Setup

**Prepare Your Workspace:** Ensure you have a clean, flat surface for drawing.
**Use the Plastic Sheet:** To prevent ink from bleeding through to subsequent pages or your work surface, always place the included plastic sheet (or a thick piece of paper) underneath your drawing paper.
**Create Color Swatches:** Before starting a project, it is highly recommended to create a color swatch chart on the paper you intend to use. This helps you understand how each color appears on that specific paper and aids in color selection.

Operating Instructions

Using Dual Tips

**Brush Tip (1-6mm):** This flexible tip is ideal for broad strokes, sweeping motions, calligraphic lettering, and quickly coloring large areas. Vary the pressure to achieve different line widths and effects.
**Fine Tip (3mm):** The fine tip is designed for intricate details, precise lines, outlining, and adding small accents to your artwork.

Blending Techniques

Ohuhu alcohol markers are known for their seamless blending capabilities. For best results:

**Layering:** Apply lighter colors first, then layer darker shades on top to create smooth transitions.
**Colorless Blender:** Use the colorless blender marker (No.0) to lighten colors, create gradients, or correct mistakes. Apply it over existing colors to push pigment, or use it to create a wet area for colors to blend into.
**Work Quickly:** Alcohol ink dries fast, so work efficiently when blending to achieve smooth transitions before the ink sets.

Understanding Color Codes

Ohuhu has updated its color codes for a better user experience. Both old and new codes are listed on the color charts for easy comparison. The larger font represents the new color code, while the smaller font indicates the old one. The colors themselves remain unchanged.

**Color Family:** The letter shows the color group it belongs to (e.g., 'Y' for Yellow, 'G' for Green).
**Color Saturation:** The first digit shows the color saturation, divided into 10 levels (0-9). Colors at the same level can blend together well.
**Color Brightness:** The last 1-2 digits represent the brightness of the color, divided into 17 levels (0-16). A larger number indicates a darker color.

Maintenance

**Storage:** Always store your markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution to both tips. Keep caps tightly closed when not in use to prevent drying out.
**Replacing Tips:** Ohuhu offers replacement brush tips. If a tip becomes worn out or damaged, gently pull out the old tip with tweezers and insert a new one. Ensure it is seated firmly.
**Refilling Ink:** For refillable markers, purchase the corresponding Ohuhu ink refills. Carefully remove the cap, insert the refill nozzle into the barrel, and slowly squeeze the ink until the marker is adequately saturated. Avoid overfilling.

Troubleshooting

**Dried Out Marker:** If a marker appears dry, ensure the cap was tightly closed. For refillable markers, try refilling the ink. If not refillable, the marker may need to be replaced.
**Ink Bleed-Through:** Alcohol markers are prone to bleeding through thin paper. Always use the provided plastic sheet or a suitable marker paper/cardstock to prevent ink from seeping onto other pages or surfaces.
**Uneven Color/Splotches:** This can occur if the paper is not suitable for alcohol markers or if blending is not done quickly enough. Ensure you are using appropriate paper and blending colors while they are still wet.
**Faulty Pens:** In rare cases, a pen may arrive faulty (e.g., dried out, damaged tip). If this occurs, contact Ohuhu customer support for assistance.

User Tips

**Swatch Your Colors:** Always create a color swatch chart for your markers on the specific paper you'll be using. This helps accurately represent the colors, as they can appear differently on various paper types.
**Prevent Bleed-Through:** Alcohol markers can bleed through paper. Utilize the included plastic sheet or a dedicated marker pad to protect your work surface and subsequent pages.
**Check Markers on Arrival:** Upon receiving your set, test all markers to ensure they are working correctly and none are dried out.
**Layering for Depth:** Experiment with layering lighter colors first and then adding darker shades to achieve depth and smooth transitions in your artwork.
