here are art products i reco as an artist myself :D feel free to use this list as a reference in buying quality materials to help make your money worth it 🫂
very pigmented type of acrylic marker which makes it easy to layer colors for rendering 🌟 dual-tip so different types of tip in one pen! (brush and round) 🤩
pigmented, can layer, and slightly cheaper than the dual tip one, because this only has one round tip. i really recommend MW markers to those who like rendering and drawing over colors or different type of surfaces 🖌️
Miracle Works Acrylic Marker
in using markers and paints, a thick paper is a must have to avoid damaging the paper as you layer so i recommend having watercolor notebook/paper like this one! :)
Fuxi Watercolor Notebook 8.5x11, 140lb Cold Press
gouache paints are the best if you like to have a paint which is like in between of having watercolor and acrylic characteristics. for me, its easy to master this since its flexible and really great for beginners!
HIMI Gouache Paint Set, 48 Colors
i use this (the skintone set) for characters. it has the perfect shade for skin, skin shadow, blush. you can get shades that are matching for every set and i really find that useful 😊
