Drawing pencils (2H, HB, 2B)
Drawing paper
Erasers
A light box OR tracing paper

Note: If you’re considering a light box, I recommend the Huion L4S LED Light Pad (A3 size). It’s thin, extremely lightweight, and I’ve had mine for almost five years. As someone who does a lot of traditional drawing, it’s saved me countless hours.
