The f ine bullet and chisel tips lend themselves to the edgy energetic quality of the characters in anime drawings or detail in urban and rural architecture . Architecture illustrator Simone Ridyard using Promarker Watercolour to illustrate Oxford Street in London. ProMarkers are a popular product in any artist’s arsenal due to their versatility and unrivalled colour spectrum. Twin-tipped, with a fine nib at one end, and a chisel-shaped nib at the other, Winsor and Newton ProMarkers (formerly Letraset ProMarkers) come in a huge range of colours, making them an ideal choice for any illustration or craft project. The two different nibs on the ProMarker pen allow for two very different lines. The chisel-shaped nip is great for broad and sweeping lines, with equally applied colour, whereas the finer nib is perfect for more precise detail.

They come in two formulations: alcohol and water-based. The Promarker and Promarker Brush are both alcohol-based dye ink markers with fine bullet nibs on one end. The other nib on the Promarker is a chisel; the Promarker Brush has a softer brush nib. The Winsor & Newton ProMarker is a twin-tipped graphic marker popular with artists and illustrators the world over. All colours within the ProMarker range are fully intermixable with one another, allowing for complete control when blending. What do you use ProMarkers for? The ink inside ProMarkers is alcohol-based. This is beneficial for many reasons. The first advantage you will notice is that Winsor & Newton ProMarkers produce vivid colours without leaving streaks. This sets them aside from normal markers and allows you to create professional-looking, vibrant drawings and illustrations. It also means that the use of these markers is not just limited to paper, so are a worthwhile addition to your art supplies. While ProMarkers are designed ideally for use on paper and other smooth surfaces, you may also use alcohol-based markers on a canvas. They will, naturally, behave very differently on the new surface as it provides a more granular texture for your art. How do you blend with ProMarkers? As they use alcohol-based ink, storing both ProMarkers and BrushMarkers correctly can make a huge difference to their quality. You can store these pens either horizontally or vertically, which is not possible with other water-based markers. Many artists choose to store their markers vertically, as the colour of the marker is easily visible on a dot at the end of each pen.For the larger sets you will pay the following, for the 24 Wallet set of Promarkers you will pay €53, for the 48 set of Promarkers you will pay €98 and for the 48 set of Brushmarkers you will approximately pay €113 and for the largest 96 set of Promarkers you will pay €230 There are five different types of ProMarker: the original, ProMarker Brush, ProMarker Watercolour, ProMarker Neon and ProMarker Metallic. What are the differences between each ProMarker type? The markers will produce superb colour definition and smooth, even colour laydown, as well as being fully blendable. You can achieve new colours, and experiment with the Promarker Blender (available separately) to soften and merge shades. When marker lines overlap and dry, they can cause unwanted uneven streaks in your artwork. Streaks can sometimes be an asset to your art style, however they can also appear where you least want them. Some simple tips for avoiding streaky lines are below:

Winsor & Newton sell both the ProMarker and the BrushMarker . Both are double-ended pens with two nibs: The ProMarker features a fine nib and a chisel-shaped nib while the BrushMarker has a brush nib at one end and a chisel nib at the other. The fine and brush nibs are very different and will create very different effects. The fine nib is great for fine details with a small but solid surface area, and the brush nib can create lines of different lengths as it has a very fluid texture. They use the same type of ink so can be used in conjunction with one another very easily. Both are available in a variety of colours, with 148 colours in the ProMarker range and 72 available in the BrushMarker range.This variety makes the ProMarker an incredibly versatile tool. One can achieve very different effects with the fine nib and it’s great for very fine details. The brush nib allows you to create very fluid, flexible lines of different widths. How many colours are available? We also offer a range of themed sets featuring colours chosen by our experts to suit your style, such as Tattoo, Skin Tones, Manga, Skyscape, Landscape and Architecture.

Promarker Watercolour differs in that it uses water-based pigmented ink with fine bullet and brush nibs. Promarker Neon and Promarker Metallic also have a water-based pigmented formula which makes them compatible with the rest of the range, so these vibrant and shimmering colours can be used with the other markers to expand your palette. A fashion illustration using Promarker Brush by Scott Mason.With some of the Winsor & Newton pigments, when you first lay them down and they look bright and vibrant, after leaving them to dry, some of them appear a little bit washed out in comparison to how they looked immediately when laying them down. To remedy this, all you have to do with the pigments this occurs to, is simply apply another layer. Like I say, not all of the pigments behave in this way and you will get to know the pigments it does happen to the more you use them. It is like any art supply, the more you use it, the more you are going to notice any quirks that come with that particular product if any. Winsor & Newton Promarker and Brushmarker Pricing
