I’ve been getting back into traditional art with the help of a few supplies that I really credit to my art journey. Most of these supplies are inexpensive but exceptionally fun to work with.

Often times in my more thin-papered sketchbooks I like to sketch in ballpoint pen. It’s something my Dad taught me when I was first starting to take art seriously, so that I would spend less time erasing and more time putting lines on paper. I’ve always had an affinity for them ever since then and so I found that this style of lineart works really well with my style.

I now prefer to use ballpoint pens (especially of different colors to add contrast in the illustration) for a clean, thin lineart.
