How to choose drawing and painting supplies
Start with what you want to create. Colored pencils, fine markers and gel pens work well for coloring books. For sketching and exploring light and shade, choose graphite pencils or charcoal. Watercolors offer translucent layers and soft transitions, while acrylic paints let you work with bolder, more opaque areas of color.
For coloring books, color transitions and fine details
Colored pencils let you build up layers, shade and adjust color intensity through pressure. Choose felt-tip pens and markers according to their ink and nib shape — a fine tip helps with small motifs, while a brush tip offers a variable line width. Fineliners are useful for outlines and hatching, and gel pens add colorful accents. With more fluid inks, first check whether they bleed through the paper.
When you want to add water and a brush
Watercolor paints and watercolor pencils allow you to dissolve color and create soft transitions. Use watercolor paper for wet techniques and adjust the amount of water to suit its properties. Acrylic paints can be used on paper, canvas and other surfaces, depending on the intended use of the particular product.
For expressive drawing and new surfaces
Pastels and chalks offer further ways to explore color marks and surface texture. Inks are useful for drawing and experimenting with lines. Want to decorate rocks? Choose paints and markers suitable for their surface; consider a protective varnish for the finished picture according to the paint used and where you intend to display it.
Start with fewer colors and add favorite shades gradually
You do not need the largest set straight away. A few well-chosen colors will help you discover whether a technique suits you. Individual colored pencils and markers then let you replace used-up shades or try something new. When choosing, look at the specific range, the properties of the tool and a suitable surface — the number of colors alone does not determine the result.
