I typically use Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils to sketch, but sometimes I will bring out the Blackwing or Faber-Castell pencils. The Col-Erase pencils have the worst eraser btw.
Gouache is my go-to paint. The brands I use are Arteza, Caran d'Ache, and Holbein. I don't usually reach for watercolors, but when I do, it's just my set of Windsor + Newton student-grade watercolors. Watercolor is the base layer that I put down before the gouache. It doesn't need to be fancy.
I have a variety of colored pencils that I use. Sometimes, I don't even know the brand I am using. My collection consists mostly of Caran d'Ache Pablos and Prismacolors.
Sometimes, I like to mix in the Caran d'Ache Neocolors II. They're water-soluable pastels that are a fun little touch to add into a painting. Most of the time, I use them in my sketchbook.
I am not picky about erasers or sharpeners. I usually go for whatever is closest.
As for paper, same thing with the erasers and sharpeners. I go for whatever sketchbook or paper. It's usually not too heavy especially with sketchbooks. I love sketchbooks with weird flimsy paper.
Phoenix Code is my main coding software. Looking for switch because I am lk sick of it. Hmu with suggestions.
I use resources like W3Schools and MDN a lot when I want to try something new!
-Dithermark to dither my images.
-Procreate to draw some assets.
-Unsplash for stock images.
-My brain + not AI :)
The Sarasa made even better.
I find that colored Sarasas skip and streak, but the black ink ones don't. This one comes with black ink inside of a well constructed body. I panic a little whenever I lose it. It's one of my faves.
This is a nice, chunky gel pen. I love thick lines in my sketchbooks, and these come in a variety of colors. They are prone to drying out though.
I wish I could have an unlimited supply of these. They're one of the best budget gel pens out there, and I love the red and blue ones.
These came in a lot more colors than I realized like orange? Purple? That's crazy.
There's always one of these floating around somewhere. I also have the refillable one. I haven't used it much since it's just black. I like the colored ones.
A dirt cheap, refillable fountain pen. The body isn't the best material-wise. I have a red one held together with tape. I am willing to put up with it though because I love the smooth tip. They're just about $5 where I shop. Lots of fun color options + nib sizes.
My first and only vacuum fill fountain pen. Filled w/ Noodler's. I love it. It did leak once, but that was user-error. I am too frightened and scarred from that to put it in my EDC, but this is the kinda pen you would carry daily. The body is weighed really nicely too.
