White Prisma¬color pencil #938; any other pencils you ALREADY own (Verithin, watercolor, Lyra, Derwent, etc.) I use Prismacolor Verithin a lot and I will be doing demos with them.
Pen and Ink: Black non-waterproof ink e.g.: Higgins Eternal (I08); Speedball C-0 (N09) or B-0 (N16) pen nib.

A smooth work surface measuring approxi¬mately 12"x 14" (31x36cm) – no bumps or texture. I work on a piece of Plexiglas 2 or 3 mm. thick, but masonite, a cut mat, smooth mat board, or even poster board will work–the ideal is a smooth hard surface.
