January treasures

1/ Knetterijs pins.
Knetterijs is a group of freelance illustrators and I finally got some of their pins! it was hard to choose only a few, but they are so cute 🙂 (and it’s fun to support some fellow artists)
2/ New markers.
I grabbed these Stabilo markers right before closing time and didn’t get a chance to test them, but I’m super happy with the soft muted colors and the flow of the ink. I guess that they are supposed to be text markers, but I use them for sketching.
3/ Nitram charcoal & Artgraf tin.
Both products are similar but very different at the same time. The Nitram is super black slightly gritty water soluble charcoal.
The Artgraf is water-soluble graphite so it’s dark grey and has a tiny bit of shimmer. It is more difficult to work over the Artgraf with Neocolor or pencils.
