I have an 11 year old who is extremely good at different types of art. for Christmas I really want to get her some really good supplies. So I've been looking at prismacolor pencils, but they have so many different types. I plan on getting the water color types, but from there I'm not sure. She really like to draw anima( w/e it's called Japanese stuff) but along with other things, so I really want to get a set that highlights and shades well any pointers????

Is your avatar a coincidence?
Or did you actually change it for this thread?

Oh we do, she really wants to be a paleontologist, since she was three, but art is her second baby that's for sure. In gifted and talented for academic and art, very scrary when you have nothing in common with one of your children, it's hard.

Get the prismacolor premier, not scholar or any of the other lines. They're awesome, pigmented, & super blendable.

Faber Castell is better...

Just get her regular prismacolors. I would skip the colored pencils though and get other stuff. The most useful tools for me is a fine tipped brush and some ink. Michaels or Hobby Lobby should have a pack that comes with about 8 colors, get that and she can make ink washes with it.
Also charcoal, both vine and compressed. A kneaded eraser. Sketchbook. Ruler.

Thank y'all so much. I kind of figured that's the pack I should get. That amazon price is amazing for prismacolor, I think everywhere else for 23 pack was 50 or more dollars.

I agree with this. Ink washes, when done right, are damn near mystical. For your daughter whatever you get her she'll need to learn. I suggest brushes and inks because it'll force her to begin learning how to paint.

She will love them! It's addictive, though. I have way too many pencils now.

Prismacolor Col-erase are super 'spensive, but they are the way, truth, and life.

Yeah she already has charcoal, and graphite pencils. I was gonna get her some canvases, water paints, acrylic pains, illustration makers, fine tip, fan tip, oil pastels, ect ect. the whole 9 yards.
Might as well do it right, might not see her for months after that, but well worth it
