This is the tin on my table right now. It changes a little every few months, and I’ll keep this page up to date.
Pencils
- A 48 count set of student grade colored pencils, my everyday workhorse
- Six or seven softer artist pencils that I save for the parts I care about
- A white pencil and a pale cream one, for gentle blending
Paper
- Smooth, heavier paper for pencil work, around 120 gsm or more
- Thick card stock when I print a page at home and want to use markers
- A scrap sheet under my hand, always
Little extras
- A small sharpener with a lid, which keeps shavings off the table
- A soft kneaded eraser
- A mug, of course, set well away from the page
If you want to know why I picked any of these, ask me. My address is on the Tea Break Mail page.
