About drawing supplies

Drawing supplies are the dry and ink media used to sketch, shade and render on paper. Graphite pencils are graded from hard (H) to soft (B): 2H holds a fine light line for layout, HB is the all-purpose middle, and 4B to 8B give dark, rich shading. The Prismacolor Premier Turquoise line covers this range. Colored pencils vary by core: Prismacolor Premier uses a soft wax core that blends and layers easily, which is why artists buy single colors open stock to replace what they use most.

Soft pastels and charcoal are powdery sticks for broad, blendable tones on toned or textured paper. Illustration markers such as Prismacolor Premier fine line pens give consistent waterproof black lines for inking and outlining. Brush pens like the Pentel Arts pocket brush pen hold ink in a refillable cartridge and flex from hairline to bold stroke, popular for lettering and manga. Acrylic paint markers from Sharpie Creative write on paper, wood, glass and canvas and dry permanent.

Erasers matter as much as pencils. A vinyl eraser like Sanford Magic Rub lifts graphite cleanly from drafting film and paper without smearing, a Pink Pearl is the classroom standard, and a kneaded eraser pulls up charcoal and pastel. For schools, buy classroom packs of graphite pencils, erasers and washable markers. For studios and illustrators, open-stock colored pencils and marker refills keep costs down.

Drawing Supplies buying guide

How to pick the right drawing supplies and pack size.

  1. Understand graphite grades

    Graphite pencils run from 9H (hardest, lightest) through HB to 9B (softest, darkest). For general sketching start with 2H, HB, 2B and 4B. Drafters favor harder grades for crisp lines; fine artists use the B range for shading. Prismacolor Premier Turquoise pencils are sold by grade so you can buy only the ones you use.

  2. Open stock vs colored pencil sets

    Sets give a balanced palette for a beginner. Open-stock single colors, such as Prismacolor Premier white, let you replace the pencils that run out fastest: white, black, skin tones and neutrals. Classrooms usually buy a set per student and open-stock whites and blacks in bulk.

  3. Choose the right eraser for the medium

    Vinyl erasers like Sanford Magic Rub remove graphite cleanly without abrading paper or drafting film. Pink Pearl erasers are a durable classroom choice for pencil. Kneaded erasers lift charcoal and pastel and can be shaped to a point. Keep a block eraser and a kneaded eraser in every drawing kit.

  4. Brush pens, fine liners and paint markers

    A brush pen with refill cartridges, like the Pentel Arts pocket brush pen, gives variable line weight for lettering and inking. Fine line illustration markers give fixed widths for clean outlines and cross-hatching. Acrylic paint markers like Sharpie Creative write on wood, glass and canvas and are opaque over dark surfaces.

  5. Pastels: soft vs hard, and fixative

    Soft pastels like Derwent Alphacolor lay down heavy, blendable color and work on toned paper. Hard pastels and pastel pencils give detail. Charcoal sticks are the darkest and smudge easily, so plan on a kneaded eraser and a fixative. Buy pastels in 3-packs or sets by color family.

Drawing Supplies: questions, answered

Straight answers about buying drawing supplies from SNILLC.

Are the drawing supplies on SNILLC genuine brand products?

Yes. Every drawing product SNILLC sells is a new, genuine Prismacolor, Pentel Arts, Derwent, Mr. Sketch, Sharpie, Paper Mate, uni-ball or Pilot item in original manufacturer packaging. SNILLC does not sell counterfeit or relabeled art supplies.

Can I buy drawing supplies in bulk or at wholesale prices?

Yes. Business members pay $49 per year for wholesale and case-pack pricing on Prismacolor pencils, erasers, pastels and markers. Orders of 6 or more packs or pallet quantities can request a bulk quote from the cart, which is how schools and studios order for a term.

Which brands of drawing supplies does SNILLC carry?

SNILLC carries over 120 drawing supplies from Prismacolor (about 50 products), Pentel Arts (nearly 40), Derwent, Mr. Sketch, Paper Mate, uni-ball, Sharpie, Pilot and Elmer's. The range covers 51 art pencils, 26 pens, 17 pastels, 16 markers, 5 erasers plus crayons, art sets and blenders.

Do you ship drawing supplies nationwide and how fast?

Yes. SNILLC ships drawing supplies to all 50 states from its warehouse in Rancho Cordova, California, with tracking on every order. Ready-to-ship items leave fastest. SNILLC ships within the USA only.

Is there a minimum order for drawing supplies?

No. Retail customers can buy one pencil or one eraser. Business members have no minimum either, though case-pack pricing applies to full boxes and bulk quotes start at 6 packs or pallet quantities.

What is the difference between Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and Turquoise pencils?

Prismacolor Premier colored pencils have a soft, thick wax-based core made for blending and layering color. Prismacolor Premier Turquoise pencils are graphite drawing pencils sold by hardness grade, from hard H grades for drafting to soft B grades for shading. Artists typically use both in one kit.

What do H, HB and B mean on graphite pencils?

H stands for hard and B for black (soft). Higher H numbers are harder and lighter; higher B numbers are softer and darker. HB sits in the middle and is the equivalent of a standard #2 pencil. A basic drawing set covers 2H, HB, 2B and 4B.

Which eraser is best for graphite drawings?

A white vinyl eraser such as the Sanford Magic Rub 1954 removes graphite cleanly without smearing or tearing paper and is safe on drafting film. A kneaded eraser lightens areas and lifts charcoal. Pink Pearl erasers are durable and inexpensive for classroom pencil work.

Can the Pentel Arts pocket brush pen be refilled?

Yes. The Pentel Arts pocket brush pen uses replaceable pigment ink cartridges, and SNILLC lists the pen with refills included. Buying refill cartridges instead of new pens lowers the cost for letterers and illustrators who use it daily.

Which drawing supplies should a school art room order?

Most art rooms order graphite pencils in HB and 2B, Prismacolor colored pencil sets plus open-stock white and black, Pink Pearl or Magic Rub erasers by the dozen, soft pastels or charcoal for shading units and washable Mr. Sketch markers for younger grades. Business members can buy all of these by the case.
