Drawing 101: Preclass

Welcome to pre-class!

This intermediate course needs pencils and sketchbooks – a number 2 will do, but see the video for more on why you may wish to try a selection of pencils. Two sketchbooks – both pretty inexpensive – and you’ll be ready to roll. There are some optional items included in the video as well.

Supplies

• Staedtler Lumograph Drawing and Sketching Pencils (set of 12)
• White Pitt Pastel Pencils – Medium hardness and Soft
• Kneaded eraser (optional: a set of 3 for more eraser options, a stick eraser if desired)
• Pencil Sharpener – either the Quietsharp (electric) or a Prismacolor Handheld
• Two sketchbooks; these are the mixed media-weight paper:
  • Bee Paper Super Deluxe 9×12 
  • Stillman and Birn toned sketchbooks; any size and color is fine.
• Optional Tools – not required for class but fun:
  • QuickComp grid or ComposeIt grid (Gridvu recommended for figure artists)
  • Graphite Paper
  • Tsquare and triangle
  • Divider
  • Rolling ruler
  • TruAngle
  • A sketchbox of some kind to keep everything in
