A trip to a half decent art shop that is like stepping into a sweet shop got me :

• Stabilo woody pencils that are oil pastel base,
• A big old clutch pencil with different heads and a few other bits a bobs

lets hope it is in the right direction on the never ending quest to the perfect drawing equipment.

It might end once i have learnt how to draw he he

I also built up the courage to break into the moleskin.
