Derwent Inktense conversion charts are finally here. In this video I’m sharing my full Derwent Inktense 100 swatch sheet along with two brand conversion charts:
• Derwent Inktense to Polychromos (71 matches)
• Derwent Inktense to Prismacolor Premier (67 matches)
If you’ve ever wondered how to convert Derwent Inktense to Polychromos or Prismacolor, how to substitute Inktense in a colour along, or how to layer coloured pencils over an Inktense base, this video will talk you through it step by step.
These charts help you:
✔ Convert Derwent Inktense colours into Polychromos Pencils
✔ Convert Derwent Inktense colours into Prismacolor Pencils
✔ Substitute Inktense if you don’t own the set
✔ Create matching coloured pencil combinations by choosing shadow and highlight colours over Inktense bases
✔ Bridge Inktense to multiple other brands using my master conversion chart
I matched colours activated. While paper type and layering will affect depth, these charts provide reliable colour family matches for layering and substitution.
I also discuss the Derwent Inktense Outliner pencil - what it is, how it behaves with water, and whether colourists actually need it.
If you're new to Inktense or would like a refresher before we begin the Inktense Colour Combination Series, I have a full Inktense for Beginners tutorial linked below.
