kriziacreeja-deactivated2012022: hi miss valerie! I just recently stumbled upon your tumblr and love your artworks soooo much! They are all so beautiful and i can imagine the amount of time and hardwork you put into each and everyone of them. May i ask what kind and brand of pencil do you use? You are truly inspirational.

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words! I use a 0.5 mechanical pencil for doing tighter outlines. I buy either Rotring or DONG-A lead. I think these are the 2 most common pencil lead brands available in Bookstores/Supplies stores here. For pencil rendering, I switch between 2b or 5b Staedtler or Faber Castel. I’m not greatly familiar with graphite mediums so I’m not sure how apparent the difference is between pencil brands. That’s about it. Thanks! :)
