Lesson Discussion

  3. Hello matt I’ve been trying to play your video courses and they keep saying “Sorry we’re having a little trouble” How do I fix this? Should I wait and come back after a few days? Thank you

  4. Also I forgot to ask is there a cheaper alternative set that I can use? Those prisma color markers are way too expensive for me is there any other brand you can recommend that has a similar colour range? I have water-soluble tombow markers that I’m planning on using if that’s okay. I’ll try my best to match those exact reds

    • Hi Yasmeen,

      I would try to find some alcohol-based markers (There are cheaper brands on Amazon). The water-based markers will not produce the same results.

      • Thank you so much! The video is working for me now and I can’t wait to try this it looks so real I love this! I’ve decided to get the Ohuhu Markers instead then so far those are at a good price for me and they have a good range from what I’ve seen

        • Based on my experience and reviews that I have read, the Ohuhu markers are essentially as good as the much more expensive markers. Ohuhu also offers refillable markers.
