I used simple pencils to create most of the artwork you see on my site's pages. Pencil, or graphite, can be manipulated into expressing anything you see or imagine. Anything. All it takes is practice. Here are the tools I use.

• 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!)
• 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. (Find how-to instructions here)
