Sketchbook: Canson XL mixed media. 9x12, 98lb. (Blue cover, got super white, thick paper)
Pens: Prismacolor 005, 03, 01, 05, 08 set (Black) or Pilot G2 (Black)
Markers: Prismacolor or Sharpie paint markers.
Mechanical pencil, normally, with one of those big ol' pink erasers. I also use some colored pencil every once in a while.
I got all of mine at a local Hobby Lobby, or Michaels. Pretty much any art store will have these things.
Fair warning. I have not touched any form of art in 20 years, yeah old, probably before a few on here were born. After checking out this sub and a few others (along with 12ozP) I wanted to get back into it.
Dug through my only boxes and found my color pencils. Set of 48 Prismacolors and a 24 Spectracolor (score, forgot about these and upset they are no longer made).
A box of good mechanical pencils and a few good gel pens.
Check out Walmart surprisingly. They have sets of 24 fine point and 24 Ultra Fine Point going for $15. I found them on sale for $10 at one Walmart, then checked another since I got the last set on sale.
Still have to replace my paint markers.
Will post up my first BB later.
Markers I use prisma and ironlak strikers, pencils anything light. Blackbook I use a otr marker pad.
Books:
Canson spiral 5.5x8.5 and 9x12
Strathmore 12x18
Markers:
PrismaColor(48)
Sharpies(shoebox full, assorted sizes/colors)
Krink K-70 (6)
A couple of those ridiculous magnum 44s :-) They're fun.
Micron(s) .3 MM for outlines.
Pencils
If you want sharpies/ markers for cheap or rack. GO TO DOLLAR TREE OH MY GOD. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
A biro.
I use a pencile and paper,i like it that way,im not realy good
i use sharpies to colour my pieces, i found a set with a bunch of colours at costco for a pretty good price. And i try to use light pencils whenever i sketch out my pieces, it makes it easier to erase after you've inked the outline.
