5Nothing is perfect, but this is dang close!
By Smeequat
If you are a hardcore traditional artist, or even a digital artist who just loves that oh-so-smooth look...Prismacolor markers are for you.

They not only glide like a dream, they BLEND with each other. That's right, run a blue Prisma marker over a purple Prisma marker and you will get a violet color. Very useful and fun for any kind of artwork, and the one major up comparing these to colored pencils is that Prismacolor markers don't smudge. Sweeeeeet.

It's strongly suggested you get marker pads (a type of thick paper) with this product, since it supports the color of the marker a lot better and uses up less ink than regular paper.

A bit expensive, of course, but with a high-quality product like this, you couldn't expect any less. A definate buy for an artist wanting to get more diverse in their work beyond the basic pen and pencil.

(Oh, and if you like these, be sure to check out Prismacolor Colored Pencils!)

4cheap, and a great place to start
By Memory Anemone
I bought the 24 set from amazon and these are some pretty good markers for the price. They indeed deliver rich and vibrant colors. They might not be huge professional markers (like copic markers) but still are way cheaper for the people who don't have that kind of budget.

There are only a few things I have to complain about these markers. The color labels are misleading, and the marker's color is usually a lot darker than what it says on the label, but that isn't too much of a problem. Second, they don't blend as well. You'll still see streaks, but they still overall blend a lot better than regular markers.

If you're thinking about buying the 24 set, you won't get too much of a variety of colors, since they mostly come with primary and secondary colors, which are the basic of the basic. Like the other reviewers said, you might want to get some grays for shading. Also, if you draw human figures a lot, a set of skin tones is a must. The 24 pack only co mes with one skin tone (peach) and that won't look good enough. Since I'm an illustrator, I draw human characters a lot, so I had to go out and buy some skin shades.

Also, these will bleed quite a lot on regular paper. You might want to get marker paper to keep it from bleeding so much and not waste too much ink.

Is this a top professional marker? well, no, but is this a good place to start for beginners who are leaning towards being a serious artist and want to use something other than regular markers? absolutely.

4A cheap alternative
By H. C. Hayes
I've been using Prismacolor Markers for five years now, and I've never needed anything more than them. They're a cheap alternative to Copics, which are better in quality sure, but are much more expensive. There's also a bit more of a color variety for Copics, but Prismas cover the basics.
The one thing you learn to hate about them is how badly they bleed. If you're drawing in a sketchbook, unless you want the three pages behind it to be colored as well, you have to place paper beneath it. I've learned that two to three sheets of scrap paper work just fine. The second problem I've ran into with them is that there's a bit of a color difference in both nibs. The broad nib colors a bit darker, and bleeds much heavier than the fine end. But I suppose that's to be expected.
If you're on a budget and you just want a set of markers that aren't Crayola, I'd recommend these. If you're a hardcore wannabe Mangaka or Comic Artist, I'd go with the Copics if you can afford the m.

Myself, I'm a casual artist that draws for fun and nothing else. If you're like me, these will work just fine for you.
