The Essential Drawing Materials Every Illustrator Needs
About this episode
Our top tips for choosing the best drawing materials.
(Don’t let materials trip you up - they're a distraction)
Start where you are, use what you have.
Fancy materials can freeze you up / feel like too much pressure
Your choice of drawing materials can help you blast through a pesky creative block. Rough and ready! Cheap! Easy to grab!
