I have the chameleon markers and they are really great to use. There is a practice curve and it does take longer to color your images, but if you want the seamless blend look, it is worth the extra time. Thank you for revisiting these pens!
I love my Chameleon markers and the Color Tops! I tried several other brands of alcohol markers on the market and these worked the best for me. It took a little getting used to in making the blends, but now, I have them blending seamlessly and they look terrific. One nice thing to mention, there is no odor with these...when I tried Copics, the odor of them really set off my allergies!
P R I have never smelled any door from my copics!

Hi there
I was just curious if you know where to buy the refills for the chameleon markers? I live in ontario canada..i cant find them in art stores. Just the marker sets themselves are sold at.michaels or Desseres an thats it. Having a hard time finding them. Have you bought the refills yet? Thanks for your help. Brenna :)
Like all products there is a learning curve. I have full sets of copic (my first set) I have Spectrum Noir (full set) I have Chameleon with toppers (full set as gift) The best for blending job *BAR NONE* are Chameleon with toppers once you learn to use them. They are just as fast and color theory is helpful. You NEVER get mud.
Thanks Kat that's really great to know
I'm not gonna read it
One thing that's not explained, is how do you control which color comes out?? Are you at the mercy of the pen when it decides when a different color comes out? That doesn't make sense that you can't somehow control when one color stops and the other begins. I don't get it.
TFS. This looks great- I love the fluid change in colour but all that pulling off and putting tops on would drive me crazy.
Late to the party here (for replies; had my Chameleons + Colour Tops for over a year or two?...).

I hear this 'complaint', if you can call it that, about Chameleon's about how much time it takes to use and how "slow and frustrating" it is for some people. Personally...I *LOVE* that it makes you slow down. For me at least, being forced to slow down and take a little 'pause' between colour application I find super relaxing! :) When I'm using my Blick's Studio Brush Markers (amazing, btw; yes, I have all of them as well), I find myself getting almost 'distracted' by the constant changing of colours when blending. I feel rushed...like I'm under some kind of time limit or something. I love using them, but they aren't as relaxing to me as using my Chameleons.
..
Best of Both Worlds: Use both. :) I use my Blicks for 'large base colours' (like skies, oceans/lakes, base ground cover, etc). Then go over them with my Chameleon's. Then even use my Chameleon Fineliners for some subtle cross hatching or stippling. Then use my Chameleon "dual" Coloured Pencils for any smoothing, highlighting, or what have you. Finally, any bright highlights or black-lining I need done... Posca pens.
..
Bottom line...never limit yourself to just one brand or even one type of medium. Use what looks good and gives you enjoyment. Lucky for me, Chameleons makes stuff I enjoy...constantly. :)
Great video and review! Seriously just trying to be helpful here though, not rude. You mentioned that you had trouble blending with just the pen and the clear chamber. I noticed when you were using the pink pen with just the colorless top that you turned it the other way and said that the colorless top “pulls out the ink” from the other tip. You actually are supposed to use it just the same as the other color tops and infuse the colorless blending solution into the colored pen (so the colorless blender part is on top fusing into the pink pen). Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying. Just trying to be helpful :) happy coloring!!
I have a hard time seeing the difference..but my practice looks great...
I love it. IT'S THE BEST
I have some Spectrum Noir pens and I have yet to master coloring with them. I think that the Cameleon have beautiful color range as you have shown. I’m thinking of getting the Arteza’s because of the watercolor aspect but Ive also considered the Nuvo Aquas! I’m still a bit confused as to what to get. I desperately want to learn to watercolor, I just need to get some watercolors or watercolor pens and take a class, I guess. Thank you for sharing these new color tops, Alexandra! You are such a joy to watch! Thank you for always giving such comprehensive comparisons and opinion videos! I always look forward to watching these videos because crafting products are very personal items and very few videos state that fact! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! ~ katz
Do they make the sticky grids in a MINI MISTI size?...Can we cut them down to fit?
There are thinner strips but you would have to tile them, they are easy to trim so i would suggest the larger ones and trim down to size

Love what the markers do but looks a little confusing 👧🏻
Tip to Tip ?
Yes they are designed so you can put the two tips together
very difficult to hear you in some segments of the video, especially when you are looking down.
These are too much work.
As always great video
Interesting---- not sure I would have the patience necessary!!!!
Thank you for showing how they work:-)
