Hey guys! So I'm doing a haul video and I'm really excited
because I never really get to do haul videos since I rarely buy much stuff all at once. I usually just buy maybe one or two things
and I think my last haul video was actually on my old channel and I did a Copic haul. And I actually haven't purchased Copics for
myself since then. Actually no, no no, I might have bought the
anniversary set a little bit after that. All I know is I haven't purchased Copics since
I bought my anniversary set which was nearly 3 years ago. So, it's about time I bought some new stuff. Okay, so first thing on the list is actually
not something I bought. Woops. Gonna break it. Here we go. I might have to zoom out a little bit here. So, this is my silver play button! HELLO! Hello guys (laughing). No, don't look at me! This is what YouTube sends you when you reach
100,000 subscribers, so, I'm super excited to get this. And they also have a gold play button that
they send to you if you reach a million subscribers, and it's like, 4 times the size of this one,
at least. But I was so excited to get this and I just
wanted to share it with you because it's all thanks to you guys that my channel has gotten
to this point, and every time I see this on my wall, I'm just gonna think of you guys
and it's going to put a smile on my face. So thank you for making my life super fun
and exciting. I LOVE doing these videos. I don't know what I would do with my spare
time if I wasn't making these videos. I probably would still draw, but, you know,
it wouldn't be as fun. So thank you so much! This is all thanks to you! (Laughs) Okay, let's just not. Okay, moving on to the art stuff! So, most of the items in this haul are gonna
be markers because I decided to make a video about Copic alternatives because I have Copic
markers and people ask me a lot what are some cheaper alternatives to Copics, or what other
markers are good. And I never know what to say because I've
never tried other types of markers. I have 6 of the old Prismacolor markers and
that's it, other than Copics. So I decided to make it one of my Patreon
milestone rewards that if I got to a certain amount on Patreon, I would do a Copic alternatives
video. And it's going to be live, like it's going
to be public on this channel. It's not going to be exclusive to Patreon,
so don't worry - everyone will be able to see this video. This just...yeah, I just realized that was
turned. I kind of, you know, just need this to face
the right way. Anyway, so, it's thanks you you guys' support
on Patreon that I'll be able to make this video. And all the markers came in. I just got the final two sets of markers this
morning, so I'm all excited to make this haul for you guys! So. I'll bring in first the markers I have on
this side. So, I haven't tested out all these markers
yet by the way. It's gonna take me a while to do art with
each of these markers, so the Copic alternatives video won't be up for probably at least a
couple months. But, first brand of marker. I don't know how to pronounce this. I'm just gonna call it MEP-SKI. And these feel pretty nice. I like the way the barrel feels. It doesn't feel cheapy. And um, it's just a dual-ended marker. YEE. Here's one side, here's the other side. I really wanted to get markers that have brush
tips like Copics. Not all of them do have brush tips, but, yeah. So these were from DickBlick and they were
on clearance for $1.49. I kind of wish I got more of them because
the other markers I bought, I bought more than this. I have like 20 some markers here and I wish
I kinda got more. Also, I didn't get a red because when I got
my invoice with this package, it said that carmine was discontinued, so they didn't send
it to me. I'm like "Oh." Now I don't really have a red. I just have dark pink. So, here's a little overview of the colours
I did get. So I'm excited to try these out. Next up, we have the Finecolour markers. Look closely at that font, okay, look closely
there. (Laughing) It looks just like the Copic font. Oh my goodness. I mean, the Prismacolor font is pretty similar
as well, but, it's like, clearly trying to be a Copic knockoff. So, they come in a set like this, and these
were super cheap. They're like a dollar per marker. So, yay! And here are all the different colours I got. This one I bought as a set. I didn't pick individual colours. There's a lot of pastels here though. I think I purposely picked that because I
really like pastel colours. So, this is what they look like. Finecolour. And the barrel is so similar to Copics, like,
such a knockoff, BUT these ones don't have a brush nib. That's the one downside. Yep, those are those. Super cheap and I haven't really tried them
out yet, so I'll let you know how that goes in the Copic alternatives video. These ones are all individuals too. The Tria markers. Actually it might be pronounce TRY-A. So correct
me if I'm saying it wrong because I'd like to say it correctly in the Copic alternatives
video. I'm just used to saying TREE-A though. So, these markers look pretty cool. I like how you can see the colours through
