Hi everyone welcome back to my channel
So for today I'm going to be showing you how to color with these chisel tip markers
I have a few different type of markers here to show you
I don't really have any other markers other then these
but I think a lot of chisel tips are probably similar
This video was inspired by a comment that I got recently on my 3 marker challenge video
I just did a 3 marker challenge video using these Copic Original markers
and in that video i also gave a quick review on the Copic Original markers
and I got a comment asking if I could give more tips on how to use chisel tip markers
and instead of just typing it out I thought I would show you up close how I use them
so it would be a bit more helpful
this video might be a little long I'm going to try to keep it short
but if you have these markers maybe grab them out
well any type of chisel tip markers, grab them out, grab a piece of paper and maybe color along with me
Disclaimer though although I have been using alcohol based markers for over 15 years
I will never say I'm an expert and I will never say that I know everything there is to know
I'm just not that type of person
so if you have additional tips that you would like to add on how to use these markers
or if you do a different way
definitely feel free to leave it in the comment section below to help out any body who needs those tips
but please don't be a jerk about it
don't be mean any mean comments will be deleted
because I want this video to be a safe space for any body who wants to learn
so please be nice about it and share the wealth
One of the things I think is great about being an artist on youtube in this digital age
that makes me sound so old to say that (lol)
one of the things that's really great about that is that we can share this knowledge
when I was younger in the 90's when I'm starting out with art supplies
I had no idea how to use a lot of these things and I just had to figure it out myself
or just not use the art supply unless I could find a book on it
I didn't know any artists so there was no way to gain this knowledge
So i think that's one really nice thing about the internet and youtube especially
is that we can all share our knowledge with each other and grow from it
so yeah enough of my sappyness (lol)
so yeah lets get started
these are the 3 different types of markers I'm going to be showing you because they are the only ones I have
I did use Prismacolor back in the late 90's early 00's I think
but I believe they have changed since I used them and I don't have them anymore
and I do think the chisel tip was probably the same
but I do know that the smaller side was more of a pen type size
so I don't know if it's different but hopefully most of these chisel tips are similar
so hopefully this will help you
So I'll just uncap these so you can get a view of what these look like
I am using a Copic original
a Promarker by Winsor and Newton
and I have 2 Copic sketch markers and I'll just mostly be using the chisel side
so you can see that
now the Copic original and the Promarker
the chisel tips look really similar and so do the bullet tips
they also call them fine tips I just tend to call them bullet tips
I don't know why
the chisel tip on the Copic sketch are just a little bit smaller
but they all have the same type of shape to the chisel
so I think it should work out about the same way
So i'm going to be going over a couple ways I like to blend these markers
as well as some tips on how to use them in general and I'll do a little bit of a demonstration as I'm giving the tips
I really hope you will enjoy this video
I'll do my best so lets get started
So the first tip that I would have with these chisel tip markers
is that I like to utilize both sides of the markers
you could actually get all the effects with the chisel tip but I think it's easier to just use both sides equally
when I'm using the brush tip marker I will tend to just use the brush
but I really find it easier especially when your first starting to use both sides with the marker
so don't be afraid to keep flipping them around using them as much as you can
whatever is the easier side to use
Another tip I have would be to use all sides of the chisel tip
so if you can see here the chisel tip has a lot of different grooves and cuts to it
and you can use all of these sides to do a different type of effect
I'll show you the other one
for example when you lay the chisel tip flat on the paper
it'll make a line like this
because the base of the chisel tip here is very flat
you can do lines like this
almost looks like bricks or something
and you can just press it down flat and pull
oops
like this
you get a pretty nice line when you do that
also on this one
just press it down flat
and flat like this
the way that I tend to use the most
lets get this out of the way
is the tip right here
especially when I'm doing a smaller illustration and I want to fill a large area
I will tend to use the tips right here a lot
so I will hold the pen like this
the tip down
when you do this you can get a line like this
it's a very fine area
use small circles to fill in an area and make smooth coloring
like that
there is this way
this kind of line
see if I just use this tip and pull this way
I get this kind of line it's a bit thicker
but if I use the same tip and go this way
I get a thinner line
you can even try to use the back end but it's very uncomfortable to do that
and it'll just give the same type of line
so I tend to use this front tip more
and of course your pressure will also effect
if you put a lot of pressure you can get a thicker line
and if you just gently touch it you'll get a thinner line
it's not a huge difference like you would see with the brush tip
but everything is a still a bit pressure sensitive really depending on how much is your pressure
The biggest tip I can definitely give is do not be afraid to keep moving this chisel tip around
until you find a really useful spot to use
you can even do like, this type of mark
you can put it on the very edge
like this
and get dots
so your angleing it down and your getting it from here
little dots
so there's all kinds of marks you can make with this chisel tip
as long as you are willing to experiment and give it a try
the bullet tip
it's a bit more straight forward
you get dots
you get a line
I really don't know any other way to get a mark from it
maybe on the side you can get a thicker line
but it's more straight forward
so if you are really experienced you could actually make the chisel tip work for you in a lot of different ways
but I still would suggest to use both at first so that you get used to both
and they both have their own unique ability's
before I forget you can also use the bullet tip to do the small circles as well
small circles will work with any type of tip (nib)
it just helps you to get an even coloring
and any type of alcohol marker the quicker you work the better to blend
if the ink is still wet there's a better chance to blend
a good way to blend is to keep going over and over the same area with the 2 colors
until you feel it's vibrant enough and it looks smooth enough
like that
Ok so I'm going to go into blending techniques now
i hope I'm not forgetting anything
I kind of have a little bit of a list of things to say in case I forget something
but you never know what your going to remember right?
