fire and ice!

i used whiteout pen on this too!! (for the first time!)

(and i gave edgeworth a slight outfit change... oh well)

this took me a while! I hope you like it!

[inesmyuu]

I bought the 320 set of Ohuhu markers (brush tip). I already had a few promarkers and some others.

Want to get used to markers and using them more. And also use it with colored pencils (i used it already when doing mostly colored pencil, but still need to do some where its mostly markers with a bot of pencils)

Hello sensei i request guidance

I have recently been reminded on my packet of ohuhu markers i bought a while back. Funny thing though,

I dont know how to use them (never used markers before let alone the alcohol ones or whatever the ones i got are)

Your use of markers is majestic, if i may ask, can you bestow upon me divine wisdom and show me where to start so i can learn please? Theres a lot of stuff online and its incapacitating me

Thank you for your time O great one!

*strokes fake beard* ah yes. my divine wisdom which i most certainly have and not my haphazard "winging it" XD

in all seriousness I'm really also still pretty new to markers;;;; So I wouldn't say I'm great at them yet ahdhhedjjd. I can only give a few points of advice:

1. Paper - I'd argue this is the most important part bc 70% of the art quality WILL be based on how well your paper takes ink. The papers I use are either Ohuhu's own marker sketchbook or watercolor/mixed media paper (about 200 gsm).

I would recommend the marker paper since it's actually specialized for markers and makes the color pop more. Watercolor paper also works, but it makes the colors look a lil duller. In my experience, it's blending markers on watercolor paper dries slower, which makes it easier to blend smoothly/with less streaks. I heard it also sucks up your marker ink more, but I haven't been using markers long enough to know.

2. Blending - There should be a colorless alcohol-only marker in ur set. You use that for blending (mostly). Lay down the colorless "ink" first, AND THEN draw over it with the colors you want to blend--while the alcohol is still wet ofc.

This is difficult to explain without visuals--but, I also tend to use the lighter/fainter colors as a "blending color" also. Blending colors in the same hue or are analogous is easier. Mostly. Meanwhile I had to fight for my life trying to blend orange with blue or even just a cooler gray without looking muddy.

3. Bleeding - THESE THINGS LOVE TO BLEED FR. On both marker paper and watercolor paper, I always have to compensate for how much the ink bleeds/feathers once it actually touches the paper, especially when you're using brush tip markers. I hate it ✨

Also if Ohuhu includes this plastic? film? thingy with their markers iirc. You put that on the back of the paper you're drawing on to catch any ink that bleeding through the page.

4. swatch your markers - imo markers are WAY more rigid in terms of color and blending. Yet frustatingly, they also can look very different when wet vs. when dry. SO! it helps alot to make swatches of your markers so you can get a consistent idea of what they'll actually look like.

5. Use colored pencils instead of markers for drawing details - After doing the broad colors with marker, I like to go back in with colored pencils to add detail and for some color correction. I can't do details in marker. I'm not powerful enough for that hfhrhehe

6. Ohuhu's marker caps DON'T match the color they are. It's dumb and another reason why you should make swatches fhhdjej

Aside from that I don't think I have much else. The rest of my knowledge comes from watching other artists' tutorials:

in summary: i have no idea what im doing 👍 hope this helps! ✨

Ohuhu Honolulu Flow Chart

After the recent discovery of Ohuhu's own attempt to put every Honolulu set on an "easy to understand" diagram, I finally took action on this idea I've had for a while now to make more of a flow-chart to try and accomplish the same thing.

Ohuhu tried their best, but the bottom portion of their diagram is super misleading. But then, to be fair, the whole reason I went with a flow-chart with text instead of an image-only diagram is because I'm not sure there is a way to do this that makes sense without all that extra text.

Link to view the chart Online instead of as a flat image. (It does not update in real-time so I'll have to do it manually, but whatever.) But the real benefit is that all of the sets listed on the chart should be clickable links when viewed this way so you can more easily double-check either what you have or what you're looking for. (I did leave a couple of links out on purpose—usually because just 1 link wouldn't cut it for some reason—but any that were left out accidentally, I promise I will 100% figure it out after posting this and add those as soon as possible.)

I tried to include all the necessary notes/information right there on the chart, but you're familiar with this sub and my comments, you'll know it's very possible some things aren't as clear as they could be, and that's why (as implied by the title) I'm posing this here and now—The only way for me to properly test if everything makes sense is for other people to actually attempt to use this chart!

At this point, I'm too familiar with the sets and the unique complications many of them have to be able to fairly judge if this makes sense to someone that hasn't spent hours investigating the sets and making spreadsheets! So it's up to you Sparklers to find holes in the logic or layout that didn't occur to me!

