Tips And Tricks For Coloring With Alcohol Markers

Do you struggle with alcohol marker colouring? It is my absolute favourite way to colour stamped images, but it can be a bit tricky. I filmed this short tutorial to show the basics of how I approach my colouring, and I hope you find it helpful! I had to speed it up so I could fit everything into the reel so I know it goes by a bit faster. Please make sure to ask me in the comments if you have any questions! And if you want more colouring tutorials, let me know that in the comments, too!
