Sketching materials
There has been a discussion or a request in the Everyday Matters Yahoo! group about sharing one’s weapons of choice for sketching and drawing. These two pics show mine. Actually, I have more art materials hidden in my cupboard beside these, since I am addicted to art goodies. However, the goodies shown on the pics are my ‘core’ drawing/sketching materials that I use 85% of the time.
The materials:
- Derwent ‘Drawing’ Pencils
- Derwent ‘Graphitint’ Pencils
- Caran d’Ache Pablo coloured pencils
- Winsor & Newton Coatman sketch palet 12 half-pans
- Bruynzeel coloured pencils
- Moleskine sketchbook
- Basic black sketchbook (no brand, from a local art store)
- Rotring XONOX 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5
- Rotring Rapidograph 0.25, 0.35, and 0.5
- Chinese brushes
- Lamy ‘Safari’ fountain pen with F/fine nib

Oh thanks Evy for sharing your supplies. I always like to see what other people use too. Isn’t it funny how we end up with favorites.

Do you find that your Rapidograph pens runs out relatively quickly? (I know that’s a loaded, even silly question.)Mine don’t seem to last very long. But I love ‘em.

Possum4all: Frankly I don’t really use them enough after I bought them sometimes mid-year last year. So I haven’t gotten the chance to even put in a new cartridge. My no 1 choice is actually the XONOX and its disposable.

Thanks, yeah I use disposable too … esp. when I’m low and can’t really afford a $10 cartridge. Keep up the great work. Fun stuff.

Thanks for showing your supplies Evy - I’m so curious to know. If I buy these things, could I do what you do?!! Beautiful new sketches of your cats and the cafe!

Evy,
You should sign up for an affiliate account with someone and make your supplies links. Then you’d get $$$ for purchases!!!!!!!

hmm… thanks anonymous. I have never had a real interest in doing that. But may be I should investigate.
