We all wonder when someone draws something quickly on a moving train or bus by looking at someone or any object. As an art enthusiast, I've always aspired to achieve that skill level, knowing it requires practice and a deep understanding of anatomy. We all wanted to have basic art supplies, but we didn’t know when and where to get them. We need basic supplies like a pencil; having such an art kit will cost a lot. It is challenging to have such art kits, especially if you are an international student or a person living on a limited budget.
In this blog, I am going to introduce a product that you are all going to love. It is nothing more than a sketching set that costs you just five dollars, the best product in the market to kick-start your art journey.
Where to buy the kit?
If you are living in Canada, you can get it anywhere from the dollar stores. But I hope the entire North America has dollar stores and an art supply section. But if you have a Walmart superstore, they too have an art supply section, which is much costlier than a dollar store.
What does the kit consist of?
It consists of:
A mannequin
An eraser
A sharpener
Five pencils are h, 3hb, 6hb, soft, and hard charcoal.
A pencil tube is a container where we can safely store pencils, erasers, and sharpeners while taking this kit on a trip.
Who should use this kit?
People looking forward to pursuing their passion should use this kind of kit. As mentioned, this kit is technical, so you can familiarise yourself with these to use more specialized materials. This art kit is like a starting kit; you only need to invest a little money to have it. So, you guys will have the confidence to use it without feeling guilty about spoiling your cash. It could be better technical gear, but it is the best option for a beginner.
I still emphasize this for all art lovers: This kit is only for beginners who are kick-starting their careers.
How will I use the art kit?
The mannequin has adjustable elbows and joints, so it can be adjusted to stay in the positions we need to sketch and learn symmetry drawing. The key feature of the art kit is that it's effortless and weightless to carry and practice whenever and wherever we want to. After adjusting the position, it will look like a human being posing for a photograph. This is the best way to learn your own drawing style without depending on anybody. We don’t want a model anymore! Let's be independent in our creativity.
After viewing it, sketch the pose using the HB pencil, which is lighter than the basic pencil shade. Then, you can use different pencils, like 3hb and 6hb, for darker outlines. The extra benefit of having this kit is that we have soft and hard charcoal, which can be used to shade according to the artistic view to show the lighting and shadows on the mannequin. All these touching effects can provide more realism to your art. These can be only achieved by keenly observing the symmetry and lighting on the object you are drawing.
These are the basic baby steps to kick-start your art career without hassle. After reading this blog, if you have any more content to be included, you are free to comment below.
