SUPPLIES

 

 

• Graphite Drawing Pencils 

Pencils come in grades that range from 9B (very soft) to 9H (very hard). A good starter set would be 4H, 2H, HB, 2B and 4B. You can buy drawing pencils in sets or individually.

I recommend that you begin with the  Derwent Graphic 6B thru 4H pencil set or 

 

• A Good Hand Held Pencil Sharpener

​

• Kneaded Eraser

​

• High Polymer Erasers by Pentel
   

• Drawing Paper

I use Canson Classic Cream and Strathmore 400 Series drawing pads. These are good papers with enough ‘tooth’ to hold the graphite so you can create texture and deep values on them. An 9 x 12 or smaller pad works the best for me.
