Art: ProMarkers by Letraset
Saturday, 3 August 2013 @ 18:31

ProMarkers are Alcohol based permanent markers. Unlike other felt tips they do not feather up the paper. You can layer them to create shading, and can blend and overlay the colours. They offer a lot of artistic freedom.

ProMarkers are good to use for cartoons, comics, drawing characters, people, animals, lots of uses. You can make clear crisp lines with them, they give a smooth look unlike other felt tip pens or pencils. The pens have a fine tip and a larger tip, you can also get fine tip pens to draw out lines, and a blender pen.


Left to right - Ruby showing small tip, Petrol Blue showing large tip, Blender pen & Fine tip pen.


Blending 

There are a few ways you can blend two colours together, alternately you can blend your shading of just one colour together. The easiest way I find to use the blending pen is to lay the lightest colour you want to blend down first, then colour over it with the blending pen.



Layer the second darker colour over the top in the places you want it and use the blending pen again over the top.



Overlaying 

If you wish to you can over lay colours. Depending on the colour under it the colours will be slightly different which is good if you want to mix colours. Try to test the colours on a separate sheet before putting it on your work - this way you will know what colour it will turn and how much layering you have to do.



In this second image I layered the colours showing next to it which colour I use - this will give you an idea of what to look out for when you layer colours yourself.



Shading

One of the things I really love about these pens is the ability to shade with them. You can build up several layers of shading. Bellow is an image with block colour (Using the colour "Blossom")



The next image uses one layer of shading.



Two layers of shading - leave a bit of time for drying between each layer - leave more time if you want the layers to look more defined,  leave less time if you want the layers to blend. (It's a good idea to test on a separate bit of paper how much time is needed)



Three layers of shading - you can build up several more layers.




I hope if you are really into art you consider trying ProMarkers, they are a fantastic tool, are easy to use and don't take long to get used to! If you want to buy some get onto Letraset's website :)
