Choosing drawing materials
The right tool depends on the mark you want.
Graphite, charcoal, pastel and coloured pencil do not offer the same density or precision. Paper matters just as much: its grain affects grip, blending and layering.
Charcoal & pastel
For deep blacks, broad marks and blending. These materials need paper with enough grain to hold the particles.
Coloured pencils
For layering, colour mixing and texture. Watercolour pencils can also be diluted with water.
For beginners: an HB, 2B and 4B pencil with fine-grain paper are enough to work on construction, shading and contrast without buying unnecessary materials.
