A common noob trap for art is thinking you should get the biggest set of colored pencils or watercolors you can. A dozen colors is actually enough for anyone, but it really matters which twelve. After trying out some nice watercolor pencils, I decided I liked them, but the colors in the box set weren’t good for me. I went to the art store to buy several individual ones to swap out.
A dozen colors that suit your personal expression and blend well together will give your art more identity than having a set of 72 pencils to pull you every which way
