Here you’ll find the things I actually use, a few favorite books, and the supplies I need to do what I do. From pencils that feel good in your hand to sketchbooks that welcome the chaos — every item here has earned its spot.
Whether you’re brand new, returning after decades, or just feeling lost in the art aisle, this list is for you.