So we're going to go on to blending types
so when I use a copic sketch marker with the brush tips
my favorite way to blend is kind of like a flicking motion
so I will put the tip of the marker down and put a little bit of a pressure
it makes a mark kind of like that
and then I will move this way or whatever way you want to move
while lifting up
so I'll put pressure, lift up and move to the side
and you get a mark like this
so if you just build up marks like that
this is especially good when you're doing hair and you want to have a hair shine especially for like anime style
this is the way I love to do hair
and it's also really good if you're blending 2 colors together
sorry I uncapped the wrong side, I do that all the time lol
and again I'm just going to put pressure on the tip
and it's on the side by the way
and I'm going to move this way while slowly lifting up
well not slowly
it makes a nice tapered line
and that's the spot where the 2 colors meet
so the concentration is back here and it's a bit lighter there
and with blending you just want to keep switching between the 2
until it looks nice and smooth where the 2 meet
or however just until your satisfied with the look
with alcohol based markers
if you're blending 2 colors, have them ready in your hand like this
and just use them
both
just have them out ready to go
it just makes it so much easier and you can blend faster
because the faster you move the better because as long as the ink is still wet it will blend better
so that would be how I blend with the brush tip
I find it's still possible to do the same method with a bullet tip or a chisel tip
it just doesn't look as nice where the 2 colors meet
but it's still possible
so I'll show that
I'm going to take this chisel tip marker and I'm going to use the flat end
I'm going to apply the flat end to the paper
getting the kind of brick like line
and I'm going to do the same thing
I'm going to move this way applying pressure and then lifting up
you can see it's not as nice of a taper
and it's more noticeable where the lines meet
the way to get rid of streakiness is to just keep going over it
just keep at it, see it looks so much smoother now
and now I'll do the same thing here
I'm going to apply pressure to the tip on the flat end
move this way while pressing and then lifting up
so all your pressure should be back here and up here it's lighter it's barely touching
and it might take some time to get used to this type of movement
but just keep at it you;ll get there eventually
just don't give up too easily
and just keep going over the 2 sides until you feel it looks really well blended
like that
it also helps if you're using 2 colors that work well together
these 2 colors seem to work pretty well together
I have b05 and bg13
so there's a bit of a difference between the 2 but I think they look nice together
it actually blends pretty good this way
but if I was using 2 colors that don't work as well
you might be noticing the lines here more
so I'm going to do the same thing with the bullet nibs now
I've got these 2
which by the way this is the Promarker in the cobalt blue
and the Rv17 deep magenta Copic original
so the bullet tips
I would do the same thing
I just at the tip put pressure and then lift up
I am sure there's some people who
um well I'm assuming there are some people who are able to do this well
but for me I struggle really hard with using the bullet tip this way
cause I like to do this kind of method for hair
and I've definelty been struggling with this method
I don't think it's going to get any better then that
so you can see it's not as pretty with the bullet tip
but that could be my inexperience
I'm not quiet sure lol
but that is a method for you to see
I would call this the flick blend
I don't know I don't know what other people would call this at all
Another way that I would color with these type of markers
to get a nice looking blend
would actually be to do just a flat color
and then come back over the flat color once its dry with a kind of cell shading look
i would also call it glazing but that's because I've been using way too much watercolor
and I'm not sure what other term to use lol
but I think other people call it cell shading
for an example I'll show something really quick
and by the way to avoid streakiness
I think I've already said this but I'll say it again
Just keep going over the same area as much as you can
you can also try applying in a different direction
and when in doubt just do small circles
that will give you the smoothest coverage
and of course work quickly because alcohol based markers work best
when you color in an area as quickly as possible
so that the ink is still wet and it settles into a nice smooth coloring
So I'll let this dry a little bit its still a little wet
but that would be the flat coloring
and then I would come in on top of it
with another color to indicate shadow
just put something here
and this is what I did a lot in my 3 marker challenge video
in the girls hair i did a lot of just shadow and it kind of works out
if you don't like the color blend
I have very limited colors that's why I'm using these lol
I only have 3 Copic original and about 12 Promarkers
so that's why I'm using kind of odd colors
but you can also go back over the shaded area to help kind of tone it down and blend it a bit
I felt like that line there was a little too obvious so i blended it out
another way you can kind of
give yourself a leg up
especially I like to do this when I'm coloring hair a lot
I will do a flat color
this is getting a little dry
might have to refill this soon
so I'll do a flat color
