THE HERPLING ART SUPPLIES

Aka showing off some fun stuff I own

Painting

I paint in oil. Some Utrecht, some Gamblin, some assorted that I bought used for cheap. My setup is in my roomate's family's gazebo/shed/structure/thing.

My painting space

Drawing

My Sketchbook

sketchbook and box

I draw in a 6x9in Bee Paper Company sketchbook. Paper with a bit of cotton mixed in, holds the mediums I use well (pen, watercolor).

I hold most of my extra pens and pencils in a little metal box my mah got me for christmas. Has a nice, thick latch.

My Pens

Pentel Tradio, Micron, Brush pen Non.22 (unknown brand)

Love the tradio and Non.22 but they're not waterproof, so I only use them when inking comics, or playing around in sketchbooks.

Micron is for daily carry, multipurpose, anything. Mostly sketching in the sketchbook.

Watercolor Daily

Windsor and Newton Student travel watercolor set I got when I was 11. Cheapo brushes.

I like this for my daily carry. can pop it out anywhere I have water and work on sketches and concepts in color. I don't like watercolor nearly as much as oils, they're very strange and unpredictable to me, but I'm just happy to have colors.

Mixed Media

My pencils

my pencils

4B woodless graphite pencil, 2B lead barrel, 9B wooden pencil, H wooden pencil, 2B 0.7mm mechanical pencil (missing), Triangle Eraser.

I don't sketch with pencil in my everyday carrying sketchbook, only pen. Pencil is too smudgy, so I leav it for at-home mixed-media works

Extra wet-materials

Himi Gouache, Tamiya Laquer. Stencils. More cheap brushes, random inks.

I like a lot of the cheap stuff for playing around and experimenting, if that isn't evident. Himi gouache was cheap, and it has lasted me years. Lets me play around with my work a lot.

Laquer is acrylic, not natural. And I think it's for model painting, not art, but I love it dearly.
