You asked, I listened

MATERIALS LIST:

  1. A pencil - I like a 2H like this one here

  2. A good eraser - The ones built into pencils often just don’t cut it!
    Option 1. I like this rubber eraser a lot if you prefer a classic eraser or
    Option 2. This kneaded eraser gets used on almost every single drawing of mine!

  3. A good pencil sharpener - Again, many sharpeners are pretty dull and can damage nice pencils! I love a good heavy metal one like this. (Note: some states have banned brass metal sharpeners, California is one of them!)

  4. Drawing paper - I love this mixed media paper from Strathmore but feel free to use whatever you like! You want something smooth-ish that isn’t too thin/flimsy. We’ll be making our drawings roughly 5x7” size so no need to get a large pad of paper if you don’t have one. Do bring a few extra sheets for warm up though!

  5. and of course, Colored Pencils - I will be using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils in at least the following colors:

  • Black

  • White

  • 20% Cool Gray

  • 50% Cool Gray

  • 70% Cool Gray

In my original drawing, I also used these (totally optional!) colors:

  • Dark Brown

  • Pink

  • Seashell Pink

  • Blue Slate

  • Lavender

(Please note: Not all colored pencils are the same! Feel free to use whatever brand you like and use colors similar to those above, just know that they may work a little differently than mine.)

Hope to see you soon!

Talk soon,
