But be careful not to use markers over soft pencils as they will clog your marker tip and you won't be able to use it anymore. The only thing I find to be challenging is illustrating sheer fabrics so I usually combine them with markers for that purpose. In combination with hard led pencils like Prismacolor Verithin your possibilities are endless as you can do even more gorgeous textures and add details to your work quickly. If you use soft core pencils like Prismacolor Premiere then you have the ability to blend with ease and create all kinds of textures and fabrics. They are fairly easy to start with because you can build color as you go so it is harder to mess up and you can erase and fix things easily.

Colored Pencils - My personal favorite but these are a very slow media to work with, especially when you have large areas to color.

The brand I use are Copic markers and I love them because of their wonderful brush tip as well as the range of colors available and their great blending ability.
