Prismacolor Model Sheet Commissions - 4 Slots!
Prismacolor Model Sheet Commissions - 5 Slots!
—-
Hello again everyone! I’m launching an experimental type of commission that’s been brewing for quite some time now - Prismacolor Model Sheets! As you may’ve seen from last year, I’ve started branching out into traditional art techniques and options at a greater scale than before.
Prismacolor markers are a really fantastic brand, but, as they’ve become harder to find at common art suppliers, I was originally only offering this option to a handful of clients privately. This allowed me to experiment, learn, and grow in my use of the markers, especially when it came to learning which types of paper and other supplies played best with the markers - some things could wreck havoc on the pigment supply and tint, while others worked out perfectly.
Now, with the experience I’ve gained from the private commissions, I am pleased to announce that I am now doing a limited run of Prismacolor commissions publicly, as model sheets!
The very first one of these was done for the ever-wonderful Nickel-Cat_Engine back in July of last year, which can be found here:
Nickel Model Sheet - Many Gains Later
I’ll have a few more model sheets rolling out to share tonight, but the one I’ve linked gives you a good idea of what things will look like! The sheet will come with a handy key of the colors used for future reference in any other work done with these materials.
If you’re interested in claiming a slot, feel free to contact me at any of the following:

Now, seeing as these are traditional works, the materials used will play a heavy part - should you be interested, here’s some basic information on the materials, their costs, and how they’d affect the final product.
First, comes the paper…
Marker Paper (+$0) -
For this commission type, I am offering a version on 9 x 12 inch Canson Marker Paper for $120 - In short, this is a light, easily blend-able paper.
This paper is the standard for my Model Sheets, allowing for either a relaxed, blended look, while still allowing the sharpness of the ink to shine through. It is a very light weight of paper by comparison to the Bristol board, so extra care must be taken when shipping or handling this piece - then again, it is art, so one should be careful with it in any case.
Bristol Board (+$10) -
I am also offering these on 9 x 12 inch Canson Recycled Bristol Board for $130 - it is of a greater weight, and generally sturdier type of paper.
This paper is grittier and heavier than the Marker Paper, allowing for deeper pigments at the cost of slightly reduced blending capabilities and a greater time spent on the overall color job. Ink turns out the best on this paper, although, it consumes a greater amount of pigment when compared to standard Marker paper. It is much firmer, making it ideal for shipping.
Then, comes the inkwork…
Standard Pen (+$0) - This is what I used for the majority of the model sheets, with the exception of the Holt piece that I did for this one. This lends a firm look to the lines of the pieces, and is the more traditional option. Clients would be able to choose from a variety of thicknesses, although my standard pen for this kind of work is the Stadeler chisel tip, a thicker pen that tends to smudge less with Prismacolor pieces. Gelly Roll colored pens are also available for slight touchups (eye shines, metallic effects, etc.) There would be no upcharge for this type of linework.
Blended Marker (+$0) - The blended marker look is what I used for the model sheets of Holt used in this advertisement. This is more experimental form of the linework that gives a piece a softer, more painterly look. This stands out especially well against most fur textures and belly shapes, as the linework becomes a natural part of the shading of the rest of the piece. There would be no upcharge for this type of linework.
And, last but not least, background options…
Simple Border (+$0) - A border of a solid color or gradient can add some extra flair to a piece, but will not lead to any upcharge.
Detailed Border (+$10) - A border of props, items, or a detailed design will have a slight upcharge, and can be colored to the client’s liking. An example of this kind of border can be found on Holt’s old reference sheet, found here:
Holt Reference Sheet 2024
Solid Background (+$10) - A solid background color or a simple gradient, as seen in the above reference sheet, will be an additional charge of $10 due to the amount of pigment it would consume. Still an option, to be certain!
Full Background (+$30) - A full background would be welcome, but, due to the detail and complications that may arise from it, it would cost $30.
If you’re interested and have any questions, please feel free to let me know!

I do, yes! Thank you - I’m hoping all goes well with these! Yes, I’m afraid Prismacolors have become a bit uncommon. From what I’ve heard, the company was bought up and offshored their production, cutting most markers out of the business, and prioritizing the colored pencils over all else. The last place I was able to find them locally had only skin tones marked off at a discount due to lack of stock.
Everywhere online has them at a huuugggeee markup at this point, with the exception of some small sellers once in a while. The brush tips are near-impossible to find, and the chisel-tips have become scarce, too. And, by nature of these remaining sets being older, many have started to dry out, as they rely on alcohol.
The biggest issue is that you can’t get refills and replacements for individual markers anymore - there are a handful of markers (PM-70 Sand, PM 150-Tuscan Red, etc.) that I use all the time, and are likely to wear out earlier than the rest. The best option at when a marker starts to die is to refill the alcohol yourself using near-pure alcohol, which is a bit of a haphazard and time-consuming process, speaking from experience, and while it extends the lifespan, it dilutes the pigment.
