I saw your marker thing; if I may, another brand to look around for is Concept. When I got them they were under 2 bucks a piece, and the quality is definitely enough, at least for learning markers.
Ooh, I’ve never tried these! Answering publicly to spread the word~
Another brand I forgot to mention is Tombow - they’re not the best for flat areas of color since they don’t blend particularly easily, but their colors are vivid and they have a brush tip and they’re pretty cheap when compared to Copics or Prismacolors, in my experience.
Since you guys showed so much love, I decided to go the extra mile and put 40 extra special editions up for pre-order!! Took a lot of emails but we can do it now :D
Don’t worry if you missed out on charms and stickers. They will be available separately through the hosts’s own stores as we created them. More info on that soon!
I’m assuming you mean physical markers, since this ask came around when I posted that Alexandrite drawing, iirc.
I really got them from a bunch of places? Markers can get really expensive, so I’ve collected them over the years. Copics’ll cost you the most; there’s this misconception I see here and there that Copics are completely superior because they have a brush tip and you shouldn’t use Prismacolors because they don’t (though I think they do make a limited selection of Prismacolors that do have a brush tip, now? But that’s besides the point), but I’ve found that they both work perfectly well together! And Prismacolors are cheaper, too. I would shop around for prices before picking anything up, and buy markers (especially Copics) when they’re on sale!
EDIT: As for the actual “where,” most art supply/hobby stores will sell one or the other, if not both. If you have a local art supply store, I’d give them a shot! If not, Michaels sells them, though their prices aren’t the best.
There are limited copies available (450ish total). 50 of those are special editions. They could very well sell out in 1 day considering 3k follow this blog OOPS

Close seconds are Rose (because I love drawing characters with crazy hair) and Lapis (no specific reason? I just like drawing her). I actually really like drawing Sardonyx, too, not that you can tell with how little I actually do it.
Steven and Connie are fun, though I have some trouble with Steven’s proportions. And Peridot’s growing on me, drawing-wise, but I’m still trying to nail down exactly how to draw her so that’s a work in progress. And it’s not like I specifically dislike drawing any of the characters, anyway.
