In this video I review the supplies in my portable sketching kit.
We all lead busy lives, and often time in our studios is limited. Having a set of supplies next to you at all times allows you to get in a few minutes of drawing here and there throughout the day, which over a period of a week can accumulate to hours and hours of valuable time spent drawing and painting, developing your ideas, and growing as an artist.
Here is a list of all the materials discussed in the video
1. Lihit Lab Smartfit pen case
2. TWSBI ECO fountain pens (extra fine, medium, broad)
3. Platinum Carbon Ink
4. D'Atramentis White Document Ink
5. Fude nib for TWSBi Eco from FPnibs.com
