Paint your own Inky Cat using the techniques demonstrated in the course. Every cat has its own unique personality and feel. Have fun capturing that spirit in ink.

Pencil (I like to use a harder lead pencil, like a 2H or 3H but use what feels comfortable)

Pencil Sharpener

Kneaded Eraser

Brushes (I like to use these cheap synthetic brushes)

Paper Towel
