I also found an option to buy individual pencils openstock (mostly skin tones) as the Polychromos 120 set doesn’t contain many skinton color pencils

I use Prismacolor Premiere. It was over £200 for the largest set they did. People look at my work and are surprised it's not ink.

I used Prismas the longest and they’re pretty good aside from the fact the points break due to the formula being so soft! I’m primarily a marker artist now and use color pencils to smooth out blending I can’t achieve with markers. Artwork looks amazing, I like the creepy and cute aesthetic you went for.

Oh yeah I have to use Derwent pencils for ground/sky colours as I'd blitz through a Prismacolor pencil if I was to use it for a big amount of colouring.

What line of derwent color pencils? They came out with a lightfast variety to compete with Luminance a couple years back.

Water colour I think, but I never put them near water. Much like a Gremlin.

I used to use the watercolor based color pencils from Caran D'ache. They are very fun to use since you can mix the colors very well. That was years ago though, they were expensive even then and i have no idea of the price now.

@Raggamuffin i was watching a YouTube video by an art YouTuber I look up to and she briefly mentioned a Gremlins reference!
