MATERIALS YOU'LL NEED
A few sketching pencils ranging from a firmer HB through to a darker 6B, 7B or 8B. I use a carbon pencil for darker tones to avoid graphite shine but that's not essential.
5 sheets of drawing paper (A4 or American letter size) or a sketchbook of similar size.
An eraser (I prefer a kneadable eraser).
A pencil sharpener
