📌 Mechanical Pencil: Faber Castel with 2B lead (you can use any pencil that is not too hard or too soft)
📌 Eraser: or kneaded eraser, moldable (preferably soft)
📌 Liner: Sakura Pigma Micron size 02 (use the thinnest one you have from any brand, but make sure it is waterproof. It should NOT be water-soluble)

я новичок, рисую гуашью. Можно ли в такой же последовательности наносить краски и гуашью

[@pigeonpolly]

Спасибо за вопрос. Вы можете попробовать, но в работе гуашью есть весомые отличия: начинают с темных цветов и постепенно добавляют более светлые (в акварели наоборот), гуашь позволяет многократно наносить слой за слоем и перекрывать их, блики можно делать плотным белым, в отличае от акварели белый цвет и черный очень часто используется. Надеюсь это помогло)
