- Who will win the Ultimate Battle of the Supplies, Pencils or Markers? Which side are you on?
Join my LIVE Channel to see my work completed in Real time - / adcartattacklive
Be sure to let us know your thoughts and opinions on today's video, as a lot went in to this one and I tried to be as fair as I could. Hopefully It was informative, educational and fun.
And my first time animating, well...... LOL Hope you liked it.
Team Paper
Team Marker..
Enjoy
Are you -
TEAM Pencil or TEAM Marker?

Regarding that opening Animation, It was the first time I ever tried animating, while I was sick I attempted to learn, I just wanted to show the results :) Would love to do more.
First
Hi, I was with u in the live stream when u drew it
I can’t choose
Team pencil here not really I like both but I have more experience with pencil so team pencil just for choosing but I would choose both if I could
Idk
I like both.. But, hear me out. I think the markers are better if you're doing a cartoon/illustration style piece and I think pencils are better if you're doing realism or any art piece that would benefit from "grit."
The best thing is when you use them together
True
Correcto
I use color pencils, markers, and pens together
Exactly! 👍🏻
Many artists do thid
Both of them look great. ADC. As a coloured pencil artist, I like how the Prismacolours turned out, produced a textured look. While, the pro-markers give a clean. polished look.
I love both for different reasons. I love how more intense you can get with the shadows with the pencils but i also like blending and effects with markers (i use both as an artist). But i have to give it to the pencils which is really hard cause both are great
I’m sure so many others have already commented, but ya. Pencils have a huge learning curve! I’ve just started using them myself a couple months ago. Gamsol or some other mineral spirit is the best, easiest way to blend big pieces vs burnishing.
Super love your channel man! Always put out awesome videos
While I'm better at pencils, I feel that markers are the ultimate option for comic book-style illustrations. You should do this again, but on the ultimate surface for both mediums, Bristol board. Both can be much better blended on bristol board than on sketch paper.
I thought markers would actually smash pencils but wow pencils took the win without a doubt! Turned out amazing!
i want to see, Cheap marker VS Cheap pencils. next basically the cheapest versions of each. amazing vid btw
The texture laid down by the pencils sealed it for me. The markers give such a smooth polished result. But the texture won me over. Great job in both genres.
Avoid pressure to fill in with the color pencil as you will crush the tooth of the paper. Spend more time than more pressure.
Also, always work light to dark. It is way harder to lighten a dark area than darken a light area and as the art progresses how apparently light or dark an area is will change as you fill in other areas.

Glad you chose Prismacolor pencils. I prefer their softness for the way I draw. Some people prefer harder pencils. Not all pencils are the same so try different brands. Also, different papers matter; cold press, hot press, cloth vellum, watercolor paper, all have their time and place.

Oh, and never use the colorless blender. Wax bloom.
I find it amazing how much the colors match. any other time you can always tell that one Red is not like another Red but here it's just amazing how they look like the same company made them so that when an artist uses one or the other, Red is Red, Burgundy is Burgundy, ect.. Even the Skin Tones match. More proof why a lot of artist will use pencils and markers together. The ability to match colors is just fantastic.
I honestly prefer the pencils exactly because of the texture they make. Although I like the vibrancy of the markers so I guess that is why they tend to use them both in the same artwork to combine the best in both. ☺️
I liked your animation too, I think it was funny. Like to see more of it 😉
I was expecting markers to win but the pencil half is so gorgeous and the texture. Definitely makes me more motivated to learn how to use pencils
i think this discussion is more of a personal preference
i love both of them equally and sometimes, a certain piece of art is better done with the right tools.
I illustrate fairy tale books. I like to make a base layer with alcohol markers and then do colored pencils over it because I can get more of a painterly or realistic style with them. I don’t use prismacolor as much anymore though. I love the luminance and lightfast pencils and Polychromos for details, so it can get expensive too.
So that's what you learned animation and stop-motion for. Cool editing every hour of practicing animation and stop-motion was worth it
I love how the drawing came out. I like to color with prismacolor pencils and I have found if he wanted the red to become more vibrant, he should have blended with a pink and then gone over the other parts with a deeper red color. Use your lightest color as the blender. Purple or brown is a great way to add shadows to red.
I love how gritty the pencils look. I think it provides a bit more realism.
Just wow.... I'm an Marker Artist using mainly with Promarkers and used them for a good few years after first watching and becoming a big fan of yours, I have also use prismacolor pencils and did solo art pieces with them as well. Suffice to say I a use both art mediums but lean more to the marker side. In this video i truly thought the win would go to the markers easily, and I definitely have to say... while its a close fight im wrong in my own opinion. The texture, easier access, and bigger popularity of the pencils took the win and I love it. Also I love the beginning animation, it was a new surprise but a good one, I hope you keep making amazing artwork and videos and I hope one day I get to be lucky enough to stand side by side to my idol as a True Professional Artist!
