The Essential Drawing Materials Every Illustrator Needs

The Good Ship Illustration

Our top tips for choosing the best drawing materials.
(Don’t let materials trip you up - they're a distraction)

Start where you are, use what you have.

Fancy materials can freeze you up / feel like too much pressure

Your choice of drawing materials can help you blast through a pesky creative block. Rough and ready! Cheap! Easy to grab!
