Ok thanks! Not sure how my parents will feel about it though if I need to buy it online. My parents are anti- web shopping

You'll often find markers in art supply stores, so you might want to check out that possibility if the web is not an option.

They are fun to work with, but I know they've changed their style recently. It looked like Piney had the newer ones (none of mine are even brushes... //shot) but I have no idea how those ones are :0

Yeah, most of my newer ones are brush-tips!

I like them because they make really smooth lines and you can use them like brush pens. [Examples from my AP portfolio from senior year]

So the tips are like paint brushes?

No, these are markers

Nah, these particular ones have tips shaped like brushes, but it's made out of some rubbery material: (tip on the left)

They have in-store locations at places at like Michael's (a craft store chain for Florida at least) or art supply stores, so if that's the main problem, don't let it stop you (• w ´• )ᕤ


Oops, fimby ninja'd me B)

Piney, those are really cool! They do look fun to work with, but I'm mainly colored pencil-based at this point.



.....speeeeeaking of which................

I LOVE COLORED PENCILS

I have the biggest set of Prismacolor softcore colored pencils and they are heaven to work with. Super soft and really blendable with so much color and variety I LOVE THEM SO MUCH almost as much as I love Microns and that's saying something

Wow that's a lot of color pencils

After all the awesomeness in this thread, have something entirely anti-climatic: my water colour set. I wasn't even sure if this was worth posting here but eh heh heh...

What's the tube on the far right for? Is it a white color?

[Piney]

Not sure what you mean when you say felt pens, but if you mean felt-tip, then no - these are bigger and rubbery (meaning they bend, like a brush).

Ohoho, my senior non-AP portfolio was almost exclusively colored-pencil based. _{(I'm just showing off, sorry)} Downside though, I'm lost with colored pencils if I'm not working from a photo. I have the 24-set and the portrait set, and my original 12-set.

Yes, it's white and it's a little "stronger" than the others (apologies, I've no idea how to explain this in English) so it actually shows as white even if painted over other colours.

Eeeee, I'm surprised there aren't more! You have such a great variety of colors in your art that I expected like, four or five more there at least - a testament to your hella great skills

Piney those are really cool too! I haven't used colored pencils for any realism, only pencils and paints (acrylics and oils and soon to be watercolors too), so ehehehe I haven't used any color reference for whatever I've done with them so far. They're just lovely to work with and gOLLY

Would the word you're looking for be opaque? :0

Huh. What's the difference between water colour tubes and the solid block ones?
