Manga style cartooning and art supplies recommendations for kids
Cretacolor 4B graphite drawing lead outlines colored with Faber Castell Albrecht Durer aquarelle sticks.
Doodles are a mix of fantasy drawings and observation sketches drawn with a Zebra brush sign pen and a Uni-ball 2 mm leadholder while waiting at the mall.
Couldn't sleep last night, so doodled this coloring page with a fine-size Zebra Disposable Brush Sign Pen. This pen allows for some nice line width variation depending on the pressure applied with the drawing hand plus the ink is fairly water resistant. So the actual coloring page can be colored with watercolors. For fun, you are welcomed to print this image, complete doodling background elements surrounding the merfolk, and colored it with your favorite coloring media.
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.
