Time for your weekly dose of Marker Geekery! 🙂
Today’s Marker Geek Monday post is a bit of a follow up to last week’s post, in which I talked a little about keeping things simple and also about finding comparable colours in other marker brands. This week I am revisiting the same image ROW OF BUNNY WOBBLES, keeping the colouring simple again and also providing some colour matching info for Copic Markers & Pro Markers.
Winsor & Newton ProMarkers happen to be one of the brands of marker that I own a selection of, alongside my Copic markers. Since I had a little difficulty finding colour comparisons between the two for last week’s post, I thought I would spend a little time playing with the markers and come up with some suggestions of my own. I don’t own a complete set of ProMarkers, so this information is based on the selection I do have available. I have created a colour match chart which you will find at the end of this post.
ProMarker Colour Map
A few observations I made while testing out the ProMarkers and colouring the ROW OF BUNNY WOBBLES image:
ProMarker & Copic Marker Colour Match Suggestions
Here is a handy reference chart I came up with based on my comparisons of the ProMarkers I had available with my Copic marker collection. Please bear in mind that the appearance of colours will be affected by a number of factors, including the tone of the paper you colour on and your colouring style. As such, these are suggestions based on my own observations, which I hope you will find helpful.
Other Alcohol Based Marker Brands
As soon as I can, I will be working on some similar information for other marker brands that I have available to me, so please watch this space!
Spectrum Noir users may find THIS CHART created by Corinne Jones and Irene Sherman useful!

Thanks! Love the comparison and thanks for adding us Spectrum Noir users.
Oh I do love this series! I need all the help I can get! 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing. I don’t have any other markers than Copics but will keep this handy in case I ever get any. Thanks again for sharing your coloring tips ! 🙂
Great coloring! I love how you didn’t make them your typical bunny colors and when I do mine, because I have that stamp, I will do them in fun colors too! Thanks for all the info.
I would love to see a comparison chart for Shinhan markers.
Hi Jes,
You will, as soon as I get my hands on some much needed refills! I have a lot of experience with the ShinHan markers as I used to be on their design team. 🙂 So, watch this space!
LOVE Marker Geek Mondays, Elaine! Your tips are amazing! Please keep them coming!!! I can’t wait for the comparison with Shinhan Markers – I have Copics galore but I also have a decent amount of Shinhan too! It’s an illness LOL!
Thanks again for another helpful post Elaine… this is going to be very useful!
Hugs

Was looking all over for something like this. TFS!
Please can you add a comparison for greys (Copic/Promarker)?
I’m really struggling to do the gnome beards with my Promarkers and can’t afford to buy Copics 🙁
Many thanks 🙂
Hi Vicky, unfortunately I no longer have any Promarkers, and just don’t have the free time to create content for different brands of marker. Is it the colour selection you struggle with? ~Elaineabella