the barrels, although I do think the caps are a little cheapy. I should stop reviewing these! It's supposed to be for the Copic alternatives
video! I got these - oh wait! I didn't say where I got the Finecolours. I got these from AliExpress.com. And these ones I got from Jerry's Artarama
because I went to their website to see if they had Trias, and they just happened to
have this amazing sale going on. I think these are $4 each regular price, but
they were on sale for $1.69 each. And I had no idea you could get Trias for
that cheap. I had to pick out the colours individually
and it was really difficult because a lot of the colours I wanted were sold out. But, I managed to get this many. Oh wait. Am I missing those greens? There were two greens that arrived with their
caps off I think it was like these ones. Yeah, these ones, cause like, I tried refilling
them with some Copic colourless blender solution to try to revive them cause they were completely
dried out. You should not use rubbing alcohol or Copic
colourless blender to refill a marker that's dried out because you used up all the ink,
but if it dried out because you left the cap off, you can use that to refill it. Just be aware that you could overdilute the
colour. Like, it won't be the exact same colour as
it used to be, but, hey, it was worth trying to revive them. I just ended up getting some of the alcohol
outside the central barrel. I don't know if you can see that. There's like a wet spot here because I kind
of refilled it too fast, and so yeah, you can kind of see it there. I refilled them last night. I think they're alive. I didn't test them out today. I was letting them sit. Yeah, I think it's kind of okay. This one's got a bit of a chewed up nib. But Tria markers have 3 nibs. There's like a little bullet tip one, and
then the wide one is underneath, and then you have your brush nib on the other side. Some of them actually have an ultra fine tip. What is one of the ones that had it...I don't
want to look through them all to try to find one, but some of them have a super fine tip
point, cause that's how the newer ones come, apparently. And I'm not even pulling off the right side. Hold on, I'll try to find one, and then I'll
show it to you guys. Aha! Here's one, although it's kind of a dark colour. I don't know if you can really tell, but the
nib is that big. That is the nib. It's as small as a point one multiliner. It is TEENY. So I don't know if I prefer this or if I prefer
the bullet nib. I think they're both useful. I'd like to have both instead of a chisel
nib, cause I'm not a big fan of chisel nibs. But yeah, these are pretty cool. And they were a good deal, so once again,
I wish I got more actually. This one and the Mepxy, I feel like these
are the two I have the least of. But I still have enough that I could test
them out and give you guys my opinions on them. And I guess I'll officially show you which
colours I got. One of the greens actually has a wrong cap
one it. There, this one. It has a red cap on one side. I don't know why. But anyway, I don't know if the camera will
focus enough on the colours. It's written pretty teeny. So I dunno if you can even read that, plus
there's a lot of glare. Those are the colours I got. So, mhmm. Next up, I got the Touch Twin markers, and
I specifically got the brush markers. The ones with the black barrels don't have
a brush tip, so just be aware if you're buying these markers and you want a brush tip, get
the white ones. They're a little bit more expensive though,
which kind of sucks. There's the brush nib. Here's the normal tip. I actually want to test this out real quick. I was really pleased with the Mepxy nibs. This one's actually pretty nice too. It's a little stiff. The Trias, the nibs don't feel that much like
the Copic nibs. SHH! I need to stop saying these things! I need to save it for the video! Uh yeah, but these are the colours I got. I don't know if this set has a name. It's just 24 colours. I don't think there's a specific name for
it. It's just the 24 set of touch twin markers. And I got these guys also from Jerry's Artarama,
cause that good sale was on. And so, I don't remember the cost of these. I'll talk about it more in the Copic alternatives
video. Yeah, they were on sale too, which is awesome. Next up, I got this set of 24 Spectrum Noir
markers, and I got the Lights set. And I got this at a place called Canuck Crafts. Actually, I got a business card, they stapled
it to the invoice so I might as well show it. It's a place here in BC, which is pretty cool. And you can get it at a lot of places. You can even get them at Staples, or at least
online at Staples, but they were sold out when I was looking there, so I got it from
this place. These do not have brush tips, sadly. Here, let me just pull some of them out here. Show you what they're like. Spectrum Noir. And these are actually the newer barrels. They have an older version of these markers. There's kind of a rubbery, yeah, that is rubber. There's rubber grips right there, so that's
pretty snazzy. And then you have your bullet tip. So it's kind of like a Copic Original. Then your chisel. And I do not like bullet nibs as much as I
