She draws manga stuff mostly in pencil but also has a ton of marker pens for other kinds of art. What art-related gift can I buy her? I'm sure there are some amazing accessories or gadgets out there that I know nothing about. Thanks!

At about that age we bought a (cheap ish) iPad and it's still going strong and they draw on it every day.

Has she got pens for different skin tones? DD asked for those one year and also a drawing easel and a light box. .

Alcohol markers are good for drawing manga. Maybe some canvases.
You could get her a drawing tablet if it's within the budget.

Some books on how to draw Manga if she doesn’t have any already.

My DD likes canvases to do drawing on.

Also, how about some really good felt tip pens. A good set for artists rather than for children's colouring.

Thanks! Some great ideas here. The light box thingy sounds intriguing, I'm off to google that. Also, she does say she want alcohol markers! Which ones are good, does she need the type with the brush tips?

Copic markers, expensive but refillable.

TR888 · 28/05/2022 21:37

She already has an IPad, is the light box any better for tracing? It seems to serve a similar purpose, but I haven't got much idea about these things.
