It's time to get creative and dig deep into your imagination. With this months box we want you to step away from the landscapes, portraits and observational drawings and create something never seen before. Invent a creature or character, that may have similarities to something else, but has never previously existed. This newly created character needs to come from your imagination and be born onto the page. This is the first time it will have existed, so don't forget to name them and create a little backstory too.
These POSCA Pens are the perfect tools for all of your marker needs. The medium tip of the PC-5M is one of the most adaptable in the POSCA range. It provides clear, precise line work and beautifully vibrant colour, making it extremely popular among artists and designers. They have a water-based pigment ink that is lightfast, water-resistant and dries permanent on absorbent media such as paper or card. Of course, POSCA works on almost any surface, so you can also try them on woods, metals, glass, plastic, textiles and more. These versatile paint markers provide highly-opaque, matt colour that can be layered, watered-down and used for almost any multimedia project that you can think of.
These Uni POSCA PC-3M water-based pigment ink markers are ideal for precision and accuracy in your artwork. As featured in the POSCA pen range, these pens will write on virtually any surface whilst ensuring there is no bleed through on paper. POSCA pens are completely opaque so light colours can easily be layered on top of dark colours, making this white pen perfect for both highlighting and also correcting any mistakes. The precision bullet shaped nib gives the user amazing line control, allowing for intricate and detailed drawing, outlining, hatching and colouring.
This popular and reliable Ecco Pigment fibre tip pen from Faber-Castell is suitable for writing, drawing and sketching. Thanks to its special pigmented ink it is also ideal for use on drawing paper and transparent paper. The pigmented ink is waterproof and lightfast and the pen features an ergonomic grip zone, making for comfortable use.
This pencil is made for artists and designers. It has a high percentage of carbon in the lead so this pencil delivers deep rich blacks. With a matt finish, this pencil is great for sketching, expressive marks and hatching. It also has a super-bonded lead which lends to a more break-resistant pencil.
This Gecko Freestyle sketchbook (made especially for this box) contains unique hybrid paper combining bleedproof marker paper and bristol board - the perfect blend for marker pens and endorsed by POSCA for use with POSCA paint markers.
