New Tutorial: We put our new marker studio to work

1980s style comic character created with alcohol markers

We built Chromatone to feel like a real marker studio inside Procreate, Photoshop, and coming soon, Affinity.

In this walkthrough, you’ll see it in action from rough sketch to final render. Complete with layered color, streaky texture, imperfect edges, and that analog marker charm.

So, if you you haven't yet, grab your copy of Chromatone and start experimenting with the techniques in the tutorial!
