(Cleveland, OH) - February 2010 - Learn to draw comics similar to the ones you enjoy in your favorite comic books with Faber-Castell's Creative Studio Getting Started: Complete Comic Illustration Kit. This kit includes everything you need to start creating your own dynamic characters and adventures. The fully illustrated 28-page instruction booklet takes you step-by-step through the drawing process, and there is a 2-dimensional mannikin to help you create action drawings.

The kit contains 3 PITT artist pens with black ink in superfine, brush, and medium nibs that are perfect for doing comic illustrations. The superfine pen is great for details, the brush nib for bold, opaque lines, and the medium one for everything in-between. These PITT artist pens contain India ink that is permanent, lightfast, smudge proof, and archival. Use 3 Art GRIP Watercolor Pencils in red, blue, and yellow to add color and watercolor effects to your designs - release the paint in the pencils with the brush that's included and water. Develop your graphic stories and scenarios on a variety of paper - sheets of Bristol paper, a 12-page Sketch Pad, and an 8-page Comic Drawing Book. The kit also contains a graphite pencil, eraser, sharpener, and stencil to start you on your way to becoming a Comic Illustration artist.
