Studio Chat – Our Five Favourite Art Supplies
Today we are here to spill the beans on some of our favorite art supplies and design hacks that have been total game-changers for us!
Let’s dive right in, shall we?
- Tombow Markers
First up, let’s talk about markers. If you’re anything like us, you’re a die-hard Tombow fan. Those markers are like magic wands in the hands of artists! We also love Posca pens. They’re refillable, versatile, and perfect for adding a pop of color to any project. Plus, they work wonders on various surfaces, from paper to shoes!
- Paperlike Screen Protector
A must-have for digital artists: a screen protector called Paperlike. Trust me, it’s a game-changer! Not only does it make drawing on your iPad smoother, but it also reduces glare, giving you a crystal-clear canvas to work on.
- Pantone Packs
If you’re a designer, you definitely need to get into Pantone! Sure, it might seem like a big investment at first, but having those color guides handy can be a lifesaver when you’re working with clients or suppliers. Plus, they make color-matching a breeze!
- Moleskin notebooks
We love these notebooks! We love the weight of the paper, the fact that our markers don’t seep through the page, and the range of sizes available. We keep them everywhere, in our handbags, at our desk, in the glovebox of the car – they are super versatile for a wide range of art practices and we can’t recommend them enough!
5. Time Management Cubes
Ever heard of time management cubes? They’re a simple yet effective tool for staying on track and making the most of your creative hours. We use them all the time – especially for those less appealing tasks that we keep putting off!
So there you have it, folks! A sneak peek into our toolbox of art supplies and design hacks. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, I hope these tips help spark some creativity and make your creative journey a little smoother. Happy creating!
