Material
Material
You will need:
- A stack of plain printer paper – but it is allowed to experiment with other types of paper! I recommend to use cheap paper to start with, because you want to do many drawings instead of trying to do the one perfect drawings!
- Pencil, pencil sharpener and eraser
- Thin black felt pen, best if waterproof
- Something to make light grey shading. Either markers – the lightest grey you can find, or watercolor, or light grey crayon. I use this one, but you can use a different one. I use Light Grey no. 102 and soft rose no. 203, plus yellow.
- Crayons or felt pens or watercolor. Yellow, red, bright blue, light green. Light colors are best.
I'll tell you why to use light colors in the module about "style and technique".
