What do you REALLY need in your basic drawing kit? These are going to become your most trusted drawing supplies as a beginner artist.

If you’re a beginner drawer, you really do NOT need to fill your drawing kit with super expensive pencils and tools. What I’m chatting about here are the absolute drawing essentials: the pencils you need, the erasers, and of course the best sharpener for all those pointy tips. These are your most essential drawing supplies!

Keep in mind that as the pencils “progress”, they get darker and softer. A good video showing this progression in case you’d like to see what to expect: Drawing Pencil Examples 

And if you’d like to learn more about the erasers, how to use them, and how to modify them to suit your needs best, check this video: Different Types of Erasers (Which is best?)
