Last week the guys at Chameleon http:// www.chameleonpens.com/ sent me a set of their newly launched markers to test out.

These work a bit differently to any other marker out there with it's innovative blending ability. This is done by the marker being in two parts, the toner and then the marker itself. You remove the toner section to connect with the markers brush tip which causes the ink to berepelled creating a lighter shade. Then as you colour, the original ink slowly comes back, creating a smooth blend.

These were a lot of fun to use but challenging at times since I couldn't always keep a certain shade for as long as I needed without needing to reapply the toner, which I did often. Other than that, achieving blends were very successful and in some ways easier than blending with Copic. It just takes a bit of practice to begin with.

A real awesome thing about these markers, is that a full set of 22 of them is mostly all you'll ever need (with all of each markers range of shades) instead of needing to buy hundreds of individual markers.

I noticed that the brisque marker is awesome for skin when used with the cool grey. For the eyes I used the cool grey for the base then added bark, purple grape and summer sun. Lips were brisque with bubble gum and cool grey. For the hair, I used bark, cool grey, royal blue and sky blue.

Oh! The fine liner it comes with is pretty awesome too with .4mm and .6mm tips.

Anyway, just thought I'd share it's worth checking out a vid of how these things work. It's pretty smart! Here's their FB page too: www.facebook.com/ChameleonPens
