Tom’s Studio Lumos Pro
I love this sustainable refillable fine liner pen! It has multiple uses and features 11 professional artist'’ nibs, ranging from small fine liners to brush pen nibs. I have the rose-gold version, and my favourite tip is the 0.1.

Daler-Rowney Aquafine Smooth Hot-Pressed Watercolour & Gouache A3 300gsm Paper Pad
Surprisingly, I really enjoy using this for fineliner drawing. It has a subtle texture and a beautiful warm white tone that suits my lines perfectly. It feels like a special occasion every time I draw on it.
Tombow Mono Eraser Set - Zero Round Tip Eraser With Refills (Pack of 2) - White
This precision eraser is a joy to use—it gives you amazing control over your sketches.
I absolutely love it, and my art supplies wouldn’t be complete without it!
Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner 003mm - Black, 8 Pen Set
My favourite nib for shading is the 0.03mm (the line width is 0.15 mm.) Tip: it’s more economical to buy these pens in bulk. These pens utilise archival-quality, water-based ink and are quick-drying.
Daler-Rowney Graphic Series Smooth Surface 250gsm A3 Bristol Board Pad
If you prefer a smoother surface, Bristol board is perfect. I really like this one because the white isn’t too ‘bright’. I buy A3 and then cut it down to A4 and A5.
Tom’s Studio Mechanical Pencil
I use this mechanical pencil for everything - sketching, doodling, plotting ideas. (I have the blush 0.5mm version.) It has a lovely feel on paper and perfect weight to it. It’s a sophisticated little beauty!
