You truly spark my creativity I’ve had a set of arteza fine liners for over 5 years used them for my planners and now I can try this!!! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nikkia! Oh, that’s wonderful. I’ve actually heard that those are some good fine liners so glad that you will try it out and hopefully it will help especially with the dark colors in the shading! Thank you so much for watching. I’m so happy you like the video! And happy coloring !
Lost Ocean will always be my favorite coloring book & I colored the cover entirely with my fine liners. I love them & added several sets of the Languo fineliners after seeing your video. I do shadow however it's was nice to see you do dots in areas. Thanks Maia!
Hi Cheryl! Oh wow last ocean is your favorite coloring book? That is so cool wow I bet the cover looks fantastic! So glad you like the video. Thank you so much for watching in taking the time to leave me a comment. Happy coloring to you my friend.
Life Changing!!!!! Thank you Maia!!! Loved this video, so helpful, started right away and it was so much fun!! So easy too! Johanna B books have been a challenge for me for ever! I started using fine liners and amazing!!! You rock!!! Even my 20 year old tombows got involved!!!!
wonderful video! I love the staedtler double ended pens with the fine and larger nib also for the fine details in the George Toufexis color by number books! ps I would absolutely LOVE a video on tips for coloring when your wrist or hands hurt. I'm not getting any younger, and I know this will help me as time goes on!! especially with arthritis.
Thank you so much for this genius content - I've just pulled my fineliners out of hibernation! Some of Johanna Basford's books have such tiny details and this idea will be perfect. I'm currently colouring some lemons and now I know how to add the little 'dimples' on them. You have a new subscriber.
Hi Pauline, how wonderful I’m so happy to hear the video. It’s helpful! Glad you found my channel and welcome. I hope you enjoy my other videos and as always happy coloring to you.
Being new to coloring I never thought of using the fine liners in this way. Thank you for the tips. One more tool I can add to my coloring. I also just watched your other video on the evacuation and am glad you are safe. ❤️🇨🇦
Hi Joyce, welcome to the world of coloring. I’m so happy for you. It’s a wonderful hobby! So happy you found the video helpful and thank you so much for the well wishes. I actually drove home today and my house is just fine thank goodness ! take care and happy coloring.
I love all the different videos that you do! See you next Friday :) PS for fineliners, if you use a water brush, you can delicately blend it into the coloring pencil. That way it’s a smoother gradient.
Hi dear yes that’s a wonderful tip , I will definitely try that sometime. I do use pencil after I use the Fineliners many times to make a smoother gradient, but I just use the fineliners for that dark part if that makes sense, . so glad you will come back for future videos, but that is an older video that I just never uploaded and so now I upload on Saturday mornings, so come back Saturday lol happy coloring to you my friend
Gosh, I love the way you color. I think a good phrase for you would be depth of field cause that’s what is happening when you use your fire liners you bring a different dimension to your page.❤
Oh thank you so much. Yes maybe that’s a good phrase to use. I am not the most verbal person so sometimes it’s difficult to find the right words lol luckily you guys are awesome and usually get what I’m saying ha ha anyway thank you so much for watching. I’m so happy you like the video and happy coloring to you.
Thank you for this video! I have a set of fineliners that I have had for a couple of years now and I rarely reach for them. I will definitely be using them more now!🥰
I use waterbased markers all the time in my coloring books but i dont own any fineliners. Now I've seen your video I have to try this 😁 if I can replace my pencils by another medium, I definitly will. Thank you for sharing, Maia.
, Hi my friend so nice to hear from you again please remind me of your first name I love your channel! Ya all you need is some dark colors honestly so maybe try some darks for the really dark shading and to see if you like them. , ! So glad you like the video and found it helpful and interesting! Happy coloring to you
I've had so many fineliners just sitting around going unused except for the fancy ones that I use in my art journal, because I couldn't figure out a way to integrate them into my coloring. But I didn't want to give them away, either, "just in case," which is why my space looks the way it does lol. But the just in case day hr finally arrived hahaha. Thank you so much for this video this is a huge help to me. I can finally crash my stash.😊
Lol crash my stash I love that!! so happy you found the video helpful! Happy coloring to you! By the way, I also love using fineliners in my journals totally
While the ink is wet, you can pull it up with the dark coloured pencil to blend it out, too. It takes time, but I like the results. Thanks for the video.
