Here is a look at the tools I use for drawing in my sketchbook. I try to do this before every painting or as a morning exercise. This little sketch will turn into a painting later. I hope you enjoy it!


My general drawing supplies:


-Sketchbook So many amazing options out there! Strathmore makes great paper, I use Pentalic 8.5x11 sketchbooks most often. https://www.amazon.com/Pentalic-Sketc...
-Gummy Eraser https://www.amazon.com/2-Pack-General...
-Staedler lead holder 2mm (or any brand) I usually keep two or three on hand with different density leads https://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Tech...
