Pencil wrap from Derwent pencils, very handy for keeping pencils safe if transporting them to use elsewhere. |
2 |
Battery operated eraser, great for erasing small areas as you can be very precise with it.
These can be bought from Millers Art www.millers-art.co.uk |

Used ballpoint pen that no longer works. I use this to do impressed lines before putting coloured pencil over the top to give me cats whiskers or my signature. |

Lyra blender pencil, made from clear wax to blend colour together and give a smooth finish called burnishing. Not everyone likes to burnish, that is down to personal choice, it is not something I do very often. |

Putty eraser, handy for removing large areas but can be very hard on your paper. You can also use things like blutack in the same way. |
6 |
Frisket paper, clear low tack paper for removing unwanted pencil but you can see through it enabling you to remove very precisly. Can also be found at www.millers-art.co.uk |
7 |
Masking tape works like frisket paper too but is less accurate due to not being able to see through it as clearly. Great for removing large areas of unwanted pigment. |

Pencil sharpeners are a must as you get a better finish is your pencil is always sharp. I use an electric one at home but take a small one if travelling. You can also get battery operated ones but make sure it is a screw type one and not a standard pencil sharpener with a motor. |

Pencil extenders are handy as they allow you to keep using your pencil right down to the stub. |
