This is the set I started with when I first got into Poscas! I love these soft tones. They really set a standard for quality!
Posca 8 Medium Paint Markers Set - Soft Tones
I upgraded to this set not long after I started with Poscas. So many colors to choose from! I think this medium thickness is a great starting point.
Posca Paint Marker Medium Point 29 Colors Set
The full range of thin Poscas! Great for lineart or adding fine details.
Uni Posca Paint Marker Bundle Set - 21 Colors
Absolutely LOVE these. They are watercolors that are THICK, almost like a gouache if you use them correctly. I have the 36 set but some of the other options like metallic are calling my name.
Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI 48 Color Watercolor Set
An awesome product to pan your own watercolors! I put some of my favorite tube watercolors in here. Let them dry and you can use them like other pans!
Honbay 12-Color Watercolor Palette Case
I'm a big fan of using these for watercolors. You fill the barrel with water and squeeze lightly to wet the brush! I prefer this to a standard brush for sure.
MEEDEN 6 Pcs Waterbrush Pen Set for Painting
You can use these just as markers, or add water to use them like watercolors! They're flexible and fun.
ARTEZA 24 Watercolor Brush Pens, Flexible Tips
I love this watercolor paper!! I used to buy the biggest size they have and just cut pieces off of it for my projects. Very reasonably priced!

Papercraft
I LOVE using this paper for papercrafts! I personally am a huge fan of the iridescent color, but there are lots of others!

HIghly recomend if you're looking to get into lino cutting or stamp making!
Speedball Linoleum Cutter Kit with Blades
The Prismacolor 24 pack is an artist staple! The pencils are buttery smooth. Be careful though and don't drop them! The cores will shatter since they're fragile and then sharpening will become IMPOSSIBLE!
Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils
This is my go-to sharpener for ALL pencils. It has two different options for how you'd like the point and is just super effective. It's a great shape and size too!
Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener
Microns are great to use with watercolors! They're waterproof and reliable which is super nice. They have all kinds of thicknesses!
SAKURA Pigma Micron 03 Black Ink Pens - 6 Pack
I've used one of these for years to store my alcohol markers! It's super convenient.
BTSKY Zippered Canvas Marker Case - Black

I really recomend this if you're drawing on a computer!! It's a program from Japan and they're constantly adding new features. Adding your own custom brushes is really easy, and they're constantly updating it with new tools! It's simple enough for a ...
FireAlpaca｜Free Digital Painting Software
I used this tablet for seven years and it's still usable! It's lightweight and small, butserved me so well. I really recomend this for a beginner over an iPad or surface tablet. You have to train your brain to draw on the blank tablet surface and wat...
Wacom Intuos Cth 490 | eBay
This is the software I've been using on my iPad! I personally find it much more user friendly than Procreate. I really like the automatic speedpaints and perspective features!
