I've been absolutely loving my graph gear 1000 pencil too. It's so nice because the weight is very well balanced which I think is why it feels so good in the hand.
I love pentel! I especially love their pocket brush pen, it lasts for so so long and I've been sketching with it almost daily for nine or ten years, I only had to replace it now because I stupidly trimmed the brush 😂💔 Watching you go through your most used supplies reminded me of your videos when you first shared these supplies so it felt so wholesome 🥰
OMG, Sketches -- I HAAATE the Pentel pocket brush pen! I can't control that floppy brush at all, and trying to get the cap on without splitting the bristles is super annoying. I ruined mine on purpose creating a drybrush background, so I could throw it away guilt free. 🔥💀🔥 That said, the Pentel Sign/Touch pens are some of my favorite pens to sketch and doodle with, and I have a pile of them in different colors. Favorite art supplies: too many to list, so I'll just pick the Koh-i-Noor TriTone colored pencils, which have three mixed complimentary colors in each pencil, so you get a lovely color variation when you use them. (I like any pencil with multicolored lead - I also have the Koh-i-Noor clutch pencil with the big 5.6mm "magic" lead.)
@@SketchesnScrubs Lol! You are absolutely right -- definite goldy locs vibes! I do love a variable line weight, but I'd rather control it (probably because I do a lot of comics and cartoony art). I struggled so bad with the pocket brush pen -- kept coming back to it time after time, and giving up in frustration. That learning curve was just too steep for me! 😂😂😂
Yes, I love the thick lead of that Koh-i-Noor clutch pencil. It feels so balanced when holding it -I got a softish lead and it is great to draw on a big sheet. Well done for mentioning it!
Good pencil does not make squeeky sound, the lead does not break as often, and the hand does not tire as much and you don’t get calluses. So I get it, good pencil is important. I have to say I prefere wooden pencils for drawing.
I also have Pentel mechanical pencil, because I want to have one for ages, no plastic. But it’s expensive so I keep it at home. Outside I use simple graphite ones. So good to share one of the favourite art supp with true artist
Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment Julia ! Sorry for the late reply, TH-cam has deleted almost all my replies lol so I am going back and replying again. Just wanted to say thank you in case you missed the first comment x
My favorite art supplies for watercolor are cotton paper from Arches, brushes from Silver Black Velvet or Princeton Neptune, and a good brush soap. I also enjoy inks, including water soluble inks from Ferris Wheel, Sailor and Pilot.
M Graham watercolors are really nice. They only come in tubes. . They rewet easily and stay moist and can run in a typical metal box. Your use of colors makes me feel happy and joyful looking at your paintings. What I enjoy about art are all the colors. Years ago I purchased the full 126 set of Caran D'Ache Neocolor 2s.
I actually got another one of the stay wet palettes today since I saw it was part of the prime day sale (and because I purchased a brand new professional set of gouache, mix of Daniel Smith and Winsor & Newton open stock and cannot wait to receive them) as well as one of those super small 8 pan wooden plein air palettes, because I want to keep one in my purse so I can paint wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Now, I'm thinking I should get one of those travel brush sets (to carry with me all the time), even though I did pick up the silver black velvet travel brush in a size 2 as well, since I use the size 8 so often. I just don't want to throw those in my purse/bag loose to get banged up.
I've missed seeing your TH-cam videos. Glad to see you're back, these supply reviews are always lots of fun. Of course they do have a tendency to encourage me to spend money I don't want to spend but that's okay.😂🥰
I love all art supplies, and am currently learning watercolor and gouache and how to use other media, like Neocolor IIs and colored pencils with them. I'm also intrigued with the idea of using water and/or alcohol with soft pastels. My most go-to combinations so far have been oils or oil pastels over an acrylic block-in. As you can imagine, I've spent tons of money on all these materials, and have enough to open my own store! Now to actually use everything...P.S. You have the best smile!!
I don’t think I could pick just one favorite brand so I’ll have to say anything watercolor and for urban sketching. Lately I’ve been getting back into sketching directly with watercolor then inking on top 😍
I love the graphgear 1000 and also ever so slightly addicted to neocolor ii's 😂, who ever has enough art supplies? I can always talk myself into buying more,great video as always 😊
So glad you mentioned the Pentel supplies. I agree with you that it’s not mentioned as much. I’m also a huge fan of the stay wet palette & the metal palettes you have mentioned. I really need to get or find a fountain pen soon. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video of Amazon favorites! Have a great day!
I love to use my ipad for art (i hope it counts as my go to art supply), but i love this video and to see new stuff other artists use for art! Very intrigued about the printer & ink that doesn’t smudge with water! I want itt!
I have been falling in love with 100% cotton watercolor papers lately. The first sketchbook I bought is Hahnemühle 100% cotton and I love it even though I am a bit scared to use it bc of the price. A bit later I found Saunders Waterford which is such a lovely paper and bought in sheets quite affordable. And I splurged on some sheets of Arches, have not been using it yet though. And Roman Szmal watercolors are my favourite watercolors ❤
Thanks for this video. Lots of great stuff in here. My favorite art supplies are any and all travel supplies (mostly watercolor because they travel very well). Brushes, sketchbooks, and accessories.
Love the graphgear pencil also!! I own 2. I think it’s the weight of the pencil it sits so nice in your hand!!! Favorite supply is definitely watercolor
