Supply List
𐃘 Supply List: 1. You can use various types of drawing pencils like H, 2H, B, HB, B, 2B, or any from 3B-6B. 2. My favorite erasers are kneaded eraser and the little eraser in a pen holder. 3. Don't forget to bring drawing paper and pencil sharpener 5. A ruler is necessary for measuring and setting up a grid before we can start drawing. 5. For blending, you can use a Q tip or a make-up sponge, but tissue or paper towel works just as well. 6. Optional: Add a splash of color to your drawings with colored pencils, watercolors, or markers for an extra vibrant touch. 𐃘 *If you're eager to join your first class but don't have all the supplies, don't worry.