Beginer painter here and I'm Team Pencil. Even without your commentary(which is awesome-performance artist here.) The colorless blender, truely a Lathandrian relic,hehe but like you mentioned.."..raw".."emotional"..."the physically feeling". I guess we humans are tactile creatures at the core. From our very first reach for sustenance on our Mom to the control of our devices, we want to grasp things. The pencils did that for me. Thanks Anthony. (ADCArt vs. Jazza I'm always TeamADCArt) reason being I can "GRASP" your skill with pencils. Lookin forward to another one like this pencil v. Marker battles
I like that drawing Omni-Man from memory results in your personal style coming out more which in turn results in a slightly more anime Omni-Man.
I liked the intro. definitely do more animating.
I'm not a professional, but I do love drawing.
When I was quite young, in my teenage years, I got copic markers for the first time and it was horrible. A very very big disappointment. Maybe I got the wrong paper or it was because I was so used to pencils, that it made me sad to see the bad results I had.
While growing as an hobby artist I learned about Faber Castells polychromos, which amazed me, because of how pigmented they were and how good they were after being scanned.
A few years ago (5years) I finally gave markers a try again. As I have grown, my techniques have grown with me and I watched so many people using them.... So I was way more prepared.
So today I use both and love both. It always depends on what I draw... Sometimes I only use markers like for my sticker advent calendar.
Sometimes I love using pencils, like I do for my pen& paper character portraits, because it looks more natural.
Both are great. And as someone who is really just enjoying drawing as an hobby... It's not about having the best or most expensive material.
It's about the fun and the options you have ;) and I do prefer having options.
That's my experience.
I feel like you should spend some time watching Temi Danso here on TH-cam. She's spectacular. She lays down the color with marker, then adds tons of depth and precision with the pencils. The marker underlayer moves things along much faster than without. I would love to see you give that a try some time and see how you feel about it.
Nice video ! I'm a marker person but i'll have to agree with you on the pencil win , probaly more affordable and if you really invest time and practice into them they can really look smooth and beautiful just as proffesional as markers , i also like the rougher texture you can have with them and therefore the artist has diffrent ways of approaching their artworks
Team Pencils ! They improve your skill and endurance more, looks amazing and also much much much cheaper.. you dont even need expensive prisma colors
For me, I like the pencil side. I find them more approachable since they're generally cheaper for a decent set. I am also someone for whom tactile response is important, and with brush-tips I don't get that feedback. I also have a storage-space issue, and pencils are easier to store. No requirement for blending within a certain period of time, though pencils and markers share the blending issue. Crayolas don't blend as well as Prismacolors due to the leads being harder. So you either go back over and layer (like you're taught to do in art class) or press harder. That all being said, I do like the fact that you use both in conjunction with each other, allowing them to play to their strengths and building a final art piece that is more than what either could do alone. Markers for coverage and pencils for finer detail work. Ultimately, one should choose the right tool for the job, IE what will make the artwork have the look that the artist wants.
I really like the grit of the pencils but the vibrancy of the markers is really attractive. All in all I don’t think it’s one over the other in terms of “being better” but I feel like the style of piece kind of dictates which one to use. Plus, in your hands both are amazing! Just getting into drawing and illustrating and finding this channel is so informational and appreciated❤️
I'm assuming you already know, but I'd like to point out that you can use certain solvents(?) like mineral spirits or alcohol to blend color pencils even quicker for smooth, vibrant results. Supposedly, I've yet to try this haha; but I'm curious to see if it'd have looked better than using the blender. In the very least, it'd have been faster!
Personally, though, I like the smooth, flat finish of markers-they just look so satisfying! But for me, they're the harder medium to use just because of how uncontrollable they are, unlike color pencils where I can go soft and slow. It can be quite unforgiving, which makes it harder to get into. Not to mention how hard small details are!
Great work on both, though! I think they look lovely, it really is just personal preference
If people ask I say I'm a marker artist. Ive been using markers for a really long time and it's only lately I've been incorporating pencils into my work. I've done it here and there before but it's only recently that I started doing it seriously. I still use markers but only as a base, my detail, texture, blends and even my shading and light come directly from my colored pencils and I am absolutely in love with how they come out. If I had the patience for it, I would use Colored Pencils by themselves.
Thank you so much for introducing me to markers and how to work with them. I love drawing been doing it all my life and when I came across Windsor and newton pro and brush markers I wanted to try them and combine color pencils and it made my drawings more outstanding! And I cant pick one side I love drawing in markers and color pencils! But markers for me!
