STUDIO ESSENTIALS.
Here, I share the materials I use to create my art. From coloured pencils and markers to fine liners and quality papers, each tool helps me bring my ideas to life. Here, you'll get a glimpse of what I work with and how these tools shape my process and style.
FABER-CASTELL POLYCHROMOS PENCILS.
Polychromos pencils are my go-to when I want colour to feel alive on the page. Their oil-based cores glide on with a controlled, velvety smoothness that lets me build layers slowly, like glazing paint. I love how sharply they hold a point for delicate lines, yet blend into soft, luminous gradients without that waxy haze.
The pigments feel deep and permanent, so every mark has a sense of intention and staying power. When I work with them, the process feels both precise and quietly expressive.
SAKURA MICRON & PILOT G-TEC PENS.
Fine liner pens like the Pigma Micron from Sakura and the G-Tec-C4 from Pilot Corporation feel like drawing with pure intention. Their precise, consistent ink lets me move from whisper-thin lines to confident contours without hesitation, capturing detail exactly as I see it. I love how clean and archival the marks remain — no smudging, no fading - just crisp structure that anchors my coloured work. With them, every line feels deliberate, like the quiet framework that lets the rest of the piece breathe.
WINSOR & NEWTON PROMARKERS.
Working with ProMarkers from Winsor & Newton feels immediate and fluid, like colour moving at the speed of thought. The alcohol-based ink lays down in smooth, even tones that blend seamlessly while the dual tips let me shift from broad, confident strokes to crisp details without breaking rhythm. I love how vibrant and clean the colours stay, especially when layered to build depth and subtle transitions. They bring a bold, contemporary energy to my work, where every pass of colour feels decisive and alive.
WATERCOLOUR & BRISTOL PAPER.
I've learned that good quality acid-free paper makes as much difference as the pencils themselves. It keeps my colours true over time, without yellowing or dulling, so the work feels built to last. Bristol paper gives me a beautifully smooth, firm surface that's perfect for fine detail and controlled layering with coloured pencils, while watercolour paper offers a gentle tooth that grips pigment and lets me build richer depth and subtle texture. Each surface changes how the colour settles and breathes, and choosing between them feels like choosing the mood of the piece before the first mark is made.
