I went over all my favorite art supplies for drawing and sketching - my most used ones of 2024! From specific colored pencils for portrait and thumbail sketches, my favorite pencils for detailed drawings, new and old paper and sketchbook favorites, and some digital tools.
This goes from basic to specific, and I hope my recommendations are helpful both for drawing beginners looking for a place to start, as well as fellow art material horders. ❤️
During the video, I'll be swatching art supplies, show a portrait drawing process, and head to a cafe with my sketchbook for more illustration ideas...

✧ ART MATERIALS ✧
Blackwing Matte : https://amzn.to/3PjeZok *
Derwent Drawing : https://amzn.to/4f6qcUr * (especially love Chinese White - it's the most intense and opaque colore pencil white I've found, and the wonderfully smooth and intense Terracotta.)
Cretacolor Monolith : https://amzn.to/4g0jMFV * (mostly using 4B and 6B)
Derwent Lightfast : https://amzn.to/3xYs2WK *
Caran d'Ache Luminance : https://amzn.to/3LvcWLv *
Derwent Chromaflow : https://amzn.to/3Z5LQ3M *
I also use a lot of very cheap colored pencils in various shades of gray by Marco Renoir - always recommend trying out some single pencils at your local art store, and maybe discover something that fits perfectly! Cheap ones robably not lightfast, but great for practice.
