The Cretacolor Artist Studio is a kit which will make your heart jump! I think there’s all in it a starter would need to try different techniques! There is little sketching set included, a set of colored pencils, a set of water soluable pencils, a kit of graphite pencils, gold&silver and also a paper stump. it’s coming in a big metal box which makes it look quite expensive. In my case they were on sale in the internet and did only cost 20 Euros each (I had to buy 2 because of this price). The only thing you would need additionally is drawing paper 🙂
Until I’ve not tried out them very much because I still have sooo many things and I’m one of these persons who only change the art supplies if I’m not satisfied with the ones I’m using or the ones I’m using are empty or lost or broken 🙂
