Hello Everybody! How are you all doing?

Welcome to my new creative post. You know how much I like art. And also know how much I talk about the supplies I use. One day I want to find the best of the best for me. But that takes a long time to experiment and master.

I remember those days when I worked with very simple art supplies. My go to was printer paper and crayola colored pencils. It worked for me back then. But now things have changed. I want to improve, so I need more advance supplies.

My kryptonite is that I get scared when I have something new and precious. That fear of using it and ruining it. That is something that is still hard for me to overcome. One of the ways that I can surpass that is if I have a desperate need for it. If need a sketchbook for something I go and buy it and use it as soon as possible. Instead of buying it out of curiosity and not using it until you find a reason for it.

Currently these are my favorite art supplies:

• Canson Mix Media Sketchbook: I have to be honest if I had to pick a simple cheap sketchbook. I would pick the Canson Mix Media. It already can handle different types of art mediums. And right now I can’t decide what I should with.

• Deleter Neopiko: For years I’ve been using the Sakura Pigma Micron pens. But I’ve never felt the satisfaction of outlining my art until I tried using the Neopiko pens. It was such an improvement that I don’t want to go back to using Sakura anymore.

• Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils: I love these pencils. I wish to get better at using them. I don’t know why am I having such a hard time trying to understand how to use them. When I was little I remember my mom had a set and I colored with it. As an adult, I decided to get my own, but I didn’t know that there was more technique involved with coloring.

• Steadler Eraser: So far this to the best eraser I’ve ever used. I bet there are better ones out there. For now, this is what I have and it is working well for me. So far I am using a black erase. But one day I will upgrade to a better one.

• Mechanical Pencil Blue Lead: Not only do I use a mechanical pencil, but I also use blue leads. It makes a huge difference in my drawings. I don’t have to worry about sharpening. My lines are always fine. And blue lead disappears when scanned or erased. This is the best change I’ve made.

• Kuretake Zig Clear Color Real Brush Pens: These are the best. It is a marker crossed with watercolors. I have the best of both worlds. Either I can use it as a marker or as watercolors or both. The pigments are so bright and vivid even when diluted. I do not regret buying a full set. Now I have to learn how to used them as it should.

I have more art supplies, but these ones are my favorites, for now. I don’t mind if I never get to find better art supplies. I can keep using these forever. My biggest strife would be the journals. It is hard to find the best people on a journal. But I’ve fallen in love with 100% cotton watercolor papers. Too bad they don’t come in a journal.

My basic go-to paper is mix media, but if I want to do a perfect artwork, then I go to my watercolor paper or 100% cotton paper. I always think about the perfect journal. With excellent quality paper. Either watercolor or Bristol. But I am sure Bristol would be harder to find. And the sad part is that they come with the least papers possible.

I also heard about Faber Castell Polychromos, they say they are good. But I am not buying it until I use up all Prismacolor pencils. Unless I get a small set to test them out. Like I did with the Copic markers. I’m still trying to get used to them. It isn’t as simple as you think. Markers are sometimes scary to use. I don’t like making mistakes. Especially on drawings, I worked so hard to create.

And there you have it a new creative art post. I have a ton of art supplies that and little by little I work with each one of them to learn how to use them. That is why I have a sketchbook only for that purpose. Which it has been a long while since I’ve updated it. Like I said before, I have a lot of art supplies and there are still a few that I haven’t swatch yet. And I have to do that soon.

Do not forget to give me a visit at The Senspirational ArtRoom. All I need is your support and now you can do so by going to my Patreon page. Or go to see my older drawings at DeviantArt. There are also many other sites that I am currently active. Never forget to add me at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and on Pinterest. Well, I’ll leave now. Be nice to others and have a nice day!

See you all later and take care,
