Hello! I’m guessing if you are reading this, you draw anime, and maybe even saw my posts. Well, my favorite website for reference poses just came out with a “This is What I Use” list, so i decided to make one myself! I listed some utensils and websites I like to use to draw my anime. 

For my art, I like to use:

Utensils:

- 0.7 mm mechanical pencils - Staples BIC Pastel

- 0.5 mm mechanical pencil -  

- standard eraser - Amazon

- 4 and 5 graph paper - Staples Graph Notebook

- regular sketch book - Amazon Flying Eagle Sketchbook

- DINO PENS!!! - Amazon Censon Dinosaur Pens

- ½ inch D-ring binder - any kind works!

- 3 - hole puncher - again any kind works!


I didn’t come up with this stuff all on my own, I used some reference things too! Reference definitely helps!

- I din’t use all of these, I actually came up with some of the hair on my own and looking at real hair online: Drawingref.com

- I also look up random anime poses too! AnimeReferencePoses.com

- This is how I learned to make my own poses! MikeyMegaMega

Later on I will make an article with some pics I found on google and use, and one with different aesthetics/themes when you feel uninspired. Please comment below this article and tell me what tips you want to hear next. I will do my best to find resources, videos, and advice to put together for you guys. A bonus tip is that, if you are really good at making characters on Gacha Life or Gacha Club, just redraw those in anime form!
