Every drawing practice starts with a few key tools.
DeSerres brings together the essentials: graphite and charcoal pencils, quality paper, erasers, blending stumps and fixatives, from the brands artists and art students rely on. Whether you're just starting out or building on an existing practice, this is where to begin.
What do I need to start drawing?
A basic drawing kit doesn't need to be complicated. Start with a set of graphite pencils in a few hardness grades (HB, 2B, 4B cover most needs), a sketchpad with at least 90 g/m2 paper, a kneaded eraser and a blending stump. From there, you can add charcoal for looser, more expressive work, or coloured pencils for illustration. Explore our Graphite and Charcoal Pencils, Pencils and Pastels, Paper and Drawing Accessories to build your kit.