Another great video! That's a tough one. I use waterolor, but just started experimenting with color pencil. I really like color pencil, well pencil work in general. You're right though the more time you spend on your piece with the pencils it gets better and better. Plus to take away some of that graininess, you can use solvents to blend them out. I have not used markers in awhile. Need to go back and try them again.
Wow that surprised me. Being a realism pencil artist that’s my favourite ( though I use Derwent colour soft). I like the both of them together with your comic characters.
I just got out of school and I opened my phone to a new ADC video, also it’s thanksgiving weekend, life couldn’t get better
TEAM PENCIL: I've been using pencils for years in my coloring books and nothing compares to the endless depth they can go, however in more recent years I have been using markers and they are better for quick illustrations. I love them both for different reasons and projects.
Side note: some of the solvents would certainly give the pencil side of the drawing a good kick!
I like the texture of pencils and the lighting came off super natural. But I haven’t looked back once I started using markers
I had to leave another comment but this is one of my favorite episodes you’ve done! Look at that result of the pencils! Once you did the blending that is something you should be immensely proud of! Like you said pencils are nearly limitless in their skill cap! If you take the time to master that medium there’s no limit to what you can do!
My favourite way of blending coloured pencils is with the colourless blender alcohol markers. Isopropyl alcohol is a fantastic solvent for coloured pencils, it breaks down the wax beautifully.
Ive been looking forward to this vid for ages
I really enjoy watching your videos and listening to you talk about the process and the tools. It's very informative and entertaining. I've slowly been working through an art tutorial game on my Nintendo DS, and watching you put the lessons into practice has been so helpful--it makes everything click for me.
Cheers!
The grittiness of the pencils really suit the character's vibe more than the markers but markers give the flexibility of being very smooth. But i really like Pencils
This was amazing, the artwork is incredible
Marker: "Imma snap you like a twig
Pencil: "Well I'm gonna beat you till your ink runs dry"
One thing you can definitely say about pencils over markers. They have a superior colorless blender.
A bit of a cop out, but I have been using both together for a while now. A marker base with pencil details or slight colour
enhancement gets me my best results.
I don’t know why everyone hates the broad nib so much. I use it all the time for big areas and I get no streaks
The marker size probably looks better but there is something about pencil art that just can't be beat in my opinion
I have to say, I'm Team Pencil, and I prefer Prismacolor colored pencils,, but I do enjoy alcohol markers too. They both have advantages depending on what you are doing and what style you're wanting to achieve. Pencils are usually for realism and markers are more for animated projects.
I love that physical connection with the drawing that pencils give. That's why I haven't been able to do digital art, I just don't enjoy it.
when you know how to use markers and pencils the result depends on your skill with them.
One of the big differences is the time it takes with each one, and the difference is big.
I don't know if you've already mentioned it in another video but pencils and markers also work very well together. I usually combine markers with different techniques such as chalk, pencils, gouache, etc.
It's not a matter of a winner. Just use the right tool for the right job. Burnishing color pencils is definitely a chore, but you simply cannot get the same level of definition or texture with markers. Alcohol markers on the other hand are awesome for quick saturation or uniform large areas. So just layer them as you see fit
Markers seems like a great in a very vibrant thing and also make it seems more in a different art style in some sense but coloring pencils shines them out by making it seem more gritty I can't enjoy it makes it feels like a another new artwork I artwork that feels more aggressive or it gives out more of a Vibe of a grit in shade So coloring pencils on my opinion.
I like both of them, they're definitely different styles. The pencils give more of a realistic look, while the markers give it a much more comic-book style, both of which I love!
Who will win? Everybody. You're going to create something awesome with both and we're going to watch you do it in the video.
Edit: They're both really eye appealing in their own way and each can be better than the other depending on what the intended goals/results are. I'm in a long term experimental stage with both and I've found I can love and hate them together equally. Even at that, I've found the biggest problem is with the user. I simply need to learn how to make them work better.
Prismacolor also has their own markers...at least they used to idk if they're gone now. So there's that.
I like using both together.
markers have better color and blends. But pencils have better texture and depth. So its up to you with you like. I like markers more. I like bright colors, and more natural blends.
I love pencils, you did an amazing job with both the pencils and the markers. I have started to use markers with pencil like you do.
I still prefer the pencils, but it is much quicker with markers to complete a picture.
7:56 u said sh*t of paper xD
Beautiful work!👍
I love the grit of the color pencils. So good.
