Paper
I like to use a variety of colors of paper! Although if I can find an 80lb+ weight, I definitely go for that.
I love softer, more romantic images on this paper! A totally different feel than a stark white paper.
Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Gray
Natural and neutral art is great on this paper! I have loved it for all my insect work.
400 Series Toned Sketch
I like 80lb+ acid free paper. A heavier weight is a nicer feel and in my opinion reflects better quality and value when selling art.
Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper
Watercolor paper for multimedia that is more wet. I like to do architecture drawings on watercolor.

I may be messy but I love some good organization and tools to keep me from going overboard. Here are things I have in my art studio.
I put my large portfolio on this, canvas, frames, large pads of paper, etc.

Adjustable table for drawing and painting at! I actually bought 2 for my studio.

I have one super similar to this for extra lighting while drawing and painting. I mounted it on the wall but it has a plug in for electricity.

I've had the cheap black Amazon light pad before and got a Cricut Bright Pad when it was on sale at Walmart. They're great to have and you do not have to buy an expensive one
