Corked back rulers are a must. The cork prevents the ruler from slipping which is ideal when using the ruler as a cutting edge.

I'd love to have this. Cutting by hand is great if you're doing it on a small scale. I need something for cutting my larger sheets of paper and matte board.

Olfa's retractable utility knife is for more heavy duty cutting. I use it to cut down large sheets of foam core, cardboard, rope, etc. When the blade gets dull, you can simple snap off a section of it to expose a fresh blade edge....

Like the bottle says, rubber cement is a good paper adhesive and doesn't cause curling or buckling like other paper glues. If the glue is too thick for you, you can add rubber cement thinner. Rubber cement is applied with a brush. Supervise children if they're using it. I've gotten woozey off the fumes quite a few times.

When I want to do LARGE drawings I pretty much always stick to arches. You can purchase large rolls of watercolor paper (various weights and textures) from NY Central, Utrechts, Dick Blick, or Pearl Paint.

This pad of paper is referred to as a 'block'. Its a great quality heavy stock (140 lbs) paper that I use for mixed media drawings. The 'hot press' referrs to the texture of the paper. Hot press is smoother than 'cold press'.
