Here are the traditional materials Brian likes to use in these types of projects:
01 – Pencils
Col-erase: Prismacolor Col-Erase Erasable Colored Pencils
A great pencil for color sketching, it’s smooth and not too soft. I like blue and orange for sketching.
Graphite: Staedtler graphite pencils
the essential gray tones and a strong pencil
02 – Pens
Brush tip:Copic Gasenfude Nylon Brush Pen Black
This is the newest pen in drawing arsenal. It has a springy tip that can get some nice delicate lines. The inkflow is balanced. But the best thing about this brush pen is it’s WATERPROOF. So markers don’t smudge it, watercolors play well with it. It’s a great pen for working with all kinds of wet media.
Felt tip: Pilot Futayaku Double-Sided Brush Pen
This pen is my favorite felt tip. The line is crisp and stays that way over most of it’s life time. An added bonus is the grey ink on the flip side that’s great for shading.
03 – Copic Markers
I love these markers. I think they are the best for rendering and modeling shapes. They sell refills so if a marker runs dry you can refill it, which I do all the time for my grays. They also sell replacement tips, so if the tip wears out you don’t have to replace the whole marker. There’s also over 350 colors so your bases are covered there.
I’d start with a basic set like this:
Copic Sketch Set of 6 Markers – Sketching Grays
And I’d also get this gray set. You can learn a lot about values and light & shadow and how to blend markers with this set. Skills and information that will be helpful when you start rendering with colors.
