Getting the Likeness Supply List


  • Drawing pad, 18 x 24” (I like Strathmore Series 400, though any paper works as long as it's not newsprint.)

  • Several drawing pencils, including HB, B, and 2B (if using charcoal, bring softer charcoal such as vine charcoal or extra soft General’s pencils) 

  • Kneaded eraser

  • Large knitting needle, long handle paint brush, or bicycle spoke for comparative measuring

  • Small handheld mirror

  • Drawing board or any board that will accommodate your drawing pad. (optional)

  • Clips to attach paper to drawing board (optional)

Note: These supplies are simply suggestions that I like to use. If you have materials that you are comfortable with, that’s fine. Feel free to email philipsalamone@gmail.com with any questions.