Hi Erica, thank you so much for stopping by. I’m so glad you like the video. Yeah we always forget about those darn fineliners lol happy coloring to you !
Thanks Maia, this is awesome! I have such a hard time with those small areas and sometimes I don't color a page I want to because of those small areas. You are always an inspiration. tfs
Hi Pat, thank you so so much. I really appreciate that and I’m so happy that you liked the video and found it helpful! Happy coloring to my French and happy creating of course.
Thank you so much dear Maia🥰, your tips are fantastic!! From now on I will do just that and use these fineliners. They definitely make coloring easier because I really don't want to have to sharpen my pencils all the time, because that's a waste, especially with more expensive pencils... Maia you are Amazing 🥰😘💫❤️💫
Well, thank you so much for your wonderful wonderful comments! You totally made my day and made me so happy! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. I found it helpful happy coloring to you, my dear friend.
Hi Dawn! Oh, yes, you can absolutely use the thin langau gel pens! as well for this technique especially with the dark colors. Absolutely! Happy coloring to you.
I agree with everyone else here, what a way to use a supply of mine that just sits. Do you use them in your double sided pages as well? Wonderful video!
Hi dear, yes I do use them in my double sided books, Absolutely ! they do not bleed through unless you’re doing a lot of it very heavy and going over the same line a couple times.
Maia, I hope you and your family are safe from the fires in LA, I have been watching the news and it's just the most horrific thing. Loved the video❤xoxo
Hi Jen, thank you so much for reaching out. Yes it is very very scary but luckily I am safe and my family is safe and I actually made a quick video update about my experience. Hope you have a wonderful day my dear XOXO.
When I try to use fine liners over my pencils it clogs the fine liner up. I only do it sometimes now and I thoroughly scribble with the pen after to be sure there isn’t any wax or oil left to dry and cause permanent damage. I’ve started laying down my markers and fine liners and then I use the pencils over that. Love your coloring!
Hi, thank you for your video, very lovely tips. I have a question, I tried using it after I colored my page with colored pencils, but the fineliners clogged a lot, especially if I use Prismacolor. How do you prevent it from clogging? Thanks so much
I don’t use it much on top of pencils, i use them mostly on top of waterbased markers and watercolors, i probably wouldn’t use on any waxy medium such as prismacolor
Love this Maia! Every time I try it though the ink doesn’t stick to the pencil (or lay down on it at all) or I end up with skips where it does and doesn’t lay down on the pencil. I don’t have the Staedtler fineliners though. Do they stick or lay down onto pencil (even waxy Prismas) better than others? When the areas aren’t too small I can use my Pitt pens and Staedtler pigment arts pens - they almost always work on top of pencil, neos, etc. but they aren’t near as fine as a fineliner.
Try doing it before you use pencil and then use pencil on top to make a nice smoother gradient but yes, I do use it on top of pencil and I usually have no problems. I think the Staedler are very good quality but before you go out and buy anything new, try using it before pencil.
I haven’t had any problems in my double sided boks with these particular fineliners the steadler ones, but I imagine it depends on the paper as well and the fine liner but yeah, I haven’t had any problems with bleedthrough
Wow. This is a game changer. I have a set of 36 of the Staedtler fine liners, and I have the full Arteza Iconic set. I am definitely going to try this. Using the little dots on the water and sky really brought your pages to life. Thanks, Maia.
Oh yes, that is one of my favorite books and it’s one of my favorite illustrators. If you follow her on Instagram, you will be amazed at her work. She is incredible. She also has another book called dreamland, which is absolutely beautiful.
You truly spark my creativity I’ve had a set of arteza fine liners for over 5 years used them for my planners and now I can try this!!! Thanks for sharing.
