Pens
Pens for calligraphy, lettering, drawing, and illustrating
"What pen is that?"
After a decade of buying, testing, researching, and buying again, I put my tried-and-true favorite art supplies, creative resources, books, even studio supplies, etc. into one free guide.
What's inside
This isn't a sponsored list or a dump of everything on the shelf. It's the stuff I've earned my opinions on, chosen for performance, value for money, ease of use, longevity, and cruelty-free across the board.

Books for art technique and creative living
Classes I suggest for learning art techniques across oh so many mediums
I had to include all the gear because I never want anyone having tech fomo!
👆 Everything is clickable!
Every supply in here links straight to the exact product so you don't need to go hunting for it.
hey I'm Peggy
I'm the artist and educator behind The Pigeon Letters. I've spent the last decade teaching thousands of students across watercolor, gouache, Procreate, lettering, and illustration, and I'm completely self-taught, which means I've personally fumbled through every bad brush and wrong paper so you don't have to. My work and teaching have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Today Show, and Business Insider.
I also make my own line of professional-grade synthetic brushes, because what I wanted to use didn't exist on the market, so I made it.
