Art FAQ

Here you can find info about my frequently used art materials ♡

  • When I draw on PC I use Wacom Intuos Pro drawing tablet with Photoshop. I mainly use the standard brushes that come with Photoshop. I’m using a PS app called Lazy Nezumi Pro to make drawing smooth lines easier.

    I also use iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. With iPad I’m using Procreate with both standard brushes as well as various brush packs from fellow creators. And when I want to create vector art I'm using Adobe Fresco (for example I’m sometimes using this to create patterns).

  • I’m currently using mainly Schmincke Horadam, Prima Marketing Pastel and Holbein Artists Pastel watercolors, Schmincke + Holbein being my favorites as they’re very vibrant and high quality paints.

    I usually prefer the ones that don’t granulate & come in watercolor tubes. I arrange the colors to a Meeden watercolor palette. I also like to use Finetec Coliro Pearlcolors for pretty shimmery details.

  • My preferred gouache paints are Holbein Artists basics + pastels, Daler Rowney Designers + Holbein Acryla acrylic gouache and Shinhan Pass watercolor/gouache hybrid. My favorites are the Holbein ones.

  • I like to use acrylic inks as they have superior water resistance. My favorite acrylic inks are Liquitex Professional ink, Daler Rowney FW ink and Royal Talens Amsterdam ink - Liquitex being my most used one of these.

  • I like to use colored pencils for sketching, Prismacolor Col-Erase and Pilot Color Eno being my favorites as they’re erasable.

    For linework, if I’m not using ink, I like to use Faber Castell PITT Artists Pens and Pilot Brush Pen (soft). Sometimes I also use Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, but prefer the Pilot pen as in my opinion it’s easier to control.

    For white details, most of the time I use white Uni Posca marker (PC-1MR 0.7mm) as they are beautifully opaque and fluid.

    I also like to experiment with colored PC-1M Posca pens + Polychromos & Holbein Artists colored pencils sometimes. I often also use the Holbein colored pencils for little color details on top of my paintings.

  • I like to use synthetic brushes, my favorites being Jackson’s Artica White Toray, Winsor & Newton Cotman, Princeton Velvetouch and Leonhardy 374 Super Star brushes (Leonhardy is a local brand that I got from a local art store).

  • I almost always use 300 g/m2 100% cotton paper (both hot and cold press, but most of the time hot press as I prefer a smooth paper surface) for my final traditional paintings. My favorite papers are Arches and Fabriano Artistico.

    My favorite sketchbooks are Mossery sketchbooks & Crescent RENDЯ No Show Thru softcover sketchbooks.
