Really loving these markers, but I can't figure out how to blend colors/fade out with them because they seem to dry so quickly. How can I do this?

I'm sorry I'm not any help. This seems to be a problem with these pens. Along with the limited color choices.

Use the lighter colors first and wipe with alcohol at your blend areas and lighten the area up and place you darker color. The alcohol will allow you to blend the two or more colors

I personally use quite a lot of the colours, I also find myself newly discovering amazing colours I didn't even know I had every time I draw something. If you're heaps into shading with every single colour under the sun.. These are definitely for you. I highly recommend them. They're my favourites!

I'm looking for them too. I went to the crayola website and didn't see them there. This is a fun toy so I hope they have the markers available somewhere. 2 of our markers dried up after 3 uses (the blue and green one). I wonder if neon crayons would work?

You probably have the marker pushed in too far. Pull it out just a hair at a time. You have to find the "sweet" spot for the marker. Once you do you'll LOVE this!

They are not permanent markers. They did smudge for me on a slick calendar that I was writing on. It had to dry for a while before I could write anything else on the calendar. I hope that helps! Happy New Year!

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

I haven't used markers very much so far with this sketch book but what I have used hasn't bled much. I could see it bleeding through if you were using a heavy amount. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried, but I am guessing NO. These markers have pretty poor coverage. The medium that carries the pigment is not thick, so I think the background cover would show through. When i get home I can try it. If I were you, I'd look for oil based markers instead. They usually are much more opaque.

They are markers...but I would not recommend this set. There were too many that were almost completely dried out. I am very disappointed in this purchase! I bought Tombow brushes before and LOVE them...my suggestion not to buy these particular ones was based on almost 1/3 of them were almost dried out upon arrival. Thank you to another of you who recommends wetting the tip on the ones that appear dried out.

I used a permanent marker, so technically I couldn't reuse them. However, the sun faded the writing on the markers so I can't read most of them. In that case, I would reuse them. Hope this helps.

Hello Xkieusme, Unfortunately, Inked Markers don't show up well against black fabric. They are best suited to white or light coloured fabrics. Kind Regards, Blackcat Sales Support.

i found the colors to be a little different when they dried. i used them mostly for mixed media painting on canvas. i DID do one t-shirt. and had to retouch it, after i washed it. after that, it was "just OK". be sure to put some cardboard protection under the layer of fabric you are painting. also, give plenty of drying time. if i had it to do over, i would make a small color sampler, by drawing a line from each color first, so that you can see what it will look like when it dries. rather than waste them, i still use them on occasion, but mostly i use another brand. and btw, i like martha stewart and regret giving such a negative answer. good luck.

You need a stronger light. I had that same problem with the opi pastels. Stronger light did the trick.

They have a website and it gives you directions on how to mix the colours. I found after looking that up it was a bit trial and error. Make sure you buy enough product. I didn't!! Hope that helps.

They write similar to the skinny Crayola markers. Maybe slightly wider than those. Not sure if that helps any... I tried to upload a picture and it wouldn't let me.

No bkender. I went to my local art supply store and bought 2 from open stock. There are other things you can use also, like baby oil! Search Prismacolor blending on you tube

Not that I've seen, Aaron. I tested a couple of swatches using 90% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. The colors slightly blended, and there was some pigment pick up. So I guess these aren't as useful from an artist's point of view, but they do the job for what I use them for. Good luck!
