Cheap Prismacolor Marker Set/156

Customer Ratings:

I recently bought the whole 156 marker set on a splurge, and I love them. I am not an artist and am just using these to color. The prices here are less than half of what you might pay retail though, so this is a good place to get more than what you might normally be able to afford.

I took up coloring recently while recovering from an illness, and I was using Crayola and then another brand of markers. They dried out fast and didn't provide even coverage, and most of the markers did not have sharp tips. I heard these were good and tried a small pack from a store, and really liked these.

These do not dry out in use (I've never left one uncapped, but while doing a large area, I've never had the amount of ink flowing from the marker diminish), they provide smooth, even coverage enough so that you can't even see the edges overlap when it dries, and you can add a second layer for a deeper effect. Plus you have four different edges, from a sharp point to a really wide point for filling in large areas.

There are a wide range of colors, including pastels, which I had begun to think didn't exist. There are even skin tones, something I couldn't find in the water based markers. All of the colors are rich looking.

I am just really impressed with these markers and having a lot of fun with them.

I wanted the whole 156 markers deal. What I got was 12 colors missing and replaced by double colors for yellow, red and blue. This is very disappointing. For over $300 I would expect at least the full set.
