Books, I suggest you buy some introductory books. (Make up the basic knowledge first and then gradually increase the difficulty ~ buy more recommended by the teacher ~) When you are strong enough, buy a set of books with perfect teaching (mainly sketches and headshots). In terms of color, I suggest you buy the one that has been successfully taught (the color is not bad). During this period, you can gradually read the works of some masters and improve your level!
Painting tools, gouache: the cherry blossoms are not bad (that is, they are expensive to death, and some sell one set), so is Wang Bao's (I strongly support this one, especially the beige one), the red one is not bad, and Xie Detang's is not bad (the advantage is that it is cheap ~ don't buy his light brown one, it will burst if there are too many blisters, and the bristles will curl if used for a long time, and his green one is better).
Pencil: Mitsubishi is good (that is, 2.5 yuan), and an old man can break his head (easily).
Drawing paper: Daqian and the old man's head are also good (the advantage is that there is a stamp on the front, so you don't have to look for it) (don't buy all white paper, the effect is not good). It's best to have eight sizes of sketchbooks, so which size will you take in the exam ~
The colors of 44 and 45 in the color mixing box are better, and the pigments should be canned (Mali's is not bad, (the previous one was 3.5 cans), especially the new color of a can of 2 yuan money is quite nice. The price of Gome is similar to that of Mali, but the advantage is that it can be directly colored without adjustment. The color of Cui Wen is about 1.4, which looks better. I prefer to buy his white, which is more economical and the color is not biased. The price of Phoenix ranks among the three. . . . . . Attention! The above colors, especially Gome's special love for long hair, need a scraper at this time! Square-headed)
As for the palette, I prefer to support a long one like a dinner plate, and a round one can stretch a few fingers. Bucket? Very well compressed and easy to carry (as long as it doesn't leak, use whatever you like ~)
