Artist friends, what should I give my brother for the holidays?
I always have a hard time finding anything for him but he's building his portfolio and while he mostly does digital he's been drawing landscapes and buildings for practice. Are there some nice supplies that cost a few tens of $ I could give him?

@Ormur if you're looking for traditional media, a few things that aren't expensive that I found great:
- Pentel brush pens
- Pentel graph gear 1000 mechanical pencil
If he's doing studies on location, water brush pens / a watercolor palette are perfect.

@angrboda Thanks for the suggestions! I have to get my ass to a decent store and see what's available soon.

@Ormur if you run out of time, jetpens has online gift cards and that place has so much dope stuff that your bro will definitely find something he wants

@angrboda Great, I can keep that as a backup plan if I don't find anything.
