@@aybasl5182 Not necessarily, if you really want to evaluate different brands you should draw, sketch, blend and whatever else in whatever way works best for you, this way, you know EXACTLY what to expect. Everyone has slightly different techniques but if you have bad/poor techniques to begin with then a good set of markers won't make you draw like Walt Disney. As for doing an actual consumer review or comparison that's a little different/tricky. Major differences like available colors, cost, durability etc not withstanding, it's really more of a personal preference than anything.
I own a lot of these markers. The Letraset and W&N Promarkers are exactly the same pen, even down to having the same colours. I have a Ruby marker from both versions of the branding and the colour is identical. The other markers are Letraset Tria markers. These are almost identical to the Promarkers, but they were a specific set which use Pantone colours rather than the usual Promarker colours, as well as having a third smaller nib you can use.
I think Letraset's have more ink. I believe they started making w & n promarkers in China to save money on production costs since Letraset markers are slightly longer and made in England. But other than that I own w & N and Letrasets I like both.
Winsor & Newton Brushmarker has possibly the best tip, the brush tip is amazing, better than Copics. Winsor & Newton bought Letraset so all the Promarkers have now been changed and the Brushmarkers are so much better, but Copics do have a wider range of colours.
They are really good, the brush tip is the best I have used, better than copics and they blend a lot better, certainly better than Promarkers. I am not sure if they are easy to buy where you are, for me in the UK they are pretty cheap considering, okay they are not refillable but by the time you buy a Copic marker, then the refill ink which I believe you can get roughly five refills, the W&N Brushmarkers here in the UK are £1.95 each, you could in theory have five new pens, new tips, fresh ink for the cost of one Copic and refill. The sets are a great price here in the UK, but they do not have the range of colours that Copic has, but they are excellent quality, great tips and a great price.
ArtSurroundsYouAll I actually like the Copic brush nibs better. The Winsor and Newton Markers are really good but I find them a bit too soft and floppy.
I agree,I have a 12 vibrant set of Winsor&Newton brush markers and the brush tip is astonishing and flexible I always colour in consistently. My only complaint is when you're opening the brush cap it is difficult and I get it on my hands
I love the COPICS! They are expensive as mentioned but refillable is def. the way to go for me. I get them as gifts from other people because they are so expensive. 👍🏼 Do you have a video like this for colored pencils? I know Prismacolor is the GO TO, but many other companies like Faber-Castle, Stabilo, etc. have been stepping up their game.
Hi. Just watched your Vedic. I liked your review, but my question is. I love using markers to do back ground in my coloring books. What is the best to use for getting longer usage out of them for the money. Thank you.
Hello Judy, I don't think there's a specific sketching technique that will make the markers last longer unfortunately. What you could do if you use a lot of the same colors is to get Copics and refill them. Expensive investment but would make sense long term.
Question , are most artist markers alcohol based ? Because I used markers with acrylic paint , and when I sprayed the fixative to the board the pens/ markers became smudged and ran . Can you help me with a comment ?
Whyyy are you using them like that? if you're gonna test blending you have to test them properly... just... just go watch Baylee Jay's video, it's more informative and she uses each marker for an actual illustration.
I cool how you are using the chiseled tip like that I started using the chiseled tip on my dual markers and it really helps with less streaky ness. Also helpful and cool video!
Hi SketchMonkey. Thank you so much for this review. I have been stamping for many years but using pencils, the other day I thought I would try my Promarkers. As usual left the image dry overnight but then it went smudgy with the as the ink i used for the stamping was wrong. I then changed my stamping ink to a permanent one. I am now like a child with a new colouring book and I bought a pen storage the other day and now looking for a new set of colour pens. Thanks again xx. After watching this I now know which to get. Thank you once again. Hugs and hanks wendy xx P.S. have you done a water colour pen comparison xx
I'm so happy to hear that Wendy! Thank you for sharing. I'm planning to do some watercolor videos in the future. Challenging, have not used watercolor much but it will be fun. If there's anything else I can help you with, let me know. Happy sketching!
Hi SketchMonkey. Thank you for replying. after watching this one i went to look for pens I put in Touchnew markers and plenty came up BUT there are so many different companies producing them. Which were the ones you used and does it matter what company ? Like you I have Promarkers that I have had for 20years plus and still going strong so i may stick with them. When I bought them it said they would refill and you can change the nibs but haven't seen refill or nibs, if they are going to last this long then I dont mind xx
I have ThatColor markers but the ink flow is better than yours. XD I also have its counterpart called: ThisColor and it works the same way. I can also buy them individually which allows me to test them before buying them. I also have TouchNew markers which work the same way as TouchFive. I don't have that many Copics but I try to reserve them as much as I can cause they're too valuable. XD
He isn't using the markers correctly and he is only using the chisel tip when he should be testing the brush side if it has one, his tests look crapy becouse you're wiping them across the page, that's not how alcohol markers blend. nobody should take his review seriously and should look for one that gives actual information about each marker and that knows how to use them.
I like the purple at the bottom from the Prismacolor it has a nice saturated color. The TouchNew seem a bit dark. The Touch turned out great as well as Copic. And last ones are crap :D
They're called "Thatcolor" because when you use them you say "hey these are THIS color, but I wanted THATcolor"
lol man
Everyones complaining, i don't see why. This video actually helped me to see if i wanted any of these brands
because he doesnt even know what brand he is using, and if you are doing a marker review you should do the blending properly :S

Oh but people love a good complain, dont they?
I got my first promarkers in 2002,and those I didnt use much are still working today (16 years now!!) thats really insane 😃 Nice video by the way 👍
The prismacolor markers are double sided, it’s not just the chisel nib
With prismacolor markers you get a chisel and a bullet or a brush and a bullet. They are the same price
He colors like a printer 😂
... Why did you not check the marker before you used it? That clearly wasn't letraset
Not to forget that Letraset and Promarker the same. xD
they are winsor and newton now.
Mac Pomeroy I thought it was odd too. Considering he did have promarker. Which is letraset.