This flow chart was originally posted on Reddit and since been edited per Reddit comment suggestions before back-posting to Tumblr.

Happy HxH BigBang 2024, everyone!

I had the absolute pleasure of creating these two art pieces for the wonderful @clood's Leopika fanfiction - "right number" !

Art media and tools used: For Leorio's piece: -> Alcohol markers (Ohuhu Honolulu) -> Black ink pen (Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens) For Kurapika's piece: -> Watercolor paint (Royal Talens: Van Gogh - 24 half pans set) -> Watercolor paper (Van Beek - 300 g/m², 140 lb) -> Colored pencils, oil-based (Faber Castell Polychromos)

Keep reading if you're interested in detail photos and/ or if you're interested in me rambling about my thoughts and ideas while creating these pieces. :)

I may have gotten a little bit artsy with this project.

While thinking about what kind of general feeling I wanted to convey, I came up with this idea of making a sort of three-dimensional art piece, that you would look INTO.

I wanted the feeling to be like: 'These two people live in two different worlds - each in their own box'. As an outside viewer, you'd literally get a glimpse into their little worlds.

Going from that idea, I wanted to make them both contrast very strongly.

Leorio's piece, I wanted to make very moody: - dark, warm colors - strong shadows - pop-art style - alcohol markers as an art medium

Kurapika's piece, in contrast, I wanted to be very calm: - light, cool colors - soft art-style - translucent watercolor paints as a medium

The sweet @ayellowapple really encouraged me with my idea. Thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate it a lot ♥️

But also, I am SO relieved it all worked out.

A huge thank you to all participants for making this whole event so exciting and fun. As well as, of course, to the amazing mods @hxhbigbang24 who really keep putting their souls into the making of this!!

I am so happy I got to be part of everything! ♥️

Helluva Boss screenshot redraw!! I used Ohuhu Honolulu alcohol markers and Prismacolour coloured pencils to colour this in :D

[gammaghoul]

I got some new alcohol markers for Christmas and felt like drawing my favorite Warframe #girlboss, Loid :)) I can't stop replaying that cunty tiktok audio in my head, send help.

In other news, Ohuhu's Honolulu markers kick ass. Absolute Copic killer, they are dead to me. Great quality for a fraction of the price, and their color range is HUGE!

And yes, Luke's "blanket" is in fact Vader's cape. Love that trope!

Used Ohuhu Honolulu and Copic Sketch alcohol markers after outlining in black ink, plus Derwent Inktense blocks for the walls and floor. I like using alcohol markers, although the colors are more intense than I would prefer. Currently only have limited colors to work with, so I'm looking forward to getting some subtler shades and earth tones!

Am incredibly pleased with how the kids turned out, especially since I sketched them out late at night and without references. Turned out much better than expected.

My sister has started to dabble in art a bit, mainly painting and coloring books, which is cool and all. A bit ago I let her borrow my paint markers, trying to be nice, and of course I get them back and a good few are dried up. Not a huge deal, they weren't that expensive and I really don't use them much. But now I feel like I opened up something I shouldn't have, because now she keeps asking to use my shit, stuff that I truthfully don't want to share.

Our other sister bought her the Honolulu Ohuhu markers for Christmas, but it's just a 48 pack, and if you know anything about alcohol markers, you know that's a pretty limited color selection. So she comes into my room asking if she can use mine, (I have the 104 pack of the Oahu and a 24 pack of skin tones) and I hesitated because they're expensive, and a good amount of the have dried out, and I really didn't want her to use the ones that I use the most (I've had them for like 3 1/2 years now and only recently learned how to use them well)

When I don't immediately say yes, she calls me "territorial" and gives me wicked attitude, and I've honestly been so bothered by it. Now I feel like I'm in this position where if I don't say yes every time, I'm being a bad person. Mind you, she later goes on and on about how expensive these markers are to our mom and I'm just sitting here like yeah! They are! And unlike you, I bought these with my own money! For myself! There was also an instance with the aforementioned paint markers where I was at work and she just nabbed them to take to her bf's house and texted me like "Hope its okay I took these" and it wasn't because I was looking forward to using them when I got home.

And I'm trying so hard to not be pretentious about the fact that she uses them for coloring books, but oooh its so hard to not see it as a waste of my markers. She used the hell outta my browns and I'm peeved. She kept saying she was "experimenting with different techniques" like don't experiment with my markers!!

I'm really unsure of whether or not I'm being an asshole by being bothered, but I feel better writing out my feelings about it.

The Ohuhu Chart is Complete once again! 🎨

For now...

