DRAWING SUPPLIES

Shop my favorites

You can now shop all of my favorite drawing supplies. Drawing supplies are a great place to start if you are just beginning your art journey as there are many budget friendly options, and sometimes fewer materials required when compared to painting supplies. All you really need to get started with drawing is paper and a pencil. Many artists, like myself, often used printer paper and a mechanical pencil or standard 2B pencil you would use for school when just starting out.

*Some pigments are not lightfast across all brands, and while most colors from a brand may be lightfast, there may still be some fugitive colors in their line.

I always recommend looking at each brand's lightfast ratings.
