I know that there are hundreds of different artists and everyone is working in a different way, but I think that a pencil and a piece of paper has been once or twice on your working desk. I myself can not call myself a painter actually. I am and have worked usually with graphite/charcoal. Of course I am planning and i have done some works with acrylic. I will for sure do some in the near future too.
But for now i wanted to talk about the importance of having the right tools for yourself. Through the years I have learned that it is extremely important to know your tools, to know which pencil fits for you, how soft or hard it should be. Little things like that.
When i started I was not giving a lot of attention to it. That was when really learned and burned myself when I started to notice the little things. Like even the way how I was holding my pencil. Especially when I was working with charcoal. That is why in my How To Draw videos a lot of people started to get annoyed about me twisting and turning the pencil all the time. Which i did because I could get the pencil sharper, the lines thinner and it is some kind of a natural technique i learned as the time went buy. I think it is crucial to pay attention to your style to those little things, because in order to grow and not to stand at one place for a long time, development is needed.
