Prisma pencil are WONDERFUL. It's the only pencil I've found that you can put light over dark and layer the colors. I've seen work with them that looks like a photograph. My work is not that good, but I sure enjoy them. There is also a prismacolor stick (the color in block=stick form without the wood) and I use them for blocking in large areas and finish up with the pencil when I need a hard edge look. I also use them for the focus area and use pastels for the softer areas.

Prismacolors are very expensive pencils, they are high quality and soft. If you want to do fashion sketches I would suggest buying a 24 set of markers by prismacolor (Cost will be around 30-40$). Markers are fast and have a great style for fashion design sketches. Also cheap colored pencils combined with markers look good as well. Check out other fashion designer's portfolio's at
This should give you a general idea as to what style you may like. Good luck on your projects!

There's this guy on ebay selling 300 (all different colors and all brand new) for like $10.]
I just bought some Prismacolor markers from him about two weeks ago.
search lotsofjobslots (that's his ebay seller username).
Prismacolor can be really expensive. You should definitely look somewhere like ebay before you go and buy them for the actual price.

Not sure on the price but they are pretty expensive. The have good color but from what ive heard they break really easy and the lead practically falls out. Im fairly certain that they are good for fashion sketchs

Depends on the type of pencil. I've seen some that are $4, and other's up to $110. I tried some $10, and they worked pretty good.
