🖌️ Materials Needed: Fortunately, diving into this lesson doesn't require an extensive list of materials. All you need are:
Sketching paper (any type will do!) I used Strathmore Gray Tones paper:
shrsl.com/4hh2w
Pencils or charcoal pencils for those dramatic, bold lines. I used Derwent Charcoal Pencils: shrsl.com/4hh2x
Pastel pencils, if you're feeling adventurous and want to add a splash of color to your sketches. I have a set of 48 Koh-i-noor pastel pencils by Gioconda, but there are many other good brands.

48 Set / amzn.to/3vATNnf
Pastel Pencil Sharpener: Having a sharp pencil is crucial for sketching. My favorite is Mobius & Ruppert Grenade Brass Pencil Sharpener

Kneaded Eraser: I love kneaded erasers because they do not disturb the paper like regular erasers. shrsl.com/4hh3b