with the hair espically
like this will work anywhere but I really like to use it for hair
and I might indicate shadow with this same color
or I might highlight the lines that I created for the hair
because
it depends on the color
but some colors when you do this type of line it will dry and still be kind of obvious
so it's a really good way to kind of indicate shadow
or try to test out where you want to put your shadow without committing too much
because with other colors the added color will just kind of disappear
plus it's not super obvious i think if you put
some actual shading in the same spot you might not notice this other color as much
so I guess that would be a little bit of a
a tip for
kind of testing the waters when your not sure where you want to put shadow and light
another thing I really like to do
is I will take the bullet nib
and kind of outline an area I want to fill
a way to get a large area filled without kind of loosing your sanity
because your trying to keep it not streaky
would be to kind of just map out certain areas
like do chunks
this is especially good with hair
you try to look at the way the hair flows and kind of cut one chunk out
so that you can just fill that one area
I know this looks really bad but you kind of get what I'm try to say so lol
I'll use the bullet tip to kind of outline the area
and then I'll come back in with the chisel tip
and again I'm going to be using the tip
because I really like to use the tip the most
which is this spot right here
sorry if that's out of focus or something lol
there we go
had to stand up to make sure that worked
so I will put the tip down on the paper
it makes kind of a mark like that
if you just place it down
and I'll just do small circles
to fill it in
and you'll notice kind of a line between where the bullet tip
had passed by and where the chisel tip is going over so just try to go over that carefully
so it kind of blends out the harsh line
and I'm sure I said this twice now
but with alcohol based markers you just try to work as quickly as you can
because once the ink drys it gets more difficult to smooth out the color
it still might be possible it just gets more difficult
So i'm just doing smooth circles
I actually kind of like when it gives that really uneven look
but you might not like that so
my advice in that situation
if you don't want the uneven look would be to just keep going over it
I might flip it over and I'll use the base
so this part
and fill it in cause it's a lot faster
and I'm again using circles
sometimes you can do streaks too
it's best to do streaking motions if you are moving in the same way that the object would naturally flow
because the streaks might become visible
so try to go in the natural movement
so like
you can
wow I think my markers really dry
Ok I'm going to stop here and refill my marker and I'll be right back
ok I'm back sorry about that
just so, if your new to these markers
don't be afraid they don't dry out so easily I've just been using these pretty heavily
I first got the chisel tip markers about a month ago
and I have been using them constantly in my sketchbook to get used to the tips again
because I have been using the brush tip markers for 10 years exclusively
it's been a really long time since I used the chisel tips so
I had been using them quite a lot in my sketchbook
and I'll actually show you more about that later
but yeah so
that's much better lol
so if you're doing hair you can
if it flows the correct way it also gives kind of a nice effect
cause the streakiness can be used in a good way
in that way
also if you're doing a river or something
just go with the motion of the natural movement of the object and it'll look a lot nicer
so I think now I'll just draw something really quick
and um color it in and give you some tips as I'm going
or like just show you the points that I'm using
and that brings me to another tip for you
I'm going to get some paper
by the way this is just plain cardstock paper
I'll leave a link to it in the description below I bought it from amazon
and it was recommended by a lot of artists on youtube
so I tried it out and i like it
but you can use really anything with these markers
you can use just like sketchbook paper or printer paper
I used printer paper a lot when I was younger
but I find that certain types of thicker paper like bristol board or card stock works a bit better
for example another tip
if you have paper or a type of marker that tends to spread a lot
and by spread I mean
when you put the tip of the marker down on the paper
you might see the ink spread out a little bit
it doesn't do that as much with this paper
but I know it did it really badly with my computer paper
so if you have that issue when you're doing coloring
I would suggest, lets say this is like the black line
I would suggest to like apply it further back a little bit
so I know with my old prismacolor markers
the fine tip used to do that a lot so i would start coloring like back here
and I would let it continue to spread out to fill this gap lol
which was really helpful at the time
so that's another tip for you
my very last tip for you which I'll talk about as I'm sketching something
and it's kind of relevant to this as well
is that when it comes to trying out a new medium
like maybe chisel tip markers or any type of paint really
I think the best advice I can give is that
do not start getting used to a new type of coloring product by forcing yourself to do your best work
like using drawings that are the best you can draw
I think it's better to just do very simple very quick drawings
because it takes off the pressure
