I started off with a 24 set and built it up from there and I ended up liking these pencils more. These pencils are oil based, so they have a hard core. They stay so sharp and you can add in all those tiny little details, so they're great to work with and especially helpful for hair, fur, or small details.
This is a list with all my favorite drawing supplies for beginners. If you want to get started with drawing but don't know what to buy, this list should help you decide what the most important items are.
Remember, you don't need to buy all of these supplies right away. Rather see which supplies might solve any issues you run into in your journey of learning to draw (for example, one issue may be that you are constantly smudging messy media like graphite or charcoal on your hand, and the answer to that may be to buy a big pad of wax paper to protect your paper/hand with).
Start out with the essentials and then branch out from there!
