Tools of the Trade.
Art is everything. But naturally you need tools of
various sorts to get it out of your system as well.
The Equipment
Creating and presenting all the material here naturally requires tools. Not just paper, fineliners and markers, which are nearly mandatory.
The process doesn’t end on the actual paper. It continues inside a scanner, gets transferred as ones and zeros to computer, is reassembled on the editing software, is projected on the screen….
The Opinion
Since I am a “tool nerd”, and I assume some of you are too, I thought it’d be nice to share with you what I use and why. To shed light behind the creation process, so to speak.
The reviews are based on my perceptions and are not to be treated as scientific truths based on laboratory measurements.
The Feedback
Whether you’re a musician, artist, graffiti writer or just a random bypasser, let me know your thoughts.
If you disagree with a review of mine, awesome, you are more than encouraged to do so. And while at it, why not consider sharing your opinion with me as well!
Related Content.
In addition to reviewing the actual tools used for making art, I also try to highlight both the software and hardware involved — even if the sketches themselves aren’t directly dependent on my computer setup, software, or phone. Still, all of these play a role in getting the material digitized and presented here on this site.
When possible, I try to mention where I purchased the reviewed equipment.
Although the main content here is focused on sketches, I’ll occasionally feature some of my finished work as well — like canvases, graffiti, or murals — as long as they’re directly linked to the sketching theme. For example, if I’ve painted something based on a sketch I’m posting, I’ll try to include a photo of the final piece alongside it. However, I won’t be reviewing acrylic or spray paints here, as that falls outside the scope of this site — which is all about the sketches.
