    MATERIALS

    • HB pencil or clutch pencil (0.5mm HB).

    • Pencil sharpener.

    • Black Pigment Liners or Drafting Pens, water resistant.

    • Black Pigment Liner, water soluble (for working with black washes).

    • Sketchbooks: These are available in all shapes and sizes; some with coloured paper. A small pocket sketchbook is useful to carry at all times. Use acid-free smooth paper. A watercolour pad would be the obvious choice if using watercolours – 300gsm Hot Pressed (smooth). A4 pads or offcuts can be cut into smaller (or preferred) sizes and bound later. A good quality drawing paper sketchbook is recommended if using coloured pencils
