No problem! And good luck. Remember to do drawings for YOU every so often - and always use the skills you're practicing while you do them!

Here's a few of my weapons of choice.

These pens/pencils work great with each other for designing and sketching. Would highly recommend.

The Mechanical pencils are 0.7mm Pentel Twist Erase XP. They can use the whole stick of lead, unlike most mech pencils. The eraser can be extended/retracted as well. They usually DON'T come with colored lead, but you can find that on Amazon. The kind in the picture is pentel (which I like) but there are Japanese brands on Amazon that might be cheaper. I tried some of the uni-ball 0.7 mm "blue" lead, which was very cheap and it's great. It is noticeably softer than pentel's lead and as a result it erases + smears more easily - but overall it's still less "smear-able" than regular graphite. The tone is extremely similar to blue ballpoint ink.

The PaperMate Flair pens won't bleed through to the other side of your paper (unlike Prismacolor markers) unless it's SUPER thin and have a variable line weight depending on your pressure. Extremely efficient and convenient.

Bic round stic pens are cheap as shit and reliable, unlike PaperMate's garbage ballpoints. Drawings made with the blue round stics (or really any ballpoint) look infinitely better than the black IMO, especially under decent lighting.
