What is your favorite brand of art supply? Whether it’s a brand of pencils or brand of camera or software
I have to say caren d’ache luminance I’ve only recently started to use then but they are amazing to use. Such rich colours and the strength of the lead is very good.

I’d say that draw everyday, minute you get a chance too. Practice is everything, and you can do anything if you work hard enough to achieve it.
