The reference picture.
Number 1 and 3 are different sizes of soft, flat paint brushes, used for applying charcoal powder. I utilize the small size for intricate areas and the large size for broader areas.
2 is a hard bristle brush, employed on dark areas where charcoal is applied to prevent smudging, unlike the softer bristle brushes.
4 is a large makeup brush, ideal for covering larger areas with charcoal powder.
5 is a General's charcoal pencil within a pencil holder, utilized for achieving dark tones and creating powder from it.
6 is a Meilanzhuju charcoal pencil, known for its intense darkness, reserved for the darkest areas of the artwork.
7 is a 5B Kimberly graphite pencil, primarily used for sketching and light shading.
8 is a small-tipped makeup brush, used for blending lines seamlessly.
9 is an electric eraser, employed for precise highlights.
10 is a Tombo mono zero eraser, perfect for highlights and adding intricate details.
11 is a Nataraj eraser, presumably for general erasing needs.
12 is a container for storing charcoal powder.
Thank you.
Best wishes.
