In the video, I talk about art supplies I like to use. Here are some more specifics on the products I get. I am not sponsored by any of these companies and I don't receive any money from them. When I buy the products, I use my own money. If you have a local art supply shop, it's a good idea to support them if possible!

For smooth newsprint, in the UK I get it from Cassart. In other countries, you'll have to do your own research. Perhaps if you've found good smooth newsprint where you live, you can let others know in the comments.
The other type of paper I mentioned is marker paper. It seems to work well. It's whiter and apparently is archival. I haven't really explored the brands yet though.
For pencils, I buy Pitt Pastel (black) and Generals Charcoal 4B and 6B. I find 2B is a bit too hard. Another good one is Conte Pierre Noire 1710 2B but I find it snaps too much for me! If you like graphite, then the Mitsubushi hi-uni 10B is nice and soft.
For sharpening, I just get a pack of Stanley razors plus disposable nail files.
For the precise eraser, I have a Tombow mono eraser, but I'm sure there are lots of good ones.
