Here are a few of the items in my arsenal that I use on a daily basis. There's a whole lot more, but I use all that a lot less, and it's frequently stuff that's elementary anyway, like charcoal and conté's oils and whatnot. Also, there's a whole plethora of paints that I use as well, however not nearly as frequently as the items below.
