adamo does the exact same thing!
Both those pictures are so GOOD. I like how Steph's is very Steph-core, and Adam's is clearly outside his comfort zone but they both turned out so beautiful!
AWWW thank you so much peppermint!!
It’s always very wholesome and endearing seeing you two draw together and just having fun. ❤ thank you for the fun video!
😊 thank you, no matter how many years pass, that is what we enjoy
these markers seem so fun to mess around with! i love how your pieces came out; Steph's feels like a schoolbook illustration and Adam's feels like an album cover
Wed recommend trying them out if you're ever able to and thank you so much too! 😭
Your mouse looked so much like a character out of The Busy World of Richard Scarry and the nostalgia hit me so hard! So cute!
AWW Thank you so much Tiasha!
YES! I was going to say the same thing!
I loved Huckle and Lowly! I ask people all the time if they remember them and no one ever does 😭😂
I used to love watching your videos YEARS ago. I watched everything that you uploaded. I just rediscovered your channel and this makes me SO HAPPY! I feel so inspired to take out my sketchbook and just draw without worrying about doing it perfectly and just have fun and experiment instead. Also I hold my breath too when I’m drawing lines😭 Steph was actually the one who inspired me to do little line breaks too, they’re a staple of my art style!
I love that you encourage each other as you draw, I can feel the love through the screen 😊 definitely my favorite to watch
Encouraging eachother and being excited for eachother just makes the process even more fun ❤️✨
Love how differently your pieces came out, they're both so fun! I also love the mic upgrade from fork to snake 😂
Thanks so much! 😊
Although this mic was a little bit more sassy HAHA
I love doodle date time! Your art styles are always fun to see come alive! ❤😊
Thank you so much 😀
Yay, it’s good to see you using the Arrtx markers I sent you again! I have their 60-count anime set now and it’s amazing! They’re my favorite paint markers ever.
YESSS ty again Tara!! I used these to have a little painting session with some friends a few months ago and it was so fun :D I need to look into what colours are in the anime set!
I love seeing your different art styles and your drawings. You are both so talented!
Thank you so much 😀
We honestly had so much fun with these!
I was watching this while coloring in Steps coloring book! I love how Both artworks came out! ❤
Thank you so much!! I really hope youre enjoying the book too, that means the world to me! ❤
RULER VIDEO SERIES MENTIONED LETS GOOOO
adam is right it's a cursed idea but it's also blessed. the sheer creative power of steph is awe-inspiring
those videos are absolutely iconic and delightful and i love them
Thank you so much Pixie! We really appreciate you 💟
I absolutely love the fact of every new product yall recieve Stephs love for swatching is so genuine and your support for her and patience is admirable ❤
Steph loves swatching so much i just gotta support her LOL
I just had to let yall know it makes my heart smile everytime!
So satisfying seeing the close up of those markers laying down so smooooth. And aw I love Steph's cute lil mouse friend. And wow once it was lined it looked sooo clean that it almost looks like like it could be digital.
Thank you so much Shaduf! I can't believe just how silky smooth these are!
I never thought about how important it would be to have the name on the cap and the actual pen so colourblind people could correctly recap them after using.
It happens sometimes! I think naming them is sometimes just an after thought for some companies
I’ve watched you guys since I was 10 or 11, and I’m graduating high school in a few months time. Every now and then I check back in to see if you guys are still drawing together and it always makes me so happy :)
Quality pump action and marvelous swatch action
Love a good swatch, especially when there is 48 TO DO
i've been subscribed to you guys since i was 8!! i'm a senior in high school!! glad you're both doing so well and you haven't aged a day lmao lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
AWW That is so sweet of you!
We both hope that your studies are going well, we're both rooting for you ❤
Always a happy day when DD posts! ❤
Every Sunday! :D
Ooh! An arrtx head to head to head!

