Exact Art Tools I use and where to get them (click “show more”):
Pencil black 6B ► http://amzn.to/2jLfYAL (I like to use soft pencil for easy blending, but careful they can get messy!)
Pencil white ► http://amzn.to/2l8OFwp (I generally like to get pack of 12, it’s cheaper and will last you a long time)
compressed soft charcoal ► http://amzn.to/2l4e3rv
or ► http://amzn.to/2kcRezY (if you want to try assorted variety)
Pencil Sharpner ► http://amzn.to/2l8w2ce (manual hand held sharpner is not nearly as convinient as electric one, but if you are especially good with an art knife you can use that) The cheaper $30 version works. I used to use a more expensive panasonic, but this particular model i been using for a few month and seems great so far.
Kneaded Eraser ► http://amzn.to/2l4aUrD (add on item , need at least $25 of of total cart)
other options ► http://amzn.to/2kDLNdW (if you want to buy a decent amount at once)
or ► http://amzn.to/2kzNmtQ
or ► http://amzn.to/2l8KG2W
(depends on how much you need / how long before re-buy)
Tortillion / Blending Stump ► http://amzn.to/2kDE6oa
if sold out, or you want a larger quanity to last longer ►http://amzn.to/2kcWIek
Soft Blending Stump / Tortillion: I use self made ones, check my channel for a video showing you how to make it!
For Charcoal drawings – These are fairly smooth, great for soft charcoal and my style of drawing:
Strathemore Paper ► http://amzn.to/2jL8q0Z
or Canson (whiter) ► http://amzn.to/2l8YDOE
Newsprint Paper ► http://amzn.to/2jLiIhy (whiter)
or ► http://amzn.to/2l8Tu9c (closer to traditional newsprint, slight yellowish)
Hard Rubber Eraser – Just get any hard rubber eraser from local store or ► http://amzn.to/2k7p8nl
Soft Pastel Pencil 24 color – ►http://amzn.to/2l44k4b
if you want real variety 60 color: ►http://amzn.to/2l4f8PL
Compressed color Pastel: ►http://amzn.to/2jOwNpP or ►http://amzn.to/2l8VHBg
(both very similar and work well, I use it for foundation tones)
Krylon Sprayfixative – http://amzn.to/2jLb1YS
(This works well since I can add more charcoal or pastel on top of the spray once it dries – Do not use too much on pastel drawings, just a mist)
Hope this helps!
