If you’ve ever looked at an illustration and thought, I’d quite like to try that, this set is a very good place to begin. The Kuretake ZIG Inktober Illustration Basic Set 2 is thoughtfully assembled for those just starting out in illustration, offering a calm, confidence-building introduction to monochrome drawing.

Created by Kuretake, the set includes five carefully chosen black, white, and grey pens with a mix of brush tips and nib widths. Together, they allow you to explore line drawing, solid fills, highlights, shading, and subtle tonal transitions—all without overwhelming you with choice. It’s a single set that encourages experimentation while keeping things refreshingly simple.
