Art supplies

Pens & paints, paper & books

There are several Art supplies, from very simple to exclusive and expensive.

However, anyone who starts drawing does not immediately need the luxury equipment of artist materials. First of all, you have to develop a feeling for the correct handling of materials in general. The most expensive pens and papers are just too bad for pure practice.

Zeichenausstattung für Vielzeichner und Künstler — Drawing equipment for frequent draughtsmen and artists

Anyone who is curious about new materials beyond the practice phase can gain an insight into the materials available on the market and what they can be used for. Accessories such as erasers and sharpeners or other materials (which many beginners are not yet familiar with) are also discovered bit by bit.

If one wants to work with colors, one is spoiled for choice: whether colored pencils, felt-tip pens or rather markers, people also like to color with the PC more and more often.

Those who have discovered that they like to draw will at some point also want to improve. For this purpose, people like to take books for help, which can also provide many impressions and sample images.

On the following pages I give an insight into the materials available on the market and what you can use them for.
