====================
Paper, Drawing Board
====================
Paper for polished Drawings – great for soft charcoal and my style of drawing. (I REALLY recommend 18″x24″, it works for all common frame sizes and can be cut in half to become two 12″x16″, and needed for making your own art videos)
1) Strathemore (slight yellow tone) Amazon ► http://amzn.to/2jL8q0Z or Canson (whiter) ► http://amzn.to/2l8YDOE MisterArt ► https://goo.gl/rQJ8vp
2) Cheap Newsprint Paper for practice (just need one type)
Amazon ► http://amzn.to/2jLiIhy (whiter) or ► http://amzn.to/2l8Tu9c (traditional yellowish newsprint)
Mister Art ► https://goo.gl/PO7uDQ
3) Optional Heavier, more textured paper:
Amazon ► http://amzn.to/2lkSC1e
MisterArt ► https://goo.gl/LZqrCV
(Heavy watercolor paper, strong textured. Besides watercolor, it is actually good for pastel, and other mediums such as regular charcoal)
4) Drawing Board mobile (essential):
Amazon ► http://amzn.to/2lfwSDW
MisterArt ► https://goo.gl/XbZ8ze (like the paper, pick the larger size)
5) Drawing board (Stationary)
Amazon ► http://amzn.to/2kbiHjm

(optional, but helpful to have a large drawing board with variety of angles, recommended for long time drawing sessions or make your own art videos)

=================
Camera for streaming / Recording
Amazon ► http://amzn.to/2kDfsEC (I used to use a more expensive none-webcam camera, but this do the job well at a fraction of the price. Though it needs to be connected to your computer or laptop at all times)
