you are looking at 15-20$ for 100 pieces of 5x8.5 or 50 10x8.5 piece of paper. over priced largely because it became the "gold" standard that everyone recommends and uses, some art schools that require a sketchbook won't let you use anything other than that. you want my opinion
i have a 3.5x5.5 or 7x5.5 100/50 pocket sketchbook that can take ink, not sure on watercolor, that is fake leather bound that i can get for about 3$

a sketchbook IS NOT FOR FUCKING FINISHED DRAWINGS, its for getting ideas out there, doodling on the go, not the basis for your pro work.

i personally recommend getting a drawing board and getting paper in individual sheets and working with that, and getting a cheap ass on the go pad, if you need it to take ink or watercolor, get the cheapest that will do that.

hell you want to fell some more reward for doing this, look into binding your own books, hell, you may be able to make some side money by binding and selling custom sketchbooks.

personally, i would use a newsprint book for pencil, something a bit thicker for ink, possibly cardstock, that may also be able to handle watercolor but i wouldn't count on it.

blender, poser, daz, 3dcoat, zbrush, 3ds max...

zbrush may be the easiest to do it and have total control, poser and daz are probably the easiest to learn.

stay within one abstraction style, no need to learn more till you fully understand one. other than that why not?

well aware how shit this drawing is, if i remember right i needed to use my left hand and never felt like re doing it basically you take a sphere, rung a line vertically twice and horizontally once and expand the lines, than draw it as though you cut the rest of it out, its an easy thing to remember, and because its simple geometry you can see if you are drawing it right easily too.

again, well aware how shit the drawing is.

i mean something like this, forgive how shit it looks, had do draw it with the non dominant hand. do something like that but less shit, its something easy to make because its hard to forget, and something you can easily see if its right or wrong just by looking so reference is not necessary... also, because of the simplified form, its easier to practice it at angles and see if its right or wrong, than it would be to do with a head, while still practicing something that will help with drawing the head.
