6 Must-Have Tools For Budding Artists

These days, we can buy practically anything off the internet. But among millions of art supplies and tools, some are really eye-catching. Here is a list of the top six creative drawing tools that can be bought online:

1. Roll-Up Paintbrush Holder:

While storage containers or pencil cases help you organize your supplies, they are not really suitable for carrying around. A roll-up bag lets you store many brushes, or tools at once and is also suitable while travelling.

2. Mini Dust-Cleaning Brush:

These small but effective brushes pick up all those annoying bits and pieces left on your desk. They also come with a mini dustpan for ease of scraping.

3. Pencil Extender:

These drawing tools, easily available online, are small pieces of wood or metal that are attached to the end of a pencil when it becomes too short to hold. That means extra life for your favourite drawing pencil.

4. Empty Comic Books:

These come with pages filled with pre-made templates. Budding comic artists can use this product to maintain their creative flow.

5. Artists’ Manikins:

Manikins are small wooden or plastic figures of humans that are very useful for artists interested in anatomy. While mannequins are life-sized figures and have to be scaled down on paper to be taken for reference, manikins are smaller, portable, and hence more functional for drawing. They even allow you to change their postures, thanks to their moving joints.

6. Proportioners:

Getting the proportions right from a reference photo and scaling it down correctly onto paper is a genuine struggle. However, a proportioner (notably the Acurit Proportioner) does the work for you. It helps you measure the proportions and easily transfers them onto your drawing.

These drawing tools can be easily sourced from art supply websites, so be sure to check them out!