like brush nibs, so I actually bought some brush nibs. The downside is, this is about $2 a nib. It's a bit less than that. It was like $7 for 3. And that's just as expensive as the markers
are. So it's like, hmmm. It doubles the cost of the marker if you want
to get a brush tip. So I got 6 of them, so I'll be able to replace
6 of my markers with the brush nib. But that is it. The rest will have to stay as chisel. There's all the colours I got. I'm just so excited to try out all these markers,
you guys! I'm in marker heaven! There's markers everywhere! Okay, so there's those ones. And one more type of marker for my Copic alternatives
video, and that is the Prismacolor Premier. And I got the new ones that have the brush
nibs, of course. So, here's 24 of them. And I actually got a 48 pack, and it's weird
because it comes as two separate containers. But they had a cardboard piece around them
to show it was one set. So this is a 48 set of Prismacolor Premier
markers. Let's take a look here. HEY. Oh (laughing) sorry! I fell for this last time too. I was like, "That's not a brush nib!" It actually doesn't come with a chisel nib. Like, oh my god, thank you! THANK YOU. I hate chisel nibs. I feel like they're a waste. Yes, sorry, I forgot about that (laughs). So, Prismacolor, yay, thank you for excluding
chisel, because that is awesome. Let me do a little swatch here. Oh, yeah, these have really nice nibs too. I think the Trias just had icky nibs. Kind of. They're okay. Anyway, I have to try them a little more other
than just swatching a little bit on a piece of paper. Okay, SO many markers, oh my god! And these look pretty cool in their case like
this. Pretty snazzy. So, those are those. These were also from Jerry's. I got all 48 for $99, which is insane. I forget what they are regular price. Plus, for reason, you can get the 48 set,
or the 48 set that comes with these cases, and regular price, the case is more expensive,
but for some reason with the sale, the ones with the cases were cheaper. So I was like, okay! Yeah, I think it was $99 for all 48. US Dollars, that is. So, cool man. Kewl. Okay, so that's it for the Copic alternatives
part of the haul, but I have some more stuff that I bought for myself. So, Copics. Like I mentioned, it's been either 3 years
or close to 3 years since I've purchased Copic markers for myself. I have purchased them for giveaways and things,
but, like I have so many Copics I was in no rush to get more. I got them from a place called Curry's. It's a Canadian website and they actually
do have actual storefronts in Ontario, but I live in Western Canada, so I can't physically
go to a Curry's. But their prices are actually on par with
online US stores. So it looks like a bit more money at first,
but when you do the currency conversion, they're actually super cheap. It's like $5.27 per Sketch marker, US Dollars
that is. So, I got a whole bunch of Copics. Oh, plus they had a sale, 20% off. So I actually got them for cheaper than that,
and that's why I went insane and bought a ton. I pretty much bought every Copic Sketch colour
they carried that I didn't already have, but unfortunately they don't really carry that
many, and they don't carry many refills either. I wanted, like, 11 different, 11 or 14 different
refills, and they didn't even have them all. They only had 3, so sad. Oh my god, my battery light's flashing. Please survive! Okay, so these are the 3 refills I got. I got YG67 Moss, Y21 Buttercup Yellow, and
BV02 Prune. Cause those are the only ones they had. And I'm quickly gonna dump all these out,
so I'll be right back. Umm... I'm confused here. Each case was full of 3 markers, but I ordered
49 colours, and 49 is not divisible by 3. I need to count these. Oh my god, I only counted 42. I'm pretty sure I ordered 49 markers. I'm gonna have to cross check that with the
online order. Derp. Wow, I am stupid. I forgot that some of them are backordered. So there's 7 that are backordered, which is
why I only have 42. Okay, well. Problem solved. Here, I'll maybe say what colours, in case
you're curious, although they don't have the colour - oh, you have to look here. I'm missing E18 E39 E40 E32 Y00 YR02 and special
blue - I don't know what that code is - Oh, it's B29 Ultramarine Blue. Or something. So, in case anyone's really curious about
the colours I'm getting, those are the ones that are not going to be part of this haul. Oh my god, I'm so excited I can finally add
these to my Copic, or storage device, whatever. Okay, hopefully the camera is somewhat focusing
on these. I think it's focusing a bit lower. Hold on. If I just touch the screen where I want it
to focus, it should focus. There we go. In case you're curious what colours I got,
there's some. Dump. There's the next batch. Do do do do. And here is the final batch of colours. Kewl man. Kewl. So, those are the ones I got, I already showed
you the refills. Cool. Next on the list, Soufflé pens! These are by Sakura. They're the same company that makes the Micron
pens and makes the Gelly Roll pen. So if you compare it to my Gelly roll, you'll
