From sketch to superhero – master the art of comic illustration

This comprehensive comic illustration set transforms budding artists into comic creators with a complete toolkit developed in collaboration with professional comic artists. The 15-piece collection guides aspiring illustrators through the entire comic creation process – from initial sketches to final coloured masterpieces.

At the heart of the set are three professional Pitt Artist Pens featuring brush, fine, and extra-fine nibs filled with pigmented India ink that's lightfast, waterproof, and acid-free. These work alongside six carefully chosen Goldfaber coloured pencils in essential comic colours including white for highlights, grey for shadows, and vibrant tones for bringing characters to life. The included Grip Matic mechanical pencil comes with special blue leads – a professional comic artist secret that disappears when artwork is scanned, perfect for digital comic creation.

What makes this set truly special is the comprehensive step-by-step guide that teaches fundamental comic illustration skills: drawing shapes, creating shadows, understanding proportions and anatomy, mastering perspective, and the art of visual storytelling. The three-phase approach covers drawing, inking, and colouring, helping young artists develop their own unique superhero characters and compelling stories.

Suitable for children aged 12 years and up

Why we chose it

What drew me to this set is the professional blue pencil leads – they disappear when scanned, just like the professionals use for digital comic creation. Combined with genuine India ink Pitt Artist Pens and a guide developed with real comic artists, it's not just a drawing set. It's actual professional tools made accessible to young creators.
