To Sharon and Rachael in Aug - Ohuhu markers



Here is that style I appropriated from Rachael. I also put it on my chart so that everyone will get a sample of it. The photo looks pretty blah. In real life it was better. I used colored pencil for the shading.

I couldn't remember if I had done one for Rachael using her idea - so I did this one. I have mixed feelings about it. The important part is that I really enjoy doing this style and encourage others to give it a try. I'd love to see some others try it - to illustrate how personalized each one will be. I never did get one that looked a lot like Rachael's.



Chuck sent me an email a while back telling me about some new alcohol markers - made by Ohuhu - that he bought and liked. Then I ran across this video with a guy who had compared them with Copic, previously - and the only reason he decided Copic was *better* was because they had more colors. But now Ohuhu has added colors and they have more - so he did another comparison and has declared Ohuhu better than Copic. Of course I am tempted - and I might treat (reward) myself to some new markers after I get my hoard handled. I've made a lot of progress this summer. Maybe the lure of these markers will help me get to the finish line.

Here is the video if you are interested - there was a set on Amazon that was 50-cents per marker -- when I wrote this on Aug 16th.
