Anime, like any other artwork, needs a few essential art supplies like pencils, pen, and paint brushes among others. Let’s explore some of them.
Paper Pencil for rough linework: Use H, HB, or B pencils, depending on the darkness you desire to have in your work.
Mechanical pencils for precision work: Use varying lead diameter to add depth to your lines.
Pen and ink or marker pens and ball pens: Marker pens are usually the cheaper amateur version of pen and ink. However, even professional artists use markers to give life to their artworks.
Paintbrushes: A lot of artists use brushes for their linework and coloring. A stable hand is mandatory if you dare to use brushes for drawing your outlines.
Inks: Try to use the best quality ink to make your art looks exceptional. You can use Indian ink, drawing ink, or industrial ink.
White ink: These are used to add details and highlights to your drawing. They can also be used to correct inking mistakes.
At the end of the day, all that matters is your desire to draw. Get a piece of paper and a pen and draw your heart out.
