Prismacolor Colored Pencils (48)
Prismacolor Colored pencils are a great medium for artists of any experience. The best set to invest in is the 48 set. A colorless blender pencil comes with the set, allowing you to blend your colors together. The downside to these pencils, is that if the points are too sharp, they break easy. The box folds into an upright case.

Prismacolor Markers (24)
Prismacolor markers---my favorites. These markers are alchohol based, and do not have streaks, or blots like offbrand, cheaper markers do. Prisma. markers half four line widths, and two tips: a fine tip, and a broad side. I do NOT recommend these markers for beginners. Not only are they pricey, but it takes a while to learn how to use them. Don't listen when people tell you to invest in the LARGE set. A 24 set will do you good. Buy flesh tones separately.
Set of 24: $82.99
