  • This is just a quick little video I made hurriedly this afternoon, after getting home from a craft group where I'd been hampered by my lack of marker organisation! I'm very happy with my simple solution.

    Tombow did release a new marker case . You can now store the markers horizontally that way your markers will have evenly distributed ink. I did by mine about a week ago and I love it very much. It also comes along with stickers one for the water based and one for the alcohol based markers. Hope this is helpful.

    Thank you so much for this video, Helen! I've had the same collection of Tombows for years and never really used them because it had always been so tiring to match up the numbers on the pens with the swatches on my A4 sheet. When I bought them they did not come with the carrying box but with a very flimsy rack that I never used. I've had this carrying box in my amazon cart for years but always thought it was a waste of money to buy it. After having seen your brilliant swatch card idea, however, I bought it right away - and I'm so happy I did! I hope to use those pens a lot more now. I even adopted your color order because it's such a great distribution of warm colours, cool colours and neutrals.

      That's so good to hear! Even though the box is quite big, I'm definitely using them more now.

    I love seeing all the colours together. Such a happy sight ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 I have the three ohuhu sets in cases. 😊

      I know - it's why I need whole sets!! 😬
      I don't know much about those - will go and take a look at them.

    So clever! It took me a second to realize what you were planning to do with those swatch strips and it turned our perfectly!

    • @helencryer

      Thank you! For me, it's going to be so much more usable now!

    What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!

    There are only 108 colors available, 1 is the colorless blender. I also suggest printing off the official color chart to see how many colors you need to get.

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  Před rokem

      It's so weird, when I was looking up the new full range, I don't know where I came across 144, but it cropped up somewhere! You are right though - 108 it is! Thanks for the correction!

    Great idea! I might do this also.

    • @helencryer

      Thanks! I think it will definitely make me use them more!

    I prefer these over alcohol markers what a nice collection of colors.

    • @helencryer

      I used to have Copics, and they're useful for super smooth blends, but I just found I wasn't using them, so sold them.

    Luckily I already have a small set of Tombows so found this helpful. I recently started to swatch my Aquarell pencils, & my Aquarell paints. So to see how much you swatch is part of your usage is good. Thanks. By the way, do you use Aquarell paper for the Tombows swatching? Thanks. Now you’ve answered my question.

    • @helencryer

      Thank you! I just used copier paper for the swatches I stuck to the side of the Tombow case.
