Prismacolor, Chisel/Fine Double-Ended 24-Color Portrait Set Premier Art Markers, Set of 24

I love Prismacolor products and these markers look like they have just what I need to do some awesome portrait work! Great range of skin tone colors along with hair and lips so portrait work should be much less stressful trying to blend these elements to perfection! 5 Stars! Delivery was VERY prompt and i'll definitely order from this vendor again!!

These markers are awesome, but the caps take some Hulking to take off. If you are a beginner, this is an expensive way to start. Try Arteza or a cheaper brand first. That said, this is a great price for Prismacolor, and they have great stuff.

Awesome product

Brilliant colors and sharp marker heads allow me to draw exactly what I envision. These encourage me to create art.

I'm in my late 40s. I first began using Prismacolor pencils when I was in high school. I've bought another set of Prismacolor markers and was pleased with their performance. I use them as a base layer for color pencil drawings to fill in color of large areas quicker. I do mostly realism and surrealism drawings of Black women, so I ordered this Portrait set for the flesh like colors. Some of the colors, particularly the lighter colors have dried up really quickly. One color seemed to be dry on the very first stroke. I've had lighter color markers dry up in the past, and I would just replace it, but some of the colors in this set I can't find available in open stock.

This set is a good addition to a any of the numbered sets prismacolor sets, or to be used as a starter set. There is a healthy range of skintones, from the yellow, pink and grey range. The complete list of colors is listed elsewhere in another review, but it contains enough to do a standard standard highlight-midtone-shadow shading for skin with decent blending and depth of tone. I was satisfied for the most part with the color selection, but notable colors that I find essential in portrait work are PM-017 Pale Peach, PM-070 Sand, PM-071 Buff, PM-080 Putty, PM-095 Light Tan are missing, as well colors for darker skins with good depth are excluded.Other than skin tones, the set contains colors for blonde hair, multipurpose darker skin/brown hair markers, peaches and pinks for lips and flushed skin, as well as a lighter blue and green, included in the set for eye colors and cool shadows.All the markers I got were wet and juicy, the colors were saturated and took well to wet blending on marker paper. As expected from prismacolor, the quality was good.Despite the somewhat understandable exclusion of additional skin tones, this set is well rounded, and can be used alone or as a compliment to others. However, the only real complaint I have, though a bit petty,is that the included stackable racks are garbage. Flimsy and not worth keeping, and even if they were, unless you memorize the numbering system you'll end up unstacking them anyways so you can read the color names. I ended up buying a prismacolor marker case, I would recommend this method.Overall, if you're interested in doing color portrait work I would recommend this set to start with, and fill it out with the colors you need.

Love them, great colors and hue values.

My wife loves them!!!
