What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Sketching Pencil Set (HB, 2B, 4B)
RequiredA range of pencil grades lets you vary line darkness — HB for light construction lines, 2B for features, 4B for deep shadow. You will use these for every practice session through the full six-step quest.
Pigma Micron Ink Pen Set (01, 05, 08)
RequiredPigma Micron pens are the standard choice for inking caricature work — archival, waterproof once dry, and available in three nib widths that give you line-weight control. The 01/05/08 set covers everything from fine detail to bold outlines.
Watercolor Half-Pan Travel Set
A compact watercolor set lets you add color to your inked caricatures quickly. Watercolor works beautifully over Micron ink and is easy to carry to coffee shops or TRAX stops for live sketching practice.
