DIGITAL:
I use both of these in tandem most often. These are my go-to digital art tools. They are so versitile in terms of creative applications at your disposal. The ease of travel with these two also lends itself to more ability to create.
This computer is a powerhouse! I use this computer for everything. I can connect my iPad if I need more power yet still want to draw. It takes on digital painting tasks, video editing, and photography editing wihtout problem! My battery life is more than enough for my daily uses, and when it needs to charge, it doesn't take long.
This small yet powerful device has truly become a staple in my creation process. I use it nearly every day and it has completely transformed my work flow. It maximizes efficiency and makes the creation process even more enjoyable.
This application is a fundamental program in my work. It has taken me through a lot of my digital art journey and is still an incredibly important/powerful tool in my box today.
This software is continuously becoming more important to my practice every day. I use it on both my computer and my iPad, utilizing its cloud service as well as its many resources. This in tandem with my iPad and TourBox is currently my favorite set of tools.
I use this program often, whenever editing artistic photography, or even product photos. I paint in photoshop as well, however, not as often as I do in CSP.
This is my go to software for designing layouts and putting together portfolios. While it can be clunky to learn, this program is extremely powerful and useful. Learning it and investing in it is one of the best things I have done.
I utilize blender whenever I need to accomplish anything in 3D. Predominantly, I use it to help along with angles that are particularly hard to wrap my head around. This software is incredibly powerful and great for both getting a start or advancing in 3D modeling.
TRADITIONAL:
I love this sketchbook! The paper is thick, smooth, and has a wonderful cream color to it! Not to mention the size of it is nice for being able to sketch both big and small. It is by far one of my favorite sketchbooks out there.
I cling to these pens! They are my go to pens for sketching. They have the ability to get such fine, delicate, light lines yet also create a bold dark line...which is perfect for sketching with tonal range! These pens are also pretty good about not smudging. They are my favorite to sketch with and my go-to tool to reach for!
This pack of vine charcoal is super high quality for an affordable price. It comes with a variety of sizes and hardnesses and is my favorite to keep on hand. The bag lasts quite a long time. I always turn to this when doing gesture drawings.
I love combining this with my vine charcoal for gesture drawing warm ups. This paper is inexpensive and I usually use both the back and front of every piece.
