As a high school art teacher and practicing artist, I highly recommend Prismas to, well, everyone! My students and I both love the results we can get using these markers, especially when combined with the Prismacolor Premier colored pencils! I personally love not only the bright vivid colors in a seemingly endless amount of colors, but also that the Prismacolor markers allow the flexibility of having two distinct line widths in one marker. Very convenient! If you've never tried them out, I highly recommend getting this started 12 pack to play around with. When you realize how much you love them (and I'm sure you will!), you can slowly start adding colors to your collection.
