DANIEL’S MATERIALS:
Pens
Pigma 3.0 - Makes nice flat marks - Very dry
Pilot Parallel Pen - Intense and bold - Great for drawing straight lines and buildings - Filled with custom ink because the original ink isn't good
Micron 08 - My go-to pen - Evolves as it ages
Kuretake Number 13 Brush Pen - Cool but the tip lasts only about a week
Winsor & Newton 1.0 Pen - Bold and thick - Durable tip, unlike the Micron 1.0
Tombow Hard Brush Pen - Unopened - Great for intentional, slow lines
Bic Crystal 1.6mm Ballpoint Pen - Classic but gunky
Signo Uniball Gel Pen - The most opaque gel pen available
Copic Multiliner 0.8 - Great for panel lining - Durable tip but runs out of ink quickly
Pencils and Graphite
Pentel 0.9 Pencil - Tried and true - I love the 0.9 size
Neox Graphite - Highly recommended
Brushes
Pentel Aquash Brush - Used for watercoloring on the go - One of my favorite and most relaxing activities
Pentel Brush Pen (Not Pocket Version) - Great for filling in big black spots - Doesn't hold well if erased over
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen - Delicate with a 50-50 chance of being solid - Ink sometimes comes out too fast - Pro tip: dry the ink on a paper towel before making a fine line
Zebra Brush Pen - Great ink - Durable tip - Waterproof
Other Tools
10-Point Divider - Used for perspective drawing and technical illustration - Very helpful for drawing comics
Blick Blade Cutter - Used for cutting tones on the road
AIN Japanese Erasers - Usually used but currently out of stock - The type of lead used is more important for erasing pencil lines over inks
Presto Whiteout - Thick and not acid-free - Likely to yellow in 10 years - Used daily
Akashiya Thin Line Pen - Okay but wobbly and dry