Love both your pieces. I love how Adam's brings out the beauty and chaos of the ocean and how super cute and cohesive Steph's is.
It was fun to compare them! I think these might be the best from Arrtx that we have tried so far! ✨
HOLY MOLY! Steph what a lovely illustration!
Lol it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who holds their breath when inking 🤣
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much Pete, it's such a joy to read your comments and we appreciate you so much!
Awh that mouse reminds me so much of Maisy Mouse, such a comfy nostalgic childhood memory haha
It kinda reminds me of Chrysanthemum! I loved those books 💕
Maisy is an OG i love her design so much!! ❤
YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!!! LOVING THIS ART DAY!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH JAIDAAAA ❤
Yess I’ve been seeing these around it’s so cool to see your guys art with them!
It was so much fun getting to try em out, the quality for the price is super reasonable imo!
Mm yes,the sunday dessert,doodledate content.
We got a god tier one for you today too!
@@DoodleDate👍🏻and great acrylic marker art
I think the best thing to come from the ruler series was TECHNO CUBE!!!! 😂
LOL omg that is such a throwback!!
I hope Artex is writing down your experienses and critiques to make the markers more accessible.
Colour names would just be SOOOO helpful with these 😭
Love the characters you both made.
Thank you! ❤️
Steph's work looks like a cute cover of a kid's book about a mouse going back to school in the fall
Awww thank you so much!! 😊
I’ve thought about getting paint pens but could never decide what brand, this video definitely helped me make that decision. Both pieces turned out amazing
You both did so good!
Thank you so much Queen!! 🙏
You two make my little (he)art happy ❤
Oh gosh and sweet comments like this do the same to us!! 😭
“We don’t compete in the artist world” ❤
Adam yours was so colorful I literally had to pause the video bc i was so blown away! idk if its because its so pretty or i was just in shock you did so much color XD lol your flying fish is amazing!!! 💙
LOL thank you so much! Im trying to be more brave with colours this summer! :D
Love your videos. Thank you for beeing you. You are my inspiration. You make my day❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome!!
The mouse Steph drew reminds me of the strawberry mouse from „Tom und das Erdbeermarmeladebrot mit Honig“. Cute!
Oh wow I gotta go check this out!! 😮
So classic doodle date 💛💙
Thank you so much Siera!! 💛💙
i love your videos!! they make me so happy ☺️☺️ i always look forward to your videos!
Thank you Abby! That means the world to us!! ❤️
Arrtx markers are super fun! I have a set of their brush ones. i should go and dig them out.
Go for it! We honestly had an amazing time with these ones
Both pieces came out so good!!! Was nice seeing you use them cause ive been eyeing them on amazon ^_^
I really like both of your art styles, they are so different, yet so cute! :D
Thank you so much 😊
just in time for my lunch!!! thanks guys
Hope you enjoy!
I am obsessed with this mouse 😊❤
Those colors 😚👌 Paint markers intimidate me. I know myself, Ill smudge them immediately. 😅😅
Gotta make sure they dry because these WILL smear everywhere HAHA
Top row of swatches, a platypus? perry the Platypus!
This is so great, I just saw these and was so curious as to how good they work, especially compared to other, pricier brands
I think that they really do hold up to other, more expensive brands! I hope this came through in the video too 😊
Been watching you guys since I was a kid (10 I’m now 18 lol) omg these videos are always so good to wind down to. And so inspiring I always wanna immediately draw after I watch even though I’m not an artist lol
Thank you so much for your support over the years! It's because of kind people like you that we're able to make videos to this day 😊
i do digital art which is incredibly forgiving and even i hold my breath when doing delicate lines
Omg I love the winged serpent fish :DD Actually inspired to draw something similar. Also we gotta remember "we have to channel our Bob Ross and be brave" so we can quote it in the future XD
YESSS I hope you enjoy creating one as much as i did! Be like Bob and be brave LOL
@@DoodleDate Hahaha thank you!!
I think the holding breath thing is normal for a lot of activities. I would shoot archery and probably also do the same. The smallest movement of the upper body could send the arrow off course.
I've noticed I do it when applying eyeliner, but I guess it makes sense you want to be careful when pointing something near your eyeball haha!
Such nice quality ❣️
We totally agree! ❤️
love the simptaps but i’m with steph they really hurt my thumb and wrist, i might invest in the new set they seem so optic and pretty!! i struggle with how much you have to shake and pump poscas (and the price). ALSO THE FLOOR OF REFLECTION GIVES US ADAM HAIR!!! :o also i swear most paint pen videos adam draws birds/something with wings!
HAHA OMG YOU'RE RIGHT, why does he paint animals so much 🤔🤔🤔
The replacement nibs are suspicious. HOWEVER, most people seem to live in places that focus on buying new products when something breaks instead of fixing it.

I'm down for fixing things when they break instead of buying new. So lets hope the company is in the same mindset.
True!! I think this was a nice gesture because after using them, the nibs were still holding up just fine for us ❤️

@@DoodleDate thank you so much! I will look out for some next time I'm shopping
Ahh, i love when you explore something new=3 Thank you for my weekly cosiness dose.=3Huggign you tightly!
You're so welcome! 🤗

I love how the fish serpent came out, he looks very abstract haha
EXACTLY!!
I just wish they gave some kind of indication, it would help SO much...
Even if its just Blue, Dark Blue, Orange etc LOL
I feel like they JUST came out with the shrimp tap ones, they must have realized how unfortunate the name was LOL. Seeing multiple of the same products reviewed and compared scratches my OCD... mhmmhhmphhh
edit: Steph's eyelliner is so cute in this video omg??? sweet little anime lady!!!!
It's true! These do seem like mere months apart?? Though the brush tips are different at least LOL
The price comparison isn't that bad. I always find posca sets too pricey, and even when you come across them on discount, the discount isn't that great. I'd like to try these.
I agree, posca have sort of become the go to brand and I think the price reflects it, but these honestly give them a good run for their money!
I either hold my breath or raising my eyebrows when I draw. I have no idea why I get so tense when I focus XD
HAHA that's just you getting into the art zone, crows!
@ Hello🤗🎨I hope you are having a great weekend and staying 🆒 and hydrated.
Thank you! You too Erika! ❤
The marker arrangement looks so pretty but the colors don't match that much LOL I wish they did a better job of matching the caps, but its not as pretty when they do
that note about reference comin creeping back..
I too control my breathing due to tremor!
INKY TREMORERS UNITE
Fun! =)
Thank you! :D
I've only tried Pintor and Posca. And Let me tell you Pintor has nice pastels but their pens gets destroyed easily.
Posca has allot of ink but they smell bad
So it's nice to see you show some other brands. :)
Oh if we find a bargain we're totally gonna let you guys know about it!! LOL
Shoulda put a warning for EXTREME PUMPING ._.
We advise to never excessively pump ⛽
I like a nib. I don’t want a brush end on an acrylic pen.
They have their pros for sure!
Nice
Woooooo!!
It's great to see you Colzoooo!
I’m impressed with the fact that the paper isn’t getting all chewed up with these markers!
the first line of swatches is so sexy
We take swatching very seriously around here
Damn why do these look as if they work better than posca? I love posca pens but mine clog so easily 😔
They work so quickly and are so smooooth!
Lol i also use artgecko books
