**Caran d'Ache Fibralo Markers Set of 15 - Premium Artist Markers for Drawing, Sketching & Illustration (185.315) - Ideal for Professionals & Hobbyists**

This is a very good markers set but I must say that it is not what I expected. I have watercolor crayons and pencils that work very well for me but these markers, while they are of very good quality with alot of pigment, they don't blend as well as other other forms I've mentioned. If you are an artist that is into coloring their comic or cartoon characters and art, then is type of marker would probably be for you. It seems that these markers don't easily spread when water is added but they do blend well with each other well. With water color crayons and pencils, a little color spreads very easily with water and these marker do not have that same effect. For example, I used the marker to color in a red brick wall by adding highlights of different browns mixed with mostly red and it looked very nice although a bit cartoonish. But coloring a drawing of stain glass was hard because the marker is so deep and sharp that it does not blend into or fade out in to the paper's white background. I had to use watercolor crayons instead to achieve this effect. There is no control for shading your art. I also would not recommend you buy this as a toy because they are more costly than your average marker.
