Materials List
Pencils: Mono Tombow Pencils or Staedler Mars lumograph. pencil weights of 2B, B, HB, H, 2H – 4 each.
Paper Mate Tuff Stuff Eraser Stick (SN64801) or any similar stick eraser.
Mono Zero Eraser – Tiny eraser that brings a lot of control to drawing. I also advise getting refills ahead of time.
Pencil Extenders – When pencils get short this extends their life.
Sandpaper Pencil Sharpeners: Staedtler Mars Sandpaper Lead Pointer or equivalent.
Charcoal Pencils: General Charcoal or Wolff’s Carbon Pencils. Minimum of both: 2B, 4B
General’s Charcoal White Pencil – Minimum of 3
Please note that these are fragile pencils and dropping one can mean shattering the core rendering the pencil useless. It’s best to bound with a rubber band and carry in a soft case.
Box Cutter. We use this to carve pencils exposing the lead and use the sandpaper pencil sharpeners to create a very sharp drawing edge for precision work.
An “art canvas 48 pencil case“. This search term will take you to what I recommend. They will protect the pencils very well.
