& color/number system helps you
choose colors that will blend nicely and
give you depth in your color range.
How to pick blending colors:
To instantly tell if a color will blend
evenly with the next darker or lighter
shade, choose markers like this:
1. Match the color letters, keeping
the color family the same.
2. Match the middle number, this will
keep the tone the same.
The last number tells you how light or
dark the shade is. For Highlights, pick a
last number with a value of 0, 1, 2, or 3.
For Mid tones, choose numbers 4, 5, or
6. For Shadows, choose colors with the
last number of 7, 8, or 9. Also try to keep
a 2 or 3 digit difference between your
colors.
Using more colors achieves
smoother blends!

more colors.