see it looks just like it. But these are different because they work
on dark surfaces, and they're slightly puffy I think. I actually haven't had a chance to try them
because I wanted to show them in the packaging for the haul. I got these on Amazon. I think it was $25 or something for the whole
set, although I'm sure you can find it cheaper on the American Amazon website, but I had
to get it on the Canadian one. So, oh my gosh, I'm so excited. Let's test one out. Let's take the pink. See how this works. Oh. There's a thing. Like a little glob of wax or something to
protect the tip of it. Maybe so it doesn't get all crusty? Oh yeah, that kind of works. Let's zoom in a little bit. This is probably, I mean...hmm. You'd think it would work a little bit better
on this dark surface. But that's okay. I just thought that these would be really
cool for adding details to my drawings. Not gonna lie, these are a little bit not
what I was expecting. But they're still cool. They're pretty much gel pens. That one stands out pretty well. Yeah, so, those are the Soufflé pens. I think the colours are really cure. They'll probably look a lot nicer on white
paper. I probably, I'm not really planning on using
these on dark paper anyway. I just wanted to test it out. Okay, so my camera battery died. I just charged it for a little bit and I looked
back at this paper, *gasp*. Look at it! It looks wet when you first draw with it,
but when it dries, it's totally opaque. Kay, let's grab it again and do a comparison. So, I think that was the pink. The pink's actually pretty pale. Here, I'll do purple. So these swirls are purple. When it's fresh, it doesn't look exciting
at all. Look at that. Look at the difference. And when it dries, it's totally opaque! Wow, oh my god, I'm so much more excited now! Yes! Yay, yayaya, Soufflé pens, so excite (laughs). Okay, so the next item in this haul is masking
fluid. This is the box it came in. I already took it out of the box. So, you saw me use this in my Craya speedpaint
video. It is masking fluid, and how it works is you
squeeze it out onto your paper in whatever design you want, and then you can paint on
top of it, and then when it's dry peel it off, and it leaves the paper white. It's pretty cool, and it has this little needle
on the cap. The needle goes in the hole to prevent it
from clogging. And I really wanted this masking fluid because
it comes in a pen like this. You can get them in bottles where you have
to use a paintbrush with them, but I thought it would be really cool to get these ones. Oh no, I cannot do this. There we go. There we go. This is the brand Fineline, it says masking
fluid, 18 grams, self-cleaning system. (Laughs) Wow! WOW! Sorry, I don't know why I find that so funny. And I bought it from this website called Hofcraft. I've never heard of it before, but they had
a good price and good shipping cost to Canada, so I was like, okay, I'll buy from them. So there's this one, and then there's a second
one. Same brand, but it has a smaller nib. Let's actually open this up here. So this one...wait, it kinda looks the same,
wait. It is thinner, but, okay, I need to compare
them. Oh yeah, that's quite a bit smaller. Not a huge difference. You probably really can't see this on the
screen. There's a bit of a difference there. Oh yeah. I'd say it's about half the diameter or something. I'm sure you could find the official specs
for that. Oh yeah, cause this says 20 gauge. This one...oh. Maybe that meant...no no no...oh yeah yeah,
okay, that 18g meant 18 gauge, not 18 grams. Cause it's 37.5ml, so yeah, this is a 0.8mm
tip and this is a 0.5mm tip. So that is the difference. So I bought these, I ordered them online like
I said, from that website, and then a few days later I forgot that I ordered them. And I ordered some more masking fluid. Wow, so now I'm going to have 3 things of
masking fluid. Get in there! It's because I bought Claire Keane's book
Once Upon a Cloud and I wanted to get the free shipping and I was like hey, I've been
meaning to buy masking fluid, so let's add some masking fluid on and get the free shipping. Totally forgot I already bought masking fluid! I forgot that I actually went through with
this order. I thought I added it to my cart and didn't
actually buy it. Woops! So this is Windsor & Newton colourless art
masking fluid. I haven't had a chance to use this yet but,
it's the kind you need a brush to use with. It's got a safety cap. There we go. Cool. This is good thought because if I want to
mask a larger area, I'll use this with a brush, and if I want to mask a smaller area, I'll
use these guys. Alright, so that's it for the haul. We had the three masking fluids, the Soufflé
pens, and a whole bunch of markers, so woohoo! Oh and just a note about the markers, so the
Copic alternatives video was a $500 milestone on my Patreon, but I definitely spent more
than $500 on the markers. But, I mean, that's fine because Patreon is
monthly, so I'll still recoup the costs. But um, yes, so many markers that I wouldn't
otherwise be able to buy. Hoohoohahahahaha! So excited! So, thanks for watching, and I'll see you
guys in my next video!
