Just be careful of how you store it- markers aren't light fast. I wouldn't like to see this dull off! D:

Oh gosh. Hadn't thought of that. >.< Most of the stuff here at home is safe, because it tends to be stored in sketchpads and have a pile of other paper and two hard covers between it and the light. But once in awhile I make a sale, and have no idea how the customer stores it... I'd hate for a piece to get worse over time while it's in the house of somebody who paid for it.

    Mostly safe unless it's light fast Smile I like using my Polychromos coloured pencils cause they're super light fast, but not all traditional pigments are or can be. I have a Schminke watercolour set that is all light fast except this one super pretty purple that will fade in the face of the sun. I think though just warn people to not put it into direct sunlight. After that, you can't do much about it :/
