Built for creative professionals and students who need to replace specific high-use colors without rebuying an entire set. Not for casual hobbyists wanting light-fast pigments — this shop focuses on high-octane alcohol ink for rapid blending and layout work.
The E289 is the workhorse of the line; unlike the brush tips that can fray with heavy pressure on toothy paper, this fine/chisel combo holds its shape during aggressive fills. It is the most reliable choice for consistent line weight when you are working through long sessions.
⚠ Worth knowing: These markers use alcohol-based ink that will bleed through standard 20lb bond paper immediately. You must use the heavy-weight Marker Pad or a silicone barrier sheet, or you will ruin the pages underneath.

How to use this together
1
Prepare Your Surface
Always begin by placing your Ohuhu Marker Pad art sketchbook on a flat, stable surface. The specially coated paper is crucial for preventing bleed-through and ensuring vibrant color payoff. This preparation is key to protecting your workspace and achieving professional results.
2
Establish Your Base Colors
Start with broader strokes and base colors using a larger set like the Oahu Series Dual Tips Alcohol Art Markers 320 Colors or the Molokai Series Extra Large Nib Dual Tip Alcohol Markers. These allow you to cover significant areas quickly and lay down smooth color foundations. Working from light to dark is generally recommended for alcohol markers.
3
Add Detail and Texture
Transition to finer tips for detailed work. Use the fine tip of an Oahu Oahu E289 Individual Marker, Fine & Chisel or the Kaala Series Slim Dual Tip Alcohol Graphics Markers for precise lines, outlines, and delicate textures. The Honolulu B Series Brush and Chisel Tip Alcohol Markers are excellent for adding painterly effects and blending nuances.
4
Blend and Layer
Layer colors while the previous layer is still wet for seamless blending, or use a colorless blender marker (if available in your set) for smoother transitions. The rapid drying nature of alcohol ink necessitates quick work and understanding how different tips contribute to blending. Practice on a separate sheet from the Ohuhu Marker Pad before applying to your final piece.
