Drawing Tools Travel Kit and On-The-Go Techniques
In this article, I show my favorite drawing tools including graphite pencils, markers, charcoal and Conte crayons that I take with me in my artist roll-up travel kit!
In addition, I share essential accessories like the best erasers, blending tools and my suggested papers that make it easier to get beautiful results with these tools.
With these elements and the ideas shared in the class at hand, all you have to do is put in the time drawing!
Below is the full video workshop of the live session. The drawing implements and accessories used in the video are listed afterwards in this article. Enjoy! 🎨
Here is the website I built for master artist Joseph Yznaga Regan whose drawn shells artwork I showed for inspiration at the beginning of the video:
