My comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Urban Sketching is coming soon!
Mypaperworld
Find it on Amazon
Love the square format and colours, one of the best 100% cotton books I've found. Perfect for guilt-free watercolor practice (Best value for money).Royal Talens: Art Creation
Find it on Amazon or Find it on Jacksonsart
Literally THE mixed media sketchbook, can easily hold 2-3 washes of water-based paint and is smooth enough for any fineliner. Works well as a makeshift hot press alternative too.Baohong: Classic Watercolour Sketchbook
Find it on Jacksonsart
More fancy, while still being at a fair price, I find Baohong paper to be pretty much equal to Arches. You will do good watercolors with this one.
Rosa Gallery
Find it on Jacksonsart
Ukrainian brand, while being incredibly affordable for tubes, this brand is incredibly pigmented and creamy.
Love using these!
You can find the custom 3d print inlay here: on MakerworldRoman Szmal: Aquarius
Find it on Jacksonsart
Like above, incredible creaminess and affordable. This one has pans only, however :)
As a plus, they have one of the smallest metal cases in pretty colors, heavily recommended: Find it on Jacksonsart
You can find the custom 3d print inlay here: on MakerworldDaniel Smith

Ferrari of the watercolors, and they cost as much. Still one of the most incredible colors. Also the only brand out there that has watercolor sticks - not crayons, but sticks of pure watercolor. Takes some getting used to, but once they click, they are amazing and I love using them.
You can find the custom 3d print stick holder (WIP) here: on Makerworld
Uni: Pin Waterproof
Find it on Amazon or Find it on Jacksonsart
Nothing beats these in how they feel when drawing. They give a smooth line from all angles and dry quickly.Staedtler: Pigmentliner
Find it on Amazon or Find it on Jacksonsart
Really good alternative when you want to spend just a little less. These are sturdy with a smooth line.
Also they've got funky colors: Find it on Amazonuni-ball Eye Micro UB-150 Rollerball Pens & uni-ball Vision Elite UB200 Liquid Ink Medium
Find it on Amazon & Find it on Amazon
Yet again, uni does not disappoint -incredibly smooth, fast drying, and just fun for dynamic lines.
All that for the price of office supplies. :D
Uni: Posca Marker
Find it on Amazon or Find it on Jacksonsart
When I tell you I have tried almost every white pen I come across - THIS is THE ONE.
I have yet to find one that is more opaque and long-lasting than this one.
Dual Brushes by Borciani e Bonazzi
Available in 2 versions, having both of them in your repertoire will go a long way. For the longest time I used the first version with a mop brush and normal round tip, and just having this one was plenty of an option for me usually. I recently got the 2nd version for the flat brush, the other end of it being a sword tip.Unfortunately, neither of them are available on Jackson’s or Amazon. Lucky for you, there are many other fine options available: on Jacksonsart
MAUL Metal Clips with Magnet
Find it on Amazon
These are sooo handy. Firstly, they keep the pages from flipping in the wind, and secondly, the magnet lets you stick stuff to it. I, for example, have a metal tin for water that I put one on, and I clip a sponge cloth (cut to size) to it as well.
If you get a bigger metal clip, it can also hold the Roman Szmal metal case just fine. This way you have everything you need attached to your sketchbook.DARUITE Round Tin Box (Set of 3)
Find it on Amazon
Here's the metal tin box - make sure it's not aluminum, as it won't stick to your magnet! It has to be tin.Vileda Sponge Cloth
Find it on Amazon
Cut it to any size you want, wash, reuse. It soaks up water really well while being extremely thin and easy to transport. Also dries quickly.Small Spray Bottle (20ml)
Find it on Amazon
A small spray bottle (you can get the travel-size ones) to wet your watercolor pans is essential for me. Saves time trying to activate the colors and is small enough to carry around.UHU patafix Removable and Reusable Adhesive Pads
Find it on Amazon
Ever got annoyed at the metal framing in your watercolor boxes? Me too. That's why I take them out and stick the pans in with this. Fits more, and never has one escaped me, even when dropping the box. That stuff is SECURE.
KVASS Camping Stool - Foldable Outdoor Trekking Stool
Find it on Amazon
I recognize urban sketchers by their camping stool. It's such a handy thing to be able to sit down on every corner as you need to sketch it. This one I like because it folds extremely small while being durable.Foldable Fisherman's Hat -Rainproof & Sun Protection, Quick-Drying
Find it on Amazon
Weather, sun or rain, neither should be underestimated. I like this one as I can fold it away and clip it to my bag when I don't need it. Also comes with a string for when it's windy.Microphone for Android and iPhone
Find it on Amazon
Cheap, portable and does the Job well :DMobile Phone Tripod & Selfie Stick
Find it on Amazon
Portable and Lightweight :)
