Remember when I posted that video about the Sakura Solid Markers several months ago? Recently, someone posted the following comment on that video on YouTube:
Often used as a Graffiti marker, you can split the marker in half and put two colors together.. The color patterns are very eye attracting.
Well, I absolutely had to try it out for myself!
I chose two colors I thought would work well together.
I turned the knob at the bottom of the Solid Marker to extend the inside as far as possible and then broke it off. I repeated this for both markers.
I cleaned off the little bit at the top of the barrel and then rolled the pusher-thing inside back to the bottom.
I used a box cutter to cut both colors in half.
And then I matched the halves together and pushed the new two-tone markers back into the empty barrels.
And now my new two-tone markers were ready to use!
I also tried it out in my art journal, adding a quick two-tone circle to the center of the page.
I love my new two-tone markers. Time to start cutting all the colors in half and making all kinds of fun mixes! I hope you'll give it a try too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow! What a great idea. I only have one of these types of markers so maybe I’ll have to look into picking up some more and giving this technique a try! Thanks for another great idea!

If u do it with three at a time, u’d end up with 3 diff color combos instead of two the same. Fun idea. Some people are so inventive.

This would be fun to do to black and white markers–should give a nice range of grays!
