How to do it

1 You might want to make a colour chart before you start drawing with the markers. First colour the square with one layer.

2 Now colour half the square with two layers.

3 Write the marker number where there is one layer. Write the marker number followed by a plus (+) where there are multiple layers. Do this for all colours.

4 Write 10+ under the one with multiple layers.

5 This is what the colour chart looks like when all markers have been used.

6 Now make another colour chart with colour combinations. Start by colouring two thirds of the square from left to right (in this example, colour 16 is used).

7 Now take the second colour, which is 31 in this example, and shade two thirds of the square from the middle to the right.

8 Write the number of each marker according to the colour. In this example, the marker used first was 16 , so 16+31 shows the colour that results when the two colours are mixed. The final colour is 31. The guide contains mixed colours, such as 16-31.
