Believe it or not, this actually gave me alot of hope for how simple a good drawing arsenal is. Lol God help the poor soul who wants to draw and just dives into google or amazon to find out what they need. You'll be convinced you need about $1k worth of stuff to draw a stickman! XD
This stuff is all very simple clearly sufficient for AMAZING drawings. I can't wait to jump in!

When you're done with a drawing, (like the last two pictures) do you put them in like slips of clear plastic to keep them, or do you use fixing sprays?

What's wrong with blending with your fingers, if you make sure they're free of excess oil and won't damage the piece?

Well this has been really useful except for one thing. I have a pencil called F.
Where does that one come in? :s

This is really helpful :] I'm just wondering where you find your mechanical pencil leads; i can't seem to find them in anything other than 2B.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm well I always buy them at a local store, so I guess it's no use to give you the address
They have a website too: [link] (all in dutch!)
Hope you'll be able to find some leads other than 2B
