The Winsor & Newton sketchers pocket box is great for sketching outdoors or in places where you don't have a lot of room. The kit is small enough to fit in your pocket.

It comes with 12 colors which are all lightfast, which means they won't fade. The colors are vivid and it comes with a small paintbrush.

PENTEL INK BRUSH PEN
This brush pen is great for creating links that vary in width. This set comes with two replacement cartridges. It's so much easier than using a regular brush with a bottle of ink, you just put the cap back on when you're done.

PENTEL WATER BRUSHES
These brush have a handle that you can fill up with water. You just squeeze the handle to get water to flow through the bristles. They're great for painting outdoors.

PENTEL TWIST ERASE MECHANICAL PENCILS
Mechanical pencil don't require a pencil sharpener so there's no messy pencil shavings. The graphite also seems easier to erase than a regular number two pencil. Here's a link to them on Amazon. I think they updated the design slightly since when I bought them.
