What materials we will use at the marathon

This is the most affordable creative online course!

For the course you will need:

  • Paper: you can start with regular office paper or a sketchbook. Later, it’s more pleasant to draw graphics on watercolor paper — it’s thicker;
  • A set of graphite pencils of different hardness for drawing and graphics (prices start at about 200 rubles for a pack of 12);
  • Eraser or kneaded eraser;
  • Liner 0.1–0.3 (a special fineliner pen, prices start at about 100 rubles per piece);
  • Ruler;
  • Knife or sharpener.
