I've been asked so many questions about the materials I use that I thought I'd put this together, and try and answer as many questions as I can within it.
And anyway, I haven't seen many tutorials dealing with materials around, so perhaps it will come in useful for someone. I hope so!
It deals with very basic things, but these are things I had to find out for myself. I figure I should pass them on, and save someone else the trouble.

All in all it took me about 2.5 hours, and was put together in Photoshop CS. I did all the drawing, and took all the photographs myself.
I'm sorry it's so big. There was a lot to put in, and I didn't want to make it too cramped.

Inspired by 's wonderful tutorials, which deal with all sorts of things, rather than just being walkthoughs.

Enjoy =D

This is lovely! Definately an amazing find. ;p
This is incredibly useful. I had no idea you could use a paintbrush to dust. That would really help me. :XD: Yes, your anecdotes are b-e-a-utiful.
And alos the comments above, especially the one about the use of cotton balls, have been useful. Thanks guys.
THANK YOU for doing this. I :heart: it.
But now I want a kneadable eraser. :lol:

Oh, what a lovely comment! So sweet of you. =) I'm glad this is useful for you! (And thanks for the :+fav:!)
You shouldn't have too much trouble finding a kneadable eraser. Art stores stock them, and I also often find them in newsagents or office supply stores. And they're nice and cheap, too! =D

I'll locate one this weekend, I think I'm going in that general direction. Oo
But I have a niggling feeling that I'll just play with it all the time. :lol:
But yeah! Cheap definately is a bonus. :love: :heart:

They are indeed good to play with! One of my arty friends would mould them into all sorts of tiny sculptures when she was bored. =)

Some people live in boxes. I stand outside the box and kick it over 'cause it looked at me funny.
