If you want to start drawing, and haven’t done it before, you’ll probably need to get a handful of inexpensive drawing tools before you begin!
First of all, you’ll need a pencil. If you can, I suggest you buy a mechanical graphite pencil with interchangeable leads. You’ll need HB and 2B Graphite leads.
If you can’t get hold of a mechanical pencil with interchangeable leads, you’ll need a small craft knife or Xacto knife for the first stage in sharpening your wooden pencils.
The fundamental drawing tools you’ll need to learn to draw academically, minus the drawing board.
You’ll also want a small, usually wooden sandpaper pad for sharpening your pencil, and a grey kneadable eraser (putty rubber).
Also, get a Drawing board (about 50cm/18-20 inches on the longest side). This is small enough for you to rest it on your knees and lean it against your desk, but also large enough to use for medium-sized life drawing on an easel.
