Presenting all my drawing materials

Normally in this channel I usually publish all my works that I manage to do referring to drawing in various styles, but now it's time to present the materials and tools that I have at hand, something that can serve as motivation to many of you so that you can also venture into this art without having to make large investments of money. So let's start.

Brush

I usually use the brush to clean the remains or residues of the eraser, either on the paper itself or on the table. It could be said that it is indispensable since it allows us to have the work area very clean and in a fast way.

Graphite pencils

Graphite pencils are used to create sketches or even to give shadows to our drawings when they are made only with these. Among these we have the H (2,3, 4...) and the B (2,3,4...); and such labeling and enumerations determine the amount of graphite concentration in the pencil lead.

Pencil sharpeners and erasers

We all have these at home. We usually use pencil sharpeners to improve the point of the pencil in order to have better lines when writing or drawing. As for the eraser, we use it to erase the graphite that we consider unnecessary.

Mechanical pencils (mechanical pencils)

These are a perfect replacement for graphite pencils, which allows us to save time when sharpening since it only works with a very thin bar of graphite which we must remove by pressing on the other end of the object.

Personally I have used it so far for writing but soon I will be showing you some drawings - with 0.5 and 0.7 leads.

Stylograph (disposable pen)

Some might use it for writing but normally its function is to outline the lines of the drawing that have already been marked with graphite, this allows us to preserve that aspect of the drawing until we decide whether or not to completely color the blank spaces inside the figure.

Paper

There are all kinds and in different sizes, I usually use the ones normally used for school or office work, called A4 (if I'm not mistaken).

Ruler

They are useful to draw some lines that we need or to measure certain dimensions on some areas of the drawing we are working on.

Markers and glue stick

The markers are necessary and ideal to paint the white spaces that are very extensive, since with these we can save time and effort when using them.

As for the glue or glue stick, it is rarely used, I have only been able to use it once to make crafts.

Pencils (ballpoint pens)

A perfect alternative to the graphite pencil to create drawings, it allows us to outline and give shadows to them.

Blender

There are those that already come from the factory or those that are homemade. These allow us to blur the graphite so that the strokes made by the lead are not noticeable.

Colored pencils

There are several types, presentations and brands, and in this case what you can see in the image are school version.

For the moment these have been all I have, I hope that with time I will acquire more tools to experiment in other styles.

Now you know, if you have these materials at home, whether new or used, you can use them to draw, no matter how much knowledge you have, you just need to have the interest and desire to do it.

In my next publications I will be presenting in more detail the elaboration of a drawing.

Without more to tell you we will meet in a next installment.
