Winsor & Newton ProMarker Set, 6 Count, Neutral Tones

a range of black and gray tones

I bought this for value study before doing watercolor and the set being in a grey scale really helps.

I have never bought any fancy markers before.My friends have raved about copics of course, but I couldn’t justify it. Still, I wanted to use something special for inktober this year, so I spent a few days researching alternative markers and took a chance on these.And you know what? I like them!I’m still getting used to using markers and I’ve practiced blending them a bit, both with the blend marker I bought separately and without it.I had success with blending the darker colors as you can see in the witch drawing, but the jury is out on the lighter ones. The paper I’m using bleeds and isn’t entirely suited for inks, so that may be part of my problem.I use 1 to shade white things like t shirts or armor, and I use the 4 and 5 to fill shadows. The black(6) is pretty intense (as you can see in the joker drawing) so I don’t use it as often, but it’s still great.My primary struggle has been filling in large spaces with one color, since one area dries faster than the others. As much as you can, keep the marker on the paper in even strokes so that the ink can stay even. I failed to do that on the whale drawing, but it ended up giving it a cool underwater look, so it all worked out!I definitely would buy these again, and am considering looking into the color version of these markers :)

Love WN stuff but the price is always hard to swallow. They always seem to have exactly what i am looking for. Great product development and marketing.These markers work well for “thumb nailing” and basic value sketches prior to painting. They serve the exact purpose for which I purchased them.

No bleed. No streaks. Smooth application. I got the neutral grey set and it’s perfect

Color is saturated

I purchased these to do value studies for my paintings. They work great and worked as expected.
