How to choose drawing supplies

Choose drawing tools by the marks you want: graphite pencils for controlled line and tone, charcoal for bold expressive marks, and pastels or pens for colour and ink work. A small range of grades is more useful than a large set of similar ones.

• Graphite grades run from hard H pencils (light, crisp lines) to soft B pencils (dark, smudgy tones); HB sits in the middle.
• Willow or vine charcoal lifts off easily; compressed charcoal is darker and harder to erase.
• A kneadable eraser lifts highlights without damaging the paper.
• Use fixative spray outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.
