The supplies you need for drawing depends on the kind of artwork you want to create. When you first start drawing, you might be able to get by with a few basic supplies such as a pencil, an eraser and paper. As your drawing skills advance and you grow as an artist, you will likely want to explore new drawing materials and techniques.
Drawing supplies you may want to have on-hand include:

• Pencils and colored pencils
• Pencil sharpeners
• Pens and markers
• Gel pens
• Chalk pens
• Charcoal & graphite
• Pastels
• Art Erasers
• Rulers
• Drafting supplies
• Drawing boards
• Fine paper and supports
• Drawing tools

Keep in mind that depending on the medium you use, there are specific drawing papers made for each type of medium. Rough paper tends to work best for chalks, charcoal, and pastel pencils. Smooth, "hot pressed" paper works well for ink and pen drawings. Medium textured paper is a good all-around paper, and it is called either "cold pressed" or "NOT" to indicate that it is not hot pressed. By pairing the right paper with the right drawing medium, you can ensure the best look for your drawings and illustrations.
