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.

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.

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

  • Prismacolor medium hardness. It's like 6H to 4B or something.

If you want sharpies/ markers for cheap or rack. GO TO DOLLAR TREE OH MY GOD. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
