Really comfy to use and honestly easy to take anywheree! The pages are also very nice for a simple doodle :P
Blick Wirebound Sketchbook
If you wanna start practicing watercolours you should ABSOLUTELY try these and give it a shot! It isn't oversized or anything, and you can literally do a lot with the page sizes!
Strathmore Watercolor Visual Journals! ❤️
Are you trying to paint now but have a limited budget? Yeah no this one is for you. It's like… Lowkey really good I can not imagine a better canvas to test if you're ready to paint, but too scared to get an overly priced canvas, dude. Or gals.
Blick Studio Cotton Canvas Panels and Packs
Now this one is more to a flexible side. You can use it as a sketchbook, a journal, anything! It comes in different sizes and all, also has two options to choose between a small and tall one. Both are portable, and if you wanna do simple sketches out...
Talens Art Creations Sketchbooks!
This sketchbook is perfect for markers. It doesn't bleed, it just absorbs, it also doesnt spread so easily, so if you're scared that you'll rip the pages with markers, this won't rip at all! Absolutely recommend this if you use markers.
Copic Wirebound Marker Sketchbook
This is a second alternative. A little bit more pricey, but quality is by far the best. Comfortable for drawing, doodling, sketching, and other things. Super compatible to use at home, out, or even in the car on a long trip!!1!1!!
Canson Universal Sketch Pad
Colouring stencils 🎨

Derwent Coloursoft Pencils and Sets
Now these ones hit different. Dude it's not that hard to blend w these I am actually crashing out like a kid one candy away from diabetes. This is one of if not the most cheap but best watercolours ever. The minimum set they have has 12 colours PLUS ...
Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Paint Half Pans and Sets
Now some people might say acrylic paint is best for beginners BUT, in my opinion if you're still starting out I'd say use oil paint. Aside from sounding fancy, it's easier to blend, control the consistency, and plus it doesn't immediately go full on ...
Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Paints and Sets 🎀
For this one, it was lowkey best for a newbie cause y'all prolly confused what type of brush, so this is my recommendation. It's flexible and easy to wash.
Blick Masterstroke Finest Red Sable Brushes
I actually love these markers oh lord I used to have them but I gave it away to someone since I stuck with pencil colours but these were the best markers I could have used.
Copic Sketch Markers and Sets
THESE CRAYONS ARE ABSOLUTE NUGGETS. I friggin love them so much. It doesn't have a crappy kindergarten crayon texture, it's legitemately good. If you're a parent or a sibling, and you have someone that likes to use crayons but they mess up drawings, ...
Sakura Cray-Pas Expressionist Oil Pastels and Sets

This is a good guide book, goes for the realism and all. Also has a list of the stuff they have on it. It's a long shot with this one, but if you're REALLY into realism, this is for you!! ❤️
The New Artist’s Guide to Drawing by Macmillan

This is a bit like a motivational book. It's explaining an art style of a certain artist that was famous of drawing simplistically in clean lines, and how that can be something that you can master in, too! It also gives great guides on how to lineart...
The Art of the Line in Drawing: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Simple, Expressive Drawings
This book is more like an art therapy book. Just like the name, it's a book about drawing in one line in 15 minutes. It's a simple book, really. It fits better if you don't mind mistakes and if you are creative enough to make those so called mistakes...
One-Line Drawing: Learn to Draw Florals, Portraits, and More Using a Single Line (15-Minute Drawing)
The one I have earlier is for mangas, this one is to make characters. Still basically the same, but this one focuses more on the artstyle, rather than the intricated poses and compositions. Good if you are still at lost when you make characters for s...
