Figure Drawing Materials

Nupastel charcoal or Conte - I prefer nupastel, it's a lot softer so harder to control but more forgiving if you make mistakes (easy to rub out and erase).  If you master the use of nupastel you have good control in laying down strokes.  Conte is very good as well, is easy to make a variety of strokes from dark thick and strong to light soft and thin, but conte is very unforgiving, once a stroke has been laid down its not going to go away.

I prefer to use bottle green, black or some kind of dark valued pastel






Paper towels, Kneaded Eraser, and a normal eraser are very useful

Drawing Board &
Newsprint paper 18"x 24" inch (45.72 x 60.96 cm) usually you can buy them in 50 sheets
