Sharpie Christmas ATC

Do Sharpies come in flesh tones? I keep meaning to check them out when I go to the craft store.

To be honest I have no idea blackeyedsusan! I have only just found a pack of twelve the other day and they didn't have a fleshy tone in, but I doubt I'd find it here in the UK even if there was one.

I did find this on Ebay though and there looks likes there's a peachy and pinky tone avaliable but I'm not sure how widely avaliable, or how close to flesh they are!

I've resorted to using watercolour when doing a Sharpie drawings that require flesh tone.

yea theres one that looks kind of like a pastel orange (it comes with the pastel looking sharpies pink, green, blue purple and the orange) and its pretty close to peach on paper (: thats what i use for my flesh tones when i use sharpie anyway..

yes i believe you can find a fleshtone in prisma colors

There are two orange-y pastel-colored ones -- one named "peach" and another named "tangerine." There's also, of course, brown, and there's one called "almond" that's sort of a medium-toned tannish color. That one's somewhat difficult to find. I started seeing that one about two summers ago, packaged with colors named "blue ice," "pink lemonade," "kiwi" and "boysenberry."

There are also some "wood tones," I think they're called, that are sold in packs of three -- a dark brown, a medium-brown and a light-brown. I've seen those in hardware stores more than I've seen them anywhere else. I think they're sold primarily for purposes of doing minor touch-ups to scratched wooden floors, furniture, etc.

Thanks everyone. I'll probably sign up at the last minute. I haven't used Sharpies except on Shrinky Dinks. I'm definitely a newbie to Sharpies and I don't want to disappoint anyone. It sounds like fun and I like to try new techniques.

Hope everyone enjoyed this swap, should anyone experience any problems please let me know.
