I keep a selection of pencils in my carrier with my sketch-book, which goes with me at all times.

- When I am out and about, I commonly use a mechanical pencil for quick line drawings and small studies. These are the sorts of things one sketches in such situations, particularly when I'm in a hurry.

If the time permits, and my subject matter is not also on the move (I sketch the people, animals, things, and places around me anywhere and everywhere I stop) I have several drawing pencils in different softness levels.

An HB, a 2B, & an 8B. I also carry blending tools, erasers and a pencil sharpener, so that if I have the opportunity I can do a respectable job of rendering my subject (whatever it may be).

- When I work in the studio, (and have the time)and specifically when my finished piece will be in pencil, I use a range of pencils.

I add 4B, 6B, 2H, 4H, 6H to the above list, as well as a couple of solid pencils (these have no paper or wood around the pencil and allow for wider strokes and fuller coverage with less effort or areas of overlap).

Having time to work with them means you can use a full range of materials to get a better finished product.

To my tools, I add a full-spectrum light, a good erasing shield, several varieties of blenders and a few specialty erasers.

The other advantage I find, to working in the studio is the chance to work with different papers. Coarser textures, and colors can completely transform your work.

Depends how serious you're going to get. If you're just beginning, a plain 6B pencil and a sketchbook will work. If you really want to take a whack at the "professional" way, you can get a package of different hardnesses of pencils. You can use smoother paper or paper with a little tooth (roughness) to it. You can use a tortillion (paper stump) to smudge or your finger.

If you're planning to use other media later on, you should work with the paper stump as much as you can.

Don't forget an eraser.

Who was the firdt person to make photos into artwork?

I think this is an oddly good question. I think the initial responses to photography were that it was a novelty, an advanced sketching tool for artists and a tool for science. The most honest answer would likely be some anonymous hobbiest but the first photographer that I know of that seemed to work at making art from photography was Julia Cameron from about 1845.
