It can be such a hassle when you get colored pencils and they break! That’s why I like these. The inside color core is pretty think, so you’ll be able to use them for a long time.
To be honest, I don’t really use a pencil set that much, but if you’re starting out or doing a lot of shading with pencils then I recommend them.
There are different grades of pencils, and when you’re starting out you don’t know which one you’ll like the most.
Getting an inexpensive but high quality pencil set allows you to try different pencil grades and an assortment of drawing supplies.
Plus this one allows you to work in grey tones with the pencils, black with the charcoals, or add some color with the conte sticks!
Looking for something cute and colorful? Well, a pencil set doesn’t have to be the same boring colors anymore.
Castle is offering a limited time deal on a set of 72 colored pencils. Intense, creamy pigments with a money back guarantee.
Cheaper version of Copic Markers. Seemless blending, refillable ink, and 120 vibrant colors.
Cheaper version of Prismacolor Colored Pencils. 72 rich colors that won’t break.

I found an inexpensive but great quality iPad so you can start drawing in Procreate.
Just getting Photoshop alone is $23/month. That’s almost $300/year.
By getting this iPad and Procreate you’re spending about the same BUT you have it for LIFE.
You pay once and you pretty much get to use it forever!
There are many cheap styluses out there, but I find the Apple Pencil is the best quality by far.
The problem is that the pencil is quite expensive.
Well, here’s a cheaper price Apple Pencil.
Have a great day,
