Description Apologies for my artwise abstinence for the last 2 weeks, this minth is just really crazy for me, and I need my time to sort things out. I will be back drawing something as soon as it’s possible for me to do.

I took this picture already 2 months ago, but the setup hasn’t changed. These are my materials that I use for drawing. It's a very basic supply of colors, but I get good results with them.

Top row:
A 12-pack of markers, just a basic pack I've been owning for a long time now. I don't have the money for prisma markers. They start at around 60 bucks if you buy them in a pack. This is usury, honestly. No desire to buy them at that price. Waste of money.

A 36-pack of prisma color pencils. I always love the outcome of them, and I have the perfect color for every object available. Better than these 8-pack pencils you used to draw with in your childhood.

Speaking of 8-pack pencils - Yes, I have one too. I got them as a gift when I visited the European Parliament in Strasburg 3 years ago. Barely used them since.

Bottom row:
A compass and a triangular ruler. Using it for straight lines, backgrounds, and comic panels.

A half-broken pencil sharpener, a yellow rubber (which is gone by now, replaced it with a blue one), a black sharpie for outlining, various pencils used for drawing and shading, my drawing tablet for digital artwork, and my sketchbook at the bottom, which includes every drawing made since September last year.

As you can see, it really isn’t a lot, but it's fine for me as for now. I might get new stuff once I saved up enough money, but that'll take a while. Seen several people showing their stuff they draw with, thought I'd share it too. Although it’s really basic, I'm totally fine with it. And I will continue making artwork with that supply.

Thanks! People really don't need a lot for good artwork. Just a few pencils and a rubber can bring up great results!

Nice layout of your stuff. Interesting to finally get to be able to see all the things you use to draw your art. I've got pretty much the same wacom tablet as you have. Mine is partially in white, though. 

I've been pretty inactive too from drawing mainly because of a current art block I'm having. I hope to get back on it soon!

Thank you!
Haha, cool! These Wacom tablets are just the best, they're inexpensive and handy at the same time. 90 bucks were totally worth buying it.

Art Block sucks. But it happens to everyone sometimes I guess.

Not a bad choice of tools here! Maybe someday I can get around to sharing what I use!

So einen ähnlichen Tablet habe ich auch in meinem Schrank, allerdings ist mein Computer ein Huso, weil der Treiber nicht installiert werden will xD

Cool!
LOL. Richtiger Huso-PC. Installierst du den Treiber per Download oder von der CD?

Musste download. Hatte alles probiert, sogar den ältesten Treiber. Anscheinend hasst mich MS Framework
