Some brands of colored pencils are MUCH better than others. (Sorry - don't know the brands off hand, but there is a big difference in brands.)
Also, get an eraser and an eraser guard. An eraser guard is a thin piece of metal with holes in it, so one only erases what one wants and the rest is protected.)

I use Prismacolor pencils and I think you can find them at Michaels. I also use them when designing quilts on graph paper. Amazon has a good selection for the coloring books.
Also be sure to get a good sharpener that you can find with the art supplies. The inexpensive ones I tried didn't have a sharp blade and I couldn't get a nice point.
