Alrighty! I always get questions on my drawings and art such as "What did you use to color it?" Or "How did you do that?" I feel the need to start this by sharing my supplies that I use when I draw.
To begin with, the main thing I use is paper (obviously.) Normally I use sketching paper when I'm doodling or sketching out ideas, and I use Bristol paper for full drawings due to the thickness of it and how well it holds the color. After I sketch out what I will be drawing, I use my black liners, Microns or Prismas, to line around the drawing to separate each section that I have to color. When I'm done with that, I erase all the pencil marks and take out my favorite handy dandy markers, Copic markers. I usually use around 3-4 different shades and values of the same color family for one part. For example, if I'm coloring skin, I'll use 4 different colors that are darker or lighter than the original base color to shade and highlight different parts of the face. Using multiple different colors of the same color family help to add interest, depth, and personality to the drawing. Often times, I also use colored pencils, Prismacolors, for smaller details or added texture. Honestly, those are the main art supplies I use when creating a drawing.
Cool
