What Materials are needed for the course?

Nothing fancy- just a pen or pencil and paper!

I will be using a pencil to sketch out the flourishes and pentel touch sign brush pens or Tombow Twintone markers to go over the graphite in ink. Feel free to use whatever writing utensils feel most comfortable for you!

You will also need to download and print the practice worksheets for the class, which you will find under the "Projects & Resources" Tab.
