I thought I'd just add a wee note to let you know where I get my promarkers from, I have found the best deal from Angela at Angel Crafts who, as well as selling the 5-packs, also sells larger packs, and singles - and the best value bulk buys I've found in the UK.
If you are just starting out with promarkers I would recommend the skin tones pack containing Ivory, Satin, Blush, Dusky Pink, Cinnamon, its an absolute must for your collection.
I personally, would recommend buying 3 colours from a colour family and that way you can pick and choose which and how many colour families you buy depending on your budget
I am going to list some selections that I would recommend for beginners and those on tight budgets, I have selected them especially for easy blending and giving as wide a scope as possible with a limited number of pens.
Browns: Sandstone, Cocoa, Burnt Umber, Umber (the 5th colour, cinnamon is in the skin tones pack)
Oranges: Apricot, Pumpkin, Mandarin
Yellows: Pastel Yellow, Mustard, Canary
Greens: Meadow Green, Apple, Grass
Blues: Blue Pearl, Cornflower, China Blue
Purples: Lavender, Lilac, Amethyst
Pinks: Blossom, Rose Pink (the 3rd colour, Dusky Pink is in the skin tones pack)
Greys: Warm Grey 1,3, and 5
So for instance you could buy the skin tones plus the browns, greens and blues all for a total of £15.95 (bulk buy) + £7.45 (skin tones) = £23.40
I hope this is of some help

Debbie, this has been so helpful even though I own them all!! I followed your how to's and then tried all the colour combos you suggest here (not always using them in the correct order unfortunately!) and my images look fab. You deserve a medal for this as my designs will look so much better from now on.
Thanks a bunch and keep up the fab blog.

wow great tips, thanks for the great tutorials xx
Hi Debz
Thanks for such a great tip. I have been toying with promarkers and copics but after entering the passion for promarkers I have decided on these. As with most people a tight budget is the key to buying the most effective markers and I just didn't know where to start! Your blog has given me this - thanks!
I have also been buying them every few weeks for the challenges, which is also a great way to add to your collection - only thing is I keep missing the deadlines! - But on a positive note - my promarkers collection is increasing!
Thanks again
Big Hugs

Hiya Debbi
Newby here - have faffed around and, after seeing your list of colours to get, have gone for two bulk buys (they didnt have the skin colours so have bought these via bulk buy too!). Thanks so much for listing these - have tried to buy a couple of times but just never been able to get anything because of the choice!
Thanks again