it doesn't matter if the drawing looks ugly
you don't have to share the drawing
you don't have to let it see the light of day lol
it doesn't have to be your best work
just something simple just draw something really quick
color in a doodle
you could use coloring book pages, maybe you bought a coloring book
an adult coloring book or a kids coloring book
there's some really cute kids coloring books lol
just anything because you're not practicing drawing you're practicing coloring
so just do something really quick, just so you can get to the coloring part
that's what I found to be the best advice for myself
because there have been times when I was getting used to doing something new
like when I was getting used to watercolors
and I would put so much stress on myself to do this big masterpiece right away with my watercolors
when I didn't have to do that I didn't have to share these drawings
I didn't have to make them amazing I just wanted to try out the watercolors
so it's kind of better to just use doodles
and you won't, kind of, be so disappointed in the results that you feel like burnt out
just focus on just getting something on the paper in order to color it
and you know keep going just keep going
once I'm done with this I will show you my sketchbook that I started
I started using my markers in my sketchbook about a month ago
when I started with these um chisel tip markers
I'm sorry I can't think while I'm sketching lol
and as you can see it's not a perfect sketch
it's not even nice for my standard
it's just a doodle this is the type of thing I would just doddle in my sketchbook
or I would doodle on a piece of paper while I'm on hold on the phone or something like that
so yeah it does not have to be perfect it's just about getting the practice in
and don't put so much pressure on yourself just keep trying with these
when I first started with the chisel tip markers
I was so used to the brush tips that I did not know what I was doing and it felt really awkward
and it was just, it was bad lol
but after about a month of just doing lots of tiny little sketches
and I do mean tiny I would pretty much just do this type of size
like 4 to a paper or 3 to a paper
and it helped out a lot because I would just get used to it
and now I don't feel any weirdness at all using the chisel tip markers
so I think that's good enough for a sketch
I'll just try to make sure that this is in frame
that might be a little difficult to see so I'm going to quickly line it with my
multiliner
I'll just use this it's a thicker line but it'll be quicker
I'm using my Copic cool grey multiliner in 0.3
I usually use a smaller size this is quite large for me
but this will be very quick
and again I'm not trying to be perfect
I just want to get to the coloring
give her little elf ears
of course have fun with it though lol you know?
have fun with it just do what you want just don't put pressure on yourself to make it amazing and
don't worry about showing this later you don't have to show it to anybody
I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself but I think that's kind of important
ok I'm just going to let that dry for a minute or two and then erase and we'll start the coloring
Another tip I can give when using multiliners and Copic or any other type of alcohol based marker
if you ever have a lot of um
bleeding with the pen line, where the pen line just kind of smears into the ink
it's actually pretty good to go over it with a maybe like a rubber eraser like this
or any type of eraser because it can help to pick up any extra ink
and also give it ample time to dry
I like to let my line work sit for at least half an hour and then erase and then start to color
so like I'll do something like this
where I roll it up like a log and just roll it over to make sure any pencil lines and excess ink might be picked up
you don't really see any evidence of it but it's just something that I found to be really helpful
of course if it's not alcohol proof or alcohol marker proof, Copic proof
it's going to smear so lol nothing you can do
in that case except for to try to avoid the lines when you can so
there's still a way to save it if you just kind of try to avoid coloring over the lines
you can also just go straight in with the marker on top of pencil which is what I was doing in my sketchbook
I looked it up and Copic doesn't really suggest you do that
but they also said that it wouldn't really clog the nib but it will discolor the nib
and I'll show you an example
I've discolored this nib pretty badly from just using it over pencil lines
but you know it's kind of fun too
and so far I haven't had any issues with the pencil lines clogging the nibs
so yeah here's my very quick little doodle
and I'm just going to fill it in with my markers here
and try to talk about the way I'm using the marker as I go
in case you're unsure
when it comes to hair
the hair grows out from this area here
so it's good to have it flow, so when your coloring it's good to follow the flow
and also like I said if you want something more smooth and a little bit more easy to deal with
for sanity reasons lol
it's better to like kind of cut off a strand
so like here
I would kind of
cut off this part and I'm using the bullet tip to outline, cause I like to do that
so I'm kind of showing myself I'm going to use this area
this spot here is really small so I'm just going to use the bullet tip
in circle motions
and flicks to fill this in
see if I can get some hair shiny
I find this part difficult but I think it could be possible to do this if you just get used to it
going for super shiny xD
yeah that's not so bad
