Are there any artists here who can recommend a slightly nice set of markers that don't cost upwards of $400? <cite>Uglyface2 posted [p:970284558] in Looking fo...

POSCA brand markers are fun to play with, they're totally opaque, $30-50. Tombow makes some Dual Brush Pens that are essentially water-based markers. There's a detail pen and a brush pen on each one. $25 per set, pick groups of colors you think she'll like. I spent hours coloring in rubber stamp images with these when I was her age. Michael's brand Artist's Loft has a set of 12 Color Dual Tip Sketch Markers if you wanna give her the feel of fancy Prismas or COPICs for a lower cost. They're alcohol based markers and she'll have plenty of fun with them. $50. Sharpies are honestly fine for most projects [but maybe not for a 6 year old??]. Fine tip would be good for developing her fine motor skills! $20. --- Until our souls cross paths once more in the boundless sphere of fate. <cite>Llarian posted [p:970284877] in Looking fo...
