LESSON NOTES

Because this course is focused on principles that you can apply in any medium, I recommend that you do the assignments in the medium you are most comfortable with.

You can work digitally or traditionally.

👉 If you are working in traditional media:
I would recommend graphite pencil over charcoal because it is simpler and cleaner.

Here are the recommended materials:

  • 2B pencil 
  • 2H pencil
  • Kneadable eraser
  • Mechanical eraser (Tuff Stuff or BM2)
  • Cheap sketching paper for quick assignments
  • White Canson Mi-Teintes paper (160g) for more involved assignments
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Sandpaper pad (optional)
  • Cutter (optional)




If you work digitally, the graphic tablet I recommend for most people is the Wacom Intuos M:


You can use any digital painting application and device you like. All digital painting demos in the course are done in Adobe Photoshop. If you're curious, you can find a fantastic free intro to drawing and digital painting at www.ctrlpaint.com.
