Beginners only need to choose HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B. These are the most commonly used pencils in sketching. The pencil of H-6h is suitable for describing the details and very subtle places of sketch, and novices don't need it for the time being.
Sketch paper can be made into thin paper at first, and the price is relatively low, usually a few cents. It is still possible to practice shaping and simple light and shade exercises. The disadvantage is that this kind of paper is not conducive to repeated erasure, and the later sketches are replaced by thick sketch paper.
Of course, you can choose according to your personal conditions. In short, sketch paper is thick, clear and tactile, and the rough side is the front, which is used for drawing and easy to color.
Extended data:
The choice of tools depends on the artistic effect that the painter wants to achieve. Generally speaking, dry pen is suitable for making clear lines, and ink pen is suitable for expressing planes; Exquisite strokes can be brushed with a brush, and vast fields can be outlined with a pencil or chalk.
Charcoal pen can be used for both. Understanding tools is the first condition to complete a good work, and different works need different tool languages to express them, so as to better reflect the effect of the picture and make the work successful.
From the size of the work, large-scale sketch works are suitable for drawing with charcoal pen, and the outline and carefulness can be carefully studied and analyzed for a long time. As for pencils, they are suitable for smaller sizes. There are few large pencils, while pen strokes are smaller, so they are often used more in illustrations.
