Your weapon(s) of choice

[redFIVE]

Alright, so what drawing doodads do you usually carry in your pocket all the time?

For me I've gots:
Sanford Col Erase red
Tombow F
Extending eraser thingie
Pentel Easytouch Pen MED
Marvy Calligraphy 2.0 pen

[DavePalumbo]

no wallet? no keys?

sometimes I have a pen on me. if it's jacket or coat weather (and thus I have more pocket room) I'll usually have my moleskin and/or Canon SD200 as well

[redFIVE]

Well... I haven't tried drawing with my wallet yet. There's enough dirt and grime on it tho I bet I could make some cool marks. Hmmm.... *seriously considering this*

[Blue]

Any pencil will do for me. I am not picky about the tools, as long as i have the paper/pencil combo I am fine.

[Lake]

Ticonderoga .5 mm mechanical special edition silver executive. sadly, some freaking idiot (hehe my friend, who now does not come near me when I am drawing) sat on mine WHILE I WAS DRAWING WITH IT - I need a new pencil.



DING 500 posts! woo!

[Evil_Sloth]

yeah i got the faber castell tk fine executive.
it works very well.
i wouldn't mind knowing what type of mecha pencil the pro's use. i know it's all a personal thing but it would be nice to know :^^:

[DavePalumbo]

for day to day out and about sketching? most probably use whatever they happen to be holding. Dunno, I get picky with pens sometimes, but when it comes to a pencil, 0.5mm is as technical as I ever get

[Interceptor]

Faber Castell TK-FINE 0,7 3b pencil... nothing beats Faber Castell when it comes to good pencils... :confident

I feel like singin a jingle...

"FAAABER, FAHAAAABER CASTELL... LOOKS SO GOOD AND WORKS SO WELL!!! FAAABER, FAHAAAABER CASTELL... WITHOUT IT DRAWING BECOMES PURE HELL..."

[musilowski]

Well, I have my digicam everywhere I go...

But usually I leave the pens and stuff home... I need to get a compact bag where to carry those. :D

[flex mathews]

[strych9ine]

glock. we roll hard...

[CCThrom]

any .5 pencil
"tuff stuff" eraser stick
sketchbook
sometimes prismacolors and Panasonic cordless sharpener
boken (for that old-school whupass)

[K-17]

I just found blu-tack to be a far better eraser than any rubber, so add that to my equipment list.

btw, you mean "boken", as in wooden sword boken?

[Blahm]

so you guys are telling me that Faber Castel makes a better Mech than this? http://www.modalv.com/alvinpic/Allpics/DM05.jpg

the hell you say.

[peterhurman]

.5 mechanical pencil and an 15 sketchbook. i havent found any mechanical pencil to work better that another, i use the cheapest i can find because ill chew them to shit anyway.

[Prometheus|ANJ]

Pretty much any 0.5 mechanical, except those that have like a rubber 'girdle', those always melt/sag/deform/get blobby. Most my mechanicals are $1 or less and I have to insert the lead from the front on those cuz they're too cheap to have a loading mechanism.
2B to HB.

[bwkeough]

Sumo-Grip mechanicl pencil brand, 0.5 and 0.7mm. I like the big fat rubber grip and it only cost a couple bucks at Utrecht. My pencil can beat up your pencil.