I also love the Pentel Grapher 500... it has the lightest 0.5 lead and the weight of the pencil has helped me with my linework. I love the Baohong Academy sketchbook as well! Just began diving into Winsor+Newton professional range and I love them!
My favourite art supply are watercolors, but like you I started to branch out, to gouache, neocolor 2, oil pastel and even alcohol markers. Although I do tend to stick to my lightfast supplies.
You already know about my watercolor addiction (Da Vinci!), but another favorite art supply are my grey Microns and grey Pitt Artist brush pens, especially the light warm grey.
Im glad you mentined an underdog like Pental as they are good for stationary. I think papermate are another good one on pens (only tried the pens) as you can buy a pack of them and write well plus cheap but not nasty cheap! 😊
Just found your channel and love your style - your use of color is amazing. I’m a watercolor person, but look forward to seeing your gouache class. I thought I was missing something or got a bad journal when I bought a Moleskein watercolor journal - I wanted to love it but I also find that the sizing is really weird and often doesn’t work well with my watercolors.
Great video! I love so many of the products you mentioned in this video. The pentel graph gear pencils are the best! I have one in 0.9 but want to try others. Love how sturdy it feels, and the gnurled grip. I have the Pentel aquash aqua brush mini, I filled it with carbon black ink... It is my absolute favorite brush pen. I recommend a few things: The tombo mono zero eraser. It's like a mechanical pencil but it's an eraser and is amazing for small bits. I also love two pens for making varied line width drawings: The first is the pilot parallel pen (typically used for calligraphy). It comes in various sizes and I fil them with carbon ink. It creates an amazing line quality. The second is the Sailor fude fountain pen with the bent nib. Also amazing for sketching outdoors.
@@SketchesnScrubs excellent! Regarding adding in to the water brushes, you can also have a second one that's diluted with water if you want gray washes.
You are knowledgeable on what you put out there on your channel. I love it! So when you recommended to join the free gauche course, i wanted o take advantage of that and went to your site. But can I make a small suggestion if you don’t mind. I was trying to read all the other information on your site and it was very hard to read any of it. Your font colors were so illegible as it blended so much with your background, I was hardly able to make anything out. Would you mind changing the color of your font so it is more readable friendly and I would like to know more about the options you are offering, but was not able to make out! This is such a weird suggestion to make, isn’t it! Sorry if I have offended you! Your art is amazing and I just found your channel and would subscribed and would like to learn more from you. Thank you and sorry again!
I guess it differs per country. I'm from the Netherlands and very little in art supplies on Amazon is on sale at the moment, and literally nothing on my wishlist (which is extensive). :(
in addition to the supplies you mention, I like the Bright Creations red palette that allows for paint wells for tube paint and a section for half/full pans. Portable painter palette. Escoda travel brush sets.
I like your overview of materials, I would like to try your fine liners. I love Roman Szmal, Schmincke Hoordam and Winsor & Newton Professional watercolour paint. For brushes, I like Escoda Versatil, Princeton Aqua Elite and Jackson’s Ravens line of mop brushes. I struggle to find watercolour paper which is very good quality yet not outrageously expensive. Paper is very expensive in Canada probably because it’s imported from all over the world. I also like the Caran d’ache neocolour II watersoluable crayons and the Faber Castile Albert Durer watercolour pencils. When it comes to pencils, my choice is always Derwent for graphite pencils and coloured pencils. Drawing paper is usually Fabriano . How do you do your pretty flower swatch cards, draw them or stamp them? Thank you for sharing and have a great day .
I’ve been wanting a LAMY fountain pen but didn’t know which one to get so thank you for helping me spend my money 😂. I have ordered several colors of ink from Cult pens so I’m excited to use them in a fountain pen ❤
Fave art supplies .... how much time do you have 😂😂 W&N watercolour Holbien Acryla Gouache Pitt Pens Unipin and Micron liners CD Neo-color 2 Pentel and Uni Kuru toga mechanical pencils Posca Pens Arches paper Legion Stonehenge paper Good old biro (pen) I'll stop now! Hope you're well Sketches x Nell.
How fast gouache molds depends on the binder and bioside the manufacturer uses, or doesn't use. You can prevent mold by letting it dry out before sealing it, spritzing it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide from a mist bottle every few days or paintings, or putting in a little clove bud oil.
@@SketchesnScrubs Thank you love! That was super helpful. ❤️✝️🌹✝️❤️ I'm going to watch your set up video now - I saw @SarahBurnsStudio and that was also super helpful. Y'all are awesome!!

I can tell you why you like the Pentel pencils. Most of the higher end Pentel pencils (in addition to having comfortable bodies) use their Hi-poly lead, which is very smear resistant for us watercolorists. The only pencil I have found that is better is the Blackwing, but those are REALLY expensive. So get a Pentel. :-)

Do you ever have issues with your gouache going moldy? So far, US Art Supply gouache is super moldy super fast in that palette.
How fast gouache molds depends on the binder and bioside the manufacturer uses, or doesn't use. You can prevent mold by letting it dry out before sealing it, spritzing it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide from a mist bottle every few days or paintings, or putting in a little clove bud oil.

What kind of ink the printer must have? in my mind, I always thought all ink cartridges from printers were waterproof. 🤔
