Y'know what I was wondering, what kind of markers, pencils, and pens should I get to draw really good Anime?  Anime, of course, takes talent in the drawing field ..but what tools do you need to make it look good?  I did some research, and this is what I found.


Copic Markers are very good for coloring in your anime....

Copic markers cost about 4 or 5 dollars a marker, or 70 dollars for a set.  Pretty expensive, but very worth it.


For beginners people definitely suggest to get a  How to Draw Anime book.  And some anatomy books.  You can get them from your local library, or buy them from Hobby Lobby.  eBay is also a very good place to buy things like How to Draw books.  Just be careful, and make sure that the books are in mid-condition. Prices vary a lot with different books on eBay   Sometimes you can get deals, like a set of books for 30 dollars, or sometimes a book can cost 30 dollars by itself.  

You can do about anything with a good #2 pencil.  

Sargent Art Colored Pencils are very good for Anime.  Remember you always need a really good black pencil and/or marker for outlining.  

Remember one important thing though.....even though you have all these tools, you have to know how to draw first.  These tools will not do it for you.
