Manga style cartooning and art supplies recommendations for kids
Had a chance earlier today to view some of the finished projects from my students from the second ARTScool Manga Cartooning class at The von Liebig Art Center. The students were provided with black and white cartoon outlines based on them as asked to add background elements and coloring.
Dragon Warrior by 11 year old student.
Ninja Attack by 7 year old student.
Jungle Boy by 9 year old student.
The Prince and the Castle by 9 year old student.
The Sugar Gliders by 8 year old student.
1. Minimal Starter kit: handful of copy paper sheets and pen or pencil is all that’s needed to start doodling. A clipboard is handy for support and keeping sketches neatly together. A 0.5 mm mechanical pencil would be a good choice since it doesn’t require sharpening and often features a small eraser .
2. Compact Take-anywhere kit: a small 3½" × 5½" Moleskine-type sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, and a nice black gel pen can easily fit in a jacket pocket for sketching anywhere.
3. Regular field kit: a small shoulder bag loaded with a 7" × 10"-9" × 12" double wire bound Canson Field Sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, a couple of Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens, a waterbrush, and a small watercolor crayons set can cover most situations on a moment’s notice.
4. Portable Studio: keep all options open in a messenger bag or backpack loaded with a large 9" × 12" or 11" × 14" mixed media sketchbook, favorite mechanical pencil or handful of drawing pencils, Pilot Foam eraser, set of pigment liners, pan watercolor set, waterbrush, and anything else you care to carry.
