I love these pencils and this pen. Put them together, and they’re my current most-favorite-supplies combo.
Here, they’re combined with a touch of colored pencil.
And a bit more than a touch here, but still, mostly pen and pencil. The color brings some focus: here it highlights the delicious baked goods at Greenlee’s Bakery.
And sometimes, I leave out all color, like in the sketch below.
Do you have a favorite supply? Or a combination of supplies that you’re loving currently? Has it changed over time? I’d love to hear what that must-have stuff in your sketch kit is…
Sketch Away: Travels with my sketchbook 
These last months a lot of ink with pilot retractable pen and non-glare graphite. Like you often with no color. Even some graphite and watercolor with ink for highlights. Love these.

I love my TWSBI pen with waterproof ink! In medium. Love the bold lines I get! It’s an essential part of my to go pack! Also like the tombow grey marker to do some easy shadows in ink drawings!

I need a TWSBI, I think. it’s juicier than a LAMY safari right? I find the lamy “safe” but without magic ( in my hands, that is)

The lamy is much safer for sure. The TWSBI tends to leak if it gets warm. That is the only problem. So it’s my easy going pen. Once, when I went to lunch it got too hot and pooped ink everywhere! I should just use my lamy with broad nib

Oh, I’ll take inky fingers and the occasional disaster for a pen I like 🙂

Watercolor pencils have been my main go-to for years! But not too many colors — maybe just 7 or 8 at a time. Also a black brush pen (the kind with a flexy, rubbery nib but not bristles). I think if I have just those in my bag at all times, I’m happy.

These days I’ve been into charcoal a lot. Really enjoying it.
