My first time trying out Ohuhu markers

Experimenting with various drawing tools, I recently got a set of Ohuhu markers after watching the epic video by Jazza comparing alcohol markers available on the market.

I decided to go with Oahu markers, which are alcohol-based, with fine and chisel tips. The set comes with 40 markers, a colorless blender, and a pouch.

When it comes to mimicking the actual colors, the marker caps can be quite deceptive. To help you understand how the markers look on paper, there is a sheet included on which you can add the colors. I found it very useful and refer to it whenever I use the markers.

I was particularly interested in the blending propertiesof the markers. As you can see on the rihgt, I prefer the effect of blending without the blender a bit more, but it might work better with lighter colors.

There was nothing else to do but test the markers by coloring a picture. And here's a word of caution: the markers will bleed severely. The manufacturer anticipated this and includes a protective pad in the set to keep the markers from bleeding through pages, but keep in mind that the next page will be soaked in ink and useless, especially if you blend a lot.

The blending effect is definitely an exciting feature of these markers that I haven't seen before with regular water-based markers. I still have a lot to learn about shading, but the results are impressive. The variety of colors is also a plus, and something different from the 10-marker sets I remember from my childhood. Although I went with a smaller set, there is many colors to choose from and Ohuhu has much larger sets. The chisel tip greatly simplifies coloring large surfaces. With the coloring completed, I'll let you reach your own conclusions.
