Comments about Blick Studio Marker Sets:

These markers perform as well as my Prismacolor markers at a significant cost savings. The colors are true and layer nicely with my existing collection of Prismacolors. I'm very happy with my purchase as an amateur artist.

Vivid and solid colors! My students are very happy with these markers!

Comments about Blick Studio Marker Sets:

I bought these for an art class I was teaching for 5th grade.
Well, when doing the sample for them, I fell in love!

I don't have another brand, but I wouldn't trade these fro the world. I'm totally geeking out on these! I can't get enough.

NOW: Those who don't like them...are you using the suggested Dura-lar *the acetate alternative*?

Comments about Blick Studio Marker Sets:

really? they look EXACTLY like prismacolors. its ridiculous. they are no better quality than prismacolors, and even though it says "proffesional quality markers at an affordable price" they are not. now, i'm not saying i hate them at all. in fact they're great if you're just starting out as a beginer marker or manga artist, just an average joe, looking for a good (not top) quality marker to get started. it is NOT a professional marker. when i looked at the price, they cost about 10 $ less than prismacolor and 20 less than copics. put a couple extra bucks in and you'll be amazed. all in all they're good for beginers with experience.

I bought the 24 marker set for my son for Christmas. Needless to say he was really pleased at the quality of these pens, and compared them to the Prismacolor pens that he originally wanted. He felt that the are just as good and they were a great value for me because they were remarkably cheaper than the Prismacolor markers. Thank you for making a great set of markers for my son to enjoy at an exceptional value.

Comments about Blick Studio Marker Sets:

It's crazy how similar these are to prismacolors and how much cheaper they are! I mean the nibs are a bit different but it's not really remarkable enough for me to complain.

I didn't get any fuzzy edges like others who reviewed, but I bought mine from the store directly. I did see one with a fuzzy nib in the store, but it seems more of a random thing than an overall reflection of quality. Don't let it turn you away from getting these markers.

All in all, I'm going to be buying Blick markers for a /long/ time.

Comments about Blick Studio Marker Sets:

Seem to be kind of hit or miss. On some of the markers I have, the color comes out super dark out of one end, but very light on the other--so you have to shake the marker or scribble with it a decent amount to get it to even up. On some, the color never evens out and I have to struggle to color tiny details with the thick end, or color large spaces with the thin end.

Some of the colors are fine though and don't present this problem--I've mostly had it with different shades of brown.

These markers are about the same quality as the expensive Prismacolor markers! I they work just the same but these markers are much cheaper. The black is translucent but I love that.

Comments about Blick Studio Marker Sets:

This was my first set of markers for illustration. I wanted to start out with something fairly inexpensive because I hadn't really worked with markers before, so I opted for the set of 48 (I had a 40% off one item coupon, so this was the perfect way to spend that!). I'm a student studying production design for film, and one of the classes I was taking last semester was rendering techniques. We worked a fair amount in markers, and I was pretty impressed with my set. They don't blend quite as well as the prismacolors, but are still a really solid value. I also do illustrations, and I really love the way these markers work. I wish that the fine point was a little bit finer, but overall they work really well. I have had these markers for about 5 months now haven't had any problems with them. The colors are really nice and vibrant, and the quality of the product is definitely solid. I plan on buying more blick markers to expand my set.

I'm a high school student who likes to save money, and these markers are great! I bought the 24 set as an alternative to copics, and I got more markers at a very nice quality for a good price. I am just starting out with this medium and think Blicks are a good way to learn to use markers.

The color labels on the markers are rather inaccurate, I would suggest making your own color chart.
