Crayola All Grown Up
Markers & Coloring Books

Absolutely! We've put together these quick tips to help get you started with Crayola Alcohol-Based Markers:

• Test colors on scrap paper or on the included swatch card(s) before applying to your artwork.

• For the best blending experience, choose two or three markers within the same color family that share similar intensity and tonal value. Start with the darker color, then laydown the lighter color next to it. Use the lighter color’s brush end to blend and soften where the two colors meet. 

• Practice layering and blending techniques on simple shapes before tackling detailed art. 

• Uncoated paper works best.

• Lightening: It can work almost like an eraser on wet ink. Use it over wet ink to lighten areas or add highlights
• Blending: Use it where two colors meet to blur and soften the gradient between the colors.   

Alcohol-based markers naturally bleed because of their ink composition. To minimize this:

• Choose the right paper: Look for “marker paper” or “bleed-proof” options.

• Use a protective blotter sheet: Place thick scrap paper under your artwork to protect surfaces and other coloring pages behind it. 

• Apply light layers: Avoid oversaturating the paper with heavy ink.

Yes! Blending is one of the biggest advantages of alcohol-based markers. There are several ways:

Choose two or three markers within the same color family that share similar intensity and tonal value. Start with the darker color, then laydown the lighter color next to it. Use the lighter color’s brush end to blend and soften where the two colors meet. 

Alternatively, use a colorless blender marker: Helps soften edges and create smooth transitions. Use where two colors meet to blend together (included in the Crayola 40ct, 60ct, and 120ct sets). It can also be used to lighten darker areas or add highlights, operating similarly to how an eraser works. 

Layer similar shades: Start with light tones and gradually add darker ones. Allow ink to dry before adding the next layer. 

Work while wet: Blending is easiest when ink is fresh on the page.

Absolutely! Alcohol-based Markers work best on paper, but are versatile tools for many creative projects, including:

• Illustrations and comic art: Ideal for smooth shading and vibrant colors.

• Card making and scrapbooking: Adds professional-quality color to handmade crafts.

• Calligraphy and lettering: Great for bold, colorful designs.

• Mixed media art: Works well with pencils, pens, and even watercolors for layered effects.

• DIY projects: Customize items like gift tags, planner pages, home décor and decorative accents.

Just be sure to protect your work surface, and test on inconspicuous areas first to ensure you are satisfied with the outcome on the material. Crayola Alcohol-based Markers contain colorants that may stain and are permanent on most surfaces.
