Review-Letraset- Pro Markers-theartsycraftsy

Behold the Letraset Pro Markers range. I purchased a couple of these markers not too long ago from a local art store- Art Friend. Previously, I've purchased another range of Letraset markers too called Letraset Tria; you probably have read it about here. A little different from the Tria family that gives a light dreamy effect to your illustrations (very good for background), the Letraset Pro Markers comes in vibrant colours- bright and bold to enhance your drawings. It is twin tip, therefore quite an advantage and convenient for adding on highlights to your drawings.

You might want to know that this range somehow seem to do good for those who does a lot of 'Manga' Japanese illustrations. I guess it is because of the vibrant colours, hence it serves the manga drawing projects good, giving it outstanding results in its colours.

I decided to try it on a serviette (tissue paper as some would like to call it here), to test the vibrancy and the ink. I drew as much as I can on the napkin, I also used a yellow from the Tria range as the background to see how these two range would blend.

Result: The colours stood out on the serviette and its texture. The colour didn't seep through much, the paper didn't tear. In fact, it dried up immediately, blending well into the material as if it was part of the serviette.

I think it's worth trying out for those of you are who does alot of projects- illustrations, scrapbooking, journalling, etc.
