Bring out your artistic vision by having the right tools at your disposal. Here are seven primary art tool essentials that any artist will want before getting started:

Graphite pencils: drawing the subject before starting is necessary. Got for a few 2B, 6B and 4H pencils to get a good spectrum for shading.
Erasers: kneaded and white erasers will be needed to correct sketching mistakes. Kneaded erasers don’t leave traces behind and can be moulded to erase smaller areas.
Drawing paper: drawing preliminary sketches on inexpensive sketching pads can come in handy in painting.
Painting surface: depending on your medium, choose a painting surface for your final piece of art.
Palette: an inexpensive plastic palette will likely serve you best as they are easier to use and wash.
Brush: get one or two brushes of various types depending on your medium to ensure you paint with your desired detail.
Paint: you don’t need a large array of colours to paint a great painting. Find a basic set of primary colours and you can paint practically anything!
