Hi, I’m Dylan. This is a small site about the stuff you actually need to start drawing and painting, and the stuff you can happily skip.
I buy most things with my own money, usually the cheapest version first, and I use them for a few weeks before I write anything. When a student-grade set does the job, I’ll tell you. When a few extra dollars gets you something much better, I’ll tell you that too. I don’t get free products, and I’m not a professional artist. I’m just someone who has spent a lot of time standing in the art aisle comparing prices.
If you’re stuck on what to buy, or you think I got something wrong, write to me at [email protected]. I read everything and answer as soon as I can, usually within a couple of days.
