The materials you use do not necessarily determine your skills. An artist who has been practicing for many years can use a cheap medium and still create a beautiful painting/drawing. They utilise the materials they have.
I wasn't born with a million dollars in my pocket. I'm not rich nor am I spoilt. I was, however, fortunate enough to earn money through a commission which I used to by my Copic markers. Aside from that expensive brand of graphic markers, I like to buy cheap art materials that can be found in the dollar store. My local dollar store has a wide variety of mart materials from colouring pencils, charcoal to acrylic and oil paints. Since I still consider myself a beginner, I don't like to buy expensive mediums if I know I'm only going to experiment with it, unlike Copic markers which I know I'm going to use all the time.
With that said, I did this simple illustration using Faber-Castell 48 Classic Colour set which I bought from a school and office supply store. It cost me about $18 which is considerably inexpensive compared to other brands such as Prismacolor and even Faber-Castell Polychromos.
