excellent tutorial.it was fun to watch you ask "what if?" and then experiment and find the answer. it was super helpful to hear your thoughts and why you decided to do something! i am looking forward to future videos. i usually catch the replays of live streams but if i am awake in time i be watching! thanks for taking the time to share youself and your process. :)
I figured out how to turn on notifications so I won't miss out the next time you do a live stream. I'm so excited to try these. You are so inspiring. As always love your artwork :)
Very cool, I hope I get a chance to see one live sometime, you think you'll ever do one in the morning/ early afternoon? I have been planning on starting live streams in the next few months also. Do you have any tutorials to recommend on getting setup to live stream?
Neat! I wonder how color shapers would work with the markers. I'm also curious since these worked so well for you on yupo how they would perform on frosted mylar since I use it to mount on mdf board to paint on..
Nice work Lisa! I have always commented that Yupo is the best with these markers on a few of pigment marker videos - certainly came out top in the tests I have done. It beats the very thin pigment marker paper hands down imho. You can blend easier, you just have to be careful not to rest your hand on the paper where pigment has already been put down as it is easily disturbed and takes longer to dry on Yupo.
Very cool. I was excited to see you do a frog. The Red Eye is a cool frog I hope you look at the Dart Frogs if you want to do really cool frogs with amazing colors. Azureus, Bumble Bee, Highland Bronze, etc. are amazing little animals with incredible colors. Thanks for this. I love your work.
Lisa, can you specify which Yupo paper? When I googled it there are several types. Jjust mention the color on the front cover of the Yupo paper - so far I have seen blue, purple, orange or green
So, is there a difference between these and watercolor markers? Sorry if you mentioned it in the video, but I didn't want to have to sift through an hour and a half to find out. I know you mentioned you thought ethanol was the base, but even so, it still seems to reactivate with water similar to how their watercolor line of markers does.
Hey Lisa, i just saw this video and i am really amazed. I own a set of 72 japanese copic markers (.Too), which are also alcohol based and always used there paper too. Is the paper you use like a photopaper? I mean why is it possible to mix the colours with your finger?
The reason these blend like this is a combination of the type of marker (pigment vs dye) and the type of paper. The ink sets on top of the paper instead of soaking in. These markers do not work well on other types of paper, and alcohol (dye) based markers don't work great on the Yupo paper. They don't have great color saturation on it. The Yupo paper combined with these pigment markers is a perfect combo though :)
I bought the 36-set of these on Black Friday 2017... They were RRP £150, Amazon sold them for £100, and for Black Friday they were £50!!! 😨😍 Who WOULD resist that deal?! 😜👍
These markers look so fun! Unfortunately, I'm a student ( an art high school student, small note) so I don't have the time or money to buy and try out lots of art supplies. Your work is amazing - realistic in texture, but very magical and almost too pretty and colorful looking at the same time. I which there were more people like that. Most youtubers OR draw very cartoonish or just draw basic based on reference pictures portraits/wildlife all the time. The first isn't my thing, the second is kind of boring (even though the technical part is often amazing) While my style is, well...Realistic in texture, or at least wannabe realistic, and not-realistic in subject. Or that's what I want it to be. Like said already, i'm just a student, and kind of searching. Edit: A small question, by the way: I often see you doing a huge background first, where the initial sketch disappears under the background and is often partly coloured too. Then you start with the detailed part of the drawing and....BAM it's white again. Not a single drop of color that's part of the background where you need to color. How do you do this?
I know I was saying the ones you are using in the video are cheaper and are actually light fast unlike copics. I don't think people should be buying copics unless they are digital artists who are always going to scan their work.
Yeah, worst camera ever! Also, the angle makes me look like my body size doesn't fit my head size haha. Should be all fixed next week! Turns out there was a surgery for that! ...well actually just a better webcam :P
Awesome! Love the frog and the markers!
I love that you experiment when you do art, you are very inspiring! Thanks so much for the awesome videos! Super helpful.
Didn't watch live, but I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love your attitude and wanted to "squee" with you! I will be looking to get some of these markers!
I loved watching this come to life, it came out great ^^ Hope to see you try more marker art in the future :)
Being on the other side of earth, I also missed this...awww. But I love the markers already and hope I can get it soon. Thx for sharing

wow this is the first time I see someone on TH-cam use a paint brush with these markers. amazing work!
Thanks :D

