This will make the lead brittle and difficult to use. Conversely, the more that coloured pencils are exposed to heat or sunlight, the faster they will absorb moisture and dry out. Store them carefully in cool, dark place and they may last much longer. If you are using regular watercolors, then you need brushes in different sizes as well and a mixing palette.The best coloured pencils: frequent questions How long do coloured pencils last?Ĭoloured pencils typically last for at least two to five years, if used sparingly or not at all. With watercolor pencils you just color the area as you would with colored pencils and then just go over it with a wet brush for a watercolor effect. Watercolors - You can use watercolor pencils in the beginning as they are easier to use than watercolors because you are more in control and less likely to mess up your work.But be careful not to use markers over soft pencils as they will clog your marker tip and you won't be able to use it anymore. The only thing I find to be challenging is illustrating sheer fabrics so I usually combine them with markers for that purpose. In combination with hard led pencils like Prismacolor Verithin your possibilities are endless as you can do even more gorgeous textures and add details to your work quickly.
If you use soft core pencils like Prismacolor Premiere then you have the ability to blend with ease and create all kinds of textures and fabrics. They are fairly easy to start with because you can build color as you go so it is harder to mess up and you can erase and fix things easily.

Markers - These seem to be the most commonly used among fashion illustrators and designers as they are quick to use and give an acceptable representation of fabric and color.If you decide to illustrate with markers, start by purchasing a set for skin tones, then add a few for blonde and brown hair, light grey for shading and afterwards just build up your supply based on the projects you will be working on.My Fashionary is intended just for illustrating runway looks that I like and usually draw with colored pencils and markers inside. I use Fashionary sketchbooks which have some useful information as well as croquis templates and I find it perfect for quick sketching when you want to focus on the clothes instead of developing your croquis and poses. Here you can do quick sketches of ideas that come to you during the day or use it as a general design ideas book. S ketchbook - There are so many types to choose from in this area - you can buy a basic pocket one that you can carry around and sketch on the go or one with cute design and layout that will boost your creative juices.My favorite is Canson Mix Media Paper and I usually use it as a sketchbook for developing design ideas and also for illustrations featuring different media.
Aim for all purpose papers so that you can experiment, use mixed media and try different techniques without fear. All-purpose paper or sketchpad - Don't waste your money on buying different papers for each media you will use because in the beginning that is really not necessary.My two favorites are: Pacon Artist 1st (lightweight and smooth, you can use markers on it) and Canson Tracing paper (smooth, transparent and you can use pencil, ink and markers). You can try different brands to see which one works best for you. Semi-transparent Paper or Tracing paper - perfect for tracing and sketching until you are satisfied with the final work.
