Here are my top 5 pencil case essentials that I cannot live without:
1. OHTO Sharp Pencil
Mechanical pencils are a must-have for any pencil case. They eliminate the need for sharpening and provide a consistent line width. The OHTO pencil is a classic piece of Japanese stationery and makes drawing effortless. Make sure to stock up on extra lead to avoid running out during important tasks.

2. Pentel Water Brushes
These fabulous brushes are fantastic for painting with watercolours. They come with a compartment which you top up with water which means your paint never dries out and you get consistent wet marks. Once I started using these, I never went back to traditional brushes!

3. Pilot 5 Black Ink Fine Liner
This amazing Japanese black ink fine liner is one of my favourite pens for creating outlines and fine detail. I got this from a stationery shop in Stockholm and I am so glad I took a chance on it! It is great for precision and for making the drawing experience exciting and beautiful.
4. Winsor & Newton Putty Rubber
Having a good quality eraser is crucial for fixing mistakes and keeping your work neat. I have always found using a good putty rubber is a great addition to my pencil case. You can knead them to a point and certain shapes to erase fine lines and marks. Perfect for precision!

These are perhaps not an essential but I find them very useful and very cute at the same time! Midori paper clips are perfect for any animal lover. They are perfect for adding to your pencil case and are there for you for when the occasion arises. You can get them in different dog breeds, cats, birds and much more.