How did you turn on notifications?
+Linda Phillabaum in the ios app there is a bell next to the channel title
You answered my question right after I asked it. Thanks for sharing your art and techniques!
You are so real..........I love it :) Love your art too :)
Wow that was amazing! I want these now!
Very cool, I hope I get a chance to see one live sometime, you think you'll ever do one in the morning/ early afternoon?
I have been planning on starting live streams in the next few months also. Do you have any tutorials to recommend on getting setup to live stream?
no worry, you did great. keep up the heart work 🙌
Hey, if these require a smoothe, slick surface, have you considered using them over the Liquitex pouring medium?
Neat! I wonder how color shapers would work with the markers. I'm also curious since these worked so well for you on yupo how they would perform on frosted mylar since I use it to mount on mdf board to paint on..

Good tip about not resting your hand on the paper! I ran into that problem on my first test with these :D
Very cool. I was excited to see you do a frog. The Red Eye is a cool frog I hope you look at the Dart Frogs if you want to do really cool frogs with amazing colors. Azureus, Bumble Bee, Highland Bronze, etc. are amazing little animals with incredible colors. Thanks for this. I love your work.
I have to try these, now 3.00 a marker yay..
Great live show Lisa! 😆 The frog came out great. I am available to mod every evening. 😉
Thanks! I would have made you one if I could have remembered how to do it. I will be ready next time!
Lachri Fine Art lol I'll be ready too! :)
Lisa, can you specify which Yupo paper? When I googled it there are several types. Jjust mention the color on the front cover of the Yupo paper - so far I have seen blue, purple, orange or green
Bonny Anderson You are doing supperb. To Activate the fine end of green, just push up and down a few times til the paint pigment will com.
Great live stream, was wondering can you use colored pencils
are you able to draw the outlines of the drawing first in pencil?😊
you were awesome as usual...hugz..
So, is there a difference between these and watercolor markers? Sorry if you mentioned it in the video, but I didn't want to have to sift through an hour and a half to find out. I know you mentioned you thought ethanol was the base, but even so, it still seems to reactivate with water similar to how their watercolor line of markers does.
Water markers leave streaks and don't blend well. I wouldn't recommend using them for any art projects.
Hey Lisa, i just saw this video and i am really amazed. I own a set of 72 japanese copic markers (.Too), which are also alcohol based and always used there paper too. Is the paper you use like a photopaper? I mean why is it possible to mix the colours with your finger?

this is such a cute frog and reference :D any idea if this is royalty free ?
Wich other Supplies are work wery well with this Pigment Marker?
How much are they compared to copic and do they work compared to them as well?
not to let your artwork intimidate you. just play with it---> I love what u said.
do you use any thinner on the paintbrush when blending?
No, she just uses water.
what is initial expense? set of markers and paper?
What is a pigment marker compared to some other marker, signed John dvorak
I did a draw of the same frog specie "poison frog tree" but different pose, using colored pencils and wet pastels for the background
I always miss the livestreams :(
could you please place the name of the paper and it weight thank you
Done :D
whats your opinion of copics
I bought the 36-set of these on Black Friday 2017... They were RRP £150, Amazon sold them for £100, and for Black Friday they were £50!!! 😨😍 Who WOULD resist that deal?! 😜👍

do you ever do digital art?
She does, it's on her website
i watched this, and was so happy when said say my name
lol :D
prismacolor is archival ink and they are lightfast :D fyi
in the thumbnail I thought those were cigarettes. XD
Your left handed?
in all this time id never noticed hahaha
the camera is flipped look at first few minutes.
These are so much cheaper than copics and lightfast to boot I don't why people bother with copics.
because they blend better and are water proof ,they last just as long,have more colors
and they come in multiple forms, and are refillablr
Copics are not lightfast. :)
I know I was saying the ones you are using in the video are cheaper and are actually light fast unlike copics. I don't think people should be buying copics unless they are digital artists who are always going to scan their work.
Jane Doe or prople who donintend to sell art and love quality
I watched live
Thanks! It was fun hanging out with everyone!
😁
for a second there I thought you went bald :'D
Yeah, worst camera ever! Also, the angle makes me look like my body size doesn't fit my head size haha. Should be all fixed next week! Turns out there was a surgery for that! ...well actually just a better webcam :P
it would be cool to see you do a self portrait
recently I realize that you are left-handed !! XD
She isn't left handed, the web cam probably flipped the footage :D
If you look at her other videos, you can see that she uses her right hand.
