3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Markers, a few downsides..., August 14, 2006

Prismacolors are nice markers. They aren't the BEST, but they certainly are good for beginners and novices. They are nicely blendable, come in an array of colors, and are double-tipped. They are shaped nicely too, so they are easy to control.

The downsides are as followed:
1. They tend to bleed a little.
2. This set comes with an unbalanced array of colors. There is 1 red, 5 shades of pink, 3 oranges, about 14 skin tones, 3 yellow, 7 shades of green, 2 very distinctly different purples, and 8 blues. It also comes with 2 metallic and 1 black. The others are colors inbetween. This set is best for drawing human figures. The first two rows of the tray are various skin tones. There are no grays nor whites.
3. The tray isn't all that great. Assembly is a bit confusing, and it doesn't stay together as well as it could.

In conclusion, these markers are very nice, although this set should be used soley for drawing bodies or even fashion design. The tray is not worth much more than $5, so if you aren't pressed for space and absolutely need it, buy the set without the tray. It's much cheaper and still worth it.

I've used these markers for a while now and they've been nice. They aren't the top of the line and they do tend to bleed but they are great for getting started. I would recommend them to anyone just starting out with markers.
