Supplies Used in this Tutorial
✏️Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper: amzn.to/3X7XXxW
(This is an off-white paper. If you're looking for a white, smooth drawing paper, the following one is a good option.)
✏️Strathmore 300 Series Bristol (vellum surface): amzn.to/3yJXFTY
✏️Staedtler Mars Lumograph Graphite Pencils: amzn.to/3Krm03F
✏️Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black Pencils: amzn.to/458bwzo
✏️My favorite Kneaded Eraser brand: amzn.to/3X7MU7Y
✏️Recommended Drawing Board: amzn.to/4cnRmUP
*Note: For years, my go-to graphite pencils have been Staedtler Mars Lumograph Graphite Pencils, which are the blue ones in the video. In this drawing I also experimented with Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black pencils. They haven’t become a staple in my drawing practice, but they did help me achieve some of the darkest values in this drawing, while avoiding the glare or shine that dark values drawn in pure graphite usually produce.
