I love art supplies! I guess this is not really a huge surprise considering I’m an illustrator, but I really could spend an entire day wondering around an art supply store feeling all the paper. (Yes I am that person, I have to touch all the paper!) 

Here are 5 art supplies I am loving! 

COPIC Sketch Markers: I am not really a marker person, but I have been seeing these being loved by other illustrators, and I have been curious to try them out for myself. And I’m obsessed they are gorgeous! Highly pigmented, they apply smoothly, and blend beautifully with no streaks! 

Fluid 100 Cold Press 140lb. 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper: This paper is amazing! I am in love with it! It has a very smooth texture, almost no tooth, witch is what I am always looking for in a thick watercolor paper. It also takes paint very well without absorbing too fast. I have the 6”x 6” block, witch can take some time to remove the individual sheets from the glued sides, but its worth it! 

Tombow MONO HB Pencil: This is my new favorite pencil! It has a very nice dark grey graphite that is not to soft, and doesn’t break off easily when sharpening.

General’s Factis Extra Soft White Vinyl Eraser: I have actually been using this eraser since college, and I am still loving it! It picks up pencil lines really well and is soft enough that it doesn’t tear the paper.

Princeton Watercolor Brushes: I have been using these brushes for a few years now and they are still my favorite! I have few brushes in their Lauren, Select, and Snap! series. All three hold a lot of paint, the bristles keep their shape well and last a long time.

Tell me what art supplies are you loving at the moment?