This piece turned out super cool. You definitely made a super pissed looking Omni Man, and it’s fantastic. A lot of people are saying they like the pencils, but me personally I like the markers. I like being able to get smooth coverage and fill in large areas a bit faster. Texture can be super important in some drawings or depending on aesthetics, but I’d rather have that texture on top of a smooth background color so the texture of the paper itself doesn’t really show through like you can’t get around it. Still, awesome piece and both sides look great. I’m hoping to see someone try markers like Crayola markers with a waterbrush for blending, because from my experience I think they can work almost just as well as alcohol markers, but I’m not sure my skill level is good enough to make that comparison
Watched this thrice now I’m tempted to get a pencil set as i miss the medium so much and i haven’t done much art in the last two years. I still have a stockpile of pencils but my prisma set is used up and limited as i have a small range. Treating myself this Christmas
For blending colored pencils I have colored pencil blender that actually comes in a brush pen. 😀 I have to look up the name but I highly recommend. It came in a Sketchbox set with other colored pencils. I love it. ❤️ oh! I FOUND IT. It's the colored pencil blender by Artists Loft for $4.49 USD (for those in the states).
Honestly, despite how much time and patience it takes, I prefer pencils. XD Yes, you can use both markers and pencils together, but considering I can't afford markers, pencils seem a much better option. xD
Siding with pencils in terms of what it can achieve in feel like it’s more versatile than markers i could be wrong but the realism it can achieve of just something else but i guess it’s up to you as an artist on what you want to work with personal use both
Animation at the beginning was super cool! Well done!
I think though that you could get some mineral spirits to blend the pencils and do a rematch 😁
Pencil+marker=adcartattack,you are my favourite artist by the way how is your health
I really love how the markers turned out. But maybe thats because still have to learn to use them properly. I also use both pencils and markers, but i am better with pencils really. And yes pencils take time.
I love the beginning it makes my day! Thanks ADC
I love pencils I’m trying to learn more about shading and blending and really want the 150 count prismacolors set and now those blending pencils they look to make a huge difference rather then using white as my blender
I love your work!
While I love, LOVE both, I really like the feeling pencils give. I also love that you can mix them with your drawings if you like. But both results look amazing!

Mmm, I think its a tie for me
You didn’t add enough blood. This is Omniman. He’s always covered in blood
I love these vs. videos! More please!
You can smooth the line of a pencil with a little bit of Vaseline. That s really make a nice difference. But using both is always amazing.
I like both. And i find it is hard to compair marker with pencils. Maybe a test with solvent? I find the Blender is nice, but it makes the colour bit dull. And it still stays a bit grainy.
Bof look amazing first of all but I straight up love the pencil one the texted of it just makes it pop
I like pencils more…personally. Shading with pencils is very comfortable for me and when i finish it feels great
I love this. I am a major fan of both Prismacolour and Promarkers.
Have you ever used Prismacolour alcohol markers? Would be good to see how they perform against W&N 🤔
The way you described it’s so funny 🤣 and I’m glad you are well ADC 😇
This one is killer. I think pencil wins but very slim margin win. Looks like he’s gonna come right out of the page.
As always, great video man.
For some reason I feel like the pencils have an extra layer of depth and life when compared to the markers, so I kinda like the pencils more
I really like the texture of the pencils
Awesome animation. As for a side? Neither. I think both of them look amazing and it's each to their own.
I like the left for pencils always have a texture look to me while with markers I think it always looks matte until you combine the 2 where you really see how the huge differences make a piece so much bettttttteeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr
Love the animation on this video, also great work as always.
can we take a moment to appreciate the animated intro
My opinion is that alcohol markers and coloured pencils are at their best together. And since coloured pencils blend best with isopropyl alcohol, the colourless alcohol marker blender can blend coloured pencils very well
I am waiting for the next challenge -pencil color vs markers vs digital coloring...Digital color is even quicker but even more removed than markera.
Team markers! Agree with the reasons behind the winner too.
I totally agree with the comment about the ultra fine nibs! Really wish at least one company would produce a marker line with the Japanese brush nib on one end and a ultra-fine tip nib on the other...and it have more than the basic colors, say, a 200+ colors line. I don't think that's asking for too much? :)
Would of like to see the time each side took here. If it's a quarter of the time with marker, then clearly markers. But if not then it's close
I prefer pencils because i like sketching but if you doing a complete peace, than markers win in my opinion ( if using colour)
Pencils I live the textured look
I liked the pencil look better for this piece. I think it depends on what kind of look you're going for, when to use markers or pencils on a type of subject 🤔 👨🎨👍💯
you can also use just a tiny but of odorless mineral spirits on a cotton swab or paint brush to blend the colored pencil which will allow you to put more layers and depth and really smooth blends
TEAM PENCIL!!!!!!!! it is much easier to layer multiple hues and build better tonal structure with pencils. With Markers you will be limited by so many factors: Bleeding , Being limited to the colors you own and finally what i dislike is the disharmony of color temperatures. regardless both mediums are fun and come with their own challenges.
When you can create artwork to this standard.. markers kinda looks like a print out or digital art! where as the pencils look like.. artwork!
