My Art Supplies

A list of affordable art supplies I use to create.

I've recently started my journey in the world of physical art, (Though I've dabbled in graphic design for years, but that is for another post.) My point is, the art supplies I use are of good quality but are not the same supplies an expert of the craft would use. They spend far more money on their supplies than I do.

This is a great list of art supplies to get you equipped and creating.

Remember, no matter your financial ability you can start creating with what you have in your home. You don't need to buy new supplies. Use the pencils and paper you already own.

Any supplies on this list are products I recommend. These are products I personally use and enjoy.

Drawing Supplies

Amazon Basics Sketch and Drawing Art Pencil Kit - 17-Piece Set.

• I love this kit. The lead pencils are perfect. I've had no issue with lead breakage. It's also the first time I've used a blender/smudge stick. I'm unsure how long it would have taken me to discover this awesome little tool had it not come with the kit. My only complaint is the pencil sharpener wasn't my favorite. I prefer one with a cover, Luckily, my daughter had a few, from school throughout the years, and I "borrowed" one of hers.

Pentel Clic Retractable Eraser with Grip, 3 Pack

• This eraser is GREAT. 10/10 would recommend.

Strathmore 455-3, 400 Series Sketch Pad, 9"x12" Wire Bound, 100 Sheets, White

• This is my first and current sketchbook. The pages are very durable. I spend as much time erasing as I do drawing. The pages have held up to the torture without issue.
