R&F Handmade Paints make some of our favourite products.

They're most well known for their Pigment Sticks, which are buttery smooth, solid oil paint sticks that allow you to draw right on your canvas without needing a brush.

Their Encaustics are solid paint and wax blocks. Melt them down, or mix with beeswax and create stunning layered pieces of art with a technique that goes back thousands of years.

The newest addition to R&F are their drawing oils, which are more similar to an oil pastel, but one that actually fully cures and dries.

Created with high quality artists' pigments, R&F will be an amazing addition to any artist's studio.

Nicker Colour Comic Ink in action!

A smooth, rich black and a bright opaque white are the perfect complement for any artist looking to step into working with comics or manga.

The black ink can be diluted for ink washes, so you can slowly build up from a light grey to a deep black. The white is perfect for retouching mistakes, as well as bringing out highlights.

Tell us what you'd draw in the comments with inks like these!
