Tools of the Trade

Conté crayon, conte crayon is like charcoal but in compressed stick form, I kind of like it better than charcoal, however stick form is not the easiest to draw with until you get to more of a point...I don't know how people who use it all the time deal with it. Conte crayon also comes in more than just black, I have black and white but I think they also do brown?

Also I'll try and find more exciting tools of the trade, however I'm not sure how long this series will continue, there are only so many tools of the trade. Then again as yet I've said nothing about papers and supports so we shall see.
