Reddit mentions of Prismacolor Peel-Off Magic Rub Eraser

For pencils I recommend the Mitsubishi Uni pencils, they lay down smooth and the darks almost look like ink. They're a bit pricey, but I think they're worth it. The full set goes from 10H-10B.

Those are what I generally use for more finished pieces. For gesture drawings and more loose pieces I like to go in with a Prismacolor Ebony pencil or a 2mm lead holder. The lead holder is especially great if you have a hard time loosening up and being more gestural. It's fat lead makes it hard to go directly into small details and just lets you focus on the gesture. This is the one I use, but you can find cheaper ones in big art stores or online.

For erasers, I like using a Prismacolor Peel-Off Magic Rub. I'm not sure why they're so expensive on Amazon, but some art stores sell them for under two dollars a piece. I also like the Tombow Mono Zero eraser for small details like highlights on hair and eyes. And, of course, a kneaded eraser for effects like clouds, mist, texture, etc..

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect sketchbook. I'm more of a mixed media artist, so I need something that holds up to ink, acrylics, graphite, watercolor, marker and whatever random objects I find on the side of the road. I've tried several brands and types of paper, but nothing has given me what I want.
