Brush VS. Chisel/Bullet Alcohol Markers- Let's Draw a Beetle Sketchbook Sunday



Let's talk about markers! Alcohol markers are a favorite of cardmakers, stampers, artists, and illustrators and the choices available are overwhelming. I will be using Bianyo brand markers and marker paper today. They make high-quality affordable supplies and I thank them for sponsoring this video. Check out their supplies here:

Brush markers have flexible tips for more nuanced strokes and color control so you can get more line and color variation per marker. Most brush markers have a chisel tip at the other end (like Bianyo) but some brands offer a bullet tip. The downside to brush markers is the price as the brush nibs are more expensive to produce, Bianyo is running some good deals currently bring the price per marker under $1 in sets.

Chisel/bullet tip markers are another option. They contain the same ink as their brush counterparts but you often need more shades of a color to get good blending as you can't vary the pressure on the hard tips. These markers take more practice but you can get the same results. The big plus is the price at around .50 cents a marker in sets.
