And I name all the colored pencils I use. So draw with me! I’ve used the polychromos from Faber Castell. A wonderful brand of colored pencils, They are oilbased and work really well on drafting film, without the risk of waxbloom. Waxbloom can cause problems on drafting film because fixatives can cause problems on the surface , so I avoid to use them!
There is a list of colors included.
I work on grafix drafting film, but other drafting films can be used too. Some are a little smoother and take less layers. Besides that I use an eraser pencil from faber castell, sometimes an electric eraser (tihoo) and a wonderful tool is the ceramic knife. I use the craftsknife from Slice.
