I already read the rules and beginners guide.

When I was a kid, 8-13yo, I used to draw comic and anime characters (Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, etc).

Also drew a lot of comics and would gift them to some people, random ass stories, etc.

Anyway, I wanna get back to it. But I don't wanna go back to pencil/paper kinda drawing, I'd prefer to get pens/mechanical pencils and tools that make things way easier. I know a good artist can draw awesome shit out of a napkin and an old ball point pen. I'm not trying to impress anyone, just wanna draw for myself, the max I wanna draw is a something that I can hang above my bed header in a frame.

Anyway, what's a good mechanical pencil, or pencil that's easy on the hand?

What do you call those easy to erase blue pencils people use for initial sketch? (skeleton/shape)

You got a recommended how to draw anime book? I did a google search but obviously too many choices.

I'm also an adult with a good paying job, so I don't mind having a budget from $100-$500 for pencils/erasers/markers/whatever (unless it turns out that's way underbudget for this)

From my understanding, the process is skeleton in that blue pencil, then sketch in black pencil, then marker for the good lines, and then erase all the pencil stuff (This coming from art I've comissioned in the past)

So I'd like to figure out how to kick-start this. I'm not looking to be an artist, I just wanna draw for myself and not suck at it.
