__ Sketchbook, spiral bound, 11" x 14" (paper with a little tooth is nice)
__ Drawing pad 11" x 14" Strathmore Series 400 (P100); surface regular (not smooth)
__ Graphite drawing pencils (S142): HB, 2B, bring others if you have them: 2H, 4B, 6B, etc. brand doesn't matter

__ Ruler about 12" (S270) 30.48cm in length. Any ruler will do, but my favorite all-purpose rulers are those see-through (S725) clear plastic rulers. They have red lines every ?" and some have a bevel on one edge for inking—inexpensive
__ Sharpie permanent marker (regular tip is great, fine tip works, too -- whatever you have).

__ Flexible pointed nib & holder (only if you have) – not too sharp - Brause Steno Pen No. 361 (N90) is nice
__ Ink - Higgins Eternal Ink (I08), walnut (I53) or your favorite ink
__ Small water container (S731) & paper towels or pen rag
OPTIONAL SUPPLIES: Please only bring these if you have them and if feasible to travel with.
__ Desk lamp and extension cord (extremely helpful, but classroom electrical outlet situation will also determine if we can use)
__ Xacto knife (S621, S662).
__ Folded ruling pen (N30) & holder and/or other ruling pens you have
__ Pigma Micron markers (M17).
__ Mechanical pencil (S681) .5mm HB or B doesn't need a sharpener!
