I use the cheapest sketchbook I can find and a 0.9 lead pencil with tape for a grip I’ve had since middle school. I also have some ordinary Pentel gel pens, a Pentel Japanese ink brush pen, and of course my trusty stub of an eraser.

how do you draw so beautifully! I got a wacom tablet a month ago and its so hard. I did decent sketches in sketchbook but its more different than I thought on digital. And coloring? I can't color at all and I can't figure out how amazing artists such as yourself do it so smoothly and beautifully
Well you can’t get caught up in not improving in a month. A MONTH. Drawing digitally and drawing traditionally are way different, especially for a sketchbook. You’re not gonna figure out how other artists draw and paint, all you can do is pick up some stuff here and there and then eventually draw and paint your own way.
Some tips and tricks I hope I’m right about:
Use a bigger brush. And use a wider range of brushes, If everything has the same texture then everything’s gonna blend in together, BUT don’t go overboard and use a different brush for every object in the painting, otherwise the viewer won’t know what to look at. Use a bigger brush too so you don’t get caught up in tiny strokes with no flow. The best paintings look effortless. For color, learn about complementaries and color theories. Or just look at a lot of artwork that blows you away with its color and try mimicking it.
Finally, for the most annoying bit, practice! There’s no shortcut.
But, here’s a little before and after of my own work, to give you a little bit of hope. Don’t look at it too long or it’ll turn you into stone.
