What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Micron Pen Set
RequiredThe go-to fineliner for ink illustration. Multiple tip sizes let you vary line weight, and the archival ink won't bleed or fade over time.
Mixed Media Sketchbook
RequiredA hardcover sketchbook with paper thick enough to handle ink without bleed-through. You'll fill several of these before you're done.
Dip Pen and Nib Set
Once you outgrow microns, a dip pen gives you expressive, variable line weight that changes with pressure. Great for developing a personal style.
