I would recommend the Derwent pastels bro. The dry ones!!! I could tell more on MSN if you have time! *hugs*

i personally use prismacolors, and I know several other people who use copics. One benefit of copics over prismas is you buy ink cartridges not whole new markers when one runs out, and they have a TON more colours. prismas are great though because they still cover almost all the colours I'd need with their 156ish i think it is.

I think it's like, prismas are good quality professional markers, copics are one step up from that for when you have the money lol

I thought about Prismacolor too, but I couldn't find any online store with good shipping prices ._.''
For some reason, I found Copics with better shipping price, so they would cost less in the end lol

I use Copic markers. They sell it here in Brazil and I can send you the link if you want.
I like the Copics because they have refills and are really ease o use and blend. I'm sure you'll learn how to use it in a no time.

Just saw the price on Brazil and... Geez! They're too expensive! X..x
I don't have budget for it... At least, not now...

possibly, I'm lucky that there's an art store nearby with decent prices... maybe try to see if there's an art supply store in your town/city?

It does, but... Things on Brazil are kinda overpriced "XD
That's why I'm looking for online stores outside the country.

i'm not too sure about their prices compared to ones you've seen, but many people recommend dickblick http://www.dickblick.com/categories/markers/

I hope that helps! :)

For the pastels, I would read reviews on here(and maybe search the actual forum, or ask): http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/.....ategory_id=163

I haven't had much experiences with the various pastel types, though I know Rembrandt tends be a little hard but still lays down well, and Sennelier tends to be more velvety and soft in my experience. It really depends on what you like in terms of how the various brands act, and I think a lot of artists who work in pastels mix brands.

Eeeeeeeentão~
Eu usava os gizes pastels da Acrilex, mas não curti mto (eu usava os oleosos, but still), e de markers, se vc quer uns BONS dá pra comprar da Prismacolor (separadamente e em sets de 24 cores) no MercadoLivre.com, eu tenho um set de cores secundárias, elas dão uma coloração bem sólida, mas se tens interesse em algo menos profissional (é para estudos, na real) e mais barato, procure por Magic Colors. Em alguns sites vende, tem uma range legal de cores, mas a qualidade é mais para estudantes mesmo pelo que eu pude ver~ e Dels, Copics no Brasil são um estupro. x..x'

ESSA! Era essa que a minha prima tinha! Obrigado, Silent! <3

Por nada. ^..^/
