Hi Everyone,
WOW! The first 1/2 of the pre-order for the Gypsy Series on DVD is going out today. My mom is delivering them to the post this morning. Thanks Mom….I should have the 2nd 1/2 finished up tonight and out tomorrow. Thanks to all of you who pre-ordered. I never thought so many would want the series on DVD…Thank you….

ProMarkers Tutorial

October 30, 2010

Updated to answer a few questions:
1. What paper did I use? Neenah Cardstock, it’s my favorite when working with markers like ProMarker and Copic.
2. Can you refill ProMarkers? I checked around and I don’t see that you can refill these markers.
3. How do I like them compared to Copic? To be honest these are right up there with Copic and the price is much less. $1.49 as compared to Copic at $3.95 for Sketch or $2.79 for Caio.

Hi All,
So a few weeks ago I was contact by Letraset, the company that makes ProMarkers to try them out. I’ve seen a video here and there of others using them and thought they looked pretty cool. They are really awesome. I love love love the fine point for coloring, I feel like I have more control over the marker.
Here’s a video on a stamped image I was working on…

Here is a card I made using the image I colored with the ProMarkers….
