Tombow USA X Deanna First sketching for Tiffany's

Tombow Dual brush pens are my go to for my hair, skin-tone, and accents in my live sketch illustrations. This set was gifted by #tombowusa and I take them to every single one of my events across the country! #tombowambassador

I start off with their mono drawing pens in .03 for the outline and then I go in with my .01 for the fine details like facial features and interior line work. They glide so smoothly and are great against the white cardstock that I use. Grey Tombow dual brush pens are great for shadow work. I use then under the feet usually and accents on white clothing to make them pop and a little bit more realistic. #tombowpro #deannafirst

Deanna's Favorite @TombowUSA Sketch Products

I was thrilled with testing out a few of my favorite #gifted TombowUSA #TombowPro products for my most recent fashion illustrations! Today I’m going to walk you through a few of my most used materials that help make my visions come to life.

I love their Dual Brush Pens in in grayscale and their Mono Drawing Pens! The Dual Brush pens have a watery base which make the pens glide smoothly and fast, which are perfect for my live-sketch events. I use the shade N25 for my thick black outline on edges of my sketch after I get the outline drawn. The drawing pens come in a pack of six and all have various line qualities that are perfect for every part of creating a fashion sketch. I use size 01 and 02 for fine details like the lips, eyes and hair. The bolder outlines around body and clothing I like to use a mix of 05 and 08. They are:

• Smooth, skip-free writing and drawing

• Excellent nib strength

• Water-based pigment ink doesn't bleed through most papers

I also am obsessed with their Dual Brush Pen Portrait Set! I use them for skin tone on all my portraits. Since I do all my sketches so quickly at events I just do an accent line on the edges. This

And here is the final piece! Would love to see what you create if you end up using the #TombowUSA sets! Tag me @deanna_first + @tombowusa
