Requirements

This course does not require prior knowledge.

Materials:

1. Smooth paper, without strong texture, with the density from 120 to 200g, it can be office paper, special marker paper, such as Canson The Wall, Bristol.

2. 0.3 or 0.5 thickness liner, I have Winsor&Newton, you can also use Uni, Faber Castell, Sacura Micron, Copic.

3. alcohol brush markers (on one side a brush, on the other - a chisel) of grey shades from the lightest to the darkest. Make sure they are of the same coldness-warmness, for example, cold grey. I have Winsor&Newton's cold grey markers, I use CG1, CG3, CG4,CG5 and black XB. You can use alcoholic markers from Copic, Touch or other brands, from the lightest or second lightest and further over one to the darkest. For example cold gray CG0.5, CG2, CG4, CG6, CG8 or warm gray WG1, WG3, WG5, WG7, WG9.

4. Not necessary, but it may come in handy - pencil and eraser, if you are not sure, you can build a preliminary drawing with a pencil. However, I strongly recommend that you do not draw everything with a pencil, because if you outline the line with a pencil, your line will lose a lot of vividness and ease. And a white gel pen, in case we forget to draw a glare somewhere.
