People who are engaged in fine arts, sooner or later come to the idea to purchase everything you need on Aliexpress. This is a responsible business and it needs to be approached with seriousness, otherwise a bad product can spoil a unique and maybe even "masterpiece" work.
AliExpress has a lot of cheap and low-quality products, but also there are a lot of good brands, such as Faber Castle and Marco. The brands are at the top of the trust of creative people. The quality of the products depends on the production technology, but also on storage, and even the stores that sell it.
I have prepared a TOP list of stores for artists who approach their work with full responsibility. This is not a whole list, but some of trustful sellers. Sellers are arranged in random order. The quality of products can depend on both: the price and the integrity of the manufacturer. However, if you deal with the seller, you will know exactly what you will get exactly the product that you ordered. So, it will come in integrity and safety. And in case of any problems, the seller will stay on your side.
If you are looking for something specific, then check out the essential items for the aspiring artist. In this list I tried to collect the most basic things that may be needed at the beginning of the journey.
