My Drawing Tools

I use simple graphite pencils and a few extra tools to create my artwork. Pencil can be manipulated into expressing anything you can see or imagine. Here are the tools I use.

The product links below take you to the Dick Blick art supply store.

• A. 1/2 inch Flat Brush (for filling in large areas)
• B. Exacto Knife (for shaping erasers)
• C. Paper Stump
• D. Kneaded Eraser
• E. Rotating Sharpener for my leads (Alvin Rotary Lead Pointer)
• F. Blow Bulb (for loose graphite and eraser crumbs)
• G. Type Writer Eraser (Almost impossible to find now!)
• H. 1/8 inch Flat Brush (for detail shading)
• I. Detail Tool (© Colour Shaper No. 2 Hard Chiseled tip)
• J. Lead Holders and 2mm leads (I use a full range of leads 9B to 9H)
• K. White Plastic Stick Eraser
• L. Battery Powered Eraser (Sakura Electric)
• M. Emery Board (for sharpening my Battery Powered Eraser)

I also use a magnetic drawing board that I built myself. (See how-to use and build your own magnetic board here.)
