Manga style cartooning and art supplies recommendations for kids
1. Minimal Starter kit: handful of copy paper sheets and pen or pencil is all that’s needed to start doodling. A clipboard is handy for support and keeping sketches neatly together. A 0.5 mm mechanical pencil would be a good choice since it doesn’t require sharpening and often features a small eraser .
2. Compact Take-anywhere kit: a small 3½" × 5½" Moleskine-type sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, and a nice black gel pen can easily fit in a jacket pocket for sketching anywhere.
3. Regular field kit: a small shoulder bag loaded with a 7" × 10"-9" × 12" double wire bound Canson Field Sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, a couple of Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens, a waterbrush, and a small watercolor crayons set can cover most situations on a moment’s notice.
4. Portable Studio: keep all options open in a messenger bag or backpack loaded with a large 9" × 12" or 11" × 14" mixed media sketchbook, favorite mechanical pencil or handful of drawing pencils, Pilot Foam eraser, set of pigment liners, pan watercolor set, waterbrush, and anything else you care to carry.

your drawings are painfully cute!
Wow, I almost bought these just this week! I ended up just getting some individual Hi-Tec-Cs instead, because well, I'm a grownup and I don't think I could actually use up that many pens considering how many I already have. But what a weird coincidence. I am visiting from the Pen Addict!
Thanks for stopping by. Actually I think there is no age limit for enjoying and using these "Hello Kitty" pens. Of course, I personally also stick with the regular Hi-Tec-C pens myself ;). This review pen is going to my niece.
VERY cool, nice work!! ;-)
Cute drawings :) Seems like Sugar was off on some interesting adventures.
I got a Hello Kitty Hi-Tec C from Jetpens as a gift, and wasn't too pleased. Maybe because the artwork I do with pens is mostly on my arm?
Its 0.3 mm pen nib must feel rather uncomfortable on the skin I would think. Good think I prefer to work on paper supports.