You put the prismacolor in the letreset... dude...
You can get refill ink for the Touch markers. And it´s possible to buy them seperatly.
Does it work the same as Touchnew?
@@JoKoBod yea they're even numbered the same
I just got delivered the touch new markers today and if you actually try you can blend it way better that you can’t even see it’s coloured in

Winsor & Newton bought Letraset so all the Promarkers have now been changed and the Brushmarkers are so much better, but Copics do have a wider range of colours.

+ArtSurroundsYouAll Buying a copic refill for me was over £11.00
Guy's I don't know which one to get should i get Touchfive or Touch markers
Thank you so much i was looking forward to buy markers to fill my anime sketches and I'm buying touch markers only 12 marker set for trial.
Which is better touch new or touch the black☺☺
10:45 Great markers, I wanna get them as soon as possible! Long lasting, cheap, great color and combinations!
What are your thoughts on Xylene based markers like Chartpak AD Markers?
I love the COPICS! They are expensive as mentioned but refillable is def. the way to go for me. I get them as gifts from other people because they are so expensive. 👍🏼 Do you have a video like this for colored pencils?

Yeah refillable is a good selling point for them. Don't have any colored pencils except for white ones, haven't really used pencils in general
ok confused u used the prismacolor in the letraset block.... horrible start to the video and people are watching to gain knowledge
Thanks man for this tip

Omg he faked the ones he didn’t like
When
Question , are most artist markers alcohol based ? Because I used markers with acrylic paint , and when I sprayed the fixative to the board the pens/ markers became smudged and ran . Can you help me with a comment ?
A lot of markers used for blending are alcohol based, but I'm sure there are some water based ones you could find. Hope this helps!
you can get water based ohuhu artist pens off amazon. they also have the sought out brush nib
How about touch cool? What do you guys think of that??
I think that the Touchnew Markers are better then some so called top markers as far as there performance...
Whyyy are you using them like that? if you're gonna test blending you have to test them properly... just... just go watch Baylee Jay's video, it's more informative and she uses each marker for an actual illustration.
Well it works
Just because somebody else is blending a different way from *One* youtuber doesn't mean it isn't the *Right way* to blend.
I cool how you are using the chiseled tip like that I started using the chiseled tip on my dual markers and it really helps with less streaky ness. Also helpful and cool video!
I still have design markers from 1983 from my high school Art and Design and they still work.
Some of them seem to last forever
Copic is the best in my opinion

Try Ohohu please.
Try touch five it literally makes me wanna draw more😁
you didn't use letraset, you used prismacolor
Thank you this was extremely helpful.
Promarker also has an other brand: brushmarker, those are just promarkers, but with brushtips
Thank you A LOT
What do you think about Kuretake kuracolor markers ?
Going to order touch😁
You can actually refill promarkers using a scalpel and a set of pliers
I have ThatColor markers but the ink flow is better than yours. XD I also have its counterpart called: ThisColor and it works the same way. I can also buy them individually which allows me to test them before buying them.
I also have TouchNew markers which work the same way as TouchFive. I don't have that many Copics but I try to reserve them as much as I can cause they're too valuable. XD
he always uses the broad tip...
And..? Got a problem?
GachaPastell isn’t it easier to use and blend with the other tip....
what do you think about the chatpack markers?
Smelly!
Woah I just randomly came across your channel and I’m glad I did!
Simple : buy copic
gero al pedo well if you're a billionaire that's great
Charlie Jakob I'm not a billionaire and I have copics.
Catfurr Creations not all of us have enought money for copics, ehem.
Chartpaks are great too
Only I have a few copics, and I have touch new, honestly the touch new are my babies, they work just as good as copics
DUDE, how are you not measuring the coffee O.O .....!?
Experience
Coptic and TOUCHNEW where the best
Marouane give Stylefile Marker would like you to check it out make a comparison with copic
are thise touch five?
Uhh i got touch five markers, have i got a ripoff version?
Touch is the ORIGINALS bit they have the copycat versions touchnew, touchfive, touchlite, and touchthree
I have touch five and they work just as good
This would’ve been so good if you used both sides!
How about kurecolor?
Used Prismacolour markers in letraset slot.
Used Letraset promarkers in their slot.
How about we get into the actual video before we start with biases. You weren't even into the first ine before you determined you didn't like it.
USE BOTH SIDES. The whole point of the video was to help choose but with only half evidence, it cannot be valid. Total waste of time people!
Sorry to have wasted your time Nina! :)
Thank you for the review :)
Make next video on front view of car like perspective with pencil ...
I use to be a Gevalia fanatic.
Can you try ohuhu markers?
Possibly one day!
You have ThatColour marker and I have ThisColour Markers 😅

I can get what you mean, buy I think that the test is made in that way, because is more industrial design sketching focused and no in artistic way...
I like the purple at the bottom from the Prismacolor it has a nice saturated color. The TouchNew seem a bit dark. The Touch turned out great as well as Copic. And last ones are crap :D
That's pretty much it!
The way he says copic
Reeeeeee use the brush tip
You know there’s two sides
Copic has a brush nib
COPIC....
its prismacolor not letraset
Molotow?????????
Elol your promarkers are older than my brother
You need to check how to pronounce “Copic”.
Ugh its so unsatisfying