Over the last roughly 2 years, the Ohuhu Honolulu range has gone from 242 up to now 363(!) colors, meanwhile I’ve kept up this Chart to help keep track of them all.

You can find the chart for free on my DeviantArt OR also for free in my Ko-Fi Shop, but if you'd like to send a little monetary support my way I do have the Ko-Fi listing set as "pay what you want.” If you're curious about the details of how I made the chart and the ongoing saga of keeping it updated, click the "Keep Reading." ✨

This looks awfully familiar, doesn't it?

As it should; This is now the fourth major revision to my "Complete" Ohuhu Honolulu Chart. To be fair, even back in February when I did the third revision—adding a symbol for markers available as singles and a whole new Large Print version—I knew another one would be in order whenever Ohuhu finally launched their refill inks (which they did back in June!) and I was at least semi-prepared for that.  What I was not prepared for was the discovery that Ohuhu sells an 80-Count Honolulu set on their Japanese storefronts that includes 19 MORE unique colors. 😱🙃

Ohuhu may not sell the 80 set directly to other countries, but I did find that the set does pop up fairly regularly on eBay, and those listings more often than not will ship to places outside of Japan. So, those 19 additional colors will come a premium cost, but you can get them if you're a true-blooded Color Completionist.*

That brings our final total now up to 364 + the Colorless Blender—if you count one color [GY163 Green Bice] that so far has only been released in an Old Skin Tone set Ohuhu no longer sells. If not, it's 363 + the blender, but I'm going to say 364 from here on out since it's technically correct whether you choose to count that oddball color or the blender as the 364th one. 

With that, it's also worth noting Ohuhu has finally, solidly surpassed Copic's 358. Previously, Copic's color range was one of the widest available in alcohol markers. So, suffice to say, I think (as I have for a while now) that Copic should really be watching their back around Ohuhu if they aren't already...

*I do understand not everyone will be willing to go to all that trouble and won't want 19 perpetually empty boxes staring at them, so I am still including the previous 345 version of the chart in the download. It has otherwise been updated to be accurate—It does say there are 363 colors total now and has the new symbols for refills—but it doesn't have the 19 extra swatch boxes. But as a result of this, I am officially retiring the original 242 version just to cut down on how many charts I have to fiddle with for future updates. 

Anyway. Since my goal with this chart from the beginning was to keep track of every color Ohuhu makes for the Honolulu markers, even if they're trickier to come by, that meant I had to somehow find space for 19 more colors on this thing. [And at this point they're making this whole thing so complicated I probably need to draw/write up some kind of buying guide that shows which sets add what colors...but that's a project for another day...]

I just barely squeezed the 19 new colors in, but as I also note that I had to eat what tiny margins were left on the page to help do it. I'm not crazy about doing that since it'll make the printing process trickier for some, but I didn't really have many other options without redesigning the chart from the ground up, which I really did not want to do. 

I may very well have to do that anyway if Ohuhu adds any more colors in the E or Y families [you can thank the Y's in particular this time], but I'll deal with that headache when I no longer have a choice. This time, I did have a choice, so I went with what would be the least headache for me and get the chart to you Sparklers faster. 

And speaking of headaches, I will also say here as I have for this chart in the past:

"...[the] problem with any Swatch Chart over 50-70 or so colors (including my own): It gets difficult to have so many colors on the page while also still being useful, so I often have a "tracker" page like this, and then a multi-page set of charts that are a more comfortable size. The single tracker page gets filled in with solid color as I see fit, and then the multiple pages are gradients in some way, since that's what I find most useful.

You can fill in the chart however you like, but I thought knowing how I handle mine might be helpful for anyone concerned about how small the boxes might print."

This problem isn't as bad as it used to be since I now purposefully include a 2-page "Large Print" version, but it does still apply since in my test prints the Large Print boxes are still smaller than I, personally, would typically find the most useful. 

I think that's everything I wanted to say...Oh, one final note that, yes, in case it wasn't obvious I will still continue to do my best to keep this chart up-to-date as Ohuhu further complicates the Honolulu line. I get to the updates as quickly as I'm able, so just try to be patient if and when it needs updating but I haven't gotten to it yet. 

This chart has proven to be more work than I ever expected, but I genuinely believe in Ohuhu's Honolulu markers as a product and many of you Sparklers have made it clear to me that you find the chart useful too, so it's worth it to me to keep up with and I intend to do just that as long as I'm able. 

Still, part of the reason why it took so long to post this update is because, as I already implied multiple times, it took some doing, and there were some other behind-the-scenes things that slowed me down that I won't get into here. 

As a result, I know it's not much, but I ask that you Sparklers consider this my little last-minute Christmas/Holiday gift to you. 💖 Enjoy!
