My recent purchases

I am in Delhi currently.  I am more comfortable shopping in Delhi shops. I got the following from a stationery shop yesterday. 
Staedtler Mars Lumograph Drawing pencils.  Two normal Luxor black sketch pens. One Uniball 1mm black gel pen.

The Staedtler Mars Lumograph Drawing pencils contains 2 pencils each of 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B pencils.  And 1 pencil each of 2H, H, B and HB pencils. They will help me in monochrome portraits.  I will be using sharpeners with these pencils.  I made a mistake of using pencil sharpening knife with portraits drawing pencils earlier. Be it color or be it monochrome.  It is better to use sharpeners with portraits drawing pencils. Not pencils sharpening knife. For Staedtler Luna watercolor pencils pencils sharpening knife is okay as you need to apply and not make strokes.  Basically the question is whether you want the pencils sharp or blunt. Pencil sharpening knife is good for blunt pencils.

The black Luxor sketch pens will be handy in funny caricature of VIPs.

The Uniball 1mm gel pen will be great in funny cartoons drawing.
