A short film of the realistic drawing process.
Art Materials
Although there are many great brands of art supplies, these are the ones I've found work for me:
- Generals & Primo charcoal pencils in HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, Elite #5000
- Strathmore 500 Bristol paper, plate finish in 11" x 14" for smaller, 1-subject drawings and 14" x 17" for larger animals or multiple subjects. I use the the plate finish because it's smoother than the vellum for fine detail. The cotton surface stands up to multiple layers of blending and erasing without damaging the surface.
- Generals Factis Mechanical Eraser for highlights, light fur, and hair.
- Various paint brushes. Actually, makeup brushes are an effective, economical blending tool.
